es oet MAE 19. alee Fand of Placer county is thirty-odd ‘thousand, dollars short this'year, and for a tithe there ‘Was some talk over there in favor of attempting to issue bonde to meet the deficiency. This step has been decided against, however, and ‘the indebtedness will be gradually. wiped out by levying from year to. year @ tax in excess of the amount required for the current expenses, the surplus to be applied on settling old scores, In the meantime the creditors of the county are unable to even obtain interest on their unpaid claims, ‘the Auditor refusing to issue warrents. Foracounty to thus treat ‘persons who have just claims against it is the next thing to repudiation. For an individual to treat hia creditors 80 would be the next thing to robbery and about as reprehensible. Nevada county adopted che only honorable course that is open in such an emergency, pd TRE BULLETIN’S FRANCHISE. Now that the Supreme Court has decided that a franchise can be assessed, and the Assessor of San Francisco has decided to assess all fran: -ehises, we hope he will not overlook the Boss Tax Howler, the Bulletin. This institution could not be bought for less than $150,000, but heretofore has been assessed in the neighborhood of $15,000. If the value of a franchise is the difference between the value of the property ‘of the corporation and the selling price of the capital stock, as decided in the Spring Valley Water case, it follows that the Bulletin should be assessed ‘and pay taxes on a $135,000 fran———— Georer DonnELLy, a twelve-yearold buccaneer, deserted his home in San Francisco about three weeks ago and by the aid of a trusty pistol, which he somehow acquired, has made a good living by stopping children on their way to school and taking away their lunches and whatever money he found on them. His _.career_.was suddenly. -cut. short for the present, on Monday, by officers Mahoney and aor, who agen him, ee : Henry Fiemina was hanged at Pittsburg, Calhoun county, Miss:; fora murder committed two years ago. An immense crowd witnessed the execution: Fleming was cool and self-possessed. When at the gallows he attempted to kill himself with a small pocket-knife, but the “wound was not fatal. His neck was broken by the fall, and the struggle lasted but an instant. A MAN named Thomas Moore was struck on the head with-a-beer glass at Winnemucca, on the 15th, by Joseph Pergue, a hard character. Moore died next morning, and an autopsy showed that his skull was fractured by the blow. Pergue was arrested and is now in jail, He was driven out of several camps in this State, and has a bad reputation. Tue case of Booth, the ‘Champion Bicyclist,” who ran away from San Francisco last week with $2,000 and diamond earings belonging to his fiance, avers that he ‘‘picked Mrs. Weeden up in Australia;” that he paid her passage to California, but that he left her in disgust, as she was in the habit of getting drunk, Tue Board of Supervisors of Merced county have fixed the following rates for county license for retail liquor dealers ; Those making sales of $2,000 and over, $45 per month ; those whose sales are $1,000 per month and under $2,000, at $30 per month’; those whose sales are less than $1,000, at $15 month. a ee Tue members of a Lodge of Red Men in Stockton had-a aan experience the other night. A well dressed stranger applied for admission as a visitor, and worked his way in satisfactorily, but soon after cormenced making a speech, when it was discovered that he ‘was insane. He-was properly cared ‘o~. Wa.

Do not be deluded into taking m sul ok by Justice Brayton in Sam’s . « } basement of 251 Clark eon hich is “Fool Mints for cold. The Mining Press gives an interUnited States of Colombia. The contrivance of the native for keeping himeelf at the bottom of a pool while engaged in collecting the detritus and sand from. among the bowlders and out of the crevices in the formation, is very rude but effective. It isas follows : He selects an oblong quadrangular stone, weighing ten or twelve pounds. One side of this he. makes concave, to be adapted to the nape of the neck, and then about it works a netting. To this is attached a broad, flexible hand of tough bark by both of its ends, and of such a length as to be slipped readily over far as the forehead, while the stone is resting on the nape of tle neck. With the stone thus arranged upon his neck, and armed with the almocafre and batea, he is prepared for work, Tle almocafre is a peculiar tool. The blade has a semi-eliptical shape, is about nine inches long and two inches broad at its base, with a gradual taper to the point, -which—is blunt. The shank, which is in direct line with the long axis of the instrument, is cylindrical and re-' ceives a handle about eight inches in length, With this implement, which is made of tough well-tempered steel, the gold seeker scrapes and digs among the holders in the streams, and in the cracks and crevices of the strata everywhere. Being prepared with this, the ‘‘batea” and the stone, the miner. cautiously wades to that depth where he can retain his foothold, with his head above the water ; then, throwing himself forward into the water, the weight of the stone bears his head downward into the pool. At the bottom he secures the batea stationary, by putting a stone into it ; and then grouping about with the ‘talmocafre” in hand, he scrapes together the auriferous sand and fills the batea, Before the batea is loaded, the diver is compelled, perhaps several’ times, to rise to the surface for fresh air, and this he does by slipping the band from his forehead and casting off the stone. After rising to the surface he swims to the place where he can gain a foothold as before, and} then drawing towards him the stone, by means of a cord attached to it, he replaces it Oh bis neck, and after he is sufficiently refreshed dives in the same manner. The batea is necessarily always retained where the depth of the water, is not greater than the diver’s hight, as it would be otherwise impossible for him to raise the batea full of sand. By this rade and tedious management does the gold of pools, which have not generally a greater depth than his own hight. In tuis country this. kind of gold mining has been done by dredges aod vaccuum pumps; but our system has the disadvantage of nut yetiing any gold though more san. aad° water is raised. At least that has been be experience so tar. Tue Metropolitan Club of New York have arranged with John Sullivan, the champion’ pugilist in the world, to pitch a game of base ball for the Metropolitan Club at the Polo ground.
