A fellow named Donks WAS lately
tried at Yuba, CAL, for entering q
miners tent and stealing n bag OF
gold-dust valued at oighty-four dol
lars. The testimony showed that
he had once been employed there,
ana knew exactly where the owner
kept his dust, and on the night
specified he cut slit in the tent,
reached in, took the bag, and ran
off. The principal witness testified
that he saw tho hole cut, saw the
man reach in, and heard him run
away.
81 rushed after him atonce," con-
tinued the witness, "but when |
catched him didn't find Bills bag,
but found it afterwards where he
had thrown it,"
"How far did he get in when he
took the dust ?" inquired tho coun-
sci.
"Well, he was stoopin' over half
way in, | should say" replied the
witness.
"May it please your Honor" in
terposed the counsel, "tho indict-
ment isn't sustained and / shall de-
mand an acquittal on direction Of
the court. The prisoner is on trial
for entering dwelling in the night
time, with intent to steal. The
testimony is clear that he made an
opening through which he protru-
ded himself about halfway, and
stretched out his arms and com
mitted tho theft. But the indict-
ment charges that he actually enter
ed the tent OF dwelling.-Now, your
Honor, can q man enter house
when only one.half of his body is
in and the other-half out2"
81 shall leave the whole matter
to the jury. They must judge of
the law, and the fact is proved, "
replied the judge.
The jury brought in a verdict of
"Guilty as to one-half Of his body,
and not guilty as to the other-half"
The judge sentenced the guilty
part to two years imprisonment,
leaving it to the prisoners option
TO have the innocent part cut off, or
take it along with him.

Sales yesterday we're 25OO, the market
closing exceedingly firm, with an adj
vance Of ic in New York and a firmer
feeling in Liverpool. To-day the former
market is strong, with the advance fully
maintained and the latter steady, with
an advance of Lied, which has so
elevated the views Of factors that
none care to sell without realizing
the full advance. This buyers refuse to
give, asserting that the price here is too
high comparatively, and many have
withdrawn from the market. Sales up
