A GHOST SToRY.-We have heard the facts
related below, narrated in the streets for eight
ten days past, but regarded them merely as joke
gotten up at the expense of the gentleman who
sustains the character of hero to the story. 1t
appears, however, that he stakes his veracity upon
the truth of what he states, and we have deter
mined to give him the benefit of public hearing.
Mr.. Robert Noble resides at Shady Creek. On
two different occasions he had been to Cherokee,
where he remained till late hour of the night.
When returning home, on foot, he deserted
white object standing in the road. As he APP
preached, he made it out to be female. She
retreated, or rather foated away from him, in the
direction of picket-fence. He addressed the
lady, asking her who she was, and what she was
doing there but received no answer. This puz-
zled him, and aroused somewhat his superstitious
fears. He continued to follow, and got so near
to the ghost as to distinguish that she had rings
on her fingers, and was appareled in what he
supposed to be satin gown. Whilst pausing
for an instant to consider whether he should not
seize hold upon the apparition, and discover it
be some person who was endeavoring to impose
upon him trick, she placed her hand upon one
OF the pickets, and without any visible effort,
cleared the fence and dissolved into thin air
On two separate and distinct evenings, at the
same spot, and about the same hour, Mr. Noble.

much respected, AYERS the same ghostly scene

whether there are any fair sleep-walkers in that

HALF DIaE BEER.-The aristocratic brew
ers OF San Francisco lately held sort of in
dignation meeting, at which they solemly
resolved not to patronize or countenance
those ale-houses and grogshops where malt
liquors are sold for half-dtse per glass;
It would seem, from this, that they really
have such institutions, as pcayune or half
dime drinking houses, in the commercial
metropolis. Heaven help the miserable
drinkers! What awful thorough fares their
abdominal viscera must be for strychnine,
acetate of lead, arsenic, and other villainous
apothecary staff, with which the mannfac-
turers of cheap liquors poison the body poll
tic. Up here, in North Sap Juan, the lovers
OF lager beer, who conline their custom t.
friend Koch, have the happiness of slipping
their favorte beverage, without any misgiv-
ings that its exquisite flavor is owing to any
thing detrimental to its wholesomeness
Who, with soul under his waistcoat, would
dream of paying less than dime for glass
of Koch's lager?

NEARLY A STREET FIGHT.-We understand
that couple of enraged Cyprians, who had suf-
fered mutual wrongs from their respective lovers,
entered into an agreement the other day, to arm
themselves with pistol and bowie-knives, and
fghttheir quarrel out on the public street. They
had gone so far as to make all the necessary
preparations for the encounter, when some Of
their male friends got wind of the matter and by
timely interference, persuaded them to forego
their bloodthirsty design.

SPARE THE QUAILs.-We saw man the other
day with gun on his shoulder and dead quail
in his hand. There was violation of the game
law-no doubt of it-besides the evidence of
very wanton and cruel act having been commit
ted. This is the midst of brood season. The
young quails are not yet half grown; and to kill
the mother at such time, is almost certain to
result in the death of the largest portion of the
covey. There are great many quails among
the hills of this neighborhood; but let sportsmen
bide their time. The first of October will be
quite soon enough to proceed against them.

ATTEMPT At SLUIcE RoBBING.-On Thursday
at noon, James Boothman had occasion to 60
down the sluice of the Eureka Company, and
saw man in the act of picking the amalgam
from the boxes. When made aware that he was
discovered, the robber ran away. Boothman pur-
sued him; but the rascal having pistol, drew it
and made threatening demonstration. Booth
man being entirely unarmed, dared not approach,
but followed after the robber, as far as the Yuba
river, in the hope of meeting some one who wod
assist him in effecting an arrest. As no one ap-
preached he was reluctantly compelled to give up

REPUBLICAN MEETING.-A meeting of Re-
publicans was held at the Theater in this place
on Saturday evening last, which was addressed
by A. A. Sargent, Esq, and James Churchman,
Esq. of Nevada. The former gave a rapid but
fluent and highly interesting history of the pro-
ceedings of the Republican National Conven-
ton, to which he had been a delegate, and was
frequently applauded. The latter was caustic and
bitter against certain class of his political OPP
ponents. His speech was ingenious, and at
times witty, bat we think little too st,ouq to be
convincing or effective.
Previous to the delivery of these speeches, a
Lincoln Club was formed, by the election of l.
Crawford, as President, Alex. J. Elder, and Geo.
McHardy, as Vice Presidents; and r. H. Far
quhar, Secretary. One hundred and two names
were enrolled as members of the Club.

There are now $1,000 on hand to be divided be-
tween six partners. The division will take place
to-day. This company is entirely out of debt,
and is getting down rapidly towards the bed rock,
