We received yesterday the following

We received yesterday the following
dispatch: 30
The driver of the incoming a Lake
stage, which arrived here last night
reports that when within about three
miles Of town, an individual stepped
out in the road, presented a gun and
commanded him to halt and throw of
the treasure box. The command was
complied with, when the stage was al
lowed to proceed. One passenger was
on board but was not molested. 1t is
not known what amount was contained
in the box.
PEDDLERs VS.. RESIDENT MER-
cHANTs.-It appears to be a general
custom throughout the State for sher-
ifs to issue licenses to peddlers for a
single month at the same proportion
ate rate as is established by the statutes
for a quarter-which is thirty dollars.
There Is no law for the issuance OF
peddlers' license for a less time than
three months, and the statute was evil
IDENTIFY designed to protect people es-
tablished in business in towns from
the competition of itinerant hawkers
of goods, who, carrying their stocks
upon their backs, are under no expense
except the trifie it costs them for their
food and lodgings, and who are there
fore able 10 make serious o upon
the trade of local business men. This
is not right. The law for the protection
of resident traders should be strictly
enforced, and there should be no strain
ing OF the statutes for the benefit of a
class of people who are no benefit
whatever to the communities which
they visit.
Nor So.-Although we do not know
from what source it originated, a ru-
MOI has been current for a couple of
DAYS that a sale has been effected Of
the X X mine o the Eureka Consol-
idated Company. We have the assur-
ance of those who would most GER
tainlv know if such a transaction had
occurred, that there is not a particle of
truth in the report. and that such a
proposition has neve been entertained
by either of the companies.

THE WEATHER. - Yesterday was
about as rough a day as has been ex-
