from that precinct. On investigation we find that Mr. Galloway was appointed but did not serve. The
officers of the election at Allison Ranch, where according to an affidavit in our possession an infamous
fraud was perpetrated, were—Inspector George Fitzgerald; Judges, Thomas Paine and P. J. Cullen.
ASSAULT AND BATTERY.—D. A. Howard was tried before Justice Smith yesterday for assault
and battery on John H. Campbell. The parties quarreled about a boundary line. Campbell used rough
language and struck what Howard conceived to be a menacing attitude, whereupon the latter walked
into the former and thrashed him rather severely. A witness testified that he had prevented another party
from pulling Howard off until Campbell “holloed enough,” and he did not know that he was committing
any offense in doing do. His opinion was that the under man in a fight ought to be permitted to take his
punishment, even to biting off his nose and gouging out his eyes, until he “holloed enough.” The Court
didn’t see it. Mr. Howard was ordered to appear this morning for sentence.

mitigating circumstances.

FIVE DAYS’ RACING.—The proprietor of the Glenbrook Course, Mr. Charles Osborne, gives
notice that the Summer races will commence on Tuesday, June 13th, and continue five days. He expects
that Lodi, Norfolk, and all the horses now at the Ocean House, including some of the best in the State,
will be on the ground and participate in the sport. Full particulars will appear in our advertising columns
to-morrow.
THE ORPHAN ASYLUM.—Work on the Catholic Orphan Asylum at Grass Valley is being pushed
rapidly forward. The first story will be completed this week. The original intention was to have finished
the second and third stories with wood; but the committee now have it in contemplation to build them of
brick. This will give one story fourteen feet high of stone, and two stories of twelve and a-half feet each,
of brick. When completed the Asylum will be at once an ornament and a benefit to the town.
