WATCH pRrsrsrArIos.-on last Sat.

urday evening quite q pleasant h'lle
affair came off at the hall of Liberty
Hose Company No. l. 1t was the pres
entation Of a handsome silver watch
and heavy bullion silver chain to Louis
Wagner usually called the Commo-
dore), a member of Liberty Hose COM
pany since its first organization, a very
worthy, steady and upright citizen OF
our community, and who has been gun
ner ON our local Fort for the last five
Years. on all occasions which required
the firing Of holiday or election salutcs,
or in recognition Of victories won by
the Union armies during the late rebel
lion. Mr.. Wagner left Gold Hill this
morning by the Bonner Lake route for
California, and viii sail on the teamer
mex, Saturday on his way to Germany,
to visit, perhaps for the last time in ms
life, an aged father, whom he has not
seen for many years. Mr.. Wagner will
probably return to Gold Hill next SUM
mer. The presentation Of the watch
and chain on Saturday evening was
witnessed by about twenty-five gentle
men. the donors, and took tho Commo-
dore by surprise. Tho testimonial was
made through Col. John II. Mills, VINO
presented it in u very neat, ieelinS anu
truthful speech Of about fifteen minutes
duration, and in which he alluded 10
the kind aud disin.ercsted services, III
various capacities, which Mr.. Wagner
had conferred upon our Town for the
last five wears, and the universal regard
which is entertained for him by all u
people. The Commodore received the
acceptible memento in a few feeling anu
honest remarks; concluding with Il
promise to keep the present sacredly IN
memory ofthe kind donors, and OF whom
he would often think when far away IN
other lands. Refreshments were then
provided, and several speeches made oy
Gen. Winters, Gov. Jones, Captain
Putnam, W. II. Began, foreman OF tho
Yellow Jacket Hose, and others. IL
was rs pretty a little surprise party Ms
we have seen in Gold Hill.
MINER BADLY JAMMED.-John Chap
man, a miner working at the bottom OF
the new shaft of the Savage Company
was considerably injured about o'clock
p. NJ. yesterday, by the cage being low
cred upon him. There was q car upon
the cage, and the whole weight upon
him was about l,400 pounds, pressing
him forcibly upon the rough, hard tot
tom Of the shaft. As if this was not
enough, the cage was raised a few feet
and came down on him u second time,
tanning him fearfully. He was imme-
diatcly extracted and hoisted to the
surface. DR.. Hitler was sent for, II
the unfortunate man taken to his home
on Howard street. On examination, his
back and spine were found to be SER
iously bruised and strained, but he is
doing as we'll MS could be expected I'M
der the circumstances, and will event.
ually recover. The cause OF this ncci-
dent seems to have been some miscal-
culation or oversight in not stopping
the cage at the proper point, some ten
feet above the bottom.
