The Nevada Inland Empire says'-
yesterday morning force OF armed men, to
the number of twenty or twenty-five, made an
other raid on the four-dollar men engaged in
some OF the principal mines on Treasure Hill.
All the raiders were armed with revolyers, and
MANY of them wore masks. Their coming was
unheralded, and their conduct the most reckless
and outrageous ever perpetrated in a civilized
community. Shafts were visited in which un-
Offending miners were at work, and shots and
stones without number poured down among the
workmen. In some instances the men were in

A Steer that Wouldn't be Butchered.

The same journal prints the following -
Samuel Fennimore, of Appointments, few
days ago sold fattened steer to Il butcher, but
when the butcher came to take possession of his
purchase, the steer having grown fat upon his
own native heather, had serious objections to
being transferred, but after an exciting chase
his steership accidentally fell into ditch, where
he was captured by those in pursuit, and with
lines and timbers once more raised on
terra tirmG. But no sooner had his
feet reached solid ground than he again
asserted his independence, and bidding
defiance to his pursuers, with head and tail
erect, he left again to enjoy his old pasture
ground, where he was left complete master of
the field. On the following day the number of
pursuers was increased and with guns and
other Warlike instruments the pursuit was re-
newed; the steer, meanwhile, snufling danger in
the distance, prepared for vigorous resistance,
and at the first onset dispersed his pursuers,
chasing them through Mr.. Fennimore's peach
orchard, knocking over one of Mr.. Fennimore's
hands, and chasing another who had poured
the contents of his gun into the face of the
steer. up peach tree just in time for the body
of the tree to receive the onset of the charge,
to the serious injury of the tree. Becom-
ing surrounded by his pursuers, he again
threw up his head, and snufling the morning
air. broke away and after leaping several hedge
rows was again brought to bay in Mr.. Fenni-
more's orchard, determined to stand his ground.
His pursuers cautiously approached, and one OF
them, with trusty rifle, crept from tree TO tree
towards his steership, who upon being discov-
cred by him was Immediately put to flight and
compelled to seek refuge in peach tree, Just in
time to keep from being annihilated by the lntu-
rated beast who seeing his enemy treed, stood
bepeath and looked up at him, giving him fair
opportunity to plunge bullet into his brain,
which was done. Thus ended the exciting chase
which resulted in three persons more or less in
iured, none seriously, and dead steer

PARIS, January 20.-The French Blue
Book for the year 1868 has made its ap
pearance. Correspondence with the
Government at Washington shows that
cordial relations continue to be main
tanned between France and the United
State. In reference to the recent events
in the Spanish peninsula the Blue Book
says: France, faithful to the principles
of her foreign policy and to her friend
ship for Spain, preserves strict NEUTRAL
ty and sincerely wishes her well through
the crisis.
Statistics are given to show the
strength of the French array, which IL
officially reported to number at thu
present time $4,000 men, Of whom 1l5,
900 are on furlough. The Blue Bool
also contains the dispatches and COM
munications which were exchanged be-
tween the French and Italian Govern
ments in regard to the evacuation Of
Rome by the French troops. All at
tempts to make an arrangement to that
end proved fruitless.
