It will be observed that rheumatism is the
most common complaint. This is supposed to
be occasioned by exposure, working in water
and wearing rubber clothing. The total cost
of taking care Of the INDECENT sick for the quar-
ter was $780, besides $50 expense of bury
ing deceased persons. The County Supervisors
visited the hospital yesterday, examined the
patients, and found everything in good condi-
tion.

ofthe parties engaged in the riot at Grass Val
ley, in July 1858, which resulted in the death
of McMurtry. Five of the parties were con-
victed, but only two now remain in prison,
McGee and Griffith. The latter was regarded
as the leader Of the crowd, more to blame than
any of the Others, and probably no effort will
be made to procure his pardon; but there is no
reason that McGee should not receive the same
clemency that has been extended to the others
who have already been pardoned.
SHooTING.-Late last Saturday evening,
Pat Kalahor shot at John Murray, with pis-
tol, in Mulloys saloon, on Pine street. The
difficulty was occasioned by Murray having
