A NEGR0 MURDERED AT GRASS VALLEY.-A
fatal stabbng affair occurred last Friday even
ing, at house of i'll fame, kept by mulatto
woman named Priscilla, in Grass Valley. 1t
appears that white man named A. c. Nichols
has been on very intimate terms with Priscilla,
and latterly had become jealous of the atteu-
tions of negro towards his mistress On en-
tering the house Friday evening, Nichols dis
covered the negro lying on sofa, aud imme.
diately plunged knife three times into bis
body, in the region of the heart, and left the
house. Nichols was afterwards arrested, and
examined on Saturday before Justice Richard
son; but as there was no one in the room at the
Gime excep, Priscilla aud the negro, who we're
not competent to testify against a white per-
son, he was discharged fer want of evidence.
The negro died OF his wounds on Monday morn
ing. We have not learned bis name.

What peril tempt, what hardship bsart
But with her, all she never knew

And she with me, so cold and coy,
Seemed like maid bereft of sense;
But in a crowd, all life and JOY,
And full of bluslful Impotence.
She married! well. woman needs

And little cares sprung up like werds,
And played around her elbow chair.
And years rolled by, and l content,
Trimmed my own lamp aud kept it bright
Till ages touch my hair bespent.
With rays and CLEANS ofsilyer light.
And.then it.eh:nced I took the book
Which she had read in days gone by,
And as | read such passion shook
