A TGcKL1sH SITUATION Thirty Hours aoih a
Skunk in a Mining Shdtf--The Calaveras (Cal)
Chronicle relates the following story:
While G. Atzel was a prospecting tour last
week, in the neighborhood of Garland's ranch, on
cold Womans Guleh,n he observed tunnel, and
approaching it he heard noise of miners work,
ing Within and proceeded to pay them a visit.
When he had ventured through the dense dark
ness hundred and fifty feet, all at his feet
gave way, and he was precipitated to the bottom
of shaft thirtyfve feet deep, breaking two of his
ribs and otherwise ipiuring him. On recovering
his senses, he found he had companion; a large
California skunk had met with like misfortune,
| apparently some ten days before. His skunkship
had become desperate, through hunger. thirst and
confinement, and attacked him with all the ferocity
of tiger, bit him severely on the face and hands,
he being too feeble to protect himself. In this
condition he remained some thirty hours, when
luckily two miners passed that way, heard his
faint cries and rescued him from his perous situa-
ton, made douby from the fact that this tunnel
is situated in very lonely, obscure place, no one
scarcely ever passing except Mr.. Garland, 10 the
spring time, viewing his fence. Mr.. Atzel said he
thought his case hopeless one at first, bat after
praying two hours he took courage and commenced
halooing and fighting the skunk, which he kept up
to the moment of his rescue.

We are indebted to Wilbur i Borge's Express,

escaped. A request to arrest him was sent.

RATHER Understandable following hit at
the " oil fever" is from the New York Vanity Fair:
A man from Cleveland, who had been looking
for spot to sink we'll in, returned to the hotel
after a days search, and was asked what luck?
He replied that he found one first-rate spot, but
the landhoder held it rather high. He wants all
the oil, two hundred dollars bOnus and requires
that shall paint both heads of the barrels. I told
him I'd paint one head, but that I'd see him hanged
before I'd agree to paint both. So the parties
could not agree, and the territory man still holds
on to the site.

INDIAN Observation-Disclosures Shultz shot an

succeeded only on Thursday week, while Shultz

NOT A FALSE ALARM.

We yesterday reported, through erroneous infor-
nation, that the fire alarm of Sunday evening was
false. 1t was true alarm, having its origin in a
blaze which started unaccountaby IN the stable Of
the late Mr.. Sewell I. Taylor, at the corner Of
Nayades and Jackson streets. The flames were
extinguished before much damage was done.

DOlNGS OF THE KNIFE.

DONGS OF THE NNlFE.
DANGEROUSLY WoUSDEp.- James G. Brennan
the keeper of small animal show on Tchoupitou-
las street, between Lafayette and Grod, was dan.
gerously stabbed in front of his show by one Pat
rick QuiAlan, aided by Matthew McHugh as an
accessory. The two were arrested'b by officers Ryan
and Armor. How the difficulty began we did not
hear. Officer Ryan says he the difficulty from
across the street; saw Brennan pushing the two
accused away from his door; and, as he ran over,
heard McHugh say, "Cut the son of b-hn and
saw Quinlan draw knife and cut him. This was
all he knew about it. Brennan, believed to be
dangerously stabbed, was carried away to receive
medical attendance.
FATAL AFFEAY.-Last evening, in an Irish labor
ers boarding house OH Delord street, near Leeds
Foundry two steamboat hands, named John Ho-
loran and Patrick Kennedy, had affray, in which
the latter was stabbed and instantly killed by the
former. Mr.. Lockrey, the keeper of the boarding
house, arrested Hooran and took him to the lock-
up, and was then, (very harshly and improperly,
as we think) himself locked up witness. Three
or four Of the other boarders were also locked up
as witnesses. Lockrey says that Hooran was in
the kitchen chipping meat off the head-bone of a
hog with carving-knife, by way of an afternoon
snack, when Kennedy got into fuss with him and
slapped MIN once or twice, upon winch Hooran
plunged the carving-knife into the lower part of
his right side.
One of the boarders ran for a doctor, but Ken
nedy died in two or three minutes, without saying
a word Holloran ran out at the back door, but
he Uockrey) watched at the gate till he came out,
when he arrested him. Holloran admits the stab
bing freely, but says he did not the knife until
after Kennedy had struck him and forcibly taken a
| hundred dollars out of his pocket He says Ken
nedy assaulted him because he refused to treat tc
| liquor. Lockrey, on the contrary, declares thai
he knows very we'll that Holoran hadn't five cents
to his name. The Coroner was notified, and the
| inquest will take place to-day.

The business announced by the Presidents

of the forts, places, and property of the Govern
ment. These will undoubtedly be taken in their
order, and by the most convenient and effective
means. The first place will probably be Har
pcr's Ferry. This is a commanding point on the
line Of communications between Washington and
the North; and it will secure communications
with Western Virginia, and enable the loval men

machinery of the Harper's Ferry Armory as was
saved, to Richmond, therefore, it will be neces-
sary to follow this property there in order to
take it. The arms have also gone in the same
direction.
The next place to be r,taken is the Gosport
Navy Yard. The most practicable route to that
is via Richmond and Petersburg, thence by James

from Northern men.

DlocxRdes and Treaties.

Some feeling has been caused BIZ dispatch
from the Washington reporter for the Associated
Press respecting the compatibility of a blockade
of the Southern ports with some of our treaties
with foreign powers. The whole matter is sim
pie enough. Some of our treaties provide that
in case we are at war with a foreign power, and
decide upon blockading their ports, we give q
certain number of days notice to the other party
to the treaty. But this has nothing to do With
cur domestic affairs.
Our Government can blockade the ports Of
rebellious State with just no more notice 20 for
eign powers than it would give if it were to de-
clare rebellious city snder martial Law.
Governments right to self-protecton IS para
mount to everything else The only possible dit
ficulty would be that some foreign power with
which we have such treaty might choose 70 re-
gard the Southern Confederacy "a DR. teefo "o'
