A Lawyer's Trick.—A shrewd trick to
identify the handwriting ofa party ina suit
was resorted to in case tried in the Supreme
Court, New York, on Wednesday. A man,
his wife and son, made a joint note, all these
signing their names. Whro the uote came
due it was repudiated, and the holders eomtnenced suit. No difficulty was found in regard to the identity of the signatures of the
husband and son, but ne one hould be obtained to identify the handwriting of the wife.
In this dilemma the counsel for the holder of
the note got an Express monied envelope in
which he puta

CALAvVEnAS Coprer Mines.—The mminy
season has checked business at Copperopolis,
and put an.end temporarily, to further prospecting, though parcels of ore continue to be
exhumed and torwarded for shipment. The
Union and Keystone companies are working
about fifty men each, taking out as much ere
as ever, according to a correspondence in
the Calaveras Chronicle.
Coat Miyes Discoverep.—Out of evil
comes some good. The recent heavy rains
have so saturated the earth that land slides
are prevailing all over the country. One of
these ececurred on the Petaluma valley side
of the Senoma mountain, and has revealed to
view the lead of a coal mine. Of how extensive a nature it-is, we cannot at present
tell. —Sonome County Journal.
