PERILs OF EDITING FRONTIER PAPER
The editor of the Owyhee Avalanche, under
the head of Agreeable Business" gives
the following incident Of newspaper edi-
tors life on the border of civilization 90,
the felicity Of eating a paper! Charming,
agreeable, in a horn! Fascinating, attrac-
tive occupation, but difficult to appreciate.
How nicely and smoothly one gets along
without any onpleasantness = For in
stance, in recent issue we referred directly
TO a ru:han known as Captain Prescott, and
incidentally TO a guerrilla PANIED Al Cage.
We did this in justice TO ourselves and the
community at large. The other day, while
quietly seated in our senctum, taxing our
brain for more copy, in response TO the
everlasting cry of the devil. the two above
named villains, one Of them armed with a
hatche, and the other with a bowie knife Of
large dimensions, made a violent attack upon
our person. The alternative was to fight or
die. We accordingly seized 4 large knife.
about two feet long, used for cutting paper,
and bled our assaiiants pretty freely. They
sued for mercy, spared their worthless
lives ard told them to dust and they got up
aud busted. We should take this occasion
TO state shat if ever they or any one else at
tack us with intention Of doing US bodily
harm, we will shoot them dead on their
tracks or cut their throats from ear to car"

GRANTS ALLEGED DEcLINING.-The fol.
lowing, from a dispatch to the New Yort
Tribune, dated at Chicago, May 10. contra.
dicted the report that General Grant would
not be the Republican candidate, but the
telegraph did not furnish us with the con-
tradiction of the report which is circulated
d" General Sharpe followed Cochrane, in the
Soldiers and Sailors Convention, in order
to quiet any apprehension raised by report
printed in Copperhead paper here to the eff
feet that Grant had declined being a candi-
date. General Sharpe related a conversation
he had with an officer holding confidential
position at General Grants headquarters.
This officer, last Friday, asked General Grant
If there was any truth in the reports that he
did not intend becoming candidate. Gen.
eral Grant replied in words to the following
effect: l have allowed the use of my name
by the Republicans for many months, and it
would be ungrateful and unsoldiery for me to
desert them now, when things look gloomy
This raised intense enthusia SIN, and it was
many minutes before Haserty and other
gentlemen could speak"

ARREST FOR FoRGERr.- Says Tuesda,

ARREST FOR FoRGEIr.-Sa Says Tuesday
evenings Trespass: This morning the Off
GERS Of the law arrested and took to prison a
man named V. W. Cleavland, charged with
having forged several checks, cashed by the
Cashier of the Bank of California. 1t is a
sad case, for Cleavland is man of fine So
clal attdInment>, young, attractive, and has
occupied for a short time flrst-rate position
in this community as Superintendent Of the
Sapphire mill. Our understanding of the
matter Is, that Cleavland has for some time
past been playing at faro, and has lost con-
siderable sums of money. During the late
election in Gold Hill he took an active inter-
est on the losing side, and, it is asserted,
dropped considerable coin in Republican
pockets. In order to cover his delinquencies
he drew at sight upon William Hobart, his
employer, and Mr.. Hall, Hobart's agent-the
several checks amounting to SOC. Discov-
cry of the fOrgeries was made yesterday morn
ing. and quite number of checks were pre-
scented but not paid. We have been informed
that Cleavland was formerly employed in the
San Francisco Post0tiice, and that ne left his
on account Of some little unpleas-
antness in relation to a money order. We
doubt the correctness of this, and trust that
this is his first and last attempt at dishonesty.
His friends are making strenuous exertions
to arrange the matter, but it is doubtful il
the Bank folks will permit him to go unpun-
ished, as he Acknowledges his crime and only
asks mercy.

JUNE WEATHER IN CALIFORNIA - The
Napa Register Of the 9th instant says This
has been a strange month for June, not even
the oldest inhabitant having experienced
such weather before. On Monday and Tues
day we had very little showers of rain-suf-
fcient to lay the dust somewhat and spoil
new mown hay. twas feared that the rain
would cause the grain to rust, but fortunate
ly we have had no warm weather since, or
great damage nigh. have resulted from this
source.
The Vallejo Recorder of the same data
says Last Sunday morning we had quite
frost in this vicinity cold wind blowing
from two different points of the compass,
and changing about every half hour, with
an occasional sprinkling of rain, has made
the week about as miserable as any We have
had this Spring.

A BosToN correspondent Of the Chicago
Journal says: have good authority in say
ing, what has already been stated in the
newspapers, that the real Mrs. Augustus
Dickens is at present residing in London,
where she has lived since her husband de-
serted her. She is blind, and in all her
Affections she has had the active and sub
stantial sympathy of Mr.. Dickens, and to-day
knows no truer friend than he. Augustus
was a scamp, and his brother more than
once aided him when his dissipation and ex-
travagance threatened ruin and distress to
himself and family. He finally was obliged
to leave England on account Of dishonor-
able action which he knew his brother would
not forgive, and with his exile all intercourse
between the brothers ceased.

CEsAR-Our friend Sheriff Ranney is the
fortunate possessor of Newfoundland
"purp" Of eleesome disposition and sanguine
temperament. Theoretically the dog is de-
signed to guard the prisoners in the county
Jail. Practically-as our citizens are peaceful
and honest, and our .iuries lenient-there are
no prisoners, and Caesar ehaws" statutes.
He has already devoured two copies of the
laws of 1861, and one pocket edition of the
New Testament (the property of Bob Steen).
Our end man saws that the dog has more law
in his stomach than half the lawyers in town
in their heads. Certainly we would advise
those OF our legal friends who do rot care to
have their Practice Acts digested by Caesar
to keep their doors locked when he is around.
-Mou,atain Champion.
A sort Of Dogberry, that "purp," we
reckon. ~

The BABES IN THE WoODs.-A cor
respondent OF the Portsmouth (N.H }
Times says that the town of Atkinson
was thrown into excitement on Mon
day afternoon by the announcement
that two little children of Rufus Morse,
aged three and four and one-half
years, were missing since early that
morning, and though dozens of people
had searched for them several hours,
no trace could be found of the miss
ing babes. Before dark nearly all
the inhabitants of Atkinson were en-
gagged in the search, young and old,
rich and poor, all turned out. The
moon set that evening about eight
o'clock, but until about eleven the
search was continued, but was fruit
less. The parents were nearly dis
tracted, but all efforts made failed to
bring the slightest clue to the lost
ones. When nearly all had given up
and no hopes were entertained of
their being found that night, Hamp-
stead man, named Tristan Little,
plunged into the swamp about one
and half miles from the home of
Morse, and there, in about a foot of
mud and water, found the little ones
exhausted and almost dead. The
three year old was about half miners
ed in the water and was sleeping
with its head resting on a log. How
they came there they cannot tell, ex-
'cept that the four-year old says he
kept going and thought he saw a
light which he tried to reach. Wet,
cold and hungry, these babes in the
woods must have slept the sleep of
death had the search been given over
until the following day.
