A Mrs. Oliver, of San Fnv.K'iseo, Avas dangerously, if not iiitally bun.ed, by a switch of false hair catching lire from a candle, recently. The recent riot at Los Angeles, Cal., Avas . a most barlarous and criminial a flair. About $10,000 were stolen from the Chinese, and other valuables amounting to half as much more, were also taken. TIkj houses were riddled with balls, ami even the roofs were torn up by the white rioters. The tire in the hold of the bark Whistlcr, San Francisco, after it had been burning three weeks, was at last extinguished by pumping carbonic acid into the hold.

A Coroner's jury in the case of the death of John Iserly, who died suddenly at Eugene on Thurs day last, rendered a verdict of deatli from narcotic poison, ad ministered by some person unknown. Some believe that he suicided, while others think he was drugged. It appears that a number of c!tizei:sof Lane county, have brok en faith with the Oregon and Cali fornla Pa.lroal Company, and that suite have been commenced in some instances to quiet title to lands occupied by the road. . A man named Body was arrest ed hj Sheriff Poindexter of Lane county, a few days ago, for sell ing liquor without a license, but escaped while the Sheriff was en joying a sardine lunch.

Two of the party, however, were rearrested for stealing blan kets and lined twenty dollars, in default of which they were sent to jail. It Keems that the fellows ar rested were traveling with a kind of a minstrel show, and hired a team in California to take them through, the owner sending a driver along to take care of, and return with the team. When they had proceeded some distance on the road, the driver proposed to sell the wagon and harness, and take the horses and leave. This the showmen refused to do at the time, but when they arrived at Oak Grove Station they qietly got up in the night, and not only left the wagon, but the roguish uriver also.

The Lewiston Journal gives the folloAving particulars of the hanging of a man named Moran, at Clear-; water bridge, recently : We are informed that J. J. Mo ran was hung by the neck until dead, near Jaekson's bridge on the i South Fork of Clearwater river, on Friday morning, the 29th ult. It seems that Mr. G. W. Bowker, who had been running the express from this place to Elk City, had purchas ed i'l worth of rope for Moran sometime lofore, and for which Moran oAved him. Bowker had quit the express, but Avas on his way from LeAviston to Elk" Citv, ai d stopped at Jackson's bridge. Bowker asked Moran for the two dollars, which Moran paid, and then, -without provocation of any kind, remarked, "Now, I'll mark you," or of like purport, and . im mediately drew a revolver and knocked Bowker to the ground; then, taking his pocket knife, slit both of Bowker's ears, gashed his forehead and gouged and cut the divisions lietweeti the nostrils of his nose, and while doing so he uttered Avords showing his brutal intent. This was done on Thursday even ing, the -lOth, and Moran Avas found hung on the following morning. Ciiixksk Tki.i:;raphv. The difficult problem of how to transmit telegraphic messages in Chinese, has at length been Kitisfactorly solved. And here's how it's done : At first sight the difficulty ot telegraphing in a language which is destitute' of an alphaljet, and is made up of about 50,000 distinct characters, apj tears almost insur mountable, but the obstacle has Itcen overcome, and A-fitt at Hong Kong encounters no more difficulty in communicating by telegraph with A-chum at Shanghai than does Brown with J ones under similar circumstances. The plan adopted is this: Some few thousand of the more common Chinese characters are cut on wooden blocks after the manner of type, and on the reverse end of each is a numlter cut in the same Avay. Now A -fat having l anded in his message written in Chinese, the native clerk selects in order the corresponding blocks from the case and prints off the numbers on their reverse. 'J his he hands to his English colleague, Avho telegraphs the numbers to the des tination desired. Here the reverse process is gone through, and the numlers having been taken from, the cases, the characters are stamped on paper,, aud thus A-chum is put in possession of the cherished wishes of A-fat through the medium of his native language.

The new Presi dent declared that the policy Avhich compelled the retirement of Han AA'orth Avill be vigorously pursued. Some of its friends were., deceived by stories of compromise. Some of t he officers of the aban doned whaling lleet, at San Fran cisco, state that the disaster was predicted by the Esquimaux along the shores of the Artie, long before it occurred, and had they listened to the warnings, the Avhole loss might haATe been avoided. A Mr, Hawkins has discovered new placer diggings on Kogue riAer, beloAV the mouth of Apple gate, where he made from $20 to $10 per day Avith a rocker. He sold his claim for $2,000.
