The stage of water in the Carson riv-
er is very uncertain, as it depends dur
ing the Summer on the hot weather,
which melts the snow on the Sierra
Nevada. The river is lower now than
ever before known at this season of the
wear. The wood-drivers will 40 doubt
experience much difficulty in getting
in all their wood. The greatest part of
the drive is now in Carson Valley, but
is coming along rather slowly. The
recent cold spell has checked the melt
ing of the snow, but q succession OF
hot days will cause the river to rise
very rapidly.

THE GAMBLING Law. The matter
Of the mandamus case of Westley
George VS.. Sheriff Swift, OF Ormsby
county, came up inthe Supreme Court
last Wednesday. This case involves
the validity of the gambling law of the
last session. The facts, as set
forth in the argument, were that
Mr.. George refused to pay the
license demanded under the law
of 1875, and claimed his license under
the act of 1873, the which the sheriff re-
fused to issue, hence the litigation.
The Ease was argued by r. M. Clarke
on the part of Mr.. George, and Will
liam Patterson for the county. That
the act Of 1875 is a dead letter is patent
to all acquainted with the circumstan-
ces of the case, and no doubt the Court
will so rule. The bill was incorrectly
enrolled, and in hat condition was
signed by the Governor. We are con-
fident that the error is a fatal one and
that either the old law is in full force
and effect or that there is no law what
ever relating to gambling in the State.

FIREs.-A fire epidemic appears to
have broken out in Tioga and Adams
counties, Pennsylvania. Our dis
patches contain accounts of destruct-
i've fires at Oceola, Snowshoe, Shenan-
doah, Gilbertown and Shutdown. The
woods throughout hat section of
country are also on fire, and a large
amount of railroad property has been
destroyed. The reports fail to explain
the origin of these fires; whether they
were a series of condolences or the re-
suit of a preconcerted plan of a band
of incendiaries. That it is not the work
OF the strikers in the coal mines would
appear from the fact that the miners
worked diligently to ave one of the
burning towns.

THE BEECHER TRIAL.-The SENTI-
NEL's dispatches state that Judge Por-
ter is still summing up for the defense
in the great scandal case. AS shown
by the synopsis of Judge Perter's
argument, the conspiracy theory is
being vigorously adhered to by Beech
er's counsel. They allege that Tilton,
and Moulton and Bowen had entered
into a deep laid scheme to force Beech
or to do something, the exact nature of
which is hardly made sufficiently APP
parent. The theory of the case as
adopted by the defense may be all
right, but according to our recollection
of the testimony of the leading witness
es there is not much to back it up.

NEW YORK, May 81.
In the Beecher trial this morning
Judge Porter continued his summing
up OF the case for defendant. He first
commented upon the testimony OF
Bowen, who, he said, testified that
Beecher did not advise the dismissal of
Tflton, but on cross-eXaminatlon adj
mitted that Beecher told him things
about Tilton he never heard before.
Counsel pointed out certain alleged
Inconsistencies in Bowen's testimony.
He argued that Tilton and Moulton,
knowing of the impending downfall OF
the former, arranged Il conspiracy by
which Beecber was to be made the in
strument Of reinstating Iilton with
Bowen, and after convincing Mrs. Til
tOn that there was "A conspiracy against
her husband to drive him from the
independent and the BROOKLYN Union,
Moulton went to Beecher and took him
/ o Tilton's house on the night OF De-
cember Both, not, said Porter, for the
destruction of Beecher, but for the
overthrowing of Henry G. Bowen or
the reinstatement of TilIon, aud they
brought their machinery TO bear upon
Beecher so that they had him in their
tolls for all these years. He asked if it
were rue that on the Sd of July Mrs.
Tilton confessed to her husband the
committing ofadultery and did thejury
believe that Tilton world that night or
for the next four years have slept Wits
her? Did they believe that for six
months after that she would have per-
mitted her husband and Beecher to
meet at her house and in the streets of
