The foreman Of the Grand Jury, Mr..
Hey NJ. Brian, informs us that the grand
Jury had found twenty-one bills OF in
dictmeut; all OF which were for minor
offenses. The cause Of the apparently
large number of bills, is due to the fact
that there was no session of the grand
iury at the June term Of our court, owing
to the excessive rains aud high waters.
which made it impossible for jurors and
witnesses to attend. We will furnish our

Gallant Conduet

Yesterdays telegraph spoke of the gallant
services OF the crew of the HeRry P. Warner
OF Portland in rescuing the crew of the
schooner W. P. Hood of Providence. The
Providence Journal says: "wednesday, April
9th, the distressed schooner was spoken by the
bark Henry Warner, Portland, Me-, but the
sea was rolling so heavy that Capt. Read was
unable to render any assistance. He promised,
however, and did lay by for about twenty
tour hours until the sea subsidized somewhat
when he called for volunteers to go to the dis
sbled vessel. The sea was rough and none
Of the seamen would undertake the task of
rendering succor. First Mate G. B. Guptill
and the second mate said they would 60, and
the two brave men started with provisions for
the crew Of the distressed schooner, and sue
ceeded, after considerable difficulty, in accom-
plishtng their self-imposed and dangerous task.
30 high was the sea running that the boat con-
tanning the mates of the Henry Warner was
washed on to the deck of the schooner, and
was seized by the Hoods crew to prevent its
being carried off again."

Alleged Threats.

The Swedish bark Maria, Capt. Guibbsteip,
arrived in the harbor Sunday from Porto Rico
with sugar. On board was Russiao Finn, a
common sailor, who shipped for the round
trip. Yesterday morning the captain COM
planned that this sailor had threatened his life
and also to burn the vessel and on his COM
plant Officers Slower and Sterling went off to
the vessel, lying in the lower harbor, and
arrested the man and took him to the station,
where he was locked up, to be kept till the
vessel is ready to sail. The sailor says his
arrest is to keep him here till the vessel sails,
which will be over the time for which he was
shipped, as the captain has done with other
sailors, whom he has now restrained on board
the ship, tho timesf for which they shipped
having expired some months ago. He denies
making threats.

1854 Per Ton is What the Black Sand Of
Snake River Yielded.

Several weeks since H. s. Cheasbro
with a force of men gathered up some
thing like II ton of black sand on Snake
river, near Walter & McOuat's ferry, aud
sent it to Omaha for testing. 1t had
never been supposed that this sand con
tanned gold. and it had never been tried;
the question always being how to get
rid OF it III mining the banks and bars III
the river. Mr.. Cheasbro informs us that
he has just received the returns ON the
sand sent to Omaha, and the test proved
it to he worth 1854 per ton. The result
was unlocked for as startling; and he
thinks that on the strength of it the
Rhode Island Co., to whom he sold his
interest ON Snake river, will now come
out and go ahead with the dam and 9th
er contemplated work; in fact, they write
that snch is their intention. Boiss
