local INTELLIGENCE.

Judge Fuller, VINO was passenger on
,ba stage, with an account OF the rob-
harry About 9 o'clock in the morning,
and as near as may be half way between
p.Isade and Eureka, the passengers
rho we're awake heard a shot, and i'm
r,ediately the stage stopped and an ex-
niamation made of don't shoot" .For
Gods sake don't shoot" "Give us the
bo, and be in hurry about" was the
Islander. The box was handed down
anJ the driver told to "drive on, and
on be drove, and that was all of the
affair. Judge Fuller says that he does
NOT think that five minutes elapsed from
the time the stage stopped till it was
again on its journey. The passengers,
several of whom were ladies, were not
molested; in fact. the Judge says, SO
quickly aud quietly was the robbery ef-
fec,ed, that the ladies were not aware of
what had occurred. They must have
been old and cool hands at the business.
Col. H. I. THORNTON regret to
hear that this distinguished gentleman
lately met with severe accident. 1t
appears that, in company with Judge
Temple, he was returning in buggy
from visit to some quicksilver mines,
when, through some unexplained cause,
the horses ran away, throwing out both
gentlemen. They were severely bruised,
and the Colonel was unable to get
around for some time, but now is nearly
recovered. We are gratified that the
gentlemen were not more seriously hurt,
for, from the nature Of the ground, the
Colonel says it was wonder they es-
caped with their lives. Colonel Thorn.
ton has our very best wishes for a
speedy and entire recovery.

ACCIDENT. = On Tuesday morning,
about o'clock, an unfortunate accident
occurred at the well being dug below
town. John Lehigh was being lowered,
in a tub, down the we'll. which is nearly
500 feet deep, when. by some unaccount-
able mishsp, the brake slipped, and
the bucket, with LehiRh in it, was pre-
cipitated to the bottom, sustaining very
severe and complicated injuries. After
some trouble the wounded man was got
out and DR.. Bergstein called to attend
him, who did all for the sufferer that
skill and care could dictate. Yesterday
he was taken to the County Hospital,
and lies in very precarious condition.
