Letter from French GuIch.

Nh. 1EDIToR:-The coincidence man.
spoken of in sthe COURIER, graced our
locality with his presence a short time since.
While here he represented himself as a
quartz miner from Grass Valley. After
visiting some of the ledges, and making
enquiries about business men and their sue
cess, he skedaddled for parts unknown, sur
missing, no doubt, that he was closely watch
ed. lie is what l would call New. York
:. Sharp" haiing from Oswego county in
that STATE. Hc is evidently pretty well
posted on general topics. The color of his
hair is not black as stated in the COURIER,
but brown, and his>wLiskers are rather on
the red order. He is 20 years old, about
a feet A inches in height, and | should
judge would way $50 pounds. His assum-
ed name while here was q Mosher" (No
Kin to our landlord.) Mr. "Mosher" was
particularly down on the hog thieves
as he deAominated the farmers of Western
Shasta. 1t is thought by some that he i:
one of gang of. thieves, and is on pros.
pecting tour. Perhaps it would be well to
look him up and make him give an account
of himself. But enough under this head
We are having rather dry winter SC
far, and the miners around here who are at
work are scaLt of water, and some are still
waiting for it to rain. East Fork is getting
to be quite mining camp again, and we
may expect to hear of big chunks being
found in that locality A thirteen ounce
nugget was lately found in Dutch Gulch,
by a couple Of miners working there whose
names have not learned. This Gulch
has been considered worked out.
Mr.. John Morell met with quite Sc
rious accident on the 22nd of January |
am told that number of men was at his
house, and after imbibing quite freely of
his " innocent" wine, got into dispute,
and Mr.. NJ stepping between two belliger-
ents, received kick which broke both
bones of his left leg just above the ankle.
DR.. Plumb set the limb, and he is now
doing well. DR.. P. is highly spoken of as
bone-setter," and if any of your readers
don't believe it, just let them break leg
and call on the DR.. to adjust it.
Western Star Division, No. SO, S. of T.,
organized here April 8, 1868, surrendered
its Charter at the close of 1869, with near
ly $40 in the treasury Its dimise was
brought on by the acts of some of its own
members of whom better things were ex-
pected. 1t is admitted on all hands that
the Division has accomplished great good,
and that it has made sober men of some,
who probably will continue so through life.
Our public school is processing finely
under the tutorships of Rev R. S. Crosby,
a minister of the Congregational Church.
A purse of about $50 was presented to the
gentleman by some of his friends on New

A FEMALE CATTLE THIEF.-In the
persistent clamor for her rights" woman
is displaying her aptitude for many of the
rascally acts hitherto confined to the male
white. Mrs Susie Raper has made her
appearance as an expert cattle thief; and
we have been told that she can throw the
riettta and lasso an animal with the dex-
terity of an experienced vaquero. 1t ap-
pears that she has been living in Pine
Valley, in Eiko county, where she and her
confederates have been engaged in stealing
cattle and slaughtering them. The depre-
dations of this band have been extensive.
The particular offense for which Mrs Susie
Raper has been pursued and arrested, was
stealing cattle from a person living on the
South Fork of the Humboldt river, none
of which have yet been recovered. She
and her accomplices have been objects OF
sollcitude to the authorities of Elko county
for some time, and she has fallen into the
clutches of the law at last. She was fol
lowed by Deputy Sheriff Smith of Carlin,
and Murphy of Elko, who overlook her
and her accomplice in Grass Valley, in
this county. Her male companion made
his escape. When the officers were about
to arrest Mrs Susie Raper, she drew her
revolver and threatened to shoot. She
surrendered, however, and was brought
into this city on Sunday, and taken to the
National Bank lodging house, where
Deputy Sheriff Smith said he would sleep
in the same room with her to prevent her
escaping. In the course of yesterday she
was taken to the city station house, where
she was kept until the departure Of the
stage for Argenta, on which she left in
charge of Deputy Sheriff Smith for Carlin
