hine the former in the abdomen, inhicting dan
gerous wound. Castania was examined before JUS
tics Marriott and held to bail in the sum of 81 Geo.
On . charge Of assault with intent to commit muir
der. The bail was fixed at larger amount than he
70 jail until the result Of Monier's wound was
known. The wounded man continued to improve
uhtil the FIRST Of last week. when he considered
out Of danger, and the Justice reduced Castania's
bond to 81 200. Soon after the order made re-
dncing the bail, MOnier got worse, and fears were
again entertained that the wound prove fatal. Cas-
tania, however, gave the bond and returned to Hum
bug on Friday last, and was stabbed by Moniers
wife soon after his arrival It appears the woman
had heard Of Castanias arrival and taking kitch-
en-knifs went up behind him and stabbed him in
the back, the knife penetrating the cavity Of the
lung. The wound was NOT regarded as dangerous.
At last accounts Monier was improving, and he is
now considered out of danger. The woman wasnOt

RoBBsRx-tOvsR THE LRFT.) -on Thursday
afternoon, James Minot who drives team for the
Central Market came into town on one Of the mules
ofhs team, with his body pretty badly bruised, his
clothing torn, and exhibiting the appearance of hav
ing been dragged in the dust. He reported that
while coming up hill near Taylor's MILL he
was attacked by feur men, in masks, who knocked
him off the wagon, pounded him until they suppos-
ed he was dead, and one of them shot at him, the
bullet grazing his arm. He managed, while the
pounding and shooting was going on to unharness
one Of the mules, which he mounted and rode into
town. His story was 80 improbable that few believed
him. The proprietor of the market, however, ac-
companied by Constable Asher and one or two 9TH
ers went to the locality of the terrible encounter,
and found the other mule and wagon. 1t appears
that the mules had run away, and got loose from
the wagon. Minot had probably got asleep and fell
off the wagon, and holding to the lines had been
dragged some distance on the ground. So much
raseality is going in this section that the public
are prepared to believe almost anything in the rob-
bling line. Bat this fellows story was so extraya-
giant that few believed him.
RR-ARREsrED.-The man Nichols, who it will
be remembered killed negro, some months since,
at the house Of Prcilla, in Grass Valley, and who
was examined and discharged for want Of evidence,
has again been arrested, and will be examined on
the same charge. After his discharge it appears
that new evidence was found, and he was searched
for in vain. The officers Of this county lately learn
ed that he was at Poverty Bar, in Sierra county,
and the fact was telegraphed to the officers of Sierra
who arrested him and brought him down on Thurs
day last He was taken to Grass Valley on Satur-
day to have another examination, but the case was
postponed on account Of the absence Of material
witness. The examination was to have been held
yesterday, before Justice Richardson, but We have
not heard the result.
CANADA HILL MILL.-We learn that Mr.. But
terhsld, the owner of the Canada Hill quartz mill

was erected by Col Raymond in 1852, when the
lead was opened and has been worked off and on
ever since. The property has changed hands sevs-
raj times and the business on the whole has been
srnproftable, but II is believed that it can be
made to pay by judicious management.
