the gray got away with the Dan horse.
An impromptu scrub race wound up
the sport. The incidents of the day were
few. One or two Sunday-school scholars
came near being run over, but their teach
ers being on the ground, they were
promptly rescued.
SPoRTING.-Another race came off last
Tuesday, made between Dan Morris and
Harvey Carpenter Dan was backing his
own stock, while Harvey was putting up
on Halls horse. The distance run was
500 yards, over the track near the Three
mile House. Halls horse won the race.
Another race will take place to-day, over
the same track, between Halls horse, the
winner of the last race, and Jim Liddle's
horse Hot Biscuit" The distance to
be u is 300 yards; Hall giving Liddle
twenty feet. Halls horse having won a
race he should be named, and for the
convenience of betters, we name him
Corn Bread"
FIGHT.-A fierce and bloody fight took
place between two sqnaws last Tuesday
on one of the back streets, about--well,
nothing. One said that her blankets
kept the other ones husband warmer
than those he was in the habit of sleep
ing under. and of late he had been feel
ing quite cold-that was all that was said,
and she didn't mean anything; but the
other squaw misinterpreted it in another
way. and the fight started in lively. The
little finger of the first joint of the left
hand of one was chawed off, while the
head of the other was badly cut with a
knife. Surgeon Schultz dressed their
wounds. No arrests.
KEEP CooL.-We dislike personal diff
fculties at all times, and in fact can stand
a good deal, but when it comes to being
invited into r. Sadler & Co.'S, and be
presented with some of that fine bucket
tobacco they have lately received. we can
simply say that it is going too far, and
We have fortified ourselves against fur
Their insults of that kind, and if repeated,
somebody is going to lose their tobacco.
SETTLED.-The case of Mckay and the
Spaniards, of which we made mention
last week, was compromised. in Justice
Bush's court last Tuesday, and the par
ties discharged. In u report of the diff
fcnlty last week we were misinformed
as to the facts, and perhaps done injus-
tice to some of the parties it was not
intended we gave the facts as reported
to u.s..

of the Masonic Lodge of Hamilton will
be held at their Hall next Tuesday even
ing at z o'clock p. M, sharp, by order of
E. H. Morton, W. M. It is desired that
all members of the Lodge be present, and
all sojourning brethren are cordially in
vitedto attend.
BURLEsoUE.-A burlesque on" Elaine"
can be seen at smith & Woodin's saloon.
Tennyson's lines, to suit this picture,
should read as follows:
Then rose the old ~servitor, and the dead drunk,
Steer'd by the drunk, went downward with the
tide of the muddy Sacramento.
A PREsENT.-The finest painting we
have seen of "Elaine" was on Tuesday
last presented to Capt. Drake by Post
master Carpenter. 1t was beautifully
framed, and correspondent well with the
picture.
