FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY.-The Hydraulic
Press gives the following particulars of a
shooting affray which occurred last Friday
at the Grizzly Fort House. eight miles from
North San Juan, on the Forest City road:
Mr. John Meredith was occupying the
Grizzly Fort House. which belongs TO Mr..
Simmons, aud was about TO vacate it, taking
with him certain furniture claimed by Sim
MONS An angry dispute arose between the
parties on this hand. Simmons employed a
man by the name of German to assist him
in preventing the furniture from being
carried Off John Meredith was backed by
his brother David and third person, not
known. All the parties were armed. Soon
after the commencement, Simmons, think
ing discretion the better part Of valor," !"
retired, leaving German TO bear the brunt
of the quarrel, which be did bravely, but
rashly, discharging the first pistol shot. This
drew upon him The fire Of his adversaries.
John Meredith's bullet entered his left
breast, producing mortal wound, from
which German died at eight o'clock thesam
evening. The ball from David's pistol
grazed his forehead. without doing any par
ticular injury. Subsequently j. Meredith
went TO DOwnieville aud delivered himself
into the hands of the authorities. Previous
to his death, German acquitted the Mere
ditbs of blame, and regretted the part be
had been induced TO take in the ARRAY
Deceased was about forty years of age, and
from Providence. Rhode Island.

The EASTERN BOUNDARY SURvEY.-The
Visala Delta Gays that the surveying party
sent out by Lieut.. Mowry, U. S. Ccmmis-
sioner, arrived in Visalia on the 7th inst,
having examined the country for about two
hundred miles along the line,
They passed through very desolate,
rough and sterile region. After leaving the
Colorado, they proceeded in Northwest
erly direction, towards Lake Bigler. The
line runs west of the Las Vegas Mountains,
and through Ash plain about 20 miles above.
Westward from this plain is the sink of the
AmargOsa. stream that rises in the upper
part of Ash Plain, and running southwark
sweeps around TO the Northward again, and
after course of 200 miles or upwards, sinks
into an extensive marsh Of salt aud alkali
within Is miles Of its source. This
marsh is in a valley Of great length, run
ming nearly north and south. One of its
remarkable features is its great depression
being not less than 400 feet below The
level of the sea, as indicated by Baromeiri-
cal measurement AT about the level of
the sea. small stream of fresh water runs
out. This remarkable plain has been very
appropriately named Death Valley.
The entire region they trayersed is near

quently met with, but the nature Of the sur
rounding country. the difficulties attending
the transportation of freight and the gene
raj uninviting aspect Of the region, would
be sufficient to deter any class of people,
except Caliornians from attempting TO work
mines or even prospect for them. Parties
have, however gone down to the Colorado.

The NEz PERcEs MNEs,-The Oregon
Statesman Of April sth says Of these mines
The spasmodic and sometimes ll.natured
efforts made TO support these mines, are
pretty conclusive evidence that they are a
hoax. We only regret that so many have
been led OFF by the seductive clamor, who
could i'll afford the expense and loss Of time.
We have made considerable inquiry, aud
read what has been published respecting
these mines. The most direct and positive
proof yet brought to light is that citizen
Of this county, a gentleman Of the most un-
impeachable character for veracity, left here
for the placer in question. He at length
reached mountain said TO be clad with
snow, and impossible at that season. The
general impression among other prospect
Ors was. that twenty-five miles further on
there were probably diggngs that would
pay three cents to the pan per day

CURLED LEAF.-A correspondent of the
Placervlle Democrat says the curled leaf is
caused by the plant louse. and Downing's
treatment he finds the best to be pursued.
All peach trees should be washed with
weak ley, or strong soap and water. This
kills the eggs Of the plant lice. When curled
leaves are about ready TO fall, any careful
observer can find them snugly ensconced in
their shriveled house-a little black insect
somewhat resembling the sugar ant, with a
small head and large body. They remain
on the trees, lay their eggs under the rough
scaly bark, and die.

By the following letter written by Gov.
Houston to the Texas Convention, it will be
seen that he is not so easily made tool of
as the seceders had imagined:
EXECUTIVE DRPARTgEgT.
AUSTIN, Texas March 6, 1861.
W. P. RoGERs AND OTHERS, COMMITTEE;
Gentlemen: In reply TO your communities
ton of the 5th, can say, when the Legisla-
ture authorized the Convention 70 submit the
proposition to the people Of Texas, on the
subject Of secession from the Federal Govern
raenl Of the United States, itiwas understood
that the performance of that act when done,
would terminate the doings the Convention.
The Executive approved the same, with a
protest against the shortness of the time
allowed, ewing to the great limits Of our
State By subsequent act OF the Legisla-
ture it was required that the returns OF the
votes should be made at the Office Of the
Secretary of State, and counted in the
presence Of the Governor and Attorney
General. The votes we're counted and the
result declared, by proclamation, that n
majority Of the votes cast wss for secession.
By an act of the Legislsture, the Couyen-
ton was empowered only to submit the ques-
ton of seeesson 10 the vote of the people
The Convention performed the fu- ctions as
signed it By the Legislature, and in the opin-
ion Of the Executive. its powers were then
exhausted. The Executive VIII recommend
to the Legislature, which is to re-assemble
On the 18th inst, 10 take into consideration
the important issues arising ou, of the sever
ance Of our connection with the United
States, with such recommendations and sug-
gestions as be may think proper in the dis
charge of this duty. It viii then be within
the province OF the Legislature TO take such
action as they may think proper and also,
TO call Convention, directly from the people,
who will fairly represent their wishes and
opinions, and who will have authority to
make such changes in the constitution OF the
State as her present and future relations to
the world at large may require.
Until then, it will be the duty Of the Ex-
ecutiEe, as well as all the State ofhc'r rs, TO
continue in the lawful discharge Of their
functions, con6ning their action to the
sphere OF Texas only.
| The Executive tenders his respects to the
gentlemen of the Convention, and assures
YOU gentlemen, Individually, Of his esteem.
Very truly your obedient servant.
SAN Houston.

A NEW INfENTtoS.-A new thing made its
appearances upon the streets yesterday. It
was e system Of attaching horses to buggies
which does away with traces and whfietrees,
and by which horse can be attached or de-
tached from a wagon in three seconds, rem
dering it invaluable in case of accident. The
harness upon which the invention is placed
costs less than the ordinary kind, and there
is no danger from broken whifietrees or
loose traces. It is one of the simFlest con-
trivances in the world, and yet apparently
one Of tho most effentual. It was patented
by Avery, of Connecticut, and has just been
brought to Ohio. We cannot readily de-
scribe it, and only speak of it as matter oi
curiosity.

AHEHIoAN BEE JoURNAL.-We have receiv-
oil numbers one, two, and three Of the
''Ameriean Bee Journal" published month";
ly byA. N. spaDgler & Co., PHILADELPHIA,
Penn. The work is devoted to the interests
Of the bee-keeper, and contains Interesting
articles by persons Of experience embOdy-
ing much useful Information upon this
subject, which seems to be exciting a general
aud unusual attention at the present time
There is little doubt that few occupations
which can be carried on with as little e4-
Pense of time and money are so profitable as
that of bee culture, and anything that tends
to encourage and to aid in ils development
should be well sustained.

HoMEs FOR THE ISpUsTRIoUs.-W We call

ire farming lands IN the whole west
which they propose to dispose Of in. small
tracts and upon long credit. favorable
opportunity is thus offered 10 enterPTising
persons with but small capital at their COM
mand to secure comfortable homestead and
the prospect of fortune in the future. The
State of Illinois is rapidly increasing in pop
ulation and Aourishing towns will constant
ly spring up along the line Of the Central
road 50 that farms which now can be'ohtain-
ed at the cost of few hundred dollars, may
with great probability be worth as many

THAT GHOST AsAIE.-The ghost which was

nights since appeared upon Seneca street,

from q visit. This style Of practical joking
has gone too far and must be stopped. Some
nervous person may yet be so frightened by
the reckless person who persOnates a ghost,
as to cause serious injury and perhaps death
Any man, young or old, who will indulge
in such performances, is a public nuisance.
