FROM THE WATERY REGIoS.-John A.
Lancaster, of the National Exchange
Hotel, returned from the lower country
Yesterday. He left q point about eleven
miles from Knights Landing, in the d.
rection of Colusa, and arrived at the
former place in safety with his team.
The horses were turned out on high
ground and the carriage housed. Mr..
Lancaster and his family came over the
waste of waters to Sacramento in o
barge, he informs US that the road on
which he found excellent travelling for a
buggy, four days before, could be passed
over for miles in o steamer. The entire
country is covered with water which is
said by residents to be higher than was
ever known before. Many cattle and
horses were seer in water up to their
backs miles away from any bare spot.
Fowls had taken refuge in the tops of
trees, and the only marks left by which
the course Of the rivers could be told
were the lines of trees which skirt either
bank. The loss of property in grain,
hay and live stock is immense. Nevada

TIE Montgomery Nail re-produces the
following report Of q case by John
Hooper, in the times when he'edited the
Mol:
A fellow was indicted up in the old
ninth, when Tom Ct was solicitor,
for gambling, to-wit: Playing short
cards at q certain locality known as
Frog Level. Col. - defended him,
and contended before the jury that
though the States evidence had tended
to show to his client, with q bottle of
liquor in his pocket accompanied the
crowd, who, it was shown, did actually
play, yet 1t never did, with absolute GER
tainty, locate him as one Of the players.
Said he, by way of p%eroration:
Gentlemen of the Jury, the witnesses
have told you that Peter Wyatt were
thar, and a playing; for he noticed his
hand, and It was a full on queensl
Harry Snow was thar, and he played,
cause witness noticed his hand in par

William Upsom was thar, and he
played, and the witness seed his hand,

gentlemen, for he held the bully hand

But, gentlemen, when I come to ask
him about Abraham Pitkens my

men?
Why, nothing, gentlemen, except that
if Abe hilt any hand, he aforementioned

liquor in his pocket, and the witness
can't remember as he hilt any hand at
all when bully hands was out, and him
the best player in the crowds that
is that, 1 say, gentlemen of the jury,
any reason that my client was guilty OF
gambling2
It is almost needless to say that the
jury saw the non-sequitor, and acquitted
the defendant.

JEWISH Love FOR THE Holy LAsD.-As
IN example of the fervid religious at
tachment of the Jewish population to
the Holy Land, in which they believe
the chosen people are one day to be
gathered, the case of a destitute young
widow is mentioned, who had wealthy
relations in Germany, and whom it was
proposed to assist in returning to them.
She declined the offer with gratitude,
but with an enthusiasm worthy Of Sir
Walter Scott's Rebecca. "God has
granted me the high privilege of living
to breathe the hallowed atmosphere of
the land of our forefathers, Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. He has caused his
grace and mercy to descend upon me,
by bringing me, when an infant, unto
this sacred spot, whence the radiant
glory of His divine law emanated. He
has permitted me to tread on that hal
lowed ground on which our Prophets
and teachers lived, and I would rather
starve, together with my children, while
kissing the dust in the Holy City of Je-
rusalem, than live in plenty elsewhere.

Law REPORT.
District Court, Lysu Ceuuty, Dec. Tern
W. HkrpoN, Judge.

49,
The State Of Nevada, vs.. Louis Cha
peau and Victor Lamotte-Grand Lar
ceny.
Sentenee.-Louis Chapeau and Victor
Lamotte, you will stand up and hear
your sentence.
You were indicted by the Grand Jury
for the county Of Lyon, for the crime Of
grand larceny, viz, for stealing valua-
BILE amalgam, worth $3.50, the personal
property of the Confidence Mill and
Mining Company ; TO which charge you
both plead guilty. Have you anything
to say why the sentence Of the law
should not be passed upon you?
Both declined responding.
The crime for which you stand guilty,
is not one that should be measured by
the ordinary standard of grand larceny.
In the business Of milling in this country,
there must, from the very nature Of
working precious ores, be more conf
dence reposed in the employees than in
the usual vocations Of, laboring men,
and for that reason, and that they may
be faithful to their. employers, a higher
rate of wages are paid consequently,
when that confidence is violated It adds
a darker hue to the crime of larceny.
If l was to measure the punishment &C
| cording to the amount stolen, n or
two years would probably be within the
usage Of precedent in ordinary cases,
hnt for Tho ron ennc aeaiOned and that IL
may be a warning to others in prevent
ing like violations, l am disposed to
increase the accredited measure. The
law limits me to not less than M or
more than foprteeH years. Therefore,
the judgment Of the Court is that you,
Louis Chapeau and Victor Lamotte, be
adjudged guilty Of grand larceny, as
charged in the indictment, and that each
of you be imprisoned in the State Prison
of the State of Nevada for the term Of
FIVE wears, to date from this day.

Charleston for the shores Of Africa, to

those who profess to be friends of the
freedmen recommend this emigration to

GUS doubt. The Liberisn colony has
virtually proved a failure. The climate
is such that a large proportion of the

THE ROADS

Just at this present time the roads
leading into and across Nevada are not
in q very good condition. On the Pla-
c~erville route from California, stages
are run the entire distance; but psssen-
gers have to stop over night at Sports
man Hall and at Strawberry, making
the travelling time from Sacramento to
Virginia, three days. As most of the
original stock on the Plaeerville route
has been transferred to the Dutch Flat
line, only ten persons can find q place in
the daily stage via Lake Tahoe. The
Railroad on the Dutch Flat line is in
passable condition from Sacramento to
Alta, except q half-mile of "cut," which
is SO badly flooded that passengers have
to takes walk around 1t. From Alta
&c Polly's Station, 9 distance Of about
20 miles, travellers have to go on horse
back; and terrible slow motion it is at
that. One Of the employees on the
road informed q party of Virginians at
Alta, on Saturday last, that the storm
had done full q million Of dollars worth
Of damage to the Railroad. he said
that there were places on the line be-
tween Alta and Cisco, where it would
cost much more to repair than was orig.
inally expended to construct. As fol
the prospect for mending the breaks SC
as TO run the trains to Cisco, he said the
Sacramento Union might swear it could
be done in o week; but the fact was, il
the road was "patched up" so as to al
low Of trains passing within the next
two months, it would be a wonderful
accomplishment.
Capt. Martin White and others walked
v Q the road line, from Alta to Polly's,
on Friday last, and report several bad
caves or "slides," but do not think
them extremely difficult to remedy.
From Polly's station to two miles west
of Crystal Peak there is sl~eighing-the
road to Bonner Lake being excellent.
From Crystal Peak to Hunters it is
rather rough jolting in the wagon; from
Hunters TO the foot Of the Geiger Grade
It is better; there's mud on the Grade,
but tho horses do tall walking up it, and
from the dollhouse into Virginia the
wagon comes on a humping run. II
the railroad company could open and
maintain locomotive communication to
Cisco, tho trip from Sacramento to Vir-
pinia via Dutch Flat could at this sea-
son be made with ease and comfort. in
t~wenty-four hours. This seasons expe-
rienee on "weak points" on the line
will undoubtedly so inform the railroad
company that they can protect their
road, through to the summit, next year.
As you pass along the summit proper
and down into Bonner Lake Valley, the
blasting explosions sound out and echo
with the frequency and force of a bonn
harding cannonade. Riding through a
severe snow storm on or near the sum
NIT and having your ears RECALLED with
the "boom-boomings" that are manu-
factured in the tnnnels, is represented
as every romantic-and cold as thun-
deri"
The roads from Austin, Humbolt and
Esmeralda are not in their worst condi-
tion-not BY any means. But they could
be smoother without being over nice.
Stages on all of them make the time the
schedule prescribes.
