Singular Phensmensa In New Jersoy
-ImmenSo Caves In tho Earth.

New YORK, June 23.-The bottom
Is dropping out Of the State Of New
Jersey. In Warren county during
the past few days. number Of deep
holes have been suddenly made by the
earth sinking down into some fearful,
unknown subterranean depths. The
first noticed was In the bottom Of Nor
ris and Essex Canal, on the seven-mile
level, between, Broadway and New
Village. All the water In the canal
went down that hole ; then half a
dozen more holes opened In the corn
fields and woods, taking down into the
bowels Of the earth great patches OF
corn, and even sinking trees out Of
sight. In addition to this there IRE
scores of great, long, deep assures.
.On Wednesday night another big hole
opened In the canal. Rambling noises
were heard under the Methodist Church
OIL Broadway, and nobody viii ven
ture into the building for fear OF its
going down. The most intense ex-
element prevails among the people,
who deem any given spot Of land In
the country liable to plunge through
half way to China at any moment.
The price of real estate has naturally
gone down, as the real estate has It
self. The Morris and Essex Canal Is
entirely ruined. Its course must be
altogether changed to avoid this dis.
trict, If it Is Intended to hold water
enough for a sunflsh to float In.

The INDIANS IN AMzoSA.-Commis-
sioner Ely 5. Parker has just written
a letter to the Secretary Of the Interior,
In reference to the reported serious dis
turbanceSin New Mexico and Arizona,
between the Indians and the whites Of
those regions. Commissioner Parker
recommends that the Board Of Volun-
tary Indian Commissioners be request
ed to send one Of their number to Ari-
IONA to cooperate with the military
authorities In their efforts to collect
and locate the Apaches on the White
Mountain Reservation. He also recon-
mends that under the direction OF the
President the appropriation Of $4,000
made by the last Congress, be expended
in collecting the ApacheS Of Arizona
and New Mexico upon reservations
and In furnishing them with subsist-
ence and necessary articles, and in pro-
noting peace and civilization among
them. The Secretary Of War has also
been notified Of the measures proposed,
and has been requested to cooperate
in the plan. 1t Is stated that about
one month ago n similar plan was pro-
posed BY the Board Of Voluntary Indian
Commissioners. but thatln consequence
of the disturbed condition Of the coun-
try, the agent was instructed to delay
his Journey 10 New Mexico. G.

Overland Dispatches
SPECIAL to the GOLD HILL NEWS
DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE E.

W.smSoroS, June 26.-The official
relations between Secretary Boutwell,
and Commissioner Pleasonton seem to
be approaching q crisis. The trouble
chiefly arises from n misunderstand-
inc rs to the limit Of the
mower Of tho latter In managing
his Department. Pleasanton doubted
the legal right of the Secretary to III
terfere in the settlement Of the New
York Central case, Notwithstanding
the opinion of the Solicitor Of the De-
partment. The first open conflict &C.
Cured the past day or two in regard to
an entirely different matter. On FRI
day last, P~leasanton awarded a contract
for furnishing paper for the new
whiskey, beer and tobacco stamps to a
Connecticut firm. The award IS said
to have been made without consulting
the Secretary Of the Treasury, who
disapproved Of the paper and the
manner Of awarding the contract, as
he thinks the bids Of other companies
who have heretofore faithfully fulfilled
contract, was not duly considered. The
Secretary, therefore, annulled the con-
tract. Pleasanton Is d~ispleased with
the S%ecretary's action.

SAN FRANCISCO UNANIMOUSLY FOR
SELBY.-Mr. Selby carried the city
Yesterday by storm. The city is en-
titled to siXty-two delegates, and the
sixty-two delegates are to q man for
Sel6y. This Is the first time in its
history that any party has gone with
such overwhelming force for any can
didate for office. Mr.. Selby may we'll
be proud of the flattering endorsement
which he has just received at the hands
Of his fellow-citizens. Faithfulness in
the service Of the people does not al
ways 90 without reward. The friends
of Mr.. Booth fought with frantic en-
ergy, but they could not carry a dis
trict or elect n man. The fragments
of the old Ring" got themselves
together and ranged themselves under
his banner. They worked with the
desperation of drowning men in the
Fourth and Ninth Wards. They were
for a~nti-subsidy and all the cardinal
virtues ut once. With an exuberant
patriotism they made common cause
with the Sacramento Union and Booth,
and got laid out In their own strong
holds. San Francisco Is sure for 1000
majority for Selby In the event Of his
nomination by the Republican State
Convention for the Office Of Governor.

tractive drug stores in those cities on

Of the City Court in Brooklyn has put
a stop to this traffic, unless where the
druggist has taken out a regular license

Gov. SrANFoRD's HoRsE.-At Sac
ramento, last Saturday, at the Agricul-
tural Park, Yankee Smith, the trainer
Of Gov. Stanford's celebrated horse
Charley, brought him out upon the
track and made the circuit of the track
three times, averaging a:a6 to the mile,
and made the whole course without
skip or break. The horse is an exceed
ingly fine looking animal, n little over
fifteen hands, and weighs about $50
pounds, q cross between a chestnut
brown and a sorrel. His limbs are re-
markedly clear and without blemish.
Ills speed has developed enormously
and his temper greatly improved. For
merry he was very vicious, and consid-
cred a confirmed kicker, but ut present
any person can enter his stall and pet
him as they please. All spoke in high
praise Of his many fine turf attributes.

but a set of men supplied with arms IN

By malice, is something to be feared,
as well as something not to be quietly
submitted to. The Interests Of Pioche

ed proceedings such as Is threatened IN

mittee under any circumstances Is bad
enough, but II this revengeful clique Is
permitted to perfect an organization
and arm themselves In q manner 1t Is
evident they intend to do, all acts OF
violence hitherto committed will be but
slight and trivial offences in compari-
son to what will be here enacted. We
would call the attention of u officers
to this high-handed attempt against
the peace Of this community, and rec
ommend the seizure of these arms i'm
mediately OH their arrival, for harm is
meant. If Phoebe Is ever to be classed
among the prosperous towns OF Nevada
acts OF violence must cease, aud no man
or set of men, whose ruling traits of

ing" should be permitted to proceed

sons to take charge of it.-Pioche Re

The SUFFER- CREEK DISTURBANCE
By the dispatches in another column
from one of the editors Of the Ahd
accompanying Governor Haight to
Suffer Greek. 1t will be seen that the
miners have been encouraged by the
yacillation Of the Governor, and they
have again assumed the offensive, rem:
derlng it necessary to order forward
the troops. 1t is not likely that the
riot can now be suppressed without a
collision, and so loss Of life as well MS
damage to property will follow as re.
suits Of the temporizing policy adopted
by the Executive. One of the leaders
became defiant after hearing the speech
Of Governor Haight, and argued the
rejection of the proposition submitted
by him as coming from the mine
owners. The troops will arrive OIL the
ground this morning, to protect the
mine-owners in pumping out the mines,
aud we will probably have exciting
news during the day, for 1t does not
seem possible that n collision can be
avoided.-S. F, Altd, Sunday morning.

The grape growers Of the United
States, It Is argued, follow the process
ses of the culture Of the vine in Europe
too closely. Thus the excessive prun-
ing Of the French vine districts, prac-
ticed here, it is believed cripples scri-
ously the productive power Of the
American grapes. A recent traveller
through the wine growing countries
of Europe, after careful observation,
resolved to vary the treatment, and
now raises Ills trelliSses to the height
OF twelve feet, and trains his vines 60
as to produce the greatest fruitage at
the top of the trellis. The result OF
this method showed that the elevation
OF the branches from the ground, and
their greater exposure to tho sun,
secured the grapes from rot and mil
dew, while those diseases to n consid-
cradle extent affected the neighboring
vines treated according to the old
method.
