DISTRICT COURT, FIRST TERM-HON. S. {
PARKS PREsIDING.-The Court has been quite
busy during the week hearing motions of va
rious kinds in civil cases, including those to
amend and strike out, &c. The Grand Jury
meanwhile has been furnishing ample work
for the criminal calender, but as the time Of
the Dist. Attorney is necessarily much Occu-
pied with the Grand Jury, the Court dismiss
ed those who had been summoned as trial
jurors, until Monday next at o'clock P. NJ,
when they will be impanneled and the trial of
criminal cases commenced. Elsewhere we
publish list of those who have been arraign-
ed and plead. 1t is understood that several
indictments have been found against parties
still at large, whose cases Will not be made
public until after their arrest. There has,
perhaps, never been term of court held in
a new Territory, that has had as much bust
ness of an important character before it, as
the one now in session in this city. In view
of this fact, Judge Parks directed the Sher-
if to summon none bat ,goOd and reliable
men to sit a jurors. That officer has per-
formed the duty well, and we have no doubt
but that after adjournment of the present
term of court, cutting, shooting and stealing
viii be unpopular.
AS far as we have heard an expression from
The bar, Judge Parks-as Judges fully
Up to the good reputation that preceded him,
md the people who have had an opportunity
o witness his manner on the bench and
lear his address to the bar and charge to the
drand Jury, are convinced that he is the right
nan in the right place, and are willing to
rust their rights to his decisions.

STAGEs.-Last week-too late for our pa.
per-we received communication from an
agent of the Walla Walla and Boise Stage
Company, to the effect that the Company had
found it necessary to change the programme
somewhat from the first intention; and that
the arrangement then was to start passenger
trains out from Walla Wala two or three
times week from the goth February to the
LIST of March, and on that day, the first coach
would positively leave Walla Walla for Pla-
cerville, coming four times week, and that
the pick out of $50 fine stage horses would
be lplaeed on the route between the latter
place and Idaho city, making the trip three
times day each way. These are the ar
rangements and calculations of the Company
They may not be able to work up to the
schedule at first owing to the slippery state
of the roads in some places, but eventually
they will do all they promised no doubt, if
we will only have patience.

STABBED ohm Fortman of the Cincinnati
Exchange on Montgomery street, was stab
bed by M. Levy, storekeeper in the same
vicinity, on the 28th ult., under the following
circumstances, as related by Mr.. Levy: Some
weeks since, Mrs. Myers had difficulty
with her husband, and in the fight pounded
him severely in the face with boot. while
Fortman held him down on bed, Since
that time the husband has resided at Center
vile, and Fortman has taken it upon himself
to see that Mrs. Myres was provided for.
On the day of the stabbing, Mrs. Myeys went
to Levy and asked him for SIS to bear her
expenses to Centerville. Levy told her she
could have the money, and if she ever intend
ed to go with her husband again she had
better do so at once, as people were already
beginning to make remarks about the intima
cy between her and Fortman. This CONVEX
sation she conveyed to F., who became en-
ragged, and sought Levy at his store, making
an assault upon him, which L. returned BY
8tabblng him with his pocket-knife in the
lower part of the stomach. The wound al
though made with small instrument, is a |
severe one, and it was thought for some time
would prove fatal, but we hear that the pa
tent is now recovering.

PoETRY,-The poem communicated last
week, entitled the " Murdered Travellers" we
inserted as original when, perhaps, the con-
tributor only intended to request its pubIica-
ton as selection. The verses seemed to
have a local application in the events of the
last few months in this Territory, and we took
it for granted were original. We are now
reminded that they are taken from Bryant
and should have been credited. Such occur
rences are unpleasant, but are liable to hap
pen with the best Of US sometimes.

MIGHTY RUsH.-A sham quarrel, and>fring
of blank cartridges from rsvolvers, in the
Hurdy-Gurdy dance-house on Monday eve
ming, caused terrible stampede in that insti.
tuition. Several frightened individuals came
past Boston & COdy's corner running for dear
life in the direction of Buena Vista, exclaim-
ing as they ran, that four or five men were
killed up town. We went cautiously in the
direction of the scene of conflict, and took a
look at the wreck. The sash-doors were
completely carried away, and the pavement
strewn with broken glass. A simultaneous
rush of the crowd for the stree! when the
firing began had carried everything before it,
bursting windows and doors, and tumbling
heels over head in the widest confusion. They
may be said to be panic-stricken and demoraJ-
ized. No bones were broken that We know

LAST week we asserted that Mrs. Van Hou.
ten and j. B. Smith sustained the leading
characters in the play Of the "Harp Of Alten.
berg" on Thursday evening. Professor Myers
requests us to correct the statement, mas
much as he, and not MIR. Suith, played the
character of Rodolph-the hero of the play
Mr. Smith taking the part of Hans. Having
since witnessed the play, we have no hesita-
ton IN according to Rodolph the title of
leading character, which the Professor sustains
admirably. The celebrated play of Don Ce-
sar de Bazan is in rehearsal, and will be pro-
duced ere long at the Temple. Considering
the scarcity of play-books, the managers Of
the various theaters that have been opened in
the city during the Winter, deserve much
credit for the manner in which they have
placed amuSements on the stage. Professor
Myers assures US that the Harp Of Alien.
burg, as played at the Temple three nights
last week, was written by him from memory,
after lapse Of twenty-five years, during
which time he has neither seen the piece
layed nor in print.

structsd a model on small scale which fully
illustrates the principle upon which it is in
tended to work instead Of raising the stamps
as dead weight, IS in an ordinary quartE-mill,
the arms or ifterS on the main shaft are made
to play upon leavers, and to these are attach
ed the stamps, thereby gaining power. The
model, which can be seen at Mr.. C.s shop,
has 70 stamps, only two Of which are ascend
ing at the same time, two wheels are also
attached for arastras. The whole machine
