CENSUS STATIsTIcs.-The census Of the whole
northern and southwestern portion of the county
is completed. Mr.. Nunnally is now employed in
taking the lower part of tie county, and will
finish with Weavcrville township. A hasty
glance at bis list on Monday shows that 2sOO
namcs are already enrolled, judging from which,
The presumption is that the population of the
county will not go much over 5000. Among tie
hitting localities of the county, Cation Creek
takes the lead the census roll showing the pop
nialinn TO he 307. Of whicE l34 are Cinnamon
Mr.. n. thinks there are between 1900 and 2000
thinese IN fhe county. Turner's. Evans and
kcd Bars, are reported as the most prosperous
mhlhG dis trcts, some OF the companies having
taken out over $4,000 within the year past
!he heaviest mining yet seen is on Canon Creek,
above anon City. Two or three of the claims
are all eady over one thousand feet in the hill,
and some places two hundred and fifty from
the nIfacc. Fisher * Co.'S flame, on that creek,
is ronounced the best in the county.
MuRDERED.-Mr. Block telegraph operator,
gives Us information Of probable murder at the
Sco,t's Mountain House, on Tuesday night The
murdered man, who for some time had been in
The employ of j. f. Carr, contractor for finishing
the road over Scott's mountain and whose name
we have not learned, was found in q dying con-
dtion in the bar-room of the Mountain House,
Ivy the northward bound passengers Wednes-
dag morning. Two drunken men--the prOprie-
Cor Of the house aud a Frenchman, were asleep
IN the same room. The man was shot through

10 bavc been the perpetrator of the deed.
VALUABLE CIAM.-Mr. G. B. Salisbury, late
one of the pr0prietors of the Victory claim on

morning for his home Starksboro, Vermont Mr..
II, J. Holmes, Of the above place, as enterprisng
and clever fellow as lives in Trinity county,
bought Sa!sbury's one. half interest for 81, 600.
Judging from the former yield OF the claim, we
consider $4,000 triling price, and cannot but
rclOlGe that onr friend Holmes has become one
half owner of it. Nearly $4,000 was taken
from the claim last Wuter--the result Of Fix
weeks washing.

the people Of Eureka had the advantage of us in
looking at the late solar eclipse only a small
part Of the suu's disc was obsoured here, while
at that place il was entirely obscurod during the
whole day and the one following. We rather
suspect that an eclipse of the sun may be seen
there any day.
JCsr AS EAsY.-Edtor Bolts, of the ,Stdadard
says he can tell how the election will go if it

furnish such desirable information.
