PHOENIX, the beautiful bird who has been
writing communications to the Amador Dis
patch from this place. and whose only object
has been to slander and vilify the character
of county Official is, Judging from his last
letter, in a condition which pugilists call
"groggy." When called upon to mention
one single action of the officer referred to,
which was not in conformity with the duties
of his position, the only answer he can make
is the one always resorted to by venomous
copperheads when cornered-hissing from
between his poisonous fangs-" Abolition
office-holder, abolition teacher" ETC., etc.
lie says that he has " been endeavoring to
correct an evil, and not trying to cast re-
.,roach on anyone" and yet he is unable to
mention the evil of which he complains. The
truth of the matter is, these communications
are the offspring of mind as base and brut-
ish as the insinuations are false and malig-
nant and had their origin in personal spite
and hatred. The source from which they
emanate is well known, and the nomadic old
guerrilla who pens them is SO properly appre-
ciated in this town, that anything he can say
in defamation of person only rebounds to
his praise.

PAINFUL ACcIDENT.-On Saturday after
noon last, as Mr.. L. G. Root was driving into
town on the Stockton road, when near the
Washington Hotel, his horse became fright
ened and commenced running. Finding that
the animal was unmanageable, Mr.. Root
came to the conclusion that the safest method
of procedure for him was to vacate the We
hicle as soon as possible. When he evacu-
ated the carriage, he did not calculate with
sufficient accuracy the velocity with which
he was travelling, and consequently the mo-
ment his feet came in contact with the earth,
he was hurled with great force against the
ground, causing severe abrasion of the oc-
cipital. The frightened equine continued
his flight until he succeeded in demolishing
the carriage and disengaging himself from
the debris, before he could be checked. We
are happy to announce that Mr.. Root is now
convalescent. and that in a short time he will
be sufficiently recovered to resume his accus
toned avocations.

EARLY FRUIT.-We are under many obi
cations to Master Willie Low for generous
supply of excellent apples and pears, the first
of the season. No one can appreciate gift
of this kind so well as the weary printer
standing in one position at the "case' all
through these long, hot days. pursuing his
tiresome, never ceasing vocation, which keeps
mind and body constantly employed. To
him, an act like this breaks the dreary mo-
notony of his life, and like ray of hope to
the condemned felon, or the sight of an oasis
in the desert to the famished, thirsty travel
er, it revives his sinking spirits and recuper-
ates his exhausted energies. Willie, We thank
you.
WE were shown this week pair of beauti-
full opal ear-drops, which were cut and
mounted by Mr.. Schlund, of our town. The
stones were takenIout of the opal claim in
Stockton Hill, and are fully equal to any
imported ones we ever saw. The cutting
and setting are also finely executed. and
reflect much credit upon the taste and work
manship of Mr.. Schlund. We understand
that large number of fine opals have been
taken from the Stockton Hill claim, but the
operations of the owners have been conduct
ed with so much secrecy that we have been
unable to find out much about them.
