San Diego Nct0s: For some days
past there have been rumors of new
discoveries of placer mines = short
dIstance from the city. A number
of persons have visited them, and
from gentleman of large mining
experience we CLEAN the following
facts: The discoveries are at the
base of the San Isidro mountains,
about thirty miles from San Diego,
and two miles north of the Mexican
line. There are, up to this time,
but two or three claims that are
paying anything, although there
are q large number of prospectors
in the neighborhood. 1t is proba-
bio there are rich mines, both
placer and quartz, in the neighbor-
hood, though, as yet, they are not
found. We expect important de.
velopments from this locality in a
few days.

VALUABLE BARN BURNED-CHILD MURDERED.
correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l +
B. r. Graves, Esq, has just had very
valuable barn, with several hundred bush
els OF wheat and oats, a large quantity OF
farming implements, a new wagon, aud
other things, burned by an incendiary. The
barn was only short distance from Mr..
Graves's store and residence, but notwlth
standing it was set on fire and burned shortly
after dark. After the fire it was found that
the wagon had been chained to the master
wheel Of thrcshing-macliine in the barn
to prevent it from being saved. A corn
house near the barn was saved with great
difficulty by dcluging the roof and side next
to the fire with water. The man DANES Fl.
Murphy who stood on the roof and threw
the water had his clothes scorched, but
stood manfully to his work. The loss Is
over 81 ,O00 Mr. Graves offers reward OF
Sl00 for the discovery OF the guilty party.
Across the line in Louisa county we have
an account OF horrible and cold-bloOded
murder. It is stated that step-son OF
Walter Robinson (colored) had for, some
time threatened to kill his sister, but no one
thought anything OF it, as both were chill
dren about ten or twelve years old; but one
day he got mad with the girl and picked
up the gun and told her he was going to
Kill her. and tbereupon presented the
gun at her, but she ran out OF doors and he
after her, and she then ran back into the
house in great fear and jumped into bed
and covered herself up in the clothing; the
boy (her brother) followed her in and shot
her where she lay. So far nothing seems to
have been done to the boy.
The people generally in this section have
filled their ice-houses with splendid ice ave-
raging over six inches thick. G
Very little sickness, times dull, and mo-
ney scarce. Yours, COUNTRYMAN.

Boiler Explosion-Seyeral Persons In.

MILTON, CABELL COUNTY, W. VA.,3
a January Is, 1878.
Editors Dispatch: A terrible boiler eX-
plosion occurred yesterday at O'Clock P.
NJ. on the waters Of Lower creek, about
three miles from this place. The mill was
owned by j. Il. Burke 81 Co., and was used
for the purpose OF saving heading for oil
barrels. The works had stopped for few
minutes, and while competent machinist
was Tightening some OF the bolts pertaining
to the engine the explosion took place,
making an entire wreck Of everything
cutting the boiler in two, twisting and tear
ing it in small pieces, scattering portions OF
boiler and engine everywhere. Water from
the boiler was thrown halfway up the
mountain side. The persons injured are
as follows Thomas Sharp, engineer, had
q compound fracture of left leg, right ankle
dislocated and scarred-also, severely scald-
ed ipsln foot to head; D. e. Ewing, one OF
the firm, conclusion OF the head, right leg
severely mangled, but no bones broken;
Allen Blankenship, painfully scalded
about the head and arms; Jesse
Smith. laborer, very severe conclusion
of the head, but not serious. j. r. Burke
arrived at the mill about ten minutes pre-
vious to the disaster, and fortunately es-
capped with a slight sprain on his left band
from flying stick OF wood from the fur
mace. The inspector Of heading and an
other laborer escaped without Injury.
Everything was done to relieve the wound
ed until the arrival of Drs. B. G. Vinson
andy II. Bowles from Milton, who dressed
their wounds preparatoryto removing them
to the village, the last, wagon arriving at
midnight. at present the parties injured
are suffering intensely, but with good
nursing hopes are entertained OF their re-
covery in course Of time. No blame is at
tached to the engineer. The cause is en-
tirely inexplicable.

A negro was shot day or two ago near
New Upton, in this county, by an officer,
who was ordered to arrest him on crimi-
nal charge. The negro resisted and made
battle with the officer. I have not heard
the character OF the wound.
The people OF Matthews seemed last Mon
day (court-day) very enthusiastic about the
reelection of Judge Montague. MU.
