WATER! WATER The hume run
ming through the town filled up and
leaped its barriers on vest erday after.
noon. The muddy torrent boiled up a
short time after through the sidewalk in
front of Carley's Saloon, and made a
river of Main street, on its way to Deer
Greek. By dint of hard work by nu-
merous citizens who volunteered for
the occasion, the muddy fluid was got
under tolerable control in the course of
an hour or two, without having caused
much damage. That Aume, like another
institution of our country, is trouble
some one to dispose of satisfactorily to
all parties, out is one to be, and likely
to be, endured.

UNPARALLELED MEANNEss.-An in
dividual in this city held an execution
against another which was placed in the
hands of the sheriff for the purpose of
collecting the claim, but the officer find
ing no property it was returned unsatis-
fed. ~ short time since, the creditor
discovered small monument in one of
the marble yards in the city, which had
been ordered by the debtor to be placed
over the grave of little child he had
recently buried. Forthwith this worthy
exemplar of Shylock waited upon the
sheriff and instructed him to levy upon
the stone. That officer very properly
demonstrated against an act SO barbar-
Gus and unchristian, but without avail.
He was threatened with prosecution,
unless he performed this unpleasant du
ty, and the stone was accordingly seized
and in time sold. There was no one
mean enough to bid upon it but the cred
itor, and it was knocked down to him.
A little monument of little child, with
the names of the parents, and their off
spring, upon 1.-THE figure of dog, the
emblem of fidelity, in an attitude of re-
pose surmounting it--was bought in by
this thing in human form. AS we look
ed upon this stone and listened to this
little history connected with it, we
could uot help thinking that he who
had done SO base thing against his fell
low deserved no repose in this world or
the next.-Bufalo Courier.

Thus it appears that Nevada Town
ship pays nearly half the property tax
of the county; Grass Valley pays a
fourth. but its delinquency is double
that of Nevada, while in Eureka town
ship the delinquency swells to 25 per
cent of the whole amount of State and
County tax. Bridgeport shows the dis
creditable deficiency of nearly sixteen
per cent. and Little York is little better
Out of S13,625 O4 tax Eureka exhibits
three tines the deficiency that Nevada
does uut of $50, ,407 ,51-that is to say, if
the de6ciency of Nevada township was
equal to that of Eureka it would be
S7,602, 80 instead of s1,2O1. Had Grass
Valley paid up as well as Nevada its de-
ficiency would be only s6O1,75 instead
of 81, ,2o3,59; and had Bridgeport been
equally prompt we should have only to
record against it $427.71 instead of $2,-
1858; on the same basis Eureka would
only be deficient S42O,4O, iustead of
S3,2S2,12. This list does not inclnde
the supplemental list of tie assessor
that was made up of old mortgages,
neither does it refer to the mining claims
taxed, which taxation was held illegal
by the Supreme Court. We trust
knowledge of the foregoing facts will
lead to healthy emulation among the
townships, and induce property holders
to discharge more equally the burdens
of government.

FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY.-An af-
fray occurred at Columbia Hill on Sun.
day evening last which terminated in
the death Of one of the parties. one John
West. From the evidence elected on
the examination before Justice E. W.
Smith, of this place, on Tuesday, we
gather the following history Of the oc-
currence
John West attempted some time since
to jump mining claim belonging to
Sidney Richardson, about which diff
Guilty arose. West met Sidney Rich
ardson on the street and asked him what
he would take for his cabin on the claims.
Richardson replied that he did not wish
to sell the cabin unless he sold the claims
also. Richardson then left West and
went to his cabin. The latter then in
vited some bystanders to drink, prop
osition which was accepted and they
went in to bar and drank. When
he came out of the saloon he said that
he was going down to clean out the Rich
ardson boys, and went soon after. He
entered the cabin, somewhat intoxicated
and in the course Of a conversation used
abusive language towards Thomas Rich
ardson. He was told to cease such talk
or leave the cabin. Neither of which
orders being obeyed he was put out and
the door bolted. West soon made his
appearance at the front door with an
axe and commenced cutting the door
open. Sidney Richardson opened the
window and called upon some persons
outside, if they were the friends of West
to take him away before he got used up.
As soon as he heard the window open he
rushed towards it with his ak raised. as
if he intended to throw it into the cabin.
He began again striking at the door with
the AK. Thomas Richardson opened a
window with pistol in his hand, West
hearing the window shove came with The
axe up towards Richardson when the lat
ter shot hiu in the left breast The
wounded man staggered few steps,
calculated 20" and fell dead.
A coroner's jury the next day render
ed verdict that John West came to his
death by pistol shot fired by Thomas
A. Richardson in self-defence.
Richardson came to this city the same
night of the affray and gave himself up
to the custody of the Sheriff. The case
was Investigated before Justice Smith,
on Tuesday evening and Richardson &C.
quilted.
Richardson has the appearance and
bearing of a gentleman of mild and am
liable character, and little qualified to
take the life of another without good
cause. On the examination he refused
to have counsel expressing his willing
ness to rely solely upon the unbiased
judgement of the Court.

BRANCH STATE PRIsoN.-The bill to
authorize the construction of branch
State Prison has passed the Senate, and
will probably pass the House. A nice
berth will thus be created for another
ugly man to serve gratuitously and re-

Treasury will be necessary. The duty
will be more than one can perform.

EIGHT CHILDREN AT BIRTH.-About
five months since the wife of Jacob Alb

them sickened and died. The remain

THAT BULKHEAD.-The necessity of
a sea wall at San Francisco, which has

Prof. Bache and other scientific as we'll
as practical gentlemen, declare that the

the shoaling and that sea wall instead
would not remedy the difficulty.
We have hitherto understood that the
sand used in filling up water lots, was
constantly breaking through the front
wooden walls and filling up the channel.
1t looks reasonable, but. perhaps, the
savans know best.
