REDUCTION OF PRICES.

RopBERY.-At about three o'clock, yester-
day morning, thief entered the residence of
Lee MCGOWAN, Esq, on d street, near the
Court House, and took away with him two
silver goblets, a breast pin of considerable
value, and various other pieces Of jewelry,
amounting in the aggre egate to upwards of a
hundred dollars
He would have taken more, but was dis
covered by Mrs. McGowan, in time TO pre-
vent. Mrs, McGowan was sleeping in one
chamber, with one of her children, and her
husband was sleeping in another chamber
with another. The thief opened Mrs. Nc
Gowan's chamber, the door of which creaked
She awoke and saw the fellow standing be-
fore her with a candle in his hand. She ex-
claimed, in great trepidation, "What do you
want here? ?" She seized her husbands pistol
which lay under the pillow and fastened to
him with it, she having already cooked it.
He darted out after the thief, but the scoun-
drel had taken sudden leave of the premises
From the fact that the dogs in the Jail
yards, near which the thief passed, for he
stole a coat hanging there, barked but little
and were soon quieted, it would seem likely
that the fellow had been prisoner in the Jail
at some time or other, and thus became ac
quainted wieh the dogs, which are fierce an
which will allow no one to approRoh, withou
great outcry.

Coon PRosPEcTs FOR THE MINERS. Those
who appear to be posted in regard to water
bitches and mining in this part of the world
says the Mountain Messenger, those who have
had several years experience in these parts.
say that next season bids fair to be one of
great promise for an abundance of water for
mining. One of the greatest difficulties in
the way of early mining here, with which our
miners and ditchmen have to contend, is the
trouble of getting water through the bitches
in the spring. Generally the early falls of
snow come after the water has failed in the
bitches, the snow accumulates in the fumes
and in the dug channels upon the hill sides,
forms into ice, and several weeks are lost ev-
cry spring before the miners can obtain water
with which TO work their diggings. This fall
there was an abundance of water in the ditch
es when snow came, and the impedments
which generally accumulate in the fumes
were carried away, and kind of snowy arch
or protection was formed over the bitches
which will remain till fine weather arrives
next spring. The rain storm which occurred
about two weeks ago, moistened the ground
and placed it in a good condition for recev-
ing snow and retaining its moisture in the
spring.

How THEY GOT oUT.-Hon. John Daugher-
ty, of Sierra, passed through this city, few
days ago, on his way to Sacramento. The
La Porte Messenger gives the subjoined ac-
count of how he and his companion "made
the rifle :"
Our Representative from Sierra, Hon.
John Daugherty and gentleman named
Stowell, from St. Louis, mnde the trip from
the latter place to La Porte, on Monday last,
under the most trying and dangerous circum-
stances. They started from st. Louis at one
o'clock in the afternoon, on snow shoes,
while it was showing fast. After crossing
slate creek, and in making the ascent of the
hill leading up from that stream on this side,
they found the snow in the timber quite deep
and so soft that their snow shoes sank to a
depth of about fifteen inches at every STEP
They were compelled from fatigue, Mr.
Daugherty informs us, to lie down as many
as fifty times in ascending the Slate Creek
hill. The exertion produced perspration on
the Travellers their clothes became saturated
and then became frozen leaving the wearers
Ill most uncomfortable condition. Nearly
exhausted the travellers arrived at this place
after 10 o'clock at night, having consumed
over nine hours in making the trip from St.
Louis to La Porte, distance of about four
miles Mr.. d. informs us that such was the
exhausted condition of himself and fellow
traveller that they could not have gone
mile farther. Death, who has hunted down
his hundreds in the snow storms of the Sier-
ra Nevadas, would have overtaken them had
they much farther to travel Mr.. Daugher-
ty was en- route for Sacramento, and having
business to transact at this place and Marys-
vile, he concluded to make an early start
and arrive at the Capital by the time our
Legislature organized 1t is to be hoped
that his journey, which was commenced so
inausPiciously, may be less full of disagreea-
bic adventure and may terminate pleasantly.
