Crazy.

Mr.. Basset, who resides on the hill
west of the Metamoras furnace, in
forms us that about 2 o'clock yesterday
morning, he was awakened by a VIC
lent rapping at the door. He demand
Ell to know who was there, when a
MAJ replied by a loud volIey OF curses
and threats that he would kick the
door in If it was not immediately
opened. MIR. Basset armed himself
and opened the window, when the fel.
low, without any attempt at conceal
ment, walked up TO him and fercely
asked him what he was doing in his
(the questioner's) house, and why he
did not let him in. His talk was very
incoherent, but after much parleying,
Mr.. Basset succeeded in convincing
the ! that he was not legally emit
tied to an entrance to the premises,
upon which he departed. He has lit
tie doubt. from the mans wild actions
and singular demeanor, that he vas
crazy or drunk, or both combined.

WANTED To KNOW ABOUT THE

"What's all this yere foolishness
about the uproar?" inquired a long,
lank, lean individual, just In from Nc
Garry. who was engaged at that par.
ticular moment in pouring out three

knight affably informed him that we

the interruption, but proceeded to ex-
plain that, in cities, cultured people
with aesthetic tendencies, whose tastes
for music had been cultivated to a
high degree, affected these elevated
flights OF The vocal art, and enjoyed
the harmonic interpretations OF the old
composers; that DeMurska was one of
the greatest living opponents of the
lyric stage, and that hearing of the
wonderful progress that Eureka had
made in all thai pertained to the amen
tiles OF life and refinements of social

About . week ago Bart Ashim ad-

possessor Of a u as a matter OF
protection from the ravages of these

There has been a steady and constant

a horde Of wild aud untamable cas-
throng the establishment, riot on the
back fences, hold concerts on the roof,
aud court each other in caterwauling
symphonies at all hours of the night.
All ages. sizes and colors abound.
White, black and yellow, tortoise

Vacancy im n Hoard OF Commits.
siOners.

The prospective vacancy in the
Board of County Commissioners
caused by the absence of Joseph
Oberer from the State. is causing on
siderable speculation, and candidates
for the vacancy are as plenty as broken
resolutions after New Years Day.
Among those mentioned are k. Sad
Ter, A. w. Campbell, DR.. Cham bin
j.. NJ. Kellogg. ID. W. Levan, ID. II.
Hall, T. J. Maupin, and others whose
names escape us. There il a nice
question raised "a to the time when
the vacancy occurs. The law requires
that AN Office holder shall be absent
from the State and county three
months. Mr.. Oberer left Eureka for
san Francisco nearly three months
ago, but was in Palisade about the Sd
of December. 1t is contended that HIS
being there filled the requirements of
the law, and the time OF his absenc
must be calculated from that date. We
think it is 4 point well taken, as the
statute has nothing to say about in
tention. The Governor appoints, and
letters and petitions without number
have been forwarded. urping the rival
aspirants' claims and fitness for the
place.
