TO JOSEPH HORSELY -- In the ‘Independent’ of Monday you ask the question, “How is that?” that you posted the bills of the Glass Blowers and presented your bill and was refused payment. Seeing that you need a little *posting* I’ll *post* you up a little. “How is that?” I made an agreement with you, sir, to do my bill posting -- somewhere in the vicinity of 200 sheets. You put up 26 sheets, and Sunday morning came to me for $2. I let you have it. Sunday evening you came to me for $2.50 more, but I “couldn’t see it.” You threatened to make me sorry for it, and shortly after presented you bill for the sum of $3.50. I refused to pay it for the reason that you had not fulfilled your agreement. Can you “see it?” Secondly, you had no right to send me the bill till the [rest cut off] PROBATE COURT -- -Estate of T.

CARDER, late of the Sonora ‘Age,’ had a shooting affray at Sonora on Wednesday last, in which both were slightly wounded. The ‘Flag’ says CARDER came to that office, where BENNETT was at work, and after abusing and threatening BENNETT, went away. In the evening, after BENNETT had quit work and was returning home, CARDER stopped him in the street, and threateningly approached, after BENNETT had repeatedly warned him to stand back. BENNETT finally drew a pistol and fired, the shot striking CARDER in the shoulder. CARDER then drew and fired at BENNETT, who was also hit in the shoulder. The parties then separated. Neither was seriously hurt. CARDER had an examination before Judge Wheaton, who discharged him after hearing the testimony. The ‘Flag’ denounces CARDER’s part of the affair as wanton and unprovoked; and CARDER vindicates himself in a card printed in the ‘Union Democrat.’ >>WEDNESDAY, 27 AUG 1862>THURSDAY, 28 AUG 1862>FRIDAY, 29 AUG 1862>SATURDAY, 30 AUG 1862
