An Immense Fraud.

Early in 1914 the bank of England, and,
in fact, the whole Stock Exchange, were
victimized, by "bull" fraud that rivals
in its magnitude, and certainly in its dar-
ing, the most famous of our Wall street
corners, not excepting even that of "Black
Friday" England was almost exhausted
by her terrible fifteen years. struggle with
Napoleon, and tottered on the verge of
revolution and financial ruin. The sue
cessful military operations which had
checked the last grand coalition had added
to the deep anxiety and depressed the
funds to an alarming extent. Of a sudden
there was a tremendous rally. Consols
rose with jump, and the transfers of q
single day were greater than those of
months previous. The transactions on
Change were of such magnitude that the
nimble fingers of the clerks could scarcely
find time to record them. The cause Of
the excitement was this: On the 2lst OF
February, about / O'Clock in the morning,
q violent knocking was heard at the door
of the Ship Inn, at Dover. The intruder
announced himself as Lieutenant Colonel
Duboug, aid-de-camp of Lord Cathcart.
His richly embroidered uniform, his stars,
orders, gold lace, ETC., supported the as
sertion, and the. salt spray which wetted
him confirmed his story that he had bribed
a French smuggler to bring him across
the Strait. His news was important. Ma
poleon had been slain In battle, and the
allied armies were In Paris.
The widest excitement was produced.
The news was forwarded to London, and
spread like wildfire. Stocks and consols
rose with tremendous rapidity, and Sc
curities which had been bought by the
perpetrators of the job on Saturday for
some 5000, 900, sold OH Monday for fully
SIS, 00O, 900. The crash followed speedily,
and the banks and Exchange awoke to the
fact that they had been ''bulled" out of
over 2,0O0, 600. Investigation implicated
In the fraud some of the leading nobility,
Including Lord Cochrane, one of England's
most gallant naval officers. - Cincinnati

An Eccentric Governor.

One of the aueerest old fellows among
the first settlers in Boston was Gov. BEL
lingham. There are many curious stories
fold about him. but the most singular Is
that respecting his marriage. Ii is related
by Gov. Winthrop in his diary, and was
written at the time the affair took place.
Bellinoha:n was Governor of the colony
of Massachusetts Bay in 16il. lie was
fifty wears old. There was then young
lady in Boston named Penelope Pelham.
who was twenty-five years OF age, anu
was engaged to be married to young
man. who was friend of the Governor,
and lived in the Governors house.
Ry what arts we know not, but IT Is
certain that the Governor persuaded Miss
Penelope that he loved her best, and so.
one day, while the young man supposed
that his sweetheart was true to him, the
Governor and the young lady were mar
rieG. But the singular part of it was, that
as the Governor wanted to keep his little
affair secret, and perhaps because he could
think of no clergyman to whom he dared
apply to perform the ceremony, he mar
ried himself!
We may imagine the old Governor
standing UP before himself and Miss Pei
ham. and going through the service in the
old Puritan style.

BULLION SHIPMENTS FOR 1872.

Wells, Fargo & Co. have given us a
statement of the amount Of bullion
shipped by them from Phoebe for the
year ending December 81, 1872, showing
the whole amount to be S5,276, 724.17.
This is the amount shipped by Wells,
Fargo Il Co., and of course does not in
clude the entire product of the mines of
Ely District. 1t shows an average ship
ment of over SOL, ATS per week. For
the preceding year, ending December 81,
1871, the shipments from this place by
Wells, Fargo x Co. amounted to 49,
106, 2G492. There was therefore an in
crease in the shipments in 1872 over that
of 1871 of 50, 40, 1926, or but frac-
ton less than 20 per cent. An increase
in the same ratio for rs would send our
shipments up to nearly seven and half
millions. In our estimates of the yield
of our mines for 1872 we gave the sum
total at So $50, 409.73, and the shipment
of $5,27G,72 by one company leads US
to adhere to the opinion then expressed
that We did not estimate too highly. How
far from correct our estimates may be
will be shown in short time, as soon as
the Assessors return for the last quarter
of 1872 is made to the County Auditor.
At any rate we have the satisfaction of
showing conclusively that the shipments
of 1872 were largely in excess of those of
the previous year The facts stated con-
vey an unmistakable evidence of the
increasing productivenes5 of our mines
which mining men and capitalists will
not fail to observe.

The VIsALIA TRAGEDY.-An exchange
contains this notice of the hanging of
James G.. McCrory: He refused to stand
on his feet or speak. He knew that his
time had come. Before the people got
inside he told the other prisoners that
the crowd would surely get in and hang
him clean out of the jail" and i'm
plored them to "help to fight it out :"
Keeney told him that he would pray
for him." and he did so, he says, Nc
Crory lying down and giving himself up
doggedly to his fate. A rope had been
prepared and as he refused to walk, the
moose was put over his neck, and he was
dragged out. AS the moose was being
put on his neck he made some resistance,
striking with his hands and kicking but
not attempting to stand. The crowd
now probably numbered two hundred.
Dozens of men seized the rope and he
was dragged to the Court street bridge in
a moment. All his clothes was dragged
off him down to his ankles. The end of
the rope was tied to the railing and the
body rolled off. No motion of the body
was perceptible after the fall. 1t hung
there for some time after he was dead
and was taken down and delivered to an
undertaken. Twenty dollars was raised
in the crowd to bury him, who determ-
ined not to allow the county to be put to
any further expense on account of the
desperate.

LINCOLN COUNTY According to the
census of 1870 this county had a popula-
ton of Ais, but it has treble that num-
Der now, and we only reeur to the Stats

born in the State 1872, in New York 24l,
in California 46, in Ohio 126, in Penn

OF these born in foreign countries
there were S37, of whom 70 were born in
British America. 23S in England and
Wales, go in Ireland, AZ in Scotland,
20 in Germany, Is in France, % in Swe-
den and Norway, % in China, 5 in Swift
zerland, in Mexico, and in Denmark.
While our population has increased to
probably 5000. we are of the opinion
that the various States and foreign coun-
tries are represented in about the same
proportion as when the census was taken.

GOLD AND SLvRR.-From the Mining
Review for December Georgetown, Col.)
we clip the following on the yield of the
precious metals:
Before the discovery of gold and silver
on the American Continent north Of
Mexico, the two great sources of the lat
ter during the last 800 years have been
Veta Madre of Guanajuato and the Veta
Grande of Zacatecas which yielded re-
spectively about $500, 100000 and $780,
100000. Within the last 25 years the
entire western half of our own country
has been opened up as a vast metallifer-
GUS belt, the same has been done in Aus
tralia and in most of the large islands ad-
jaeent to it, the yield from the Urals
and Siberia has inreased largely
and the search for the precious
ores stimulated all over the civil
lied world. In the United States there
is now produced about $65, 900, 900, in
Australia probably $4,000, 900, Mexico
and South America $50, 100000, ant
from other sources about S45, 000,0 0(
more. 1t will be safe to place the annua
production of tho world at not less thai
5000, 900, 900, with the chances that it i
