Mr.. BoNNIFIELD A DEFAULTER.-It
is always painfully task for us to record
the fact at man upon whom we had
looked as good ard honest citizen, has
fallen from his high estate, and given ev-
idence Of undoubted rascality. Mr.. Bon
nifeld, Treasurer of this County has left
this place under circumstance forbidding a
single doubt that it was his deliberate in
tentlon to defraud the State and County
out of certain monies in his hands by virtue
of his office. He is, we are informed. a
defaulter to the State and County to the
amount Of two or three thousand dollars.
A few hours after certain persons, whose
names were upon his official bond, heard of
his departure, an officer was dispatched
after him, but upon the last accounts had
not been able TO catch him. Mr.. B. was
worth considerable money, and therefore
could have been impelled to this Infamous
step by no other motive than dishonest
eoveting OF property not his own.
JOHN CHINAMAN.-Among the rush of
miners into our county from almost every
section of the State, attracted hither by the

the past week quite number of these

brella- hated, and otherwise uniquely attir-

with shovel, pick and pan. Occasionally
one of them may be seen with a gun across
his shoulder, and Colts Revolver slung
to his side-a quiet but most exeruciating-
ly apt burlesque upon the habit that many
Californians have fallen into, OF going full
armed in every place and upon all occasions.
CAYorEs.-The last few nights have
been made hideous by the howlings of cay
otes. Upon the surrounding hills, in con-
nection with the dogs in town, they howl
and bark through the liyelong night, a SER
enade in notes composing strain not quite
so pleasant to the ear as that so beautii ully
described by Milton when speaking of "a
winding bout of linked sweetness" We
presume we are indebted to the snow for
this rare musical treat.
A Coop SIGN.-We are happy to con-
