CATHOLICS IN CuIcAGo.-A leading Catho.
lie divine of Chicago denounces the attempt
of the Times and Copperhead ward politi-
clans to make it appear that they are author
lied to speak for the Catholic Church. This
clergyman declares that he never permits the
Times to enter his house that no greater out
rage could be perpetrated than the conduct of
the leaders of the Democratic party in using
the name of the Catholic Church to induce the
Irish people to vote for their nominees that
the leaders of the Chicago Democracy are
composed almost entirely of the Know Moth
ings of 1854 and 1855 that there is not a
Catholic priest in Chicago who does not
despise them and that there is not one who
does not indorse Congress and General

DEAD CHINAMAN-Justice Daily, of Town
ship No. 8, was called upon to hold an IN
quest on the body of a Chinaman, at Texas
Springs, on Thursday. A. G. Davis, who
owns a water ditch in that neigbborhood,
testified that on Tuesday morning, before
daylight, he discovered the deceased IN the
act of stealing water; that he took hold OF
him, and after giving him a good shaking,
threw him in the ditch that deceased float
ed down a short distance, to small foot
bridge, when he was assisted out by Davis,
who went home, and on his way informed
a Chinaman, whom he met, of the occurrence
The Chinese found their unfortunate coun
tryman at the place described by Mr.. Davis,
and assisted him to his cabin, but he expired
in short time after being removed. Drs.
Shurtleff and Briceland made a post morton
examination, but failed to discover any marks
of violence upon the body, and expressed the
opinion that deceased came to his death
through a chill produced by being in the
water, and afterwards exposed to the cold
winds A verdict was rendered in accord
ance with these facts.

SHOWED HIS CoLoRs.-The Examiner, of
San Francisco, has been trying to be conser-
vative since the Philadelphia Convention but
the editor was so elated over the questions
which johnson didn't submit to the Attorney
General. that he could not contain himself
any longer, so he gave himself up to free
exultation, and spouted more treason and
defiance against the Union than ever JEFF.
Davis did in the same length of time. The
editor is down on the Philadelphia Ledger

ABATING NUIsANcEs.- Gazette of the
18th gives the following account Of abating
nuisances in Nevada:
Two houses of i'll fame, adjoining the
Pennsylvania Hose Company's house, on
Broad street, were serenaded by 4 party of
men on Saturday night, who tried the music
of 200 feet hydraulic pressure. to the aston
ishment and dismay Of the inmates. Cold
water from the hydrant. given with full
power, acted as an astonisher and was not to
be resisted. The inhabitants of the dens
were completely demoralized and made a
hasty exit from the tenement in very scanty
apparel. The dwellings were completely
drenched. These places have long been a
nuisance shocking to the sense of our people,
and could be endured no longer. The
keepers have been up on more than one
occasion for keeping disorderly houses, but
proof enough could not be had to insure them
Justice hence this summary procedure,
which. if not iustifable, was natural under
the circumstances.

A SPUNEY SoLDIER.-A story is told of a
Prussian sentinel stationed on the steeple at
Troppau, and left behind there when his
company retreated. The citizens attempted

gained to the steeple. They then decided on
reducing him by famine but the Prussian.
having with him good sdpply of cartridges,
announced that unless he was regularly and

good soldier thus contrved to maintain his
position for two days. when Troppau was

TERRIBLE DEATH OF A YoUNG GIRL. The
Cincinnati Commercial of September Eth
says:
Miss Helen Ehrlinger, a young lady of
only l6 years. whose father. Jacob Ehrlin-
ger, an iron finisher, lives at 50 Baum street
had called and was spending the afternoon
and evening of yesterday, at the residence Of
the family of Frederick Brenning No. 279
East Fifth street. At about O'Clock, while
she was romping with Henry Brenning, a
young man of seventeen, the latter took a
shot gun which he supposed to be unloaded
and having cooked it, playfuly pulled the
trigger. Unfortunately. the gun contained a
heavy load of buckshot, which was discharg-
ed. Miss Ehrlinger was standing in the
doorway, with her back to the young man.
and the load struck her in the back of the
head, tearing off half of it and bespattering
the walls with her blood and brains. Her
death was instantaneous. Young Brenning
was arrested and taken 20 the Hammond
street station. but stands exhonerated by the
verdict Of the Coroner's jury. The affair is
certainly a terrible affliction to both families.

MuRpER.-A cold blooded murder was per-
petrated on Flat Creek, in this county, on
Monday last 1t appears that one Mckenzie
became engaged in a trifing altercation with
Francois Lafargue, who kept trading posi-
at that place, and before any one was aware
of anv serious difficulty between the TWO
mon the former drew a knife and stabbed
the latter several times in the abdomen, IN
Aictinp wounds which proved fatal In a few
hours. After the stabbing, Mckenzie went
to his cabin close by, and remained there
until an Indian informed him that Lafargue
uos dead when he shouldered his rife and
fed to the hills. Sheriff Hopping and his
deputies have used every effort to arrest the
fugitive, but up to the present writirg
without success. Some think he is still
secreted in the hills around Flat Creek, others
suppose he has escaped across the Sacramento
river. He is described as being violent and
dissolute man, better fitted for associating
with Indians than white men. The Coroner
being sick, Justice Daily held an inquest over
the body of Lafargue on Wednesday, and the
jury returned verdict in accordance with
the above particulars. Sheriff Hopping offers
a reward of one hundred dollars for such in.
formation as will lead to the arrest of the

MUsr FIRST HELP OURsELvEs.-Ihere is a
great deal of useless talk INDUCED IN by a
norton of our citizens on the subject of for
eign capitalists purchasing and developing
our quartz mines. Now, we have observed
that capitalists generally help only those
who first help themselves and in those dis
trcts where the original locators have gone
to work industriously and developed some
thing substantial and encouraging, capitalists
have invariably come to their aid and helped
them out with the work, or have purchased
their mines at good prices. On the other
hand, those districts where the population
have sat down in idleness to gas and blow
about their rich claims, and wait for capital.
lists to come and purchase them, remain
undeveloped, and will continue to remain so
until the owners of the mines wake up, and
by their own efforts and labor prove their
claims to contain something of value. When
ever they do SO, capital will be on hand to
push along the work, and their mines will
become valuable. This thing of sitting still
and doing nothing but talk about the value
of our mineral resources will never bring
prosperity to this county, nor induce men OF
means to invest their money here. Wemust
90 to work and develope something attractive
and permanent before we can command the
attention of outside capitalists.
