FInE.-On last Monday evening, between sew
en- and eight o'clock, the slaughter house of
Dodsworth & Co., near town, totally de-
stroyed by fire. All the tools, fixtures, dressed
carcasses, and lot of hides and tallow was con-
sumed with the building. The fire was discov-
cred in time to tear down the pens, corrals, etc,
and save the live cattle, sheep and hogs by let
ting them run. We learn that a pilfering, va
grant Chinaman or two had been laying around
the premises and had been driven off once or
twice, and it is supposed that for revenge they
set the building on fire, as the workmen, after
finishing slaughtering in the evening had care
fully put out all the fire and made everything
secure. This was new slaughter house-the
old one on the same site having been burned
last summer The loss will reach from 5000 to
$500.

CELESTIAL Row.-Our5 Chinese imam and

fights, kilnappings and lawsuit that We rarely
mention any of them; but on Sunday night last
one of these unpeasantnesses occurred, which
elected the attention of the 'Melcan" man also
1t seems that officer from Placer
vile with carriage and some Chinese 'ident-
with grand larceny. The officer got his warrant
Endorsed by Judge Poland, he being from anoth-
II county, (El Dorado) and proceeded in the
night with his Chinese attendants to Chinatown
to make the arrest, but in place Of arresting
Chinaman, as required by the warrant, they
Seized Chinese woman, forced her into the
carriage cholzed her down, and were about to
leave. The woman yelled all sorts Of bloody
murder and Chinatown swarmed with Celestials
and resounded with hideous noises, until quite a
number of our citizens rushed in to see what was
the matter 1t soon became so clearly manifest
that it was a case of kidnapping. and that the
warrant was only pretense, that the arresting
parties forcibly admonished to cease at
once, which they were glad to do. The Ell Do
rado parties made no captures but the three
Cinnamon who accompanied the officer were ar
rested for kidnapping, and are now lying in Jail
here in default of 81 900 bail, each, and the Off
Ger was apparently glad to put the North Fork
between him and Placer county. This woman
was valuable for purposes of prostitution, and
that was why she was sought to be kidnapped.
How beastly, how revolving, that such scenes as
these should occur in free, enlightened Christian
America; and yet, the mongrel party and its
treaty with China, brings these creatures here,
and on it rests all the odium of disgracing our
country.

GOLD MEDsL.-James r. Nickerson, of Nick
erson S celebrated orchard and vineyard in this
county, near Lincoln, has been awarded by the
Committee of the State Agricultural Society,
splendid and valuable gold medal, as the exhib-
itor of the best and greatest variety of fruits.
There were but seven Of these gold medals to be
awarded, and Placer did well, or rather our old
friend Nickerson, for Placer, to obtain one when
the State was in competition. That Mr.. Nick
erson fairly won the medal, no one acquainted
with the extent OF his orchard and vineyard and
the almost innumerable varieties of choice fruits
and vines both American and foreign, will, for
a moment doubt. Such exhibitors are an honor
to the county and the example Of such cultva-
tors should be stimulating to others in the same

HANDSOMELY DoNE.-On going home on
Thanksgiving evening we found fine large fat
turkey gobbler in the coop. There had been
turkey in the coop in the the morning, but we
felt sure we had beheaded it, and on further in
spection we found the new turkey to be OF diff
ferent color and much larger. We inquired
around awhile, and found that man named
Owen King we'll known to the people OF this
section of the county had been seen gong out Of
the lot that day, and we charge him with
the act. We don't propose to make much fuss
over this matter until about Christmas day
when, if said turkey is still found on our premi-
ses, we shall slay and eat him. Not being an
holder, we harbor no ill-will against our
friend King, land must set it down as delicate
act of friendship.

MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT III IS IN c0ntenpla-
ton by the Trustees of the two Districts to give
Concert or nusical entertainment at Neilsburg
School house, for the benefit of Christian Valley
and Neilsburg Schools. In consequence of de-
linquent taxes of two years standing, and the
new School law not being in force for this rev.
enue year, many of our less populous School
Districts are short of means, and have to resort
to parties of this kind to keep their schools in
operation. These are praiseworthy efforts, and
should be seconded by all classes of the commu-
nifty. We hope when this party comes off that
it may be literally patronized and highly remu-
nerative.
lSince the above was in type, we learn that the
Concert will take place on next Friday evening
and that the entertainment will consist of Vocal
and instrumental music, under the direction of

what had become of her. Her room was exam

to the suspicion that she had been murdered, and
the scrubbing had been resorted to to remove all
