One of the provisions of the election law is that the tickets must be twelve inches long and. that the printed matter must be ‘‘single leaded,’ and-—in loug primer type. In San Francisco sixty-two officers are to be voted for, and their names and those of the offices they seek cannot be printed ou a twelve inch ticket in legal form. The Post assumes that thi. renders impossible the election of the successors of those now in effice until the law is changed—-but this assumption is probably an exaggeration. Ifthe tickets are printed as near the manner required by law aspossible, ‘there is no doubt but they will pass muster in the courts. A Oxurstta4n Sxaveater.—The Enterprise says: On Tuesday afternoon, about.2 o’clock, as a construction train on the Virginia City and Truckee Railroad was running from the vicinity of the Brunswick cut, down toward Carson, with a crowd of Chinese labors on board, a most shocking accidemat occurred. At a poiht near the Morgan mill oné of the cars got off the track. This created a sudden panic among the Chithe cars. Just at the point where this occurred there was on the upper side of the track @ ‘“% high bank. In jumping from the cars the Chinamany of ‘them rolled back agains men sprang against this bank i outright, one was so badly mangled that he was left about the same as dead, and several were slightly injared. -Had they remained upon the car on which they -were riding, not one would have been hurt. After the accident not one of those left alive would remain with the dead, though the Lacs had been after them.

Oscar Maltman of the chlorination works, near this city; has gone: to Meadow Lake District, to try his process on the sulphurets in: that locality. fixtures with him, and will put up the works at the U.

A correspondent says: He Will have his works completed ig the course of a month or ax weeks, and will be able to make determinate tests very soon thereafter. A good deal of insince we may consider the case of ‘Meadow Lake almost hopeless if the difficulties here should baffle one who has so long made the treatment of sulphuretted ores aspeciality.

Medical and Surgical Journal just issued, says of the late sensation: Some of the San Fruncis-. co newspapers are afflicted with Chinese leprosy. Two or three’ cases of the disease among the Chinese were reported two years ago, and now after two years incubation, it is communicated to the managers of the press. A writer who adds “M.D.” to his name, appears to be severely afflicted, and would be consoled by the appointment of a Medical Officer, who has had experience in the disease, to look after it—himself having had experience, and so forth.

One of the provisions of the election law is that the tickets must be twelve inches long and. that the printed matter must be ‘‘single leaded,’ and-—in loug primer type. In San Francisco sixty-two officers are to be voted for, and their names and those of the offices they seek cannot be printed ou a twelve inch ticket in legal form. The Post assumes that thi. renders impossible the election of the successors of those now in effice until the law is changed—-but this assumption is probably an exaggeration. Ifthe tickets are printed as near the manner required by law aspossible, ‘there is no doubt but they will pass muster in the courts. A Oxurstta4n Sxaveater.—The Enterprise says: On Tuesday afternoon, about.2 o’clock, as a construction train on the Virginia City and Truckee Railroad was running from the vicinity of the Brunswick cut, down toward Carson, with a crowd of Chinese labors on board, a most shocking accidemat occurred. At a poiht near the Morgan mill oné of the cars got off the track. This created a sudden panic among the Chithe cars. Just at the point where this occurred there was on the upper side of the track @ ‘“% high bank. In jumping from the cars the Chinamany of ‘them rolled back agains men sprang against this bank i outright, one was so badly mangled that he was left about the same as dead, and several were slightly injared. -Had they remained upon the car on which they -were riding, not one would have been hurt. After the accident not one of those left alive would remain with the dead, though the Lacs had been after them.

Medical and Surgical Journal just issued, says of the late sensation: Some of the San Fruncis-. co newspapers are afflicted with Chinese leprosy. Two or three’ cases of the disease among the Chinese were reported two years ago, and now after two years incubation, it is communicated to the managers of the press. A writer who adds “M.D.” to his name, appears to be severely afflicted, and would be consoled by the appointment of a Medical Officer, who has had experience in the disease, to look after it—himself having had experience, and so forth. We cannot learn that a solitary case of leprosy exists, or has lately existed in the city, except among the’ <= Fish Cunrong.—About four years ago a portion of the people-of Folmento fish and placed them in. the large reservoir-abovetown, For two years no one was allowed to catch them, but last year and this year large numbers have been caught, principally perch and pike, of large size and excellent quality.
