On Saturday and Monday in important case was tried in our town hall before Jus tice Henry Shove. Eimore Hallock, man of G9 years of age, and his daughter Atty, a girl of 21, were prosecuted for in- cest This girl is hardly conspos n,e,tis, and, in May last, had an illegitimate child, the paternity of which she charged upon | MT. Geo. V. Brown of Kent, who has been bound over for trial before the su- perior court on that accusation. The present prosecution was instituted by MT. l Brown, who claims to have obtained eyi- l dence of the incestuous intercourse for claims to have gone with divers witnesses to the house of MT. Hallock and by look ing through the windows to have obtained evidence of the crime. Five witnesses testified in support of Mir. Browns charge. The defendent swore that he had slept on bunk in his daughters room since the birth of the child, his assistance being necessary for the care of both mother and child. He also offered evidence to prove that it vas impossible for the witnesses to have seen what they swore to, from the places at which they claimed to have stood. Local feeling was strongly in fa- vor of the accused and they were discharg
 ed by the justice. MT. Morrill, appeared for the prosecution. and Mir. c. 5. An drews for the prisoners.
 l There have been several very severe cases of typhoid, or, as We hear the doc tors pronounce it, old fashioned typhus fever, here of late. The household of Mir. Henry W. Garter have been especial sufferers. The whole family, consisting of father, mother, and three sons. have been attacked by this terrible disease. Charles, the second son, died few weeks since. The oldest son, Edwin, died on Sunday evening. Mir. Carter himself is very low and not expected to live. Mrs. Carter was attacked much later, and be- ing worn down by care and watching, IS even now in a very critical condition. The youngest son, about ten years of age, has escaped, with we believe a slight attack,
 and is now away from home with other relations. Mrs. Jane Starr is dangerous ly ill and it is feared that Mrs. Wm. Tan ner must have n course of the same fever.

The family of Dea Smith are returning to their home as an important event is ex- pected to occur this week.
 MT. Wadams is yet in critical con- dition.
 We notice the arrival of Mrs. Dr. Brundage and daughters from Naugatuck, and MT. Edgar Lyman from Ohio. He is a son of MT. Wnr Lyman, the subject of an article in your paper, last week.
 The excursion to Savin Rock, last Thursday, was success, the train on the Naugatuck R.

I was interested in the ap- pearance of nine deaf and dumb persons from Waterbury and Plymouth, who kept up constant communication by signs, and appeared to be the happiest company on the cars.

The great event of the week has been the camp meeting. Hundreds if not thou sands have been in attendance from this town; some of whom have stayed through the entire week, and it is to hoped that much good has been accomplished.
 Summer boarders are beginning to leave. Several musical artists have been stopping with Mir. and Mrs. T. l.. Hart for a few days. Among them is young lady of eighteen years who is seldom surpassed in the use of the violin. Invitations were extended to them by the lovers of good music to which they responded very much to the pleasure of those who heard them. Dr. Powers, who has been taking lessons upon the violin, is absent on fishing ex- cNrsion to Maine, from which place he writes us that he caught trout which weighed two and half pounds.

PnIzr FIour.-The mill between Coll.
yer and Edwards, which took place on
Mil Creek. between Pennsylvania and
West Virginia on the 18th instant, ended
in a general muss. The st. Louis DEM
ocrui thus gives the result Of it:
Round ll-Edwards came up slowly,
Collyer very weak, but up to time. Ed
wards seconds were accused by Newell
OF using ointment on Edwards hands,
and asked what was on them. He said
nothing but water. Haren then said
let the fight GO on. Newell said he
could see that Edwards had grossit, q
preparation which, among sporting men,
Is dreaded as likely TO blind a man. The
referees said nothing. but told the men
to fight on. Collyer's seconds refused
to allow him to proceed. Just then q
terrible uproar occurred. which had evil
IDENTIFY been brewing in the last moment
or two. Strange men broke into the
ring; Collyer's seconds appealed to the
referee; Edwards seconds insisted that
time had been called, and the stakes be
given over to Edwards. OF that the fight
proceed. The referee then firmly an
nounced that he had called time for
them to fight. Collyer's seconds then
refused to fight any further. and loft the
question to the decision OF the referee,
The impression prevails among sporting
men that the stakes will be given 10 Ed
wards and the fight to Collyer. The
fight lasted twenty-five minutes.

badly tinctured with the Woodruff idea
Of free love. Judging from his own
statements in the matter. many Of the

have been freely in love with him, and
wrote numerous love letters to him. all
OF which he respectively handed over to

future reference, feeling much battered.

and evinced for him by his flock. Wood
hull never got him to indorse her free
and easy sexual doctrines, and her fail

died yesterday afternoon from the effects
Of n cold which settled on his lungs, and
in spite Of care and attention, caused his
death. Mr.. Mason had been on this
coast for many years, and had made
hosts Of attached friends. In his pro-
fession as a civil and mining engineer.
he stood in the front rank, and had
been employed in n great number oil
the heaviest suits that have taken place
ON the coast, especially at Virginia,
Hamilton. Treasure Hill. Salt Lake
City, and many other localities. lie

was born in Virginia, and we believe
was n neal connection Of John NJ. Ma
son Of that State. lie accompanied
General johnson in the expedition d.
rected against the Mormons, and upon
the return Of the army came TO Califor-
mia, where he remained until the discov-
cry OF the Comstock. when he settled at
Virginia City, where his services were
greatly in request in the practice Of his
profession. He afterwards visited White
Pine and many other places in Nevada
and Utah, and invariably o the conf
dence, esteem and respect OF all who

Stage Robbery.

From the Rse.e River Reysllle, August itth.I
After n long period of inaetion ON the
Battle Mountain and Austin stage road,
the "road agents" have started in again.
AT IL o'clock last night the up stage was
stopped in the canyon. three miles this
side of Weeks Station-th the old place-by
two men, who, covering the driver with
their weapons, ordered q halt and de-
manded Wells, Fargo X Co.'S express
box. The driver made haste to comply
with the demand. and gracefully handed
down the box to the knights OF the road,
who at once proceeded 10 wrench otfthe
lock and go after the contents oil the
boy. The contents consisted Of n pack
ace valued at $50 and Sls in coin. which
the robbers distracted and then request
ed Eugene TO "hand down that other
box" He assured them that there was
no other box aboard the stage, and told
them that II they doubted his word OF
honor rs n stage driver they were Mt lib
erty 10 look for themselves. Accord
ingly one Of the highwaymen mounted
the box and rummaged around in the
boot, and failing TO find another treas
ure box, he descended and ordered the
driver to "driye on" which Eugene
made haste tn do. There were two pas
sengcrs aboard, but they were in no
manner disturbed.
The robbers are described us small.
youug-appearing men-neiiher over five
feet four inches in height. They at
tempted TO disguise their voices, but 1t
was evident to the driver that they were
either Americans or were capable OF
speaking the English language tiuently.
The stages running between Eureka
and Palisade have been stopped several
times lately; and it is thought that the
two men who stopped the Battle Noun
tain stage last night are members Of the
same gang that is operating ON that
road, as they do their work in the same
manner. and make a demand for THAT
other box" when they fail to find suili-
ciont booty to satisfy thsm in the box
handed out.
