WASHOE MINING.-From what may be con-
sidered reliable source, we derive the following
facts touching the operations of the principal
companies now at work on the Comstock lead.
The Ophir Company, since under the superinten-
dence of Capt Dali, now some two months, have
taken out l34 tons of ore, which it is estimated
will yield $4,000 per ton, total of $S26S, 900.
They are now taking out seven tons of sulphur
cts per day; and it is the opinion of the superin-
tendent, Judging from the width of the vein as at
present exposed, that at least five tons per day
can be extracted and shipped over the mountains
before the close of the season. This, supposing
the route to keep open till the last of October,
will give 600 tons, yielding, at the above valua-
ton, 81 ,200, 900.
The Central Company, adjoining the Ophir on
the south, have yet shipped only about 200 tons
of ore, estimated of little value with that from
the Ophir. Col. Raymond, superintendent, is
now erecting machinery on the ground, and will
suspend further operations in the mine until it is
completed.
The owners Of the Mexican claim, from which
large amount of valuable ore has been taken,
have recently overhauled their trimmings, from
which they have selected and shipped 25 tons of
ore worth 81 500 per ton.
The Washoe Mining Company, under the
management of Chas. Strong, have already
shipped seven tons, valued at $l 200 per ton,
and although but recently organized, are pushing
their operations vigorously.
From The Chollar ground, few tons taken
from near the surface have been sent to San
Francisco for reduction. We have not been able
to learn what it yielded, yet there is little doubt
but the great mass of the ore will prove as rich
as that taken from the Central or Ophir; We
saw some sulphurets taken from the Choiiar on
Monday last, that resembled and will doubtless
prove valuable as any taken from these claims.

CITY AND COUNTY.
Result of the city Regatta.

There was another grand afternoon for the
second day regatta on Lake Quinsigamond
yesterday The attendance of spectators was
very considerably greater than on the previous
day. The stream OF travel from the Lake
Signal station over the pasture to the lake was
immense and was only rivaled in numbers by
the dusty caravan which possessed the high
way for over a mile, and was distinguishable
mainly by the dusty incense which enveloped
the travellers to the scene of the regatta. But
the great throng was at last comfortably dis
persed along the shady banks of the lake.
The scene on the lake previous to the race
was quite inspiriting. Beside the contesting
clubs in uniform, in their long and rakish
boats, the water was speckled with pleasure
craft of all kinds, in which the ladies FREEDOM
mated the gay colors of their feminine dress
and themselves, shedding peculiar glory on
many an old and neglected tub. The Nation
al Band on the Worcester side, and the
Shrewsbury Band on the Shrewsbury bank,
gave plenty of music while the course was
cleared, and expectation was on tip-toe when
the first gun was fired from the judges boat,
at halfpast two, for the wineries to come into
line.

three of them were arrested. These disorderly

OBTAINING GOODS UNDER FALSE PRE-
ENcEs.-Sometime in August, 1858, John P.
Wheeler, now of St. Louis, Mo-, then mailing
from Kansas City, Mo, made an application to
Messrs. Ball & Williams, builders of machine
ry, in this city, Tor two thousand dollars
worth of machinery, to take to Sumner, In
Kansas territory, for the purpose of making
wagons for the government. He said he had
just completed a contract with the government
to finish twelve hundred wagons by the first
of the following May, when he should be IN a
condition TO raise the cash, and he wished
Messrs. Ball & Williams to accept of two notes
of $1,000 each, to mature in nine months, in
payment for this machinery. Mr.. Wheeler
represented himself as having considerable
property in Sumner, X. T., which made HIM
abundantly able to pay, independent OF other
resources. Messrs B. & W., however, wish
ed for some other name besides his own to the
notes before they would consent to accept OF
them, whereupon Mr.. Wheeler stated that he
had business connections with Messrs. IL. T.
M. w. Wood, wheelwrights ut Groton juno
ton, whom he represented to be men of ample
means, and offered to furnish their names, con-
Jointly with his own, as signers to the notes
This offer was accepted, and the notes were
made and signed, accordingly, by the Messrs
Wood as co-parners, and by Mr.. Wheeler in
dividually.
In the course of time, Messrs. Ball and Will
liams found out that Mr.. Wheeler owned no
property in Kansas, and that his pretended
contract with the government was all sham,
none such existing. Worse than this, it turn
ed out that the other signers to the notes had
no means to pay them, as represented. So, a
complaint was entered in the Police Court
against Wheeler for obtaining goods under
false pretenses, and he was arraigned on
Tuesday, and pleaded noio contendeye, and was
bound over in the sum of $4,000 for that
offence, before the next criminal term of the
superior court in August The defendant is
a native Of Hopkinton, in this state, from
whence he emigrated to Kansas few years
since.

Editorial Convention of the University
Quarterly.

Editorial Convention of the University
Quarterly.
The first general convention of editors of
this new college quarterly was holden this
morning at Franklin Hail. 263 Main street.
Representatives were present from the editori-
al boards in the principal colleges of the land,
representing more than two thousand under
graduates. The definite object OF such an edi-
torial gathering was TO adopt general rules and
regulations respecting the management Of the
magazine. AT present, the work of compiling
and issuing the magazine falls entirely upon
the central board at Yale, but il is expected
that the association will soon be able to salary
a general secretary Or compiling editor, who
will relieve the board at Yale of any more re-
sponsibility or labor than falls to the other
boards. The convention was called in the
hope of uniting the aims of colleges, and per-
fecting the machinery of the work. Mr.. j.
r. bennett of Harvard was chosen chairman,
and f. j. Cook of Yale, secretary.
The editors of the several colleges reported
in behalf of their several institutions and a
full discussion of the plan of management, and
the prospects OF the work, followed. All ac-
counts seem to justify the association in en-
tertaining the most sanguine hope of success
and usefulness through the quarterly. A sub
scription list has already been obtained of near
ly nine hundred, which offers an increase equal
to the present expenses. 1t is proposed to en-.
large and improve the department of Foreign
Intelligence during the coming year, and in
all respects to continually elevate the tone and
merit Of the work. 1t is believed that it will
soon become indispensable to all the reading
public as the only work which gives full and
reliable picture Of the life and spirit of the
college world.
