MURDEROUS AFFRAY AT LOS ANGELES. —A dis- patch dated at Los Angeles, July 7th, says: On the occasion of the festivities held at the Bella Union Hotel on the evening of the 5th, in honor of the marriage of one of our principal merchants, a difficulty occurred from business differences, between Robert S. Carlisle and A. J. King, in which King was slightly cut and Carlisle fired at. Carlisle was unhurt, but a stranger was stabbed in the thigh. Friends of the parties interfered and prevented anything further happening at that time. Next morning, however, and while Carlisle was sitting in the bar-room of the Bella Union, two brothers of A. J. King came in to obtain "satisfaction" for the alleged insult. One of them made an attack on Carlisle, and in the squabble which followed the parties passed out of the bar-room to the sidewalk in front, when shots were fired by the three engaged. One of the brothers was shot through the breast; Carlisle also received four shots in the breast, and while falling raised his pistol, took deliberate aim, and fired at the other brother, Franklin King, killing him instantly. James H. Lander, while trying to prevent the difficulty, was shot through the side. A stranger was slightly wounded in the thigh by a stray shot. A gash over the heart and a wound in the right hand have confined A. J. King to his bed since the first fight. Carlisle died at twenty minutes past three o'clock yesterday afternoon. Lander, it is thought, will recover. S. J. King is not expected to live. Carlisle's body will be removed from the Bella Union Hotel and buried by the Masonic fraternity this afternoon. F. King's body will be buried this evening. Carlisle leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss. This sad affair has cast a gloom over our community. BUTTE COUNTY.— We find the following local intelligence in the Oroville Record of July 8th : For several weeks past the army worms have made the most destructive raids upon the Oroville gardens. Everything has been done to prevent their destructive work, but as yet unsuccessful. The cabbages, corn and potatoes are already eaten up, and should they continue ten days longer there will not be vegetables of any kind left in those gardens. Louis Smidt informs us that he has struck good diggings in Concow township, in what is called Gravel Range. William Ramsey and George were badly injured at their claim, at Little Kimshew, by a premature blast.. Ramsey, it is thought, will lose both eyes; the principal injury received by the other was on the arm. Sherman quartz ledge is situated about three miles from Oroville, near John Campton's. Bowman sent to this office a ten pound "chunk" of quartz from the ledge, which is literally covered with glittering gold. We understand that Childers, of Sacramento, is prospecting a claim below the Sherman ledge —and is considered of the same—and is obtaining the most flattering prospects. A NEW SAFETY CAGE.—The Virginia Enterprise, of July 8th says : By invitation we yesterday evening visited the Savage mine to witness a rather daring feat—the cutting of the cable of one of the new safety cages with two men upon it. The performance was to have taken place on the evening of the Fourth, on a bet of $250, but one of the parties who was to stand upon the cage failed to come to time and the money was forfeited. Last even ing the cage was lowered just below the level of the surface with Captain Curtis, Superintendent of the mine, and Major Gillis upon it, when by a couple of blows with an ax the cable, by which it was suspended, was cut. The cage fell but about two inches, when the safety apparatus caught in the slides on either side of the shaft and its further downward progress was stopped. But for the safety arrangement, the cage would have dropped straight to the bottom of the shaft, a distance of 445 feet. HEAVY VERDICT.—The jury in the suit of F. E. Corcoran and wife vs. J. G. Doll and John L. Simpson, rendered a verdict of $25,290, principal and interest on a promissory note for $20,000. This is connected with the Tehama Stockbreeders' Association affairs. AGRICULTURAL ADDRESS.— General John Bidwell will deliver the address before the Northern District Agricultural Society, in Marysville, on the 30th of August. FORGED CERTIFICATES—lt is said that forged certificates, purporting to entitle California Volunteers to extra pay from the State, have been offered for sale within the last week. The sig- natures of certain officers of the regiment in which the volunteer served are necessary to these certificates, and these signatures, in the instances referred to, have been found to be forged. PAID IN. —The following sums were paid into the city treasury on Saturday : By M. M. Estee, District Attorney, on taxes, etc., $284 17 ; S. C. Hall, harbor dues, $41 75; S. S. Holl, police dues, $108 50; D. A. DeMerritt, licenses, $1,997 28 ; John Talbot, water rents, $1,348 30 ; Jesse Morrill, cemetery dues, $30 ; C. C. Jenks, county school apportionment, $494 80. ARRESTS.— The following arrests were made yesterday: P. Casey, by officer Rice, for petit larceny; P. Hanley, by officers Martz and Chamberlin, for discharging firearms in the city.
