shot his mare, which has since died. The same
Indians, eleven in number, drove off twelve head Of
cattle party Immediately followed in pursuit,
and recovered eight head, the remaining four having
been lanced. On the 10th, a band Of the same
Indians visited the town Of La Mesa, and made

A number Of citizens organized and followed the
thieves and it is hoped they may be successful in
infieting on them the punishment they SO justly

THE PIoNEERs PASSING AWAY Tho San
Andres Independent, in noting the death and burial
of miner, says:
In this wonderfully healthy climate, deaths from
disease are rare, and, from this very rarity, when
they do occur, furnish food for serious reflection.
Most Of people to this State from eight to
eleven years ago, in the full flush Of youthful health
and hope. But few Of them ever cherished thought
that their home to be here, or that they would
ever make permanent stay in the mines--none,
perhaps, that they would here be laid down forever.
Yet, in the quiet little village on the HILL where no
sound of hammer or pick is heard through the live
long day, gradually and surely the weary wanderers
from many lands are being gathered their struggle
with fortune senced forever their hard luck; their
rich strikes: the pusations Of hope the gloom Of
despair, which each in turn animated their souls
alike forgotten. Year follows year in rapid march,
and the youthful forms Of ten years ago, are now
approaching the shady slope Of life's two-sdod hill
One by one, (howeyer sl0wly,) they pass away to
their quiet and eternal rest, leaving u.s. at each f
saddenng memories incurable. Many a rich sub
ject Of romance has been thus stored away in the
land OF the stranger; many moral hero, the incense
Of whose life, under the tide Of adversely or the sting
Of " chill penury' wasted ON the desert air."
thus is history being enriched through the decay
Of the past; and thus 30 the old pioneers down to
their long homes.

FATAL AFFRAY.-An affray took place at Tut,
tletown, TuoluInne county, on Sunday, April 22d,
between two old residents Of that vicinity, named
George Coffelt, alias Bob York, and James Commit,
which resulted fatally to the latter. It appears that
both men had been gambling and drinking freely
the previous night. Meeting on Sunday morning,
they had drink together, when CofeIt charged
that Commit had been "capping" for the bank when
they were gambling. Words followed on both sides,
and from words they got to blows and knock down,
in which Cofelt came off second best. After they
had separated, Cofelt drew dirk, followed Commit
up, and stabbed him in the breast. The wound
penetrated the abdomen, cutting the transverse
colon, and passing through both walls. The woun-
ded man fingered until Wednesday following when
he died Coffelt was arrested and lodged in the
county Jail.

was about to speak" They, however, were
impervious; they had resolved not to report a
single line of the banquet speeches, and desired
that the tradesmen of Dudley, if they were not
before aware of it, may now understand that
reporters were unaccustomed to accept tbe hon

LAKE CITY.-The Eureka Lake Ditch Company
have laid out town site on a piece Of land owned
by them Mt Amold's ranch about eleven miles from
San Juan up the Middle Yuba ridge, facing Humbug
Canon, and surrounded by some Ct the finest scenery
in the mountains The embryo town is christened by
the ambitious title Of Lake City. The company seil
lots at merely nominal rates. and say they will apply
the proceeds 70 public improvements, such as laying
out park and garden. Several houses are already
built on San Juan street, and occupied as dwellings,
shops and hotels. One Of the hotels is the well
known house Of Henry Arnold. Another was lately
built by Mr.. Poquion, and the roof Of it commands
enhancing view Of the adjacent mountainous
pine clad country, with far ystas Of the Sacramento
valley, the Three Buttes and the purple coast range
The slopes Of the ridge on which the town is laid
out nearly all baYe a southern exposure, clothed
with deep rich soil and are admirably adapted TO
horticulture and grape growing. There does not
seem to us TO be any necessity for town just at
that point, although there are good dggings in the
vicinity; but if some Of our French fellow citizens
can content themselves TO stop there and 90 into
the wine-gowing business systematically, they can
make themselves independent and eventually build

ExHUMATIoN OF THE REMAINS or ROGER VII.
LIAMs-lt may be counted singular that while
the memory OF Roger Williams is so well honor
ed. his grave should be unmarked, aud almost
unknown Z" He was buried +" says Calender,
with all the solemnity the colony was able TO
show" But he was buried in his own field,
which was liable to all the changes of private
property; aud the colony. after his funeral,
took no further pains TO honor his grave. 1t is
more than century aud three quarters since
his death; a popnlous aud prosperous city has
grown up around the spot; of bis name aud
principles the world talks from side TO side;"
but nothing has been done to mark or protect
the place where bis ashes lie.
IL is known that the family burial place was
in the field back Of the house of the late Sullivan
Dorr, Esq. The fact has been handed down,
that about the year l740 bis grave was en-
croached upon by anew grave prepared for one
of his descendants, which seems to show that
its exact locality was not marked then. There
is 10 later account of it. One of the descen-
dants of Mr.. Williams, Mr.. ShadFach Randall.
of North Providence, has recently tried to de-
tcrmine the spot, and il he could recover any
remains TO remove them to more public and
secure deposit Last Thursday the grave was
opened. Two graves we're found running into
each other. aud without doubt the one farthest
west was that Of Williams. But no distinguish
able remains could be found.
A number of nails, small fragment OF wood.
undoubtedly of the coffin. and mass of black
earth was all that could he reclaimed The
contents Of the grave, snch as they we're, were
taken TO tomb in the North Burial Ground.
Mr.. Randall intends. with a pious care which
does him honor, 10 remove all the remains
which may be discovered by farther search,
aud give them burial in the public ground. On
that day but two graves were opened, though
three or four, apparently of children, were un
covered. - Progidecc JournaL.

WHOLE NO. 344:


We find the following in the Sacramento
Standard Of the Sd inst II is scarcely credible
that such an affair could have occurred in any
part of the United States territoryi
From late number Of Texas paper we
learn that witch had q few months since been

kidnap and take her TO Camargo. This they
did In the most brutal manner. They lassoed
her and dragged her on the ground until they
feared she would die. aud they would not be
able TO get her to Camargo. They beat one Of
her daughters badly for interfering te protect
her poor mother; shot ut another for the same
reason; but finally succeeded in conveying the
old woman across at Roma. She was taken 20
Camargo, severely beaten. aud her body stuck
full Of thorns of pricky pears. and this heating,
etc., repeated as soon as she recovered suffl-
GENTLY TO be able TO endure IL, for the space Of
two weeks. This treatment Of the witch did
not, however, improve the health of the Gal-
lico, aud the witch doctor told them that they
would have to burn her; that the sick man had
pigeon bones in his head, aud that as soon as
the witch commenced burning the homes would
protrude and he (the witch doctor) would then
pull them out, and this was actually done. The
poor woman was tied up and corn shucks light
ed under her feet. aud kept in this borrid tor
ture until she was 80 badly burned that there
remained no possible chance of her recovery,
and, understand, she soon afterwards died.
