STAGE TRAVELLING IN CALIFoRNIA.-Th
gives the following:
"The stage running between this city and
Murphy's was robbed again this morning, and
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express box captured. The
account, as received from the driver, Billy Cut
ter, is about as follows: He left San Andreas
about fifteen minutes before tive O'Clock this
morning, and had proceeded about a mile in the
direction of Stockton, when he was halted by a
man on the side of the hill, who said he wished
to get on the stage. Billy pulled up, and the
fellow came down and commenced unDuttonng
the curtains of the stage.
Gas soon as could look inside, he remarked
that he would have the stare all to himself as
there were no passengers, to which the driver
said yes, he was lucky in that respect. just then
the team started up, and some one sad: 4
wouldn't 20 yet Looking around, Billy saw a
man on each side of him, with a shotgun pre-
sented at his head. They ordered him to pass
out the express box, and told him to wait a few
minutes and they would hand it back to him.
One Of the robbers then commenced pounding
the box with Ratchet, remarking that it APP
peared very solid, to which Billy answered that
the company made them strong to keep such
fellows out of them.
"0ne Of the party asked Billy if he had any
money; he said yes he had $3.50 or $780, he
could not tell the amount. Robber said he must
shell out, which he did, and found the sum to
be $3.50. He told Billy to take off his boots, as
one of his fellows was almost barefooted Billy
explained that it was rather rough to leave
man there in the rain without boots and the
brake to manage The robber said he would
give him the fellows old ones, which Billy re-
fused to put on, until induced to do so through
the persuasion Of the shotgun. Meantime the
barefooted boy tried to get Billy's boots on, but
could not, and they were given back to him.
They demanded his watch, but on his explain
ing that il was a present from his mother they
said
"'Well you are pretty good fellow, and out
of respect to your mother, you may keep the
watch
"While this part of the play was going on
the other man had been pounding at the express
box with the Ratchet, and finding he could not
open it, he told Billy he had concluded to keep
the box and he might drive on. The driver
does not know the value of the contents of the
box"

The Louisville Courier-Journal is one of the
most influential papers in the southwest, and in
Kentuclsy especially its political influence has
been very great. Ii has been a democratic
paper of late years, and its course has been gem
orally satisfactory to the party, although its
wing traditions and the independence of its
editors have led it now and then to give some
occasions Of disrust to the party leaders. OF
late It's course has become alarmingly eccentric
An extract that we lately copied from its col
umns, referring to the fear and hatred of popu-
lar education instnchvely felt by all democrats.
in that region at least is an illustration of its
unpleasant propensity to tell dsagreeable truths.
This and other recent utterances, criticisiug Sc
Verely some of the members and transactions of
the democratic party, have so thoroughly
alarmed the political leaders in that
state that they have concluded that
a more trustworthy democratic organ must
be established there. A new paper will there
fore be started in Louisville, with Paul r. Ship
man, an old friend Of the late George d. Prem
tiee, as editor-in-chief. This will not probably
make the Courier-Journal less independent or
less ready TO criticize anything in the party
management that deserves criticism, nor will its
circulation or influence be greatly impaired.

ITEMS FROM NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Feb. Cit is understood that
Gen. Schenck has been summoned to Washing
ton at the urgent request Of Minister Thornton
and Sir John Rose who have assured Mr.. Fish
that they are authorized by the British govern
ment to say tina: in the interest ofgood feeling the
Dominion authorities have been instructed per-
emptorlly at once to restore the license system
to our fishermen, so as to give them practically
the rights and privileges pertaining to the in
shore fisheries of the coasts of British North
America. This concession is to be made with
out conditions, and evidently in the expectation
that it may lead TO such amicable relations as
will the more readily pave the way for a salts
factory reopening ofthe Alabama question upon
Gen. Schencl1s advent in England. In order to
get forced acquiescence of Canada, delay of
some three weeks in Gen. SChenck's departure
has been asked for by the English agents, as
the Canadian official organ at Ottawa hercely
denies the right of England to interfere in the
fisheries in opposition to the wishes of the Cana
dams themselves, and declares that the freedom
Of the fisheries will never be aSsented to unless
by an equivalent in the shape of a reciprocity
treaty. Some doubts are expressed In official
circles here as to the ability of Thornton and
Sir John Rose to keep their promise. Mean
time the committee on foreign relations, in
both houses, are taking no action on the fishery
question pending the promised settlement.

POLICE CoURr.-There was a very
full audience at yesterdays session OF
the Police Court, and the docket showed
a positive improvement over anything
we have had for the past two weeks
Jacob Watson and Barney Moran got
into a dispute at a picnic, on the Island
last Saturday, which ended in Moran
striking Watson. Both were arrested
On hearing of the case, Judge Good
fined Moran $40 and costs and dis
missed the complaint against Watson.
Michael Dorsey had a difficulty with
some one on Saturday. The case was
settled on the payment Of costs.
Simon Framing was lordly drunk
on Saturday night on John street. In
stead of going home when directed to
do so by an officer, he got obstreperous
and noisy. 81 and costs or ten days
was the penalty.
That highly artistic and valuable
member of the gilt-edged fraternity of
galoots, Jabez Gosney, was taken about
5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, from
Main street, in a highly fluid state Of
drunkenness. In default Of 81 and the
costs, Jabe will celebrate the Fourth
with the other students at the geological
academy and remain at it ten days.
His Royal Highness Tobus Cornelius
Tobias lobe Vance was found decolette,
as the French say, in the Second Ward
market house. He was also very drunk.
lobe had no money to squander in the
payment of 81 and costs, so he goeth
with his friend Jabe to the Academy
where he hath been selected to deliver
the Fourth Of July Grafton to-day. He
has decided to remain with Prof Price
for twenty days.
Wesley Drake was goose enough to
get drank on Saturday and lay himself
out on the pavement, corner Of Madison
and Main. 81 and costs was the price
Of it.
Alfred Winesburg was gathered in off
the sidewalk, near Eckhart's saloon, on
Saturday. He was so drunk that he
laid on his back and felt up for the
ground. His bill was 81 and costs or
ten days.

DAMAGE IN THE EIGHTH WARD
HOUSES UNRO0FED.
Wheat Shocks Leveled with the
Earth.

About two o'clock yesterday afternoon
the Southern portion Of the city was
visited by terrible storm Of wind and
rain.
The storm struck the house OF Mr.
Martin, taking the roof off of it as slick
as a whistle.
Chimneys and trees were blown down
with the violence Of the storm, and
fences were laid fiat.
The windows OF the German Luther
an church were blown in, and there was
danger for while Of the roof being blown
off, but it was fortunately able to with
stand the fury Of the tempest. We
have no means of estimating the dam
age done, but it must have been very
considerable.
The rain fell in torrents and in very
short time Caldwell's run was booming
full, and was conveying to the river
shocks of wheat, fence rails, wagon
beds, hay and other property, showing
that the damage up the run must have
been very considerable.
The towboat Star with five or six
barges was blown from her moorings
to the other side Of the river. She
was in great danger for awhile, but by
prompt action on the part Of those on
board she was saved.
The storm in the upper part Of the
city, was of very little force. 1t did not
even rain hard and very few people last
night knew that it had fallen 30 des-
tructively in South Wheeling.
We learned late last night that the
wheat shocks on the farms below the
city and in Marshall county had all
been blown down, that the growing
corn had been fattened to the earth
and a great deal of damage done by
the hurricane.
