had not been looked upon as dishonest. The
matter was conducted in such manner as

any proceedings would be instituted against
him, although the agent was endeavorirr to
get testimony that would prove him guilty of
arson. After giving up the policy Pettic;ew

that no one would think she had cold abont

purpose of extinguishing the fire. They were
then re-opened when it was found that the
frc was not entirely out, they were closed
again aud will remain 50 until next Monday.
Several bodies were recovered when the mines
were opened. The number of persons now
known to have perished by this sad calamity
is thirty-seven. About seven thousand dol

In the Fifteenth District Court of San
Francisco. last week Miss Sarah, G. Reed
recovered verdict of Ten thousand dollars
promise to marry. The papers of that city
think the verdict just one. The defendant
endeavored to make the character of plaintiff
infamous with purchased testimony, which
seems to be the rule followed by wealthy
old gentlemen in that city, when they change
their minds in regard to marrying the woman
they have promised to, asserting all the time
that the suit is brought for "black mail' pur-
poses.
