The CENTRAL HILL MURDER.-For the
following facts in relation to the killing of
Gray, by Fox, at Central Hill, on Monday
last, we are indebted to the kindness Of the
Coroner, DR.. A. H. Herchncr:
Inquest held at Central Hill, January %,
1868. on the body of one Ezra Gray. who
was shot by one VIM. Fox, alias Foye
about one mile from Central Hill, on the
27th inst, at 5 o'clock, P. NJ. and died
from the wounds at 5 o'clock, A. NJ, the
28th.
The only witness present, one John Smi-
ley testified as follows:
That he and Gray were working together
in their claim, about one mile from Central
Hill. when Fox came up and spoke to him
in friendly way when he turned towards
! Gray, telling him, "you done wrong in TAX
ing that girl away" Gray replied: II don't
know whether did or not" There was no
other conversation. Fox Immediately took
his gun from his shoulder and fired at GRAY,
twice in succession. 1 stepped from the
bank towards Fox, with sluicefork in my
hand, when Gray spoke to me to run for
help, as he was hurt badly. and expected to
die. I turned to run. when Fox pulled out
five or a SIX shooter and fired at me, once
or twice, and then at Gray again, in all,
three shots from the pistol. Fox then ran
off.
There were five buckshot which had enter
ed below the right nipple and pierced the
lungs; also, several buckshot passed through
the right arm; four of the buckshot which
entered the breast, either of them was suffi-
Gent to produce death. The wife of the de-
ceased testified that Fox had repeatedly said
that he would either kill her or her husband
on sight. The Jury found the following
verdict:
That the deceased was native Of Penn
sylvania, aged IS years; that he came to his
death by certain gunshot wounds, inflicted
on him by one VIM. Fox, alias Foye, on or
about the 2Sth day Of january, 1868, and
that SAID killing was done By the said VIM.
Fox, alias Foye, intentionally and with mall
ice aforethought.

ANOTHER GRAVEL RoAD.-We are glad to
see the spirit evinced by the people in the
different sections of the county in the matter
of improving the roads. We recently pub
lished two petitions favoring the construction
of gravel roads, one leading from the city in
the direction of Waterloo and the other on
Cherokee Lane. We now have to record
another which has been prepared and will
be circulated for signatures, addressed to the
Legislature as follows: s'The undersigned,
residents of San Joaquin county. would re-
spectfully petition for the granting to DR.. c.
'Grattan and others, the right to construct a
Turnpike and Gravel Road, commencing at
the intersection of Weber avenue and Aurora
street on the East, running easterly along
said Weber avenue to East street; thence
along said East street northerly to the
intersection of said East street and the road
leading from Stockton to Mokelumne Hill,
commonly called the .Mokelumne Hill Road
thence along said Mokelumne Hill Road
easterly through the village of Linden to the
bridge that crosses the Calaveras river at w.
v. Fishers, with the right to collect such
tolls on said road for the period of twenty
five years as may be fixed by the Board of
Supervisors of the County of San Joaquin"
Stockton Independent.
For Gods sake grant them the privilege
prayed for. It is about time the citizens Of
Stockton did something to render the road
leading in this direction passable during the
Winter months. Stockton is the great en-
trepot for merchandise destined for the south
ern and middle mining counties, and her
citizens should afford every facility in their
power for its prompt and speedy transmis-
sion. The occurrence of so severe storm
as the one which has recently visited US.
transforms about twenty miles of the Stock
ton end of the road into s.black sea" of
mud, absolutely impossible to more heavily
laden vehicles than q stage coach. The
consequence is that freight is detained in
Stockton, to the detriment of those to whom
it belongs, and its transportation, when pos
sible. necessarily involves an exhorbitant ex-
pense. For several years past we have
urged upon the Stocktonians the necessity
Of adopting some means by which uninter-
rupted communication with their city could
be maintained during all seasons of the year,
If they wished to retain the interior trade.
Heretofore, however, no more radical meas
ures for the remedy of the evil have been
adopted than to promise, each Winter, that
the roads should be fixed "next Summer
The only feasible plan in our opinion. is the
one which the citizens of Stockton now pro-
pose to adopt: that of building good. sub
stantial gravel turnpike to the foothills.
Should the project be carried out. it will
ensure the transportation of merchandise,
during all seasons of the year. at reasonable
rates of freight and establish the interior
trade now enjoyed BY Stockton, upon .
permanent basis.

THE LEGISLATURE
continues to rush through bills and enact

made by many members at the beginning
of the session, to enact the least possible
number Of local bills. have already been en-
tirely d;sregarded. and of the hundreds of
bills introduced in both branches, but few
are of general character. This is no fault
of the Legislature, for the interests of the
different sections of the State are SO various
and diversified that it is utterly impossible
for one general law, or system of laws, to be
suitable to the various localities.
