The last day of school the teacher
G.. w. Bailey of Hardwick-told the
scholars that they would have an inter
view in the evening, and asked them
to invite in friends. Among the
friends" were three young men who
had been drinking, and they brought
their bottles with them. When they
began to make u disturbance, some one
quietly summoned Deputy Isaac Smith,
and they were locked up. In the
morning Henry Bruce, Joseph Osborn,
and James Thompson plead guilty to
intoxicatiOn, and were fined s. each
and costs. On their disclosure they
were inclined to be silent, but when
told that they must tell or so to Jail,
they gave away DR.. Marden, new and
young physician. The Doctor plead
guilty to five otfenses, and paid $50
and costs. On the whole, rather a
fruitful "interview."
The next day A. B. Carrick of GrOton
was arrested for intoxication and fined
s. and costs.
Many will regret to learn of the
death of Mrs. John A. Gilchrist, which
occurred Wednesday morning. She

ogden Pilot OF the l4th.
'Idaho BILL a %wsll-known character,
who has figured largely in the horse-steal-
ing business in Utah and Wyoming, met
more than his match on Wednesday, and
was sent to his reward. 1t appears that
after breaking out of the Utah Pen, and
from the Evanston jail, he married a Miss
Glasscock at her father'sr ranch, five miles
east of Evanston, and the couple started
east on horseback. The girl was persuaded
afterwards to return to her parents, and
this she did. He a few days ago got pas
sage in an emigrant wagon from Tie Sid
ing, near Cheyenne, and when near Pied
mont he told the man and wife with whom
he was travelling about his marriage and
the desertion Of his wife, whom he should
claim, he said, on arrival at the ranch, and
if they did not give her up he would mas
sacre the whole family. kill their cattle and
burn up their hay and houses. Arriving
az the ranch about 4 O'Clock yesterday, he
at once demanded his wife, on the threat OF
determination Of the whole family unless
she was given up. The father told him he
could not have the girl, and he had better
begin to carry out his threats. He drew a
revolver and chased the father around the
house. Glasscock picked up a pitnam Of
o moving machine and struck Bill on the
head three times, breaking the skull and
forehead and causing the brain to ooze out.
Glasscock then went to Evanston and de-
livered himself into the hands of the
Sheriff, who locked him up to await devel-
opments. "Idaho Bill" was brought to
Evanston on train No. 11-conductor Will
liam Horr-and taken to the Courthouse,
where DR.. Hooker and other physicians
examined the man and pronounced the case
hopeless. The man died at 6 A. M. to-day.
Idaho Bill' is known by that name, while
his name is Sloan.

DAN FRANCISCO, July tne
passengers from Honolulu by the last
steamer was Major G. W. McFarlane, aide
de-camp and bearer Of dispatches to King
Kalakaua. His mission has excited some
inquiry from a number Of prominent
planters and merchants OF the islands. 1t
is learned that the King was at one time
induced by the notorious Caesar Celso Mo-
reno to enter into an arrangement by
which the Chinese merchants line OF
steamers were to land 1000, 900 China
men on the island, on whom q capitation
tax Of 81 each was to be levied. They
were then to be made citizens, and the
Kingdom turned over to the Chinese En-
pire for the consideration. The scheme
was banked by the action Of the foreign
residents and officials. Chagrined at the
issue, and his resulting un~popularity, the
King went off on a tour Of the world. 1t
has been supposed that the arrival Of
McFarlane has some connection, for or
against, with these schemes, and q mer-
chant Of this city says his mission ia to
officially announce the death of Chief
Justice Harris, and other news OF i'm
portance.
The Directors of the Produce Exchange
have filed their report Of the amount OF
the -four and grain crop Of 1880 in this
State up to July /. In a number Of
minor cases which would aggregate a con-
siderable, no returns have been received
and nc estimates have been made. In such
cases where there has been a great
Discrepancy in the reports Of two or more
parties in the same section, the Board has
invariably favored q smaller estimate.

corn, 94,210; rye, $500. This is the
greatest amount Of wheat ever carried over.
Judge Sullivan decided this morning
that the Board of Directors elected Sept.
%. 1880, was illegal, and that the Board
elected at the previous meeting in 1879,
over whose election there was no dispute,
are the legal Directors to-day. The acts
OF the 1880 Board are declared legal,
though the members were not regularly
elected, and the dissatisfied Board elected
May 2, 1881, was illegally elected. The
Judge will appoint a day for o new election.
SAN DIEGO. July ID. Another large
party of Chinese laborers for the California
Southern railroad arrived per steamer Sem
ator this morning, and in less than two
hours were on their way to the front. The
rapidity with which work is being pushed
has hardly been surpassed anywhere. Grad
ing Is going on actively in Capin Pass, as
well as in Temecula Valley. Work on the
water front ct this bar is also vigorously
pushed, employing q large force OF men and
teams. The streets to-day were crowded
with teams carrying supplies forward to the
working parties in the northern part Of the
county.

stock Surmises.

The San Francisco Post says: Were
there one or more relieving features in the
market the effect Of the recently levied
assessments would not be felt 30 keenly.
The north end mines are troubled with
water, and are practically out Of the ring
for q week or two until the pump gear Is
fxed. The feeling, even among such in
v~etsrate bears as Captain John Kelly, is
that the north end stocks are not "shorts''
at the present low figures, but are good
propositions to have in mind for an up
ward turn. II is no time TO hang down
the head and become disconsolate when
the Comstock shares as a class are rated so
low in the market. 1t is, rather, q time
for people 10 look about for cheap invest
ments, and no doubt several OF them may
be had at the present moment, although
we counsel caution for a few days, until
more assessments have been levied, and
their bad influences have departed.

~CoMPARIsON OF SYSTEMS.

An English paper has this to say upon
the subject Of corruption in American
politics: "The revelations of corruption
which are being made by the members of
the New York Legislature, call attention
to the seamy side Of American political
life. 1t would seem that the Democratic
system in the States is passing through
what may be styled the Walpolean stage
of English constitutionalism. 1t will,
no doubt, purge itself OF these grosser
elements in time, but it is difficult to see
what substitute for gross money brides
can be devised which will provide for the
politicians Of the Republic whose reward
for their exertions in the public veal by
which our monarchial system stimulates
the energies of ambitious citizens. Those
who know how large a part the judicious
distribution Of stars and garters, peer.
ages and baronetcies play in the working
of English politics, will best sympathise
with the difficulties of the manipulators
Of American politicians to the vulgar and
coarse expedient of payments in hard
rash
