A HARD Casa man named Powers
was recently tried and convicted of petit
larceny, before Justice Shuf1eton, of James
Vile, and commitment papers were duly
made out and placed in the bands of the
Constable selected to escort the culprit to the
county seat for imprisonment. At Horse
town the officer stopped to get some dinner
for himself and prisoner, but previous to
going into the dining room he pulled off his
coat for the purpose of taking a wash, and,
while thus engaged, the prisoner abstracted
the commitment papers from bis pocket and
slipped them into the stove. After the meal
was dispatched the officer missed his papers,
and on stating the fact, the prisoner claimed
his liberty. In this dilemma the officer
returned to Janesvlle for fresh commitment
papers. but the Justice having neglected to
record the testimony previously adduced in
the case, and Blake, the principal witness
for the prosecution having disappeared, no
other alternative presented itself than to
release the prisoner After being discharged,
Powers STAYED around Janesvile for short
time, drinking whisky and making himself
generally disagreeable. and then started for
Humboldt county. While passing along Bee
Gum Greek, tributary of Cottonwood, he
happened to meet Blake, the man who testi-
fed against him in the larceny CASE
Powers stopped him and ordered him to strip
off his clothes and swim across the creek or
he would kill him then and there. The
freshet had swelled the stream to the dimen
sions of river, and the waters were deci
dedly chilly, but a cold bath was vastly
preferable to death, so Blake stripped and
swan across the torrent, amid the cheers and
curses of his tormentor. Powers then took
possession Blake's clothing and went on his
way rejoicing, while the latter had to travel
three miles, through heavy rain, in order
to reach the cabin of some miners, who, after
recovering from their astonishment at seeing
man dressed so nearly in the style of the
Menken, kindly took him in, and fulfilled a
scriptural injunction by giving him food and
raiment.

New AND EXTRAORDINARY CURE FOR THE
| CHoLERA.-Just at the close of the cholera
epidemic in Paris, an interesting experiment
was tried by DR.. Lorain, one of the physi-
clans of the hospital ST. Antoine. in the Fau-
bourg St. Antoine. As is well known TO
the profession, the blood in cholera becomes
thick or, to speak more correctly, loses is
watery particles, and does not circulate in
the capillary system. Under this state of
things the patient grows blue and cold and
sinks rapidly into collapse DR.. Lorain
thought that when a patient was found in
this fatal condition. it would be a good thing
to inject water into his veins so as to thin the
blood again, and enable it to circulate to all
parts Of the body. He first tried the expert
ment on animals and found it did not kill
them. He then took the first collapsed case
that came into the hospital. which happened
/ to be young man with no other bodily al!
| ment than the disease in question When
| he was cold, insensble and cadeveric--in a
word within an hour or two of his death
Dr. Lorain called his hospital colleagues to
gether, told them what he wanted to do,
and asked them their opinion as to the pos
sibility of curing the man by other remedies.
With one accord they declared the patient
beyond hope of relief, and that the Doctor S
conscience might be at ease in the trial of the
experiment he proposed. He then, with the
usual precautions against the intromission of
air. injected into the veins at the fold of the
arm about twelve ounces of water at a tenn
perature of 1040 Fahrenheit The man soon
grew warmer, his pulse became perceptible.
he showed unmistakable signs of returning
to life, and, in fact, l6 hours after the
operation, in the morning, he sat up in
bed and asked for drink He went on i'm

ordinary convaleseence from cholera, and get

FLAT CREEK.-The copious rains which
have fallen this season have increased the
facilities for working the bars on Flat Greek,
and the miners there are availing themselves
of the advantages thus afforded. The expe-
