LOCAL AND COUNTY MATTERS.


CouRr MATTERS. People vs. Outer ct ais The
Defendants, Frenchmen, were arrested, ch arged
with stealing wood from the c.. Railroad. The
defence was conducted by Dbble Il By.ne of
Grass Valley. The Cos, wood agent charged
these men with having taken wood off the piles
belonging to the Railroad Co., and placing it up
on their own, to be measured again and sold
over; verdict mot guilty" People VS. Frank
Todd. This is one of a party Of ten men Indicted
for arson in the second degree. 10 setting fire to
the G. p. Railroad Co.'S, enov-sheds near Cisco
They were indicted by a special grand jury
Repeated efforts have been made by the prosecu-
ton to have the cases continued on the ground
of absent witnesses but denied by Judge Spear,
rs the power of the court to compel their atten-
dence, had not been exhausted. One of the
eases, that of Frank Todd, came up for trial on
Tueeday last, when jury was empannelled aud
attachments issued for two defaulting witnesses
Ia Sacramento. The case was tried on Wednes-
day and went to the jury in the afternoon. The
Jury came in several times for further instruct
tions and asking to be discharged. Finally the
jury came in about 10 o'clock r. N. and reported
that IL was impossible TO agree and were dis
charged. Cravens and Cannon defended and
District Attorney Craig prosecuted the case. Up
to this (Thursday) morning, there has been sum-
moned and in attendance some ninety jurymen
There arc about forty witnesses to be examined
il all ten cases are tried it will require some
three hundred jurymen, and sweet bill the coun'
~ will have to foot. This railroad is a splendid
customer in furnishing criminal business but a
wonderful poor tax payer. Since the ahove
was written the cases have all been postponed
until the December term, on account Of absent
witnesses on the part of the prosecution.

MAGSANIMITY. j Ohm Barry, better
known as "Old Blaze, so long stage
agent in Nevada, California. died in
that place July 18th. He was a fel-
low of infinite jest, of most excellent
fancy. II all the droll and comical
things he ever said were published.
the book would put TO shame half the
works Of modern humorous writer's.
He is given to drawing conc luslon,
such as no one else could ever think
of. and in repartee h. was wonderful.
As a specimen of his wuole life. we
will reproduce, as near as we can. the
scene which transpired between him
and James Haworth on final settle
ment. Haworth was President of the
California Stage Company, and
Blaze was the Company's Agent at
| Nevada. Haworth said: Blaze, Won
have overdrawn your account to the
amount of sixteen hundred dollars; in
consulting with the Company's Direct
ors, they instructed me to say to you.
that in consideration of your long and
faithful service, thev would throw Off
half the amount and be satisfied if you
would refund eight hundred dollars.
This was Blaze's opportunity. Reach
ing over he took and wruug Haworth's
hand. and in broken differences ex-
claimed, Mr.. Haworth, the n,agnam-
ity of the company almost overcomes
me ; but in consideration of the length
of time you have kept me employed,
and to show you that no id stage
company that ever existed can excel
me in magnanimity, will throw of
the other half and call it square with
them" Haworth gave it up. May
, the flowers grow green over the grave
Of poor Blaze.

influences Of the Sun.

Tho sun has long been known to be
the great centre OF light and heat to our
system, but recent discoveries indicate
that motion and life, all the great chang
es in the physical character of the earth.
in the past, and all progress in the flu
ture depend on the suns heat. Prof.
Tyndale says
His warmth keeps the sea LIQUID and
the atmosphere gas, and all the storms
which agiIate both are blown by the
mechanical force OF the sun. He lifts
the rivers and the glaciers up to the
mountains; and thus the cataract and
the avalanche shoot with an energy de-
rived Immediately from him. Thunder
and lightning are also his transmitted
strength. Every fire that burns, and
every flame that giows, dispenses light
and heat which originally belonged TO
the sun. In these days, unhappily, the
news Of battle is familiar to us, but ey-
erv shock and every charge is an appli-
cation of the mechanical force of the
sun. lie blows the trumpet. he urges
the projectile, he bursts the bomb-and
remember, this is not poetry, but rigid,
mechanical truth. He rears, as | have
said, the whole vegetable world, and
through it the animal; the lilies of the
field are his Workmanship, the verdure
OF the meadows and the cattle upon u
thousand hills. lie forms the muscle.
