BLACK’S.
(from a correspondent.) There is little? to chronicle this week. Our farmers are all getting well on with their harvesting, some have commenced stacking. The miners still complain of Want of water. A company of miners have again started working on the township, and this time with better success, we hear they are getting 2dwts to the dish. The meeting of shareholders of the Try Again Company, held on Monday, was anything hut satisfactory, after some two hour* hard debating there was no conclusion arrived at, whether the Company thould bo wound up or continued, there being eleven voters on both sides, they decided to have another meeting next Tuesday, when it is hoped there will be more voters present. At Tinker’s we hear there has been a rnmpus between some Chinamen and the Europeans, which ended by the police being called in and medical advice ; one of the whites getting his arm brok.n, and several of the Chinamens faces and heads s-e> er-iy smashed and bruised. Long handle shovels and pick handles being the favorite \va ! instruments on both sides.
