An Oversight.
The other day the TRrANscrirT
published an extract from an article regarding the Smith case that
appeared ithe San Jose Mereury.
We unintentiona'ly negiected tostat :
that “the Mercury expressed its
opinions while laboring under an
impression that the verdict was for
manslaughter instead of murder in
the second degree.

The Debris Commitssioxcers.
Messrs, Searts, Parks and Knox,
the Drainage ‘Commissioners, have
been busily engaged et Sacramento
for several days past conferring with
\contractors, examining bills, reports,
etc., and considering all matters af“fecting the object of the-cominission.
It was thought they would conclude
their business yesterday.

. Tue Alta of Friday says: A letter
has been received here from one of
the ‘‘inside” men in Eastern politics,
asserting that in all probabilities exGovernor Reuben E. Fenton, ‘of New
York, will be offered the position of
Secretary of the Tréasury in Presiden Garfield's Cabinet. Governor
Fenton has many. aequaintanees in
this State, having spent five months
during the past year with us. He
recently visited Gemeral Garfield at
Mentor, by request of the Presidentelect. They have been close friends
for years.
a
Tug San Francisco Daily Report
makes this well-grounded suggeation:
A subscription should be raised to
present each one of the Eastern mining papers with a map of the Pac fic
Coast States and Territories so that
the editors may glance at the wall
and see at aglance that Nevada is
notin Arizona, that Califoriia” is
not a part of Storey county (Nev.),
“fad that Nevada county (Cal.) is
mot in the State of Nevada,
Tue Free Lance exposes its hand
“every time it moves a muscle. We
ean readily imagine how gladly it
would like to help bring about a
split among the Republican Assemblymen who are going to vote for 9
United States Senator soon, and thiis
succeed in running in a Democrat
“who would only lack ten votes of being eleeted if the Republicans wore
kept solid.
A‘ REMARKABLE suicide lately oc‘curred in New York, -A man was
found hanging‘in his-room, who -had
evidently destroyed himself to ‘avoid
starvation, with an open Bible before him. « The struggle between
faith and despair, hope and poverty,
which the combinatiou of the Bible
and halter iadicated, reminds one, of
the old story @f Plate and ‘the «lngger. ‘

Mrs. Wm. Hurd of this place has
the very cheering prospect, if she
‘lives long enough, of obtaiiing geveral milliona of dollars as hér share
of the Springer estate, -which property consists of some 187000 acres of
jand on which is located the city of
Wilmington, Delaware.Nine gangs of ®hinamen were paid
off in town the other day. ‘TLey had
$10,000 coming to them. We are informed tkat in less than a day over
two thirds of the’ money had been
shipped by express toa firm in San
-Francisco, who are to forward % to
China. That is where the money

The ice ponds at Boca and Prosser
Creek were nitely covered with ice
previous to the storm, and we unstand the different companies were
preparing to commence the harvest.
The snow coming on necessitated the
employment of men to sweep it off
until clear weather _eomes agatn‘when the work of filliag the ice
ouses will begin.
»Ton. Robinson went to Tahoe City
Wednesday, with an eight horse
team. ‘Thursday morning be found
the snow from fifteen to eighteen
inches deep. John Hyslop was also
liere with Moody’s two horse stage.
‘he two teams were started about
nine o’clock, and:arrived here at 6.
They found-the snow in places drift‘ed across the road to a depth of
three or four feet. With shoveling
and continued work they made the
town, but declare it the roughest
trip they ever mae.

morning, but when it had gone
runners
snow became so deep that the driver
had to‘leaveit,and barely succeeded
the horses; ~-Friday morning several more hotses were secured. at
Eereka and an_effort was made
to break the road through to where
the sled had been left. After the
horses had floundered around for
some time in snow that was up to
their backs, the undertaking had to
be abandoned. It was reported .
that another attempt would be made
yesterday to get the road open, abl
though our informant thought, there:
was but slight chance of getting

Totally Wrecked,
The dilapidated frame buildir g on
te lower side of Sacramento street,
midway betweenthe Plaza and the
Narrow Gauge depot, which was
formerly used as a machine shop, but
has for several years been occupiéd
only by tramps who could® secure a
tiights’s lodging there on the soft
side of plank without money or cost,
has at last gone the way of all earthly things. Night before ‘ast, being
unable longer to bear the weight of
the snow on the roof, the old ruin
collapsed, and the timbers went
sliding down towards Deer ereek, It
has been an eyesore for a long time,
and nobody will mourn its downfall,
Whe Suntth Case.
To-morrow morning is the time
set by the Superior Court of this
county to sentence George W. Smith
who killed T. W. Sigourney, It is
generally believed that the prisoner's
counsel will move fer his release on
the grounds that the verdict was
not properly recorded, The outcome
of all this terrible trouble will be
awaited with great interest. ‘ :

R. Mc Murray, Superintendent of
the Eureka Lake Company, went
to Moore's Flat the other day with
his horses and carriage, and
when he was ready to leave Friday
the snow had become so deep he
could not drive out, The carriage
was taken to pieces, laid on a sled,
hauled through the deep snow, and
then put together again,

sluices leading therefrom are lined

says: ‘‘You have not seen the Island
