HoNIcIDs AT HIKo.-A man named
Frank Pitt was stabbed and instantly
killed at Hike, Lincoln county, on Sun
day, the 2sth ultimo, tho particulars o
which IRE given in the following extract
from n letter to q person in this city
We had quite n lively day here last
Sunday. A young man by the nam OF
Frank Pitt, who was In Austin n short
time ago, was killed by a man named
Jake Colburn. The latter built the
What Cheer House in Gold Hill, and
kept it in 1862. The mon were in part
nership in q faro and monte bank, and
some misunderstanding arose between
them. Pitt followed Colburn into Eel
senthal's store and began to abuse HIM
then he went to his own saloon and
buckled on his pistol and returned to
the store, whom he again fell to abusing
Colburn. Colburn told him he did not
want any trouble with him, but that
what he had said about him was not the
truth. Pitt called him a liar, and began
to draw his pistol, when Colburn caught
hold of it, and Immediately drew n
knife and stabbed Pitt, which killed him
instantly. The %coroner's jury rendered
q verdict of %justifable homicide"
Pitt, who lost his life thus suddenly,
appeared to be n foolish and reckless
young man, who was impelled by tho
stupid ambition to be known rs n des-
pcrado. On his why to this city n few
weeks ago he passed through Belmont,
where he entered o saloon il. which a
party was playing at billiards, and very
deliberately drew his pistol and fired
into the table. That act of senseless
folly might have cost him his life, but
he was only arrested and fined. Other
pranks INDUCED in whilc at Belmont
led to his being fined to tho extent Of a
couple Of hundred dollars. His death
by violence was a foregone conclusion.

CoSSEcrIcUr.-Although the Demo-
Gratis have succeeded in re-electing their
Governor in Connecticut, the victory is
substantially with the Republicans.
Governor English has great personal
popularity, and was, undoubtedly, the
only man in the State who could be
elected on the Democratic ticket. On
the Legislative ticket the Democracy
have been overwhelmingly defeated. In
tho last Legislature the Republicans
bad a majority Of eleven on joint bal
lot, but the World now comedies them
a majority of twenty-four, which is a
great gain. The fight was chiefly made
over the Legislature, as that body has
to elect q successor to the renegade
Dixon, whose term Of Office rs United
States Senator expires March 4th, 1869.
Thus We have made a gain q a United
States Senator for six years to Offset the
continuation Of Gov. English's term for
one year more. The Worlds figures Of
g.. 1900 majority for the Democracy will
undoubtedly suffer considerable dimin-
ution as the returns come in.-Aha.

A CASE OF TRAcHEoroNY.-The Stock

A CASE OF TRAcHEoroNY.-The Stock
ton Independent Of April sth has the fol-
ling:
In extreme cases Of Group this surgical
operation has several times been performed
as a final effort to save the life Of the sufferer,
but we are not aware Of any having proved
successful in this city; at least w do not re-
collect Of any successful operation Of the kind
being reported. The following case, noted
BY our evening contemporary, will be
watched with interest: "The last chance
to save life from Group, BY opening the wind
pipe, was successfully performed u few days
since in Paradise. A little girl, aged eleven
years, daughter Of Carver, was so violently
attacked with Group that she could appar-
entity live only a few minutes. DR.. Schmidt,
ofthis city, and DR.. McL.ane, Of Tuolumno
City, were in attendance, and they proposed,
as the only means Of saving the child's life,
the opening OF the windpipe. At frat the
mother opposed, but seeing her child, as it
were, in the agony Of death, she gave her
consent. The operation was performed, n
quantity Of mcmbranous matter drawn from
the throat, and the child, that was before the
operation senseless, in a few hours aferward
became sensible, and there is now every pros
pect Of her final recovery.

OWE OF Speech.

Among public speakers there Is al
most as much diversity of style in speak.
ing rs there are speakers. We a
however, divide them into three classes:
First, the common-scnse, straightfor-
ward, eminently practical kind second,
those who talk neither sense, practicable
ity, or even sensible logic, promulgating
no new ideas, or saying anything worth
listening to or that anybody u re-
member; aud third, but tho best Of all,
the truly eloquent, glowing, heart-wsrm-
ing and Soul-stirring orators, like Colonel
Baker, whose eloquent words and bright
flowers Of speech will aforementioned
and cherished among the archives Of
the cver-approachiug future, long after
his earthly form, now Wondering in the
ground, shalt have become u mere trace
among the primeval dust.
or this latter class, is Senator Nys,
now so ably representing our young

at Washington. Speaking of flowers Of
of speech, however, read the following
