done was Jeff .Strickland’s. 11 ere it
unroofed his dwelling, hut no one
was hurt. The next place was Tom
Lawrence's, unroofing his house, lay

Lawrence is held in Atlanta for
illicit distilling, and his wife and
children are in a most pitiable con

*
in a nourishing mining town
known as Chipp’s Flat, Sierra coun
ty, thirty years ago, the location of
the claims and the mining law
ulopted thereunder were such that
one continuous war of litigation
was the result. Two mining com
panies having conflicting claims,
seeing the almost impossibility of
settling their disputes by a resort
to the District Courts, mutually
agreed to try their cause before a
Justice of tin.! Peace and a jury of
twelve miners selected from those
having river claims on the Middle
Yuba. A.S. McMillan, of Minne
sota, the banking and express agent
of Langton’s express and banking-
house at Downieville, had been
elected Justice ot the Pence for the
township, ineluding ALinnesota and
Chipp’s Flat in 1850. So it was
agreed that he should preside,
and the trial came off early in the
year 1851 nt Chipp’s Flat. In order
that sufficient room should he had
for the parties litigant and their
friends, the billiard and liquor
saloon of Paul Copperas (now living
at Snow Point, in Nevada county,
just a little east of South Minnesota)
was chosen as the most spacious
building in town. Tlrb trial com
menced promptly at !) o’clock in the
morning and occupied the entire
day.
Both of the parties litigant had
plenty of money, and each seemed
to vie with the other in liberality
during the progress of the trial.
Lawyers had been provided for
each side to conduct the case, and
it must be presumed that they felt
no interest in putting a stop to the
liberality of their respective clients.
At all events, frequent recesses of
the court were had during that day,
of five minutes each, when refresh
ments would la 1 served mostly of a
liquid character. Just too McMillan
was not erudite in the law; hut if
there was one thing in which he
exhibited groat pride it was to be
addressed as “Your Honor,” while
presiding in a ease. Anything
more familiar than that always
roused ids ire. The numerous
adjournments which the court took
tins day had more perceptible
effect on the presiding Justice than
on any one else connected with the
ease, though champagne and whis
ky had been freely imbibed all
around. Plenty of substantial in
the eating line had boon provided,
in order that the ease might be de
termined at one sitting. The testi
mony was all in at 5 o’clock, and
the counsel had concluded their
arguments at a little before !>.
Realizing the fact tlmt many thous
ands of dollars were involved in the
suit, McAlillnn thought it incum
bent on him for the first and last
time in ids life to deliver a charge
to the jury, and did so. By this
time the frequent adjournments
at once broke for the timber, he fol
lowing closely and threatening
deatli to each and all unless they
returned to the court-room. But
the jury outfooted the Judge and
took shelter among the timber.
That jury never reassembled to
render its verdict. The members
of the two mining companies in
litigation met that night in a spirit
of the best humor (in fact, they had
been so all day) talked over the
abrupt dispersion of the jury, and
mutually agreed to divide the min
ing ground in dispute. And that
ended the last litigation on Chipp’s
Flat, but all those conversant with
tin 1 facts of the ending of tins trial
still maintain tlmt on this occasion
McMillan’s charge to the jury was
the most remarkable of all time.
About eight years ago, says a
Norwich, Conn., special of March
the 22d, to the Boston Globe, a Dr. |
Gay was living with his wife on a
comfortable farm in the town of
Griswold, and practicing His pro-j
Cession among the farmers of the
neighborhood an 1 the operatives in
Jewett City. There was a promis
ing family growing up, and su Hi -
cient income for its needs was had,
hut the doctor was ambitious, lie
persuaded his wife to sell the farm,
which came to her by inheritance,
and move to Norwich that he ought
extend 11is practice. After getting
possession of the money, which the
sale of the homestead yielded, the
doctor skipped away with a woman
named Bromley, who had made no
less than seven previous matrimoni
al alliances. The one proceeding her
elopement with Dr, Gay was made 1
with a one-eyed shoemaker. Airs.
Gay was left destitute by her hus
band’s flight, and had her little fam
ily to care for. She was feeble, and
for seven years 1ms been depend
ent on the towns of Griswold and
Norwich for a part of her support.
The guilty pair lied to West Point,
Neb., where the doctor established
a drug business, and throve - like a
green bay tree until about a year
ago, when lie died. At West Point
he had assumed the name of Gray,
and he and the Bromley woman
had passed as husband and wife
without question; so no suspicions
were excited when the reputed wife
took out letters of administration
on liis estate and claimed to be sole
heir. Sin 1 disposed of the drug
business to a resident of West Point
for if J,000 receiving $2,000 in cash
and a note for $1,000 for the balance.
With tin 1 $2,000 she came back Fast
and placed the money in the hands
of her father for investment. This
winter F. K. Valentino, member of
Congress, from Nebraska, who had
known Gray at West Point, and
heard him say that lie had lived at
Norwich at one time, asked Colo
Fish with Legs.
In a tank in Fish Commissioner
Backford’s office, Fulton Market,
says the New York Sun, of the 17th
inst., iloated an amphibious reptile
yesterday. It was white, about
three inches long, and resembled a
fresh-water bullhead in shape, ex
cept that it was longer, more slen
der and it lmd four legs. Near the
end of its broad fiat nose, that re
sembled a toad’s, were two black
eyes.
“Fish with legs,” is the name giv
en to'it by the native Mexicans in
the neighborhood of the high moun
tain lakes where they are found,
said Professor Itiee, Mr. Blackford’s
assistant. The native name is axi-
loti. They are remarkable in many
ways, but this little fellow has a
claim to fame, for he is the first of
the species born and reared here by

Prof. Rice took a splint from a
broom, and spread a tiny Hit of
liver with it, and as soon as the
flesh was under the water, the axil-
oti’s eyes snapped, and it leaped
forward like a trout for u fly. The
meat disappeared in its wide
mouth, and the end of the broom
splint was held s > firmly in its teeth
that the creature had to be shaken
off.
I used to feed it with a pair of
dividers, said Prof. Itiee, but now it
is risky, as it might rush oil the
points and put an eye out or lirpak
one of its jaws. We don’t want to
lose it, for it is the only young one
left out of hundreds of eggs that
hutched out. The female 1ms been
laying eggs to-day.
In another tank was the two ux-
ilotis, and on the surface of the
water floated a green vine, to
which were attached hundreds of
eggs clustered like grapes. The
mother deposits them while she is
crawling slowly over the vine.—
When first hutched the little uxi-
lotis can scarcely he seen, they are
so small and transparent, and they
nearly all die.
From experiments with the axil
oti, Prof. Rice continued, it appears
that it is Hu 1 larval condition of a
family of putrachiuns usually re
garded as a distinct family. After
being kept for a long time, a meta
morphosis is seen in the reptiles.—
Dark spots appear on thi* sides of
the tail, and tlie membrane which
runs along the backbone disappears.
Then gradually the lungs on the
outside of tlie gills are absorbed, :
and the creature conies to the sur
face of the water more frequently ;
all about him. Colonel Valentine
lost no time in acquainting the au
thorities of West Point with the
fraud the Bromley woman lmd per
petrated, and a week ago, when she
arrived in West Point, whether she
had gone to collect the $1,000 note,
they got terms with her whereby
she agreed to make restitution for
the whole $0,000 in consideration of
criminal prosecution being waived.
She telegraphed home to her father
to have the money forwarded *it
once, and on Thursday the first Se
lect Men of Griswold came to Nor
wich and purchased a draft for
$1,900 in favor of the proper author
ities at West Point. There is con
siderable regret that Dr. Gay could
not have been a sharer in some sort
of punishment. Airs. Gay and her
children will come in for the estate.
The Bromley woman will doubtless
stay in the wild, wild West.
