A MIXED INQUEsT-A correspondent from
Folsom, referring to the ball at that place,
after the Masonic installation on Tuesday
evening, says: "The dance went off in ad-
mirable style, but when at its hight Coroner
Vermilya of your city made his appearance
in the hall, when everything at once became
hushed in solemn silence. Each looked at
the other in paleness and motionless. The
Coroner, however, seeing the solemnity that
his presence caused, lost no time in explain
ing his presence by saying that with the as
sistauce Of nine citizens he had Just ascer-
tanned that Chinaman had died for want
Of breath. He mot the Chinaman) was at
once enlisted in the festivities, and the
usual mirthfulness Of the occasion was re-
sumed." That parenthetic clause is what
saves the reader from ghostly reflections.

wood trees have been cut out, leaving these
holes in the walk. A lnan fell into one of
