On THE WAR PATH.-A few mornings
ago, as we learned yesterday from gem
tleman whose business required him to
rise with the lark, if not sooner, there
came near being a man for breakfast, in
defiance of law and without fear of the
Vigilance Committee. Some irate indi-
vidual, inspired by liberal rotations of
tangle-foot and smarting under the LASH
ing he had received the night before in
an unequal combat with the "tiper,"
was the hero of the incident we are about
to relate. This individual, with huge
knife in one hand, WAS in hot pursuit of
another man, who was making the best
time OF which we have any account in
this part of the country. Gaining ground
upon his luckless victim, the latter, with
the instinct of self-preservation upper
most in his mind, darted into saloon
which happened to be open at that hour;
but his pursuer was not thus to be baf-
fed, and into the saloon he followed.
Here the danger of bloody termination
became imminent, as there was no way
Of escape through the back door, but for
tunately another actor entered upon the
scene-one who had been enjoying (if
We may be allowed the expression) q
troubled sleep on u bench. Aroused by
the unusual noise. he comprehended the
situation at a glance. In the interest of
humanity and good order. the last named
individual drew his revolver and COM
manded the peace. His persuasive ap-
al nd ha 4 T. Al,
said he would arrest the turbulent indi-
vidual, and he did so, although the other
protested against it. The conservator of
the peace was about delivering his priso-
ner to an officer, when friends OF the
prisoner interceded, and upon his SOL
emn promise that he would not further
modest his intended victim, he was al
lowed to go his way The timely iuter-
ference OF the peace maker doubtless de-
prlved the Coroner of fee and the UNI
dertaker of a job. 1t is well that such
was the case. Let lis have peace!"
The INCORPORATION B1LL-An erro.
neous impression seems to prevail in re.
gard to few of the provisions of the
bill for the incorporation Of Phoebe. II
our synopsis of the bill, it was stated
that no debt which in the aggregate
should amount to $40, 900 should be con
trated by the city. To have sale
debts " instead of "debt" would have
made the matter clearer and left no doub
that 1t is the intention of the bill to re
strict the Council to an aggregate Of $40,
100 in contracting debt or debts in behalf
OF the city. Any debt or debts which il
the aggregate exceed the sum of SIC, 00(
would be invalid and void under til,
provisions Of the proposed bill. In re
gard to deputies which certain officer
are allowed to appoint, it is but props
TO Say that these deputies are providet
Tor so that in case of q temporary alb
sence of any such officer the duties de
,yolving upon him could be performed b,
his deputy. .5.3 ~
PAY Your ToLI.--The toll road Of
NJ. Parker extends from Hammond
Wells, 10 miles north of Phoebe, runnin
on nearly straight line, in north
westerly direction, about 40 miles, to
point where the same will intersect til
old road between Patterson and Shingl
springs, in Nye county. A cutoff of l
or IL miles is made, and the road run
over level country, instead of mour
famous road, as the old one is. Tw
teamsters refused or neglected the othe
Jay to pay toll, and were followed us b
farker, who instituted suit before Jus
uce Stoutenburgh yesterday. After tn
papers We're served, the defendants cam
before the Court, and after canvassin
!he matter paid $50 each, instead Of 81. 2
IN the first place. A toll keeper can &
rom one county to another and sue fo
.oli. 1t would be we'll for teamsters I
note these facts, and remember that it
'c0eaper to pay toll on demand.

auction, on Tuesday next, at the res
aence of F. Soule, Meadow Valley stree
