TERRIBLE. S. f. Call relates the fol-

TERRIBLE.-The S. F. Call relates the fol-
lowing:
Novelists have often related how some fair
heroine died from broken heart. but the in
telligent reader always regarded it as more a
figure of speech, used for the purpose of ex
pressing that she was suffering from, deep.
seated melancholy Tut case'ef death from
broken heart actually took place in this city.
A man named Thomas Meehan, an Irish
man by BIRTH residing on' Lafayette street,
received letter from his native place, in.
forming him that his fathers house had been
destroyed by fire, and that his father, mo.
ther, two sisters and one brother had perish
ed in the flames. He read the letter, turned
pale, clutched convulsively at his breast. and
fell dead. The Coroner was called, and an
autopsy revealed that death was caused by a
rupture of the heart.

ARAsrRA.-At Saw Mill Flat, about mile
from Whiskytown, an arastra is being built,
to be run by water power, for the parpose of
prospecting gold bearing quartz lode that
is opened by shaft twenty feet deep. We
would not be surprised to learn that this lode
wide, and has pay streak in it, about six
inches wide, that will assay as high as two
hundred dollars to the ton. The ledge is so
convenient and easy to work that it cannot
fail to pay largely.

CouRrs.-County Courts have now origi-
nal jurisdiction over proceedings in insolven-
cy, and in cases of forcible entry and unlaw-
fal detainer. The extent of jurisdiction in
Justices Courts has been increased to $500,
and by the act for the transfer of cases, ap-
proved December 23d. 1868. all eases now
pending in District Courts, where the princi-
pal does not exceed that amount. upon ap.
piication of one of the parties, may be trans
forred to Justice's Court for trial.

18th, contains the following,
We have had an exciting time in this locali-
ty. no less than three Indians and one Amer
icap having been hung by Lynch law recent
ly, They we're convicted of the robbery and
murder of Cinnamon, and also of the murder
of one white man. We think they have met

Our CAND1DADE.-Nearly all the papers
of the State have expressed themselves in
favor of enc or the other of the many aspi-
rants for the next Presidency. For ourself,
although We will be satisfied with any one
who is perfectly sound on the question of a
vigorous prosecution of the war, until the
last rebel is driven into the g last ditch, "
yet our present Chief Magistrate-Abraham
Lincoln-is our first choice. If We cannot
get Old Abe, then we would like, above all
things, to see General Benjamin T. Butler
by rebels and their sympathizers called the
I" Beast''-receive the nomination. We be-
lieye there is not man now living in the
United States, next to Abraham Lincoln, so
well fitted for the exalted position of Presi-
dent, at this particular time, as General
Butler.

larceny, was being empannelled, the District
Attorney asked one of the iurymen if he was
acquainted with the defendant He replied,
after taking good look at Farleigh and his
counsel, who were sitting quite close together
in consultation, that he did "not know
either Of them" The counsel was ofopinion
fhat the juryman's powers of discrimination
we're too poor to do justice TO the case, and
peremptoriiy challenged him.

CANPBELL's REsoLuTIoNs.-The members

These are strange proceedings for Union
Legislature to be engaged in, where there is
no opposition worthy of note. Are the cap

about the true course to be pursued until the
rebellion is crushed? The people will watch
