MURDERED BY MISTAKE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-Near Oroville
last night James Andrews was shot dead
while unhitching a horse from the buggy
Of j. B. Espey, with whom he had driven
out from town, by e. r. Sproule. The
murderer at once proceeded to Oroville and
surrendered himself. Learning he had
killed Andrews he expressed great emo
ton and made full statement to the effect
that he intended to kill Espey, for whom
he had been working and who had seduced
his wife. Two barrels of the gun were
empted into Andrews body.
1t appears that Espey was warned of
Sproule's intent and when some distance
from the house he alighted, leaving An
drews to take the buggy to the house. He
claims, however, that he warned Andrews
Of the danger; but the latter expressed no
fear of Sproule shooting him, forgetting
the danger of a mistake owing to the
darkness

Run DOWN AT SEA.

New YORK, Sept. 30.-A passenger
gives the following account of the sinking
Of an unknown sailing vessel by the steam
er Anchoria, of the Anchor Line, on the
night of the goth instant: II was on the
man deck at the time of the occurrence
Fully ten minutes before the crash | saw 8
green light ahead of US, and heard a sea
man direct the chief officers attention to it.
l think the chief said All right, or some
thing to that effect, and am sure that the
course of the Anchoria was not changed
an inch. If we had luffed in time the col
lision would certainly have been averted
When it came the ship reeled, and it look
ed as if we were going to the bottom"
The Anchoria was in collision with an
other steamer few hundred miles east oi
Sandy Hook, in June, 1880, and was con
siderably damaged.

Many people in these parts who have of
late years essayed to cultivate water lilies
with only moderate degree of success
will be pleased to bear from high au
thority ON such subjects that if properly
treated there is scarcely anything easier to
grow. In the first place, the bottom of the
pond should be more or less muddy, and the
water from say one to three feet in depth.
Tie stone to the bulb or root sufficiently
heavy to keep it in its place at the bottom.
Then with a stick with blunt end gently
force it into the mud and let it alone. we
have no doubt that if the bulb is suffic.
ieutly weighty it would grow by merely
letting it drop to the bottom. Still, push
ing it carefully into the mud is the surest.
The planting should take place in the
spring or fall. Now is as favorable a
time as any.

As YOu Like If.

The Philadelphia Times thinks that
Judge Livingston's chief trouble as
Judge is his excessive amiability, and
believes that in his second term he will
bravely conquer this weakness. The
man towards whom his amlability has
chiefly been extended, to his own detri.
ment, it considers to be his associate,
Judge Patterson, whom he permitted to
lead him to agree to "the illegal and
impolitic arraignment of two reputable
members of the bar for contempt
and misbcllavior in Office and
a foolish if not malicious dis
missal from the bar" We doubt very
much whether Judge Livingston will
feel properly grateful for such defense ::
certainly he has no reason to SO feel. A
judge who is led by " amiability'' into
" malice,'' must be of a queer compost
tion and to the people whom he judges
itdoes not matter much whether it is the
malice or the amiability. that leads him
for the particular occasion into injustice.
The Times affords Judge Livingston an
opportunity to ponder whether it is nice
to be deemed the amiable tool in the ma
licious acts of his associate probably,
when he gets through balancing the
pros and cons, he would like just as
well to be attributed little more inde-
pendence, even at the cost of trading off
q share of his amiability for an addition.
al share of malice.
