BADLY HURr.-We learn from yesterday IS
" Transcript" that William Muldoon, late OF
this town, got into difficulty, on Wednes-
day night, at Nevada, with Henry W. Plum
mer. The quarrel ended in fight, in the
course of which Muldoon received a blow
on the head, inflicted with pistol, which
fractured his skull. He was taken to the
Bailey House, where he lies in a critical con-
dition. The journal" says the quarrel was
about woman of i'll fame and that Plum
mer has not been arrested.

ELoPEMENT ExTRAoRDINARY.-Iti is report
ed that two recently married men of our place
eloped from their wives a short time since, and
have gone to parts unknown, thus fulfilling that
trite saying, "the course of true love never did
run smooth" The last we heard of the wives,
they were on the way to San Francisco, appa-
rently we'll satisfied with their condition.

JUSTICES COURT.
R. H. FARQuHAR. ESQ.

H. n. FARQUHAR, ESQ.,, y. L.
The People rs. John Pollard. Charged with
assault and battery upon Chinaman. This
cause came on for trial on Monday of last week
and resulted in verdict of guilty. A new trial
was granted and the case again tried on the
Thursday following, the jury failing to agree,
eleven being for finding verdict of guilty and
one opposed. The case was again tried on Mon
day last, and verdict of guilty rendered.
This cause excited great deal of feeling
among our people, and much interest was mani
tested at the trial. John, Jack, as he is called
is an old offender against the laws, and hence a
powerful effort was made to convict him. Joseph
Kutts, ESQ.,, conducted the case for the defend
ant, and most ably discharged his duty to his
client.
The defendaet was held for sentence on Tues
day morning at o'clock, at which time fine
of $500 was imposed, or 100 days Imprisonment
in the county Jail.

SLUICE RoBBING.-We have heard rumor
that short time since attempt was made to
rob McKeeby & Co.'s sluices at Sebastopol, and
that the parties were detected by the watchman,
but owing to some .famr pas of his the robbers
escaped. We give the report for what it is worth,
with the injunction to all persons engaged in
mining, to keep good watch over sluices. There
are robbers about, who will lose no opportunity
of helping themselves to what don't belong to
them.

A New IMrRovEMENr.--Lows coupling for
iron pipe, or fange, is new and valuable i'm
provement the old style of fange, and far
superior to anything of the kind ever yet used by
our miners. It is nearly on the same principle
as Frank Smiths hose coupling, requiring only
half turn to fasten the joints. This improve
ment must of necessity take well with the miners,
and supercede all others now in use.

THE CoNcERT.-On Thursday evening there
was an episode in the recent prevailing monot-
ony of our orderly village. We had vocal and
were professionals and amateurs, constituting
quite numerous club. Sam. Samelson, with
his violin Auguste Wettig with his piano; and
L. w. Curtis, with the horn; were the instru-
mental feature. Their selections were principally
from the operas-popular gems-such as seldom
fail to elicit applause from American audiences,
when the execution is artistic, it was in this
case, to an eminent and most delightful degree.
The gentlemen named acquitted themselves to
admiration. The applause bestowed was a con-
vincing evidence of this fact. The club, proper,
contains many fine voices; but the effect pro-
duced by their united efforts was not entirely sat
isfactory. 1t was reserved for the solos, duets
and trios to receive the greatest amount of ap-
probation. If it is proper to indulge ones feel
ings in such case, when all the emotions have
been aroused, we would say that DR.. Crossett,
as vocalist, surpasses. We profess to have heard
fine singing in our life, but nerer anything which
excelled "The Gamblers Wife," 1t was worth
five dollars, any time, to man of feeling, to
hear it. We were so much delighted with this
song, that we could have encored it dozen times,
and still have been lost in admiration. The au-
dience were equally appreciative-they did en-
core it. Now having said this much of one per-
former, we do not, by any means, intend to dis
parage the others. Mr.. Chandler was favorite.
He received two encores. His voice is flexible,
silver-toned and remarkably beautiful. 1t is
adapted to the sentimental, and the sentimental
alone. A protracted effort, however, exhausts it.
He should be careful of overtaxing its powers.
We ought to have said more, or not have said as
much. We should compliment Mr.. Wiel, who
deserves to be complimented, although he was
compelled to sing with baby accompaniment; ;
but we will defer the wish to some other time !;
concluding with an earnest expression of
the hope that this concert may be repeated. 1t
so excellent throughout-gave such univer-
sal pleasure-that every one who attended it will
join the request for repetition. The harmony
of the occasion was not at all enhanced by the
audience beating time with their feet.
