TOWN AND COUNTY.

INsANE.-For several months Charles
Wilson, lunatic, has been a sort Of ter
ror to people living in and about Trinity
Center; not that he has ever injured any
one, but because he had threatened the
lives Of several and, being of unsound
mind, was liable at any moment to carry
his threats to execution. u nder these
circumstances, charge of lunacy was
last week entered against him and war;
rant issued for his arrest. Under-Sherif
Rainer, assisted by J. E. Winans and
Mr.. Horton, captured him on Wednesday
morning, with much less trouble than
was anticipated, as he was regarded as
a desperate character. He was brought
to Weavervile the same day, and taken
before Judge Lovejoy on Thursday
Drs. Montague and Lord conducted the
examination which resulted in his COM
initial to the Insane Asylum. Wilson's
conduct at the examination was remark
ably sane for crazy man. He has a
good command of language and speaks
GHSlSu Well lOI u lOlGlSliSIs Ills IcCOl-
lection of dates and events is distinct
In 1868 he was an inmate of the Insane
Asylum, but was discharged in a tew
weeks, the doctor telling him that he
would be back there in six months. Now
lie rejoices that it has been six years and
slys he will be out again in month or
so. He is very superstitious, believing
in witches and that certain people, whom
he calls Sodoms," possess great power
over him. He has great faith in peculiar
virtues which he ascribes to graveyard
dirt, carrying small sack of this article
with him always, using it to clean his
gun with to make it more deadly, and
sprinkling it about his cabin and person
to keep the witches away. lson is a
native of Sweden, 81 years of age. Sher-
iff Philbrook starts for Stockton with him
Saturday morning.

MINING AT DOUGLAS CITY.-We vis-
tied this place on Monday and took the
opportunity of jogging around among
the claims a little. Sluicing is nearly
through with for the season, though the
Union Hill claim is still working two
setts of hands, running day and night
The bank deepens as they work up the
fiat, the bedrock pitches slightly in the
same direction. They have fine bed Of
gravel ahead of them, which prospects
as well as ever.
Smiley & Trotter have finished piping
and have large force at work on the
bedrock. 1t will take probably month
to finish up. This company have a three
years lease of the Paulsen Ditch, which
they will greatly enlarge this Summer,
and also put in new fumes along the en-
tire length. Workmen went up to the
head on Monday, and are getting out
timbers preparatory to this work. The
estimated cost of the contemplated i'm
provements is $4,000.
Tourot's claim is also winding up work
for the season. Tourot has made clean
sweep to the hill bedrock the whole
length of the claim so far as worked, and
next year will follow the channel down.
Where he quit piping the bank has a
depth of seventy or eighty feet. The
channel evidently passes under the site of
the old Temperance Hall.
The claims oe Wallace & Cruthis and
those of Crickard & Theodore we did not
visit, but hope to before long. We un-
derstand they have paid very we'll.
