"A Mr.. j. X. Fisher who recently returned
to San Francisco from Lower California says
that the gold mines of San Rafael Valley are
very rich, and that, to his certain knowledge,
one of the prOprietors bad been in the habit of
pounding ont from one to three pounds of the
precious metal daily.
St Louis was recently excited in conse-
euence of report that native of New Orleans,
resident in that city, had died of yellow fever.
On investigation 1t was found that death had
occurred from congesrive intermittent fever,
which gives yellowish hue to the skin.
"A very delicate operation was recently per-
formed upon man thirty years of age, at
Spring field, Mass, for cancer of the left upper
jaw. 1t comprised an exsection of the entire
lett side, and part of the right side of the jaw,
together with the stable of the left eye. The
patient is doing well.
Birmingham, Pa, and its suburbs support
seventy-four taverns, forty-nine Saloons eight
wholesale liquor stores, and eight houses
where liquor is sold in conjunction with dry

"A willy scoundrel at Troy recently procured
a warrant for the arrest of his wife, after having
beaten her so badly that she was compelled
TO seek protection and shelter at the police
station.
"A young woman of Harvard, Mass, finding
that her husband had another wife living, sought

THE RESULT IN PENNSYL VANIA.
From the A. Y World.
For so careful and shrewd a politician,
Senator Cameron made great mistake on
the subject of the election when he tele-
graphed the President that Pennsylvania is
right side up" In the light of the official
returns We see that his side and that of
Grant were never down SO low in that great
State.
The successes which have been obtained
there by the Democratic party this fall are
the more remarkable from the fact that in
the present campaign they were almost with
out organization and discipline. There seems
to have been no efficient central committee,
and each candidate made the contest on his
own account. Some of the election returns
are full OF interest.
In the Sixteenth district b. F. Meyers,
free-trade Democrat, succeeds John Cessna,
the most INSCRIPTIONS member of that noto-
rious Committee of Elections by whose action
so many DEMOCRATS have of late years lost
the seats to which the people had elected
them. In spirited contest on direct issue
of free trade and protection, the official
majority against Cessna in that formerly Re-
publican district is thirteen votes and this
notwithstanding the fact that Cessna's forces
were increased by about a thousand negro
voters.
X. Milton speer, Democrat, is elected over
