BIZ WELLS. FARGO AND co.'s LIME,

MALICIOUS MIscuIrF.-A case on the
above charge, growing out Of the food
of yesterday noon, was brought before
Justice Cook of this town. The parties
reside at Lower Gold Hill, and while tho
heavy torrent Of water was pouring
down Telegraph street, n Of them, 10
order to keep it from damaging his
premises, raised an embankment, which
caused the water to back up aud run
over a dam built by his n~eighbors next
above him for a similar purpose. They
at once voted il 10 be q dam nuisance,
and would have torn his dam away had
they been allowed. In order to get even
on the arrangement, they went and had
him arrested for malicious mischief.
The jury after taking a look at the
premises, and hearing all the points in
the case, took the view that the natural
course Of the water was across the
property OF the compliments, aud the
defendant in preventing their turning
the water upon his precious was not
guilty Of malicious mischief.
Gagged RArs.-At the old hosting
works of the Savage company, day
before yesterday, an empty cage had
been down the shaft for nearly half an
hour, aud on being hoistsd, no less than
IL full.growu rats came up with it.
Some of them were on the cage, while
Others were climbing above it on the
| cable. One Of them had climbed so
high that he passed over the sheave at
the top of the hosting frame and was
killed. The others jumped down and
scampered of in all directions a. soon
as they reached daylight, except a few
which were killed by the workmen.
Those rats either happened to get upon
the cage while it was down, in search
of food, or else they were DESTROYS Of
going 10 the surface and were smart
enough to do as miners do on such
occasions.
A LITTLE NIxED.-Dnring the pro-
gress of a Ease this morning. in Judge

be all right, Judge" Witness looked
| abou, the room a time or two, as if to
get run of things, and then went on with
his sto:y.
NABBEp.-About Eve weeks ago, one
evening, n German was knocked down
in the main street of Chinatown, Vir-
ginia, and considerably injured, BY some
party unknown to him, and for what
reason he know not. Whatever the fell
lows object was, there were SO many
witnesses about that he absconded in q
hurry, leaving his victim lying upon the
ground. 1t seems, however, that be
was seen aud recognized by a white man
who left his name and description with
the police. Last evening Officer Ben
