How McDoUGALL WAS ELEcTEp.5- w.
Denver (unintentionally on his part) is en-
titled to the credit of electing McDougall
1t was him and his friends who got up the
caucus of the day previous, in the expecta-
ton that it would result in his nomination
Had he been nominated the chances are that
he would have been elected but the chiralry
portion of the Breckenridge Democracy
thought they could elect Nugent, and that by
so doing they could hereafter secure the sup
port of the Irish element, and thus perpet-
uate the rule of their clique. For fear that
Nugent might be elected if the struggle was
prolonged, many who had persistently oppo-
sed McDougall went over to him as the least
of evils. Had not the Denver Nugent- Breck-
enridge caucus been held, McDougall would
moi nave been clccted.-"S. F. CALI

HoN. r. I. MILLER.-We regret to learn
that our esteemed friend, ex-Judge Miller, of
Trinity county, came very near losing his
life, on Monday last, by the discharge of a
pistol in his own hands. Luckily the ball
glanced from his breast, thus occasioning
only very severe bruisc. May he soon re-
cover his wonted health and cheerfulness, to
again delight his friends with the peculiar
sudriter IN modo which has won for him 50
great popularity. Weaverville could lily
afford to lose from among her choice spirits
their most delightful Jonrirant.

EXTRAORDINARY HAIL.-On Sunday last
a hail storm of an extraordinary character,
passed over portions of the county on the

about one hour, during which time the hail
fell, in some places, to the depth of four
inches, much of it remaining on the ground
the following day. The chances are, of
of course, that nearly all kinds of fruit buds
and young fruit were destroyed.

it is simply putrid sore throat, probably, in

has proved ef6cacious:
When the symptoms are first discovered,
take Spanish flies, pound and mix with Vens
ice turpentine, spread it on piece of soft
cloth and bind it over the throat, which will
raise blister, and soon remove the disease
