The report of viewers on San Mateo and Crystal Spring road not having been made in accordance with law, it was ordered that they review the road, and have the County Surveyor survey and mark it out as it may be located, and that the District Attorney shall advise with said viewers in making their report. The First and Third School Districts were divided to form District No. 5, with the following boundaries: commencing at the house of J.P.

Notice from State Treasurer to County Treasurer was presented, showing $33.95 to be in the State Treasury subject to the order of the Board, and the County Treasurer was accordingly ordered to draw said sum and place it to the creid of the Indigent Sick fund of the county.

Also, that the places for holding this election and the Judges be the same as at the last general election, except that Burns John precinct, which is hereby abolished, and in the First precinct, the place for holding the said election shall be changed to the schoolhouse recently erected therein. The Board then adjourned, to meet the first Monday in July next. IMPORTANT DECISION. _ The U.S. Supreme Court has decided adversely to the claimants of the Gonzales Rancho tract, on the Pescadero, in this county. Three leagues of this tract is declared to be public land, and the squatters upon it feeling secure in their occupancy will now commence the work of improvement. This is a valuable scope of country, and will add much to the wealth of this county. - Santa Cruz Sentinel. ERRATUM. - We were in error last week, in stating that the new grist-mill of Mr. Morrison was to be completed in July. It will not be in operation until about the end of August. LUMBER BUSINESS RECOMMENCED. - Last week the lumber teams began making their appearance in town from the mountains. The roads are now in good condition, and we expect soon to see the wharves of Redwood City again replenished with the immense piles of lumber which we are wont to see during the summer season. The arrival of ox-teams in Redwood City may be aptly compared, in point of general interest and importance to our locality, with the steamer arrivals in San Francisco. DEATH OF EX-SENATOR HAUN. - Judge H.P. Haun, late United States Senator, died at his brother's residence, in Marysville, about 10 o'clock, June 6. On Sunday last, Judge Haun was in good health.

THE PERJURY CASE. - The case of Joseph Brothers, San Francisco, accused of perjury, has been concluded in the Police Court, in so far as the tribunal is concerned. After hearing a mass of testimony as to the estimated value of the stock of goods in the store, the Police Judge ordered the case to be transferred to the Court of Sessions, and fixed the bail of respondents at $1500.
