dence could be restored, but the
failure of the Bank of California
and the Trust Company has shaken
confidence on the part of the
usually unwary, so that it will take
time and the greatest possible
patience to lead them on again.
1t is pity Brother Hammond is
not here now to attemdt another re-
ligious revival. People are so very
down hearted, it would greatly favor
him, and even stock dealers might
become converted. Moody and
Sankey in Brooklyn, are being
greatly favored, lit is said, though the
gloom and depression in financial
circles, and SO they very likely
would be here.
The loss of the Pacific" has
fastened it's gloom also on our peo-
pie. Taey are looking for nything
now, that is terrible, and if first
class earthquake could be stirred
into action, it would meet the views
of the croakers in all particulars.
The races have brought a great
many strangers among us from the
East, so that the Palace is at pres
ent doing passably. Five dollars a
day for single rooms on the court,
and six dollars on the streets is the
usual price, and seven if the luxury
of bathroom is added; so line
your pockets and come to the
Palace, which will be very happy
to greet you.
The rains are doing their best to
make themselves welcome giving
US bit of warm, sunny weather,
and letting the foliage put on its
prettiest verdure; it does not drive
itself upon us, bnt comes In gentle,
soothing showers, SO we can only
say, thank you, we are happy to
see you"

LEOPARD MILL BURNED. We learn
from S. j. Bonnifeld, who was up at
Palisade yesterday, that news had been
received at that place of the burning of
the Leopard Company's mill at Cornu-
copia last Friday. Our informant says
that it was reported that the mill and
everything in it was destroyed. This
is serious loss to the camp, but as the
company have good mine and the
machinery for 20-stamp mill is on
the road to the camp, its loss will not
prove very serious. and it will occasion
but slight drawback to the place.

SIERRA DISTRICT. Encouraging re-

in from the eastern slope of Sierra
District. Work is vigorously prosecu-
ted on the Goodrich mine, for which
the machinery for a ten-stamp mill is
shortly expected to arrive. Several
prospecting parties are at work in the
vicinity, and unless those who have
been there and examined the prospects
are greatly mistaken, n lively camp will
spring up there this fall.

THE ROVER TRIAL.
The Arguments OF COunsel--A Ver-
dict of Guilty on the First Ballot
Doubts as to its Legality.

The trial of j. W. Rover was con-
cluded last Saturday. At 10 A. NJ. M.
s. Bonnifeld, counsel for defense.
commenced his argument and finished
at 3P. NJ. Considering the circum-
stances and evidence it was all that
could be expected, and it was generally
conceded that the accused was well and
ably defended. 1t was. however, i'm
possible to break the chain of circum-
stances which held the accused as the
culprit, and the strongest link in which
was the statement of the accused at the
preliminary examination. At the con-
clusion Of Mr.. Bopnifeld's argument.
Judge Leonard began the closing speech
for the prosecution. He stated that he
had no wish to convict the accused I'M
less 1t was conclusively shown by the
evidence that he was guilty of the
crime charged. The evidence was all
circumstantial, yet of such character
as to leave no reasonable doubt as to
the guilt of Rover. He reviewed the
evidence. and dwelt at length on the
statement of the defendant, which he
considered one of the strongest links in
the chain of circumstances, and in his
opinion left no doubt as to his guilt.
He concluded his argument at 6 P. ~.
at which time the Court took q recess
until $50 in the evening
At that time the Judge delivered his
charge to the jury with the
instructions of the counsel for the
prosecution and defense, after which
the jury retired, and in forty
minutes brought in verdict of
guilty as charged in the indictment.
Several of the jurors inform us that
verdict was found on the first ballot.
When the verdict was announced by
the Clerk, the prisoner remained as
was his wont during the trial-un-
moved, though a slight nervousness
exhibited itself in his demeanor imme-
diately afterwards. He was taken
back to the Jail by the Sheriff, and
laughed and attempted to be funny
while being locked in his cell.
His counsel asserts that there is an
informality in the verdict. which will
aunul it aud insure new trial This
defect is alleged to be in the fact tha,
the jury did not state the degree of
murder for which he was found guilty.
The jurors say that they intended muir
der III the first degree. but omitted 10
state that fact in their verdict, believ-
ing that guilty as charged i'll the in
dictment was sufficiently explicit to
convey that meaning. We understand
that the counsel for the prosecution
considers the verdict good; Int as that
question will come before the Court to-
day or tomorrow, it Is idle to speculate
on the result. 1t has, however, been a
subject of general comment, since de-
fendant's counsel announced his deter
mination to set it aside, and undoubt-
eddy 1t will continne to be until it is dis
posed OF in the Courts.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

CHINESE SupERsTITroNs.- The Chi
nese are, perhaps, the most supersti-
tious people on the face Of the earth.
The drowning of one of their number
In a whirlpool in the Humboldt river II
few days ago has led the Chinese of
this place TO believe that he was
pulled down in the water by the.
spirit of some white man or Indian.
SO confident are they that such
was the case that they have III
quired of several persons If repre-
sentative of one or the other of those
races had not been drowned in the
same place some years ngo, aud will
not believe but what there has been.
There is no danger of any more China
men going into the river at the point
where the accident occurred for some
time. They also have supersGtous
notions about their dead, one of which
Is never to permit the corpse of per-
son who dies ont doors to be taken into
house. They place rice and brandy
near the graves of their dead Mt certain
seasons of the year. and believe that
while the substance remains the nutri-
tive properties of those articles are alb
sorbed by the spirits Of the departed.
TUscAEoRA. 49, We learn from Sam
Heintzelmap, just down from Tusca-
rora, that lively mining camp is
springing up at that place. The Young
america mine Is proving to be richer
than any gold bearing ledge discovered
in the State, and four-stamp mill is
turning ont thousands of dollars every
week. The ledge has been found on
two extensions, north and south, of the
original, and so far as prospeeted, fully
rs good as the first discovery on the
lead. A lawsuit for the ownership of
one of them is ON the tapis, fact
which proves that it is considered val
liable.

Forbes, of Measure for Measure was
here last week, and does up the town
in racy style in his paper, as the fol-
lowing extract from long article under
the above head shows
Our neighbor town is holding its
own, and expanding into the sage and
sand environs at rate fully up with
the spirit of the age. Dave Melarky
and some of the other settlers have
windmills for pumping water upon
their gardens, and they are repeating
that experiment which we have an in
distinct recollection of reading about
something about the wilderness and
the rose and Blossom-well, no matter
about it.
The school h ouse has been run. here
tofore. in the upper town; but the
railroad kills so many of the children
that the Trustees began to be afraid
that in about eight or ten years Union
ville's uprising generation would be
able to vote the county-seat back; and
since the establishment of close rela-
tons with the Webfeet, the children
in Winuemucca, born of mixed pa
rentage in that way. have all learned to
swim, and the school-house is to be re-
moved to lower grounds.
Some fine Durham cattle are owned
in Winnemucca. A splendid bull,
weighing 200 pounds, had just been
brought through by Mr.. Hart; aud the
School Trustees held a meeting and
sent to Kentucky for school teacher.
The bnll we were speaking of has
ring in his nose, and rope through
the ring. The school house is n fine
looking building on the outside. Didn't
look inside. We got tired, years ago,
of looking at the insides of school
houses.

Schneider's Horse Trade.


Schneider concluded to go to the
mines the other day, and some one
told him that he should buy horse.
1t struck him just then that he had
heard a man want to sell one, down
town, SO he went to See that man.
The man laid his hand atfectionately
on Schneider's back, and recsm-
mended the horse. He said the horse
was kind and gentle, and would not
balk; he then invited Schneider to
examine the horses legs, feel of his
muscles and chin him, all of which
had Its due effect on Schneider, 1who
didn't know much about horse He
looked, however, into the horses
mouth, and remarked that his teeth
were pretty long; and the man said it
would take long time to wear them
down. This settled the matter with
Schneider, who bought the horse at
once; then he took the rope and went
to lead him home. He started out at
a brisk walk, but when he got to the
end of the rope, he was astonished to
find the horse didn't move; SO he went
back and adjusted the rope and tried
again. This time Schneider was
heard to mutter something between
his teeth, but still he did not bulge
him. One. of the by-standers now un-
dertook to help him, and got behind
the horse; with the aid of a fOur-year-
old club and a bushel of rocks he
started him; Schneider, meantime,
had the rope over his shoulder, and
was tacking from one side of the street
to the other and pulling like loco
motive on freight train. He got on
pretty we'll in this way till he got to
the bridge, and here the horse con-
cluded to stop. The perspiration was
now running from every pore of
Schneiders body, and his undershirt
was trying to get up under his arm
pits. but he was bound to get that
horse home So he talked quite
while to the horse in Dutch, and ex-
amined his head with fence-board.
The horse then commenced a retro
grade movement; but this Schneider
was determined to prevent, ifpossible,
so he faced round and held on till the
heels of his new boots pulled off; then
he left off and looked at his hands and
spit on them and commenced to talk
Dutch again; but he hadn't given it
up vet, you bet. He just walked over
to the store, bought a log-chain and
four-inch rope and then hired four
teen mule team to haul that horse
home. Schneider wants to know if
there is any law that will send a man
! to the penitentiary for selling horse
that won't lead.-SO,Hheyn CatJOr-
