HoMIcIDE.-It pans us to chronicle terrible
and fatal affray which occurred here on Wednes-
day evening last in which James Costello was
suddenly killed by John Leach 1t seems that
some disagreement about partnership in
mining claim on the Banvard place below town
has existed, but of this we will not speak About
sundown, on Wednesday last, the two men met
on Auburn Turnpike, in front of Robert Gordon's
barn, Leach having cane, which afterwards
proved to be sword cane, in his hand, and Cos
tello dinner bucket, and when first seen by
Moses FREEDOM, from his blacksmith shop, were
making passes at each other-Costello striking,
and Leach thrusting. FREEDOM thought it at
first only fun, but in a moment saw it was an
angry fght, and ran "a distance of some forty
yards) to separate them, and caught one with
one hand and the other with the other, and at
that moment Costello bent forward, saying: my
God, am q dead man, and fell TO the ground,
FREEDOM protecting or easing the fall, and never
moving afterwards. AS he fell the blood gushed
from his mouth. Costello had the cane whit h
had served for the sword or dagger sheath.
Leach was very bloody and was badly beaten
about the head. Leach went to the Sheriff7s
Office and surrendered himself. Coroner Jamison
held an inquest over the body Of Costello. when
it was found that he was pierced in three separate
places, in the region Of the heart, one or more
having evidently penetrated it. which was the
cause of instant death. Both these men reside
in town and have families-Costello leaving a
mourning widow, and Leach the husband OF an
sgonizing wife and the father Of five children.
We forbear further details as the matter will
undergo judicial investigation

DIED.

In Auburn, July Goth, 1870, James Costello, q
native of Ireland, aged 40 years.
Near Lincoln, July 18Th James H. son Of
John Q. and Margaret Z. Whaley, aged / year,
10 months and 10 days.
At Black Diamond, Contra Costa county, July
9th, 1870 Mr.. Austin Jessup, aged 60 years and
and days, a native of Newark WAYNE county,
New York, but had resided several years at Har-
Dor Creek, Erie county, Pennsylvania, before
coming to California.
The death of man ripe in the honors of pub
lie life is often the occasion Of much lamentaton
and outpouring grief The press teens with Gu
logy and mourning becomes general, but there is
not the poignancy of sorrow that mark in the
narrow circle OF the family the demise of good
man who lays down life of usefulness and fin
ishes, in triumphant death, an existence of self
sacrifice and entire devotion to those immediate
ly surrounding him. No one can palate with
words or tears the intense, unuterable woe Of
children who weep father lost. Whose whole
life has been one of devotion for their comfort
and happiness. / had the pleasure and privil-
eye of knowing the departed well in his lifetime
no more upright, conscientious and enterprisng
man ever lived than Mr.. Jessup, but he is gone
W 'hI' uh'uSCoNeieu COUNTY, lIoi whose BOURNE
no traveller returns. His children and grand
children all arrived in time to follow his remains
to their last resting place on the banks of the
beautiful San Joaquin river, far from his native
home. Peace be to his ashes.
Mr.. Jessup met his death by accident whilst
standing near pile of grain the upper tier fell
and he was caught by some of the falling sacks
and was supposed to have been instantly killed.

PARAGON MNI.-Tlis has been and is still
the richest and most permanent mine ever work
ed il this county and manifests no sign Of weak
cniug. 1t has been worked to a distance Of g.
500 feet into the mountain, at which point it is
about 45O feet below the surface. OF late great
deal of trouble has been experienced from bad
airand shaft has been run up from the bottom
about 25o feet, and survey is now being made
to determine the point of commencing the shaft
on the surface to connect with the lower one
and thus furnish pure fresh air. and healthy
draft through the mine. The claim is at Bath
on the Forest Hill divide, and is the property of
Messrs. Breeze & Wheeler. Several interests in
the mine have been bought by the above gentle
men within the past few years at pro rata rates
Of about 500 900 for the mine. The owners
are not blowers about their mine and we are not
sure they will thank US for even this short no
tice.

BURGLARIoUs ROBBERY. - Sometime during
Wednesday night last, some law-defying, pilfer-
ing scamp burglariously entered the depot saloon
of Mahon & Curley, at the r. r. station, and
robbed the money drawer of some $1G0 in coin,
and made safe retreat Thomas Cane was in
charge of the saloon, both the proprietors being
at Colfax, and had closed and secured all the
fastenings usual. Connected with the saloon
is large stone vault, constructed as cooling
apartment in lieu of a cellar A small grating
was incased in the east wall for purposes of air
and light and the burglar had commenced at the
bottom of this grating, and dug hole through
the wall large enough to enter and commit the
robbery We believe no clue to the perpetrator
has as yet been discovered.
