They could get no one to goon their bail bond, and now they offer to give up all open air miovéments in the future; and to make no more incendiary speeches if they are set at liberty and the prosecution against them quashed. These men are a disprofess to lead. No -honest working man would for an instant think of following in the path of violence which they point eut. The good labor is not to be attained by burning property and killing men because they have made fortunes, and the intelligept working man knows this. : Oakland Preperty. As instance of the wonderful advance in the price’ of freal. estate in Oakland in the last few years, the Transcript gives the following: About this time of the year in 1867 x shingle, nailed to an oak tree on a vacant lot at the corner of Fourteenth street and Broadway, bore this inviting legend; ‘For sale— $4,000.” Before the end of the next year, the same property was valued at $70,000, without any improvemvents in the meantime. Yesterday, on making inquiry of a wellinformed man of business, we were . told that the same Square, only half built on as yet, is worth $320,000Two years hence, when the whole lot shall have been built over, it will be Worth not less than ® halt o million.A Battery Case. The Union says Justice Paynter's Court was engaged three or four days in trying a battery case. The school teacher of the Indian Springs district was-the detendant in the matter, and his name is William Herrod. It appears he severely whipped a fourteen-year old lad that fifty-one severe lashes were given to the boy, and that the result was a black and blue skin. The testimony slowed that the boy deserved something of a lashing, but it was thought the téacher exceeded the bounds of justice and moderation. Hence the prosecution. The jury in the case “hung,” which means they could not agree. The scriptural thirty-nine lashes should only be given in the worst case, is what we think. The battery case is to be tried again.

Mrs William Yan Voothees, a -woman with three young children and about to become a mother again, had, after living upbappily with her bhusband in theirhome on the outskirts of the village,"been deserted and left desolate and despondent.

On Thursday night about 9o0’clock, her dwelling was discovered in flames. and when the neighbors reached the honse and bur-t in tho doors, they proceeded to her bedroom, where a shoeking Spectacle met their eyes. The mother, nearly naked lay face down in the bed with her 2 youngest children in the Same position by her side. The hb air ‘sealp and portions of the arms wee burned off from each, and the blazi g rafters from ubove were falling down upon them. The body of the eldest boy, xged 10 years, was found bebind the bedroom door burned to a crisp. Blood was found spattered on the bedclothes and upon the motier’s garments. Appearances indicate that the woman had poisoned herself and children, and that life was extinct be‘fore the flames reached them. No marks of violence could be discover. ed upon the bodies, -but the nuatter is being rigidly investigated. November Elections.

After realizing when regaining: sensibility that he was nigh unto death, he directed as to the disposal of his ete fects, and signed the dochment with charactéristic coolaess, never flinching from the fate that facéd him. nor expressing a word offear. Peace to his memory, poor fellow, we regret the untimely end. “a aa The San Francisco ‘Communists. cisco, have begun to weaken sadly after passing a couple of days behind the prison bars. They could get no one to goon their bail bond, and now they offer to give up all open air miovéments in the future; and to make no more incendiary speeches if they are set at liberty and the prosecution against them quashed. These men are a disprofess to lead. No -honest working man would for an instant think of following in the path of violence which they point eut. The good labor is not to be attained by burning property and killing men because they have made fortunes, and the intelligept working man knows this. : Oakland Preperty. As instance of the wonderful advance in the price’ of freal. estate in Oakland in the last few years, the Transcript gives the following: About this time of the year in 1867 x shingle, nailed to an oak tree on a vacant lot at the corner of Fourteenth street and Broadway, bore this inviting legend; ‘For sale— $4,000.” Before the end of the next year, the same property was valued at $70,000, without any improvemvents in the meantime. Yesterday, on making inquiry of a wellinformed man of business, we were . told that the same Square, only half built on as yet, is worth $320,000Two years hence, when the whole lot shall have been built over, it will be Worth not less than ® halt o million.A Battery Case. The Union says Justice Paynter's Court was engaged three or four days in trying a battery case. The school teacher of the Indian Springs district was-the detendant in the matter, and his name is William Herrod. It appears he severely whipped a fourteen-year old lad that fifty-one severe lashes were given to the boy, and that the result was a black and blue skin. The testimony slowed that the boy deserved something of a lashing, but it was thought the téacher exceeded the bounds of justice and moderation. Hence the prosecution. The jury in the case “hung,” which means they could not agree. The scriptural thirty-nine lashes should only be given in the worst case, is what we think. The battery case is to be tried again.

Mrs William Yan Voothees, a -woman with three young children and about to become a mother again, had, after living upbappily with her bhusband in theirhome on the outskirts of the village,"been deserted and left desolate and despondent.

The hb air ‘sealp and portions of the arms wee burned off from each, and the blazi g rafters from ubove were falling down upon them. The body of the eldest boy, xged 10 years, was found bebind the bedroom door burned to a crisp. Blood was found spattered on the bedclothes and upon the motier’s garments. Appearances indicate that the woman had poisoned herself and children, and that life was extinct be‘fore the flames reached them. No marks of violence could be discover. ed upon the bodies, -but the nuatter is being rigidly investigated. November Elections.
