GLOOMY PICTURE OF TUoLUMNE.-T The So
nora Age gives the following unfavorable con-
dition of affairs in that county, consequent
upon the destruction of water bitches
Many of our towns are calculated to re-
mind one forcibly of Godsmith's Deserted
Village the streets are without life, save the
occasional appearance of some lean, hungry
hog or yelling cur. AT times some disconso-
late store or saloon keeper drags his weary
length to the door of his place of business,
looking wistfully to all points of the compass
for that boon which seldom comes-a custom
er then, with yawn, a grow, and a curse,
he drags himself back again to some dark
nook and cogitates. A fearful silence reigns
over gulch, creek and canon; the music of
falling waters, the sharp click of pick and
shovel, and the sound of moving rock and
gravel is heard no more. flushed are the vol
ces of the miners; they have retired to their
cabins, from which they seldom emerge, but
sit with chins resting on cenched hands, seek
ing solace from short pipes and rumination.

BOLD ROBBERY NEAR PLACERvILLE.-T The
Sacramento Union says: As Thomas ]. Smith
was coming from Carson to Placerville, he was
met by three men within one and quarter
miles of the latter place, about six o'clock on
Sunday evening, December 10th, it being at
the time very dark, rainy and muddy. Smiths
horse was seized before he knew that any one
was near him. Just as they caught his horse
there was one shot fired. At the same time
one of the robbers remarked: Don't shoot
him any more, Dan," or something to that eff
feet. Smith was at once invited to dismount,
which he at first refused to do, but seeing re-
sStance useless, dismounted He was asked
for his money In making the search one of
the robbers caught hold of the holsters on the
horn of the saddle, and remarked: Here is
his money" which they took. They then
asked him for his watch, which had been sent
to Sacramento few days previous to his de-
parture from Carson for repairs. At every
word Smith would utter, he received light
tap on the head with a pistol, and was request
ed to keep silcnt He was disarmed at the
first, and struck with his own pistol Smith
at once proceeded to house distant only a
few hundred yards, but the men within re-
fused to go with him. He went on to Placer
vile and got Sheriff Burwel and posse to go
after the thieves, but nothing has yet been
discovered, although Smith seems very conf
dent that he knows all the robbers. The
amount of the money stolen was $3.50.

CoLD BLooDED INDIAN MURDER We have
received information, says the San Joaquin
Republican, that on the night of Wednesday.
December 18th, party of Indians came from
La Grange down to the Tuolumne river, two
miles below Dickinsons, and deliberately cut
the throat of an Indian, who was at least one
hundred years of age. Whether they had
some superstitious ideas about one of their
race living too long, or whether they had some
particular cause of quarrel with the old abo-
riginee, we are not informed The scene of
the murder is on the Tuoumne river.
