SENSATIONAL. ARREsT.-The sensation
of yesterday here in Gold Hill was
the examination Of n woman arrested
on Saturday evening dressed in mems
clothes. The case Is briefly as follows A:
Marie Susie is 4 French woman, who
represents that she has from choice
worn masculine habilimentS for twenty
years, and strongly desires to continue
doing So. Recently coming to this
State, and being about TO open an es-
Enlistment ut Virginia for the sale Of
California wines, she wished to be pro-
tected against arrest for dressing in
male attire, against which there is 4
city ordinance. With her petition to
the Board of Aldermen she sent 4 doc
ument bearing the signature of the
Clerk of the District Court Of Amador
county, California. which was given
her to serve rs n protection against ar
rest, and which speaks of her rs an i'll
dustrious and virtuous woman, and
one possessed Of considerable real cS-
tate in that county. With this docu-
ment, which is certified to and coun-
tersigned by the French Consul ut san
Francisco, it appears that she made q
trip to France and other countries in
Europe. The document states that
she first adopted male attire in the
year 1850. upon her arrival in Cali
fornia, and that, not finding anything
to 10 in san Francisco, and not wish
ing to lead 4 life of prostitution, she
dressed in mems clothes and went to
work in the mines, where she made
money enough to start in business.
She gave bail on Saturday evening for
her appearance, and on examination
yesterday before Justice Cook she pre-
scented in defense the considerations
above stated. The charges brought
against her were peddling without n
license. and misdemeanor in being
found dressed In mems clothing. After
due and lenient consideration Of the
matter in all its various bearings
women's rights included-Judge Cook
discharged the prisoner.
SATISFACTORY PREsESTNTIoN.-Even-
ing before last the festive members OF
Liberty Engine Company No. l had
a capital good time at their hall. the
occasion being the presentation of two
splendid firemen's hats and belts to
First Assistant Foreman W. II. Isaac,
and Second Assistant w. Il. Simpson.
The hats are of the forty cone style,
painted red like the other hats of the
company, and the fronts and orna-
mental appointments are reilly ele-
cant. rs well as neat and substantial.
There are no finer hats in the state,
and the same may be said Of the belts.
They can be seen at Gibson q Gross
saloon, Main street. They are from
the famous fire equipment manufac-
tory Of Cairns Il Brother, New York,
successors to ii. Gratacap. The pre-
~sentation and reception speeches were
remarkable for practical eloquence on
both sides, brevity being considered
the soul of wit. 1t is perhaps unneces-
sary to state that there was plenty of
good singing, good speeches, and good
fellowship generally on this jolly occa-
sion, or that more or less wine and
other generous beverages were made
use OF. The hats and belts were pres
ents from personal friends Of the two
well pleased and deserving recipients,
and could not have been more worthily
bestowed.
CURE FOR BED BUGs.-"Aunt Hat

following, which we clip for the BEN

found to be disagreeably abundant.

times during the first summer, and
about three times during the second
