TEnRIRLE ASSAULT AT SILvER Cry,

TERRIBLE ASSAULT AT SILVER Cry
At about 10 o'clock last night, the en-
gineer OF the Bacon mill, in Silver City,
went out of the door of the engine-room
for a minute, standing in front of the
door about that time, when he noticed u
man named Alverson, who had recently
been employed in the Bacon mill, en-
gagged in pounding something on the
ground. At first the engineer thought
nothing of the sight, but on returning
TO his room he still heard the blows, and
then went out to see what it was that
Alyerson was pounding. As he APP
proached, Alverson fled, and the engi-
neer discovered that a Waterman named
Wilson was living upon the ground, and
had been the object Of Alverson $ blows
Wilson was found to be horribly man
rled about the face, both jaws being
broken, and one side of his face being
mashed to a Jelly. He was unconscious
when discovered and has remained so
ever since. Alverson has been arrested
and in default of $4,000 bonds, is still
confined. He coufesses to his guilt.
Alverson's wife says that Wilson insult
ed her, and that to resent the insult her
husband went down to the mill to Kill
Wilson. II is very doubtful If Wilson
RECEIVERS. DR.. Bryarly has dressed his
wounds, and of course il surgical skill
can save the man, he has his chance. II
seems that Alverson is Il quarrelsome
nan he having been discharged from
the mill about q fortnight since for
quarreling. Alverson and wife kept a
clearinghouse, in which many OF the
mill hands boarded, until after his dis
charge Wilson is represented to be a
very amiable man, and is much beloved
bv all his a~cquaiatances. Wilson IS a
single man of about 25 years of age.
Still AFTER HIS Bopy.-The Virginia
city papers have given out the idea that
the noble-hearted miners who started to
find the dead body of Patrick Price,
who was killed in the cave in the ChoI-
lar-Potosi mine, last Saturday morning,
had given up the hunt, because OF the
great aud imminent danger Such is
not the case rs they are now and have
been vigorously engaged in their search.
Frank Jones. the energetic Foreman OF
the Chollar-P otosi, has a number OF the
regular hands in the mine, assisted by
as many volunteers rs he requires from
the Virginia and Gold Hill Miners
Union, engaged in drifting from what is
known as the lower track of the mine
and at ten o'clock, this morning, they
began penetrating the caved mass OF
timbers, earth, and rock-and it was
the Judgment, at the time specified, of
the workmeu that they had reached
within Il short distance of the dead
body and it may be they will recover
il in less than t~weuty-four hours. Mar
shall Cummings was down at the scene
of operations this morning, aud to whom
we are indebted for this information.
All honor 10 the noble men who are
riskiug their own lives TO recover the
dead but respected remains OF their
brother miner.
YORK STATE BUrrER.-L. B. Frankel,
Stone store, Gold Hill, the other day
received several tons of Herkimer coun-
" butter. in large hrkius, which he is
selling in irkins or retail. We saw n
of the firkins opened, and II more beau
tiful article we never saw, rich, Iucious,
golden colored, and evidently made
during clover time in May or June.
Frankel is doing an immense business
in the provision and grocery line. We
doubt whether there is such u stock OF
goods in the State. He is u liberal and
honest man TO deal with too.
DEATH OF Observation-Disclosures
wa received in Sacramento. on Sunday, |
BY r. Dale, that John Heidlinger, a for
mer resident of Sacramento, died at Vir-
ginia on Sunday. The deceased was
formerly the leader OF the Sacramento
Union Band, and in 1862 left the posi-
ton to accept that of leader Of the Sec
ond Cavalry band At Salt Lake. he
subsequently obtained his discharge and
removed to Virginia The deceased
stood well in his profession and was
highly esteemed by his brother musi-
cians.-Sde. Union.
HEALTHY MEATs.-The fat, delicious
looking beef, mutton, veal, and pork,
which we see hung up daily in the st:
Charles Market, (Jack Hayes'), Gold
Hill Market, next door to the NEWS
ofice,) and the Union Market, (Jef.
Wilson's, near Butsch's blacksmith
shop,) is quite evident that people IN
Gold Hill are getting their appettes as
frost and cool weather approach. Its
healthiness, too, can be seen in the red
cheeks and bright couutenances OF the
eaters.
wooD.-Everybody who has need for
winters wood, and who has the coin to
paw for it, should now buy their stock
Of the article for winter use. Good nut
pine wood can now be bought at Sic to
SIS a cord, good measure. In two
months hence it will cost from $50 to
$40. Wood is wood, in these parts,
and its price will not be lower than now
until the Truckee railroad is built and
then goodbye to high tariff on wood for
mill and household use.
GREEyBAcxs.-This kind of currency
is not so high AS it was last week, or
even the forepart of this week. Selling
NJ the banks and brokers Offices in Vir-
GINA and Gold Hill, yesterday, at only
6s and 90 cents on the dollar. A week
ago, it sold AT II and - cents. Gold
seems to be going up, and greenbacks
down. Or, perhaps, it is because the
g~reenback supply is greater han the
demand.
APPLICATION FOR CITIZENSHIP. "A
Chinamau, from Lyon county, yesterday
made application to the United States
Circuit Court for this State, to become
a citizen. His first papers required in
the matter were fled with the Deputy
Clerk of the Court, T. ]. Edwards. The
matter will be brought before the court
in regular order of business.-Cdr'on
appeal.

GERS of the Good Templars of California,
