NEWITSKY FATAL AFFRAY - A fatal affray occurred at Grizzly Bend, nine miles below Chico, lately, between two men named respectively Daniel CASEY and Frank BIRDSALL, in the course of which the former was stabbed several times by the latter, and so severely that he died the next morning. The difficulty was about some land on which CASEY was located. BIRDSALL gave himself up at Chico, and was held to bail in $1,000 to answer the charge of manslaughter. He says he was unconscious of having inflicted the fatal blow. SENT UP - William FITZPATRICK, lately arrested in Sacramento for cutting night watchman BROWN of the Tehama House, San Francisco, has been identified there, and sent up to the Court of Sessions for trial, bail having been demanded in the sum of $1,000. MATTERS AT AURORA - A correspondent of the Union, writing from this place, March 30th, says: Last night again, two stages came in, with twenty-six passengers, and it is a marvel to the citizens where they all find lodgings and accommodation. The Wide West Company have been digging a well for water for their mill, for the past two weeks. They now have it about completed, with twelve to fifteen feet of water, which is supposed to be ample for their purposes. The mill commenced crushing their rock this morning, and works admirably. It is far the best mill in the district, and has twenty stamps (straight battery), and forty Walekce paws, with the most approved machinery. They are running a tunnel to their ledge, so as to bring the rock direct to the batteries. The Antelope mill is running constantly, crushing rock from their ledge, of which they are taking out an abundance. The Bodie mill has a contract to crush 1,000 tons of rock from the Bodie Consolidation No. 1. The Union mill is crushing rock from the Pond ledge, which yields from forty to seventy dollars to the ton, and they have hardly got their ledge opened. Gregroyís mill is crushing from the Sunbeam ledge, which is also scarcely opened. Wintersí mill has been sold to the Del Norte Consolidation Company. Last night, when the stage arrived from Carson, news was brought in that the previous evening as two horses were standing in front of Jack WRIGHTís, the stage station on the east branch of Walker river, a man mounted one of them and started at full speed for this place. Two men from the station mounted horses and rode in pursuit, overtaking him near Sweetwater, about thirty miles distant. They called to him to stop, and which he paid no attention, when one of them drew a pistol and shot him. The person who fired the pistol took off the manís coat and put it under his head, and left him. As the stage passed, twenty-four hours after, the corpse was lying by the roadside. The dead man is a stranger. The Coroner of Mono county was notified of the fact, but he decided it was out of his jurisdiction and declined attending to the case. [ The individual referred to above as having been shot is supposed to be James SEARS, whose case was lately mentioned in the Union. - Eds. Union.] The Virginia Union has the following version of this affair: A communication to the Virginia Daily Union, and dated at Wrightís Bridge, March 30th, tells us that while a traveler was at dinner in Mayburyís Station, a man boldly stole his horse and rode off. The traveler went to Wrightís Bridge, on the road between Genoa and Aurora, and having told his story, young RODGERS mounted a horse and started in pursuit of the thief. He came up with him at Sweetwater Ranch, and commanded him to stop; but he rode the faster, and RODGERS gave chase, calling upon him to stop; but failing in her persuasion, he drew his pistol and shot the thief, killing him almost instantly. The name of the man killed is not known. RODGERS is justified by all the people living in the section of country where he belongs. The Departure of the Orizaba - The following named passengers sailed for Panama in this steamer April 3d: Mrs. John BARTON, child and servant; Mrs. John FOWLER, two children and servant; John W. HENDRIE, Silas W. JOHNSON, James G. STEELE, John HOOPER, E.B. WILLIAMS, Mrs. M. DU PRATT, G.C. BAILEY, J.N. BAILEY, David PORTER, Joseph W. GLOVER, Joshua BLENN, George KINGSBURY, Mr. CARVER, Mrs. LIMBACKER and two children; Geo. W. PENNY, Mrs. Rufina FOSTER, Arthur S. BARTHOLEMEW, A.M. MITCHELL, Mrs. Ellen CASSIDY, J.J. MORNER, R.R. PROVINES, L.L. LAURENS. Arrested on suspicion - A suspicious character named Jack HAMILTON was arrested a day or two ago by officer BURKE. He had sold to Dr. SHAUG, for $3, a case of surgical instruments, which are of much greater value. The case is made of black morocco, lined with dark velvet. The instruments, although considerable used, are of excellent quality. HAMILTON also had in his possession when arrested four door keys, a knife, a bottle of morphine and a copy in a well written hand of the song ìDublin Bay.î HAMILTON was arrested several years ago by officer BURKE on a charge of robbing a man named SHELL, on Ninth street, between G and H. He was also suspected of stealing the sum of $300 from John HOUSMAN some time ago. He claims to have become possessed of the surgical instruments honestly at Alcatraz Island, where he says he was employed as a hospital steward. ACCIDENT - On Saturday forenoon, D. Virgil GATES was singularly and severely injured on K street, between Second and Third streets. He was riding along the street on horseback, and encountered a team stretched across the street in front of HARRISí liquor store. GATES being determined to exercise his right to the right of way through the street, jumped his horse across the chains in front of the wheel horses. The animal made a bold leap, but was so caught by one of the chains as to be thrown heavily, with his rider, to the ground. Both man and horse appeared at first to be killed, but both subsequently revived. GATESí nose was crushed, and his face was otherwise injured. He was removed to the store of his brother, in the next block, and cared for. He was represented last evening to be doing well. THROWN OFF - A boy named William HAYES, about nine years old, whose avocation is that of driving a span of goats around town, was yesterday thrown from a horse on Seventh street, between J and K streets. The horse became frightened and ran some distance down Seventh street before the boy fell off. In falling he was kicked or struck in the right leg, but was not seriously injured. The horse was soon caught, and the boy, with the promise to ìjerk the bloody mouth off of himî if he didnít behave better, remounted and rode off, taking a companion on board as a passenger. FIRE - At about half-past five oíclock last evening, the residence of S. VAN PRAAG, on H street, between Sixth and Seventh, caught fire from the stove pipe. The ceiling of one of the rooms in the house was considerably burnt, but the flames were extinguished by means of a garden hose and water conveyed in buckets, before any serious damage was done or a general alarm given. CANDIDATES - As the probabilities of the anticipated municipal election increase the names of the various candidates for office are talked of. For the position of President of the Board of Board of Trustees we hear suggested the names of William SHATTUCK, C.H. SWIFT, Robert BECK, H.O. BEATTY, J.F. MORSE and B.B. REDDING; for Police Judge, S.S. HOLL, T.W. GILMER, I.S. BROWN and L.S. TAYLOR. DUSTY - Yesterday afternoon was one of the most disagreeable on account of dust, which has been experienced in Sacramento for a long time. For several hours whirlpools of dust rendered it difficult for pedestrians to walk the streets. Many of our citizens were caught out of town in buggies and carriages, but they did not as a general thing enjoy their rides, for the cause above referred to. CHANGE OF VENUE - In the divorce suit of Mary M. HOLLAND vs. Patrick HOLLAND, commenced in San Francisco, a motion for a change of venue to Sacramento county, made by defendant, was granted a few days ago in San Francisco. DEATHS - There were eight deaths in the city during last week. Five of the deceased were adults and three minors. Three were natives of California, and one each of Ohio, Germany, Wales, Ireland and China. ARRESTS - John DOE No. 1 was arrested on Saturday by officer BROWN for assault and battery on Jane HANLEY, and John DOE No. 2 by officer CODY on a charge of drawing a deadly weapon. MURDER TRIAL - The second trial of Samuel CARKHUFF, for the murder of his uncle, S.D. CARKHUFF, is set for to-day in the District Court. TAKEN TO STOCKTON - Julius FARMER and Manuel BERGAN, two insane men, were taken to Stockton, on Saturday, by Deputy Sheriff GRIFFITH.
