Well, Mr.. Jones;" said neighbor Brown,
I'll start this very day for town,
And get pair of Boots for me,
And also shoe my family.
So Bill you go and harness Doll
And straight to town VIII go, by gol,
And stop in front OF SMITHS Store
Where the Boots hang DER the door.
Bill always does what father tells.
lie harnessed Doll and put on Bells,
Aud in they piled young ones and all,
Crack went the whip and Off went Doll.
Doll had been living on high feed,
And started at her fastest speed
And took Brown and Lis family straight
To Paw Paw at two-forty gait,
Whoa, Whoa, old Doll Bib cried out when
They got to Main Street, Number Ten.
And out they jumped IN front the door,
of Poet Smiths Mammoth Store.
In they went with an awful swell,
"Good morning, hope to find you well,
Said Brown as he and his young drove
Advanced to warm them at the stove.
Ny neighbor Jones brought me the news
How cheap you sold your Boots and Shoes,
so resolved to come and buy
OF you my winters full supply.
To shoe the tribe, Smith began,
Beginning first with the old man
And then the young Browns little feet.
Were shod and fitted all complete.
The news soon spread the county round.
That just the place at length was found
Where men could save fifty per cent.
On every dollar that they spent.
Remember where you can buy Coats
Thread for 8 cts. spool.
Respectfully, Yours,

LETTER FROM WILMINGTON.

WILMINGTON, Nov. 10, 1873.
On Saturday afternoon Mexican,
named Montana, dropped dead in the
street near Mr.. Keyes' store. He had
just come out of gambling saloon,
where he generally spent his Sundays.
The cause of his death is supposed to
have been q ruptured artery. He was
buried to-day. He leaves a wife and
six young children, without any visi-
BILE means of support.
Captain Smiths vessel, which was
seized by the Collector for violating
the revenue laws, has been released
and restored to him.
The amount of shipping to this har-
Dor Is gradually increasing. The large
ship Constellation has nearly flashed
discharging her cargo of about three
hundred tons of coal for the railroad
company.
The circumstances of the shooting
affray, which occurred in Wilmington
q week ago, were somewhat different
from the statement published in the
Star. The two Mexicans had been to
a party, where they became crazed by
drinking too much bad whisky. When
they started to go home, Ruiz offered
to shake hands with PlanchO, who ex-
tended to him his left hand, while
with his right hand he pointed q pistol
within six inches of his face and fired.
The ball entered the root Of the nose,
and lodged in the back part Of the
neck. Probably the whole truth will
appear on the examination. c.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

Following is the opinion rendered
by Judge Widney, on the case of B.
Doubourdieu vs.. George Butler, City
Treasurer:
In this case it appears that the man.
agement of the lrrigating Zanjas OF
Los Angeles city, was by act of the
Legislature. 1870, taken from the
Mayor and Common Council and
placed in the hands of Board of Wa
ter COmmissioners-th Board hav-
ing power to collect water-rates, to
constitute u Water Fund, on which
the Board were authorized to draw
warrants for repairing, constructing
and improving the zanjas.
During the existence of said Board
it drew warrants to a large amount,
OF which some $4,000 are now unpaid.
In 1872, the above Act was repealed,
and the management of the zanjas
was placed in the hands of the Mayor
and Common Council. The money
collected by said Board of Water Com
missioners was all paid out, and the
still remaining $1,000 unpaid, which
the Treasurer refuses to pay out of the
present Water Fund, alleging that the
present Water Fund is a different
Fund, and is not liable for the war;
rants of the Board of Water Commits
sioners. This action is brought to en-
force the payment of said warrants.
No proof is offered to show any fraud
in the drawing of the warrants, or
that the work for which they were
drawn was not done, nor that the mo-
ney on the warrants is not Justly due
the petitioner for work done.
The gist of the whole defense, as
presented to this Colrt-and the Court
can regard nothing else-is this: The
city seeks to avoid payment of a just
debt through legal technicality. 1t
is called q j,tst debt, because no proof
is attempted to the contrary, and the
presumption Of la,O is, that the Board
Of Water Commissioners acted regu-
lariy and honestly. Code of Civil Pro-
cedure, Sec. 1857, Sub. Is, 33, 80.
The points relied on by the defense,
are that the Water Fund at present is
different from the Water Fund of the
said Board, and is not liable for its
debts; also, that the Legislature had
no right to interfere with the water
rights Of the city, said rights being
claimed under the Mexican kGOvern-
ment as in fee simple. Whatever may
have been the old Pueblo rights, it Is
not necessary to discuss-for when the
cityincorporated and acted under the
incorporating act of the Legislature of
1850, it voluntarily accepted the du-
ties, obligations, ETC., resulting from
that act, and can not now question
these. AS to. the other point, the
Court Is of the opinion that the Water
Fund remains the same, and Is liable.
That obligation to pay said warrants
is contract, and no act of the Legis-
lature changing the Water Fund, or
obliterating it, can under the Consti-
tuition affect the validity Of said war;
rants.
Let the mandamus issue as prayed
for. r. M. WIDNEY, Judge.
Mcconnell & King for Petitioner.
A. w. Hutton for Respondent.

Late Te|egran0s'
EXCLUSIVELY TO THE HERALD.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia Washing
ton correspondent had an interview
with Secretary Fish to-day regarding
the shooting of the passengers of the
Virginius, and the Secretary said that
it was cold-blooded murder. No one
of sound Judgment pretends to apollo
gize for it, but the Cubans themselves
say they have had presumed patriots
running loose in New York and Wash
ington who, had they been made OF
sterner metal would have. been fight
ing on the island instead of manufac-
turing useless and pseudo enthusiasm
in those cities. No one denies that
Ryan and his confederates were in
command of Cubans. If an American
is willing to enter into the service of
foreign powers, he does so at his own
risk and has no right at every turn
which proves inimical to his own in
terest or life, to ask the intervention
of our Government, after he has
voluntarily left to battle for another
power. It would have been much more
creditable to the Cuban authorities to
have kept their officers at home doing
service where it was valuable. The
Secretary further added that he SYM
pathized with Cuba, but could not rem
der them any aid, as it would conflict
with the law of nations. Further, he
wanted better metal from Cuba than
has been sent, before he could hope to
hear of them ultimately achieving
their independence. In the present
juncture of affairs he said the State
departments will use their utmost dill
gence to be advised at the earliest
practicable moment after we have the
full facts. This Government cannot
now act because it has no basis upon
which to proceed firmly and intelli-
gently. 1t may be week before the
the news is presented in an official
shape.
The loss of the steamer Ismalia is
fully credited at the Ship News Ex-
change. She had no passengers. She
was last seen on the I'd Of October off
the coast of Nova Scotia.
The Tammany Hall Committee sat
this evening again, to investigate the
late alleged election frauds. Simon
Stein testified that he heard three
men, on the evening before the elec-
tion, arranging to repeat, and saw one
of them repeat next day. He chal-
lenged them, and the inspector refused
his vote. A number of witnesses tes-
titled to the inspector tearing up and
changing the tickets; also that the in
spectors and police had intimidated
naturalized citizens. Two inspectors
swore that in one election district
they counted 125 tickets for Charles
Riley, and lOS for John Ryan. They
consequently saw returns altered to
176 for Kelley. Other evidence was
taken, bearing very hard on Police
Commissioner Churlick, and United
States Commissioner Johh S. Daven-
mort.
