The examination of witnesses was still progressing when we went to press yesterday evening. It is expected to get through with the case ami submit it to the jury to-day or to-morrow. O ne M ore U nfortunate .—Dud­ ley Hillery, of Applegate, was exam­ ined l>efore Judge Watson by Dr. Callender on Tuesday last, and pro­ nounced insane. He was so violent that it was deemed necessary to put a straight-jacket on him. Dr. Jackson and Alvin Cardwell took him to the Asylum on Wednesday. — ■» >i. .................. — S urveying .—James S. Howard has received the appointment of U. S. D* puty Mineral Surveyor for Jackson, Josephine and Curry counties, and is prepared to do everything in his line in the best manner and at reasonable rates. Official surveys made and pat­ ents secured. Mr. Howard is an adept in his profession, and those desiring anything done in surveying will do well to give him a trial. See his card. ------ —♦-------- D istrict S chool .—The attendance at the Jacksonville District School now numbers al>out 120, and the increase is so great that several children have been unable to receive admittance, ow­ ing to the already crowded condition of both departments of tho school. A new building is now living built in the lot owned by Geo. Brown and sit­ uated near the school house, which will, when finished, be used for the accommodation of another department of the school. We learn that Mrs. Shipley has been engaged to teach it. ———-•------- P ersonal .—Hon. L. F. Lane, our Congressman-elect, is expected to pass through here ere long, on his way to take his seat in Congress, w hich meets early next month. Sheriff Green, of Josephine, who has been in attendance on the Circuit Court as a witness in the Briggs case, 1 returned home jesterclay. George Nourse and lady, of Link- ville, have been in town during the ' past week. Messrs. Chas. Hughes and J. B. Si­ lers, of Kerbyville, are in town. T he L ewis B rothers .—This ex­ cellent troupe performed at Veit’s JIall on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, a large attendance being present on eaeh occasion. The entertainments comprised mesmerism, jugglery, etc., which were as wonder­ ful as they were interesting. The feats of mesmerism and jugglery are es­ pecially worthy of mention, the equal of which has never been witnessed in this section, and we may say the Coast. Several different persons were mesmerized in turn, and at the will of the mesmerist went through various maneuvers while in this state, illustrat­ ing a person having the delirium tremens, being in a tranfce, etc., to the merriment and edification of the audi­ ence. Almost everything the troupe introduced was new here, and general satisfaction was given. They leave for the North to-day. CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS.

L ouise S avage , ...... ------------- «------------- P lacer M ining .—The rains have furnished a large surplus of water for mining purposes. Water is abundant everywhere now, and the prospect-, are favorable that it will continue so for the Winter at least. The miners are busy for preparing work, while some are already taking out the precious metal. It seems highly probable that the present season will be a golden one compared to many previous ones, i There are still plenty of good place r ; diggings; but for some seasons past there has been such a dearth of water ’ that they have not been worked to much profit, w’hile some have been neglected altogether. Chinese have. also come in possession of many, ^et thero is a large number still owned by white persons, who expect to do good work this season. With plenty of wa­ ter, the tightness of the money market will be greatly alleviated and coin more plentiful. --------- —>---------- — G rand J ury R eport .—The follow­ ing is a synopsis of the business transacted by the Grand Jury empan­ eled for the November term of the 1 Circuit Court: State of Oregon vs. Andrew Casey ; larceny in a dwelling house.

Flitner’s mare Queen of Hearts and Wm. Ish’s mare Snip. They ran a race at the Jacksonville Fair, when Queen of Hearts won. The race, we understand, is to be $200 a side, and will be run over the Jacksonville course. In the first place, Snip is not a mare and not owned by Wm. Ish. Some talk may have been indulged in con­ cerning a match race between Snip, Queen of Hearts and Elizabeth Tilton, but nothing definite has been done towards bringing any of these horses together. H eber G rove D istrict S chool . —This school, under the efficient man­ agement of F. W. Ewing, assisted by Miss Lizzie Bridgman, recently from the States, is in a flourishing condition, and now has an attendance of about seventy-five pupils. The patrons of this school deserve credit for the in­ terest they take in it. Some time since they erected a neat and com. modious school house, costing $1,500, and have recently levied a tax of $300 to furnished it with improved furni­ ture and fixtures. It is one of the best schools in the county. E xportation of P roduce .—Jack- son county exports a large amount of flour, grain and produce to theadjoining counties of Oregon and California, and thus the greater portion of our surplus is at present consumed and the money brought into the county. By the fol­ lowing, taken from a correspondence of the Yreka Union, dated Lake City, Modoc county, Cal., November 1st, it w’ill be seen that another section is taking advantage of the cheapness and excellence of our products, and importing a considerable quantity of them: “The grain crops this fall in Mo­ doc county were a partial failure, and did not turn out as well as many an­ ticipated. I do not believe that a sufficient amount of the cereals — wheat, oats and barley, w’ere growm to furnish the desired amount of seed that will be used for next spring’s sow­ ing. Wheat, barley and oats are now selling readily at two cents per pound. Corn meal is worth six dollars per hundred. Flour five dollars per hun­ dred. Owing to the scarcity of pro­ visions, some tw’enty-flve wagons went to Jacksonville, Oregon, this fall for flour and apples, and I presume about one hundred wagons in all from vari­ ous parts of Modoc county imported | bread stuff and produce for home con­ sumption.” F or S ale .—Those desiring a first- class sewing-machine, bran new’, at less than first cost, can be accommodated by calling on E.

H igh W aters .—The rains prevail­ ing have raised tho streams higher than they have been for several years. The bridge crossing Jackson creek, near the residence of ’Squire Hoffman, was in danger of being floated away Sunday morning last, but considerable labor expended on it since has made it comparatively secure. Damage hasalso been threatened to several residences lying near this creek and Rich Gulch, although little has been done as yet. Precautions are being taken against further danger, and, in the event of a raise in the water hereafter, less injury w’ill probably result therefrom. The streams in different portions of this and Josephine counties are also rather high, delaying travel considerably. In Douglas county, the bridge across the South Umpqua was almost destroyed, but is secure again. The water has receded, however, although, from pres­ ent appearances, the prospects are fa­ vorable for their becoming higher than ever. —------------- ♦-------------------- N One bit a drink is all In* takes For whisky and good brandy ; He says it cures the rheumatis’— Oh ! aiu’t it very handy.
