ooMDAis.-1 esterday and the preced-
ing night there Nas considerable bad
blood manifested. We heard of innum-
cradle angry disputes. The air seemed
pregnant of discord and strife; but ham
PLY, the notifying influence of mutual
friends, and wholesome dread. proba-
ply, OF the law, prevented actual collis-
ions in the majority of cases. But some
blood letting had to result from so much
and so general i'll feeling. One indiyid-
ual was struck and knocked down with
revolver, and carries, in consequence.
an ugly cash on the side of his head
the difficulty occurring at the hurdy-
8urdy house, night before last; and
anout the same time, in saloon on
Meadow Valley street, two men engaged
IN a rough-and-tumble, resulting in one
OF them getting his face terribly battered.
Stlll another fight we have heard Of but
have not been able to get particulars. as
to time, place, parties or circumstances.
" Let us have peace"
ACQuIrTED.-In the Justices Court in
the case Of the State VS.. C. w. Craig.
charged with peddling without license.
the jury brought in verdict of not
guilty. The defendant is solicitor or
selling agent of San Francisco tobocco
ana cigar house. Section 67 of the
revenue Act of 1SG4-'5 seems to be yery
deflnite and clear in exacting q local
license from all who shall sell or offer
for sale goods, wares and merchandise of
any and every description. Mr.. Craig
acknowledged to having made sales of q
large amount OF imported cigars and
tobacco, and seemed very willing to meet
any legal obligations that might have
been imposed under that section.
ExPLANAToRy.-We have received q
long explanatory letter from Mr.. Roy
croft in regard to his alteration with
Mr.. Powers Mr.. r. feels aggrieved at
our report of the affair, which was taken
from the records of the Justices Court.
He claims to be law-abiding citizen
and says he was in no way the aggressor
IN the altercation-that is the substance
OF his letter, and we cheerfully give him
the benefit of the explanation in this item.
That should be satisfactory; we have not
the space to insert the letter entire. He
VIII have the opportunity to set himself
right in the District Court, if wroncel
before the Justice. His bond on appeal
has been filed.
1T MATTERS Moran anonymous let
ter has been received by us, which con-
tains, among other things, the following:
Permit me to say that those engaged
ON Meadow Valley street, the other night,
IN making threats and resisting an officer.
were not Cornishmen. as stated in YOUR
paper We did not so state our I'M
known correspondent is mistaken we
were told that the intoxicated man was a.
Cornishman, and so reported, using the
word in the singular sense. Our infor-
nation may have been incorrect. But it
matters not about the nationality we
never could see the sense or Justice of
drawing distinctions between white men
anywhere.
DoN'r KILL THEM.-Ravens are nu-
merous and multiplying in and around
Phoebe. They do no harm, but much
good. They are natural scavengers, and
as such are esteemed so valuable in some
places that they are protected by ordi-
nance. Here, as we have no sewerage
system nor cleansing natural stream,
their services are especially desirable.
We should like to see them rs numerous
rs they are in the Gulf and Mexican
cities, and enjoy the same protection.
Don't practice with your revolvers on
the ravens.

Stene, who pleaded guilty, day before
yesterday, to the charge of petit larceny,
were yesterday morning sentenced by
Justice Stoutenburgh to pay fine Of

too warm for such articles to be as valua-.
BILE as they now are.

O'Clock last night, and the clerks were,
