SERIOUS AFFRAY – On Tuesday evening last, a dispute arose between S.D. GATEWOOD and James SMITH, both teamsters well known to most of the residents in this part of the county, which resulted in their coming to blows, when GATEWOOD drew a pocket knife and inflicted two or three severe and dangerous wounds upon SMITH. GATEWOOD was immediately lodged in jail and has since been fully committed to await the action of Grand Jury. SMITH is lying very low from the effect of his wounds, with very little ground to hope for his recovery. This sad affair has created much feeling and anxiety in the community – but as it has yet to go through a thorough legal investigation, we purposely refrain from stating any details of the affray. ASSOCIATES – On Monday last a Convention of the Justices was held at the Court-room, when John GREER and L. WHITTINGHAM Esqrs were elected Associate Justices of the Court of Sessions for the ensuing year. TOOK THEIR SEATS. – On Monday last the several new officers took their positions and commenced the duties of their respective offices. And in every instance the incumbent is here in person to attend to those duties. The retiring Treasurer squared up his books to the very hour of transfer, presented vouchers for everything, and counted over the money to balance. The same system and exactness was observed in every other department. The business of the county has so far increased that the Clerk and Recorder, though an untiring worker himself, has found it necessary to have a regular deputy and has appointed .T.W. LATHROP, Esq. to that position. No better selection could have been made. Upon entering upon the discharge of his duties Mr. BOWMAN appointed George W. FOX his Under Sheriff. No other officer has yet found it necessary to appoint a Deputy. Wm. GODFREY, former proprietor of this paper, has made arrangements to start a daily paper at San Jose, on the eighteenth of next month. We predict for this new enterprise a perfect success. No better field could be found than San Jose presents, and Mr. GODREY is just the man to manage such a concern and make it pay. His success in a business point of view will only be eclipsed by the “personal appearance” of his paper, for with him to superintend the mechanical department, our San Jose neighbors will soon boast the best looking daily in the State.
