The Indians on Nome Lackee Reeervation,
have bad a glorious rabbit buat lately, having
caught and killed during a few hours, handreds of these animals, The method adopted
by the bunters is very simple. A number of
nets are procured and stretched between stakes,
which are planted in the ground similar to
fence posts. A space about equal to the length
of the net is left between each one, which is
guarded by parties placed there for that parpose. Another party scours the brush, which
frightens the rabbit and it immediately tries
to escape. The first effort isto try aud get
through the space, but itis met there by too
much opposition, It then makes for the net in
which it gets entangled, and before it can extricate itself it is dispatched with a club.
A very singular proceeding, or rather a failure to proceed, on the part of the Coroner of
Santa Clara county, is related by the San Jose
Tribune. It appears that the body of a man
was found floating in the slough near Alviso,
and the Coroner was notified but declined acting in the premises, on the presumption that
the law considers only such subjects as have
been felonivusly killed, to be proper subjects
for an inquest, whereas this man had in all
probility fallen into the water while in a state
of intoxication, A Justice of the Peace held
an inquest upon the body and it was ascertained that the name of the deceased was Alexander Gardener, The cause of bis death was
not found,
A tragical affair occurred at San Jose, on
Tuesday, Feb, 29th, growing out of the late
murder of Paul C. Shore, The trial of Thomas
Seal and Alex. Robb for the murder had commenced that day, 8, J. Crosby, a witness for
Seal, and who was also implicated in the mur
der, was shot and inslantly killed by Thomas
Shore, a brother of the murdered man, Mr. L
P. Ferguson was also killed by a stray bullet. .
The testimony before the Cornorer’s jury, as
to whether Crosby or Shore fired the first shot,
is conflicting.
Officer Blitz, says the S. F. Times, saved the
lives of a lady and her child on Sunday, by
springing at the bead of a runaway horse attached to a buggy, near the corner of Second
and Market streets, and arresting bim in his}
mad career. But for this gallant act, the lady
and child must have been seriously injured or
killed. The grateful lady offered ber preserver
a handsome pecuniary reward but be refused it,
satisfied with having preserved the lives of two
fellow beings,
The Marysville Democrat says that parties
ia that city are setting on foot an enterprise
which has for its object an immediate telegraphic connection between Marysville and Nevada,
via Timbucktoo, Rough & Ready and Grass Valley. At present, electric commanication between the two places must be had all the way

Several gentlemen in our town, on Monday
night last, near mida enjoyed the extrapores . tee, of witnessing a most beautiful and perfect lavar rainbow, — ,
A tuner rainbow is of very rare occurrence,
ary Ter Polecane anne firat te make
a note non, For more than a
hundred cars Brier. to, ths a lagie of the last
century, not more than two or three lunar
raintiowe were described with accuracy. During his life-time. Professor Dick was affo
only two opportunities to witness the cu
phenomenon. :
The lunar rainbow is in @ manner
precisely similur to that in which the sua or
day rainbow is produced, It is uceed by
the rays of the moon—the reflected rays of the
sun—striking on a rain cloud. Owing to the
raye of light from the moon being weak, the
bow reflected appears perfectly white, The
bow is not separated into the prismatic colors
of the eun upon a rain cloud. The lunar rainbow can never be uced except when the
moon is near its fu ‘VEY
Those who were so fortunate as to witness
the rare phenomenon on Monday ni say
that the moon was in the south east, that
the perfect bow which formed rested, apparently, ove foot near the mouth of Spring creek,
and the other between the county hospital and
the Western Divide, In appearance it was
prrely white, After looking at it for some
time—about twenty minutes—it commenced
fading at the western foot. The cootinuance
of the bow was not carefully noted,
There is, perbaps, no phenomena of the heavens more rare than the lunar rainbow. They
occur so seldom as to be worthy of particular
mention, From the descriptions we have received, we are satisfied that those tlemen
who saw the lunar rainbow on Monday night
witnessed one of the most beautifal pictures
ever painted in the clouds—that it was seen
in its freshness and mild fallness—a chaste and
beautiful picture of the night that but few eyes
have ever been allowed to behold.—Shasta Re.
