The next place was Tom Lawrence's, unroofing his house, lay ing wreck timber and fencing.

Sun 1-TanelM'n Cull. * 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 hand. His parents were brought here from Paris, whither they had boon sent from Alexico. White ax- , u q j„hnT.

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.

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.
