Notice OF Agency.

Mr. Joseph Buckman will hereafter travel
as Agent for the Butte Record We commend
him to the kind consideration of our friends
and all who are disposed to favor us in our
undertaking-being that of permanently es-
tablishing press in Butte County. We have
labored under many disadvantages since We
established ourselves here, but while we can
keep our heads above water, we shall still
have hope; and if there is such thing as
succeeding in this enterprise, by diligence
industry, and faithful observance of that
which will promote the general good Of this
section of country, and particularly this
county, then we are determined TO ascend the
topmost round of the ladder Circumstances,
known to some of our patronS, and over which
we could not have the slightest control, have
denied US from bringing to cur columns that
degree of editorial talent which we anticipated
in the outset
But such as we have we give unto you,
trusting that the Record, even in its imper-
perfect and homely garb, has not been an un-
welcome guest; and with this do we promise
to do better As the Old ear goes out, and
the New Year comes in, it seems a favorable
opportunity to scour up our small stock of in
tellect and with renewed vigor exclaim,
When g '54 40" comes in, it has got to bring
with it better times, and more interesting
Butte Record, or a fight With our right
hand upon our heart, and in our left our new

happy .Ne,o Year.

Is- The Masonic Fraternity in this place
assembled on the evening Of the 9th inst, to
do honor to their patron, st. John the Evan
gelist. They sat down to a sumptuous supper,
prepared by Wirstrom, of the Shade Hotel =
After the more substantial portions were
feasted upon, that soul-stirring and wit-pro-
voking Ingredient was brought forth, and ap
propriate toasts, sentiment, and song, had
full sway, All seemed perfectly happy, and
to enjoy themselves to their hearts content.
A continual flow of soul, anecdote, and story,
passed the circle round As VIC gazed upon
that intellectual and social company, we could
not refrain from thinking that such convivial
scenes had a tendency to cement more strongly
the bonds of brotherly love and friendship.
Among the invited guests, was Hon. J. W.
McCorkle, ex member of Congress, and Judge
of the Ninth Judicial Ddistrict, who enter
tanned the company with some sound and
seasonable speeches, and occasionally sprin-
kled in the wit and humor, an inexhaustible
fundof which he always has at hand. The
whole affair wound up about the time they
generally wind their clocks All were well
satisfied, and ce were particularly well salts
fed with ourselves and every body else. Nav
they all live to celebrate many such ami
versaries

The Spices of Married Life.

The Spices Of Married Life.
Who says the course of true love in married
. never did run smooth - This adage proved
literally true, in the case Of Mrs Sarah Rucker,
who had her Iiege lord hauled up before the Po-
lice Court on Monday last, on charge of as
sault and battery on her person, which, ac-
cording to her statement, had suffered mate
rally on sundry and divers occasions, by
reason of various vile epithets and nasty words
in reference to her moral character. And the
said Mrs. Sarah Rucker further AYERS that
her better half has more than once abused
and damaged her by '' betting" her alongside
her head, and in fact had been a disagreeab'
companion ever since she had been his wife
and on the night in question. that he, after
being told to leave the premises. and quit her
company thenceforth and forever. as he had
totally failed to provide for his family, did
sneak back to her apartment to see what he
should see, and proceeded to tickle her feet
and annoy her in many other ways She got
up, and he closed with her and cat hauled her
about, blacked one of her eyes, bruised her
head, &c and in fact showed himself n huge
little monster, and wholly unworthy to be at
the head of respectable family circle
To all these complaints that little man
Rucker set up general denial, and stated to
the court that he was, and had been, the very
best sort of husband and further allowed
that his dear wife, the said Mrs Sarah Rucl-
er. had driven him to drink by conduct on her
part description of which would be exceed
ingly disagreeable to ears polite and that
when she told him to quit her, he thought she
was joking and that when he went to her
house, he expected to be received like the
prodigal son-that his spouse would make
much Of him, instead Of kicking at him, at
the least little advances that he might make
towards reconciliation of old grudges He
thought it extremely hard that he should be
so persecdted by her, when she had invari-
ably worsted him in every fair fight, which
had been frequent; that she had chucked su-
arbowls at his devoted head, as we'll as other
sweet articles which might be lying around
loose during an engagement; that she had
woloped him in nineteen successive battles,
and that in the twentieth one he had proved
the best man of the two He demurred to
farther punishment. No SO with the sedate
Judge Wells, who would be perfect model
husband, and he proceeded to tender a little
advice to both Of them-that they should re-

ceremony, to love, cherish, &c and that
their little hands were not made to tear out
each others eyes out. He very coolly re-
quested Mr. Rucker to pay into Butte County
treasury the sum of fifty dollars, or accom-
pany the Sheriff down stairs and stand inside
of an upright checker board provided by the
county for the amusement of evil doers He
chose the latter, as he was just then out of
kGle- seed

ROAD THROUGH THE CANoN.-The difficult
ties of getting through the canon leading
from this place to the Miners Rancho, Wyan-
dotte, &C., and in fact the principal thorough
fare to the town of Bidwell, must be obvious
to all who have passed on this route 1t is
almost impossible for teams TO pass each other
for distance of two miles--the road being
cut into the solid bank We would sugges.
to our citizens to turn out and each give one
days work, under the direction OF some ex-
perienced road master, to make this part of
the public highway passable, at least Two
or three side-cuts into the bank, at intervals,
would obviate this long neglected spot The
stage companies will do their share and when

A WHITE MAN HUNG FOR KILLING AN
INDIAN.-We learn by gentleman just down
from that place, that about two weeks ago a
party started from Indian Valley, on a pros
pecting tour, and were accompanied by an
Indian as guide; that during the time, they
were left by the Indian in the mountains, to
find their way out as best they could They
paid him in good faith, and provided him with
provisions, &c. On the return of the party to
Indian Valley, the Indian was there, and was
taken to do about the matter of leaving them
before the journey had been performed Mr.
George Rose, being one of the head of the
party, sought redress, and was about to chas-
tise the Indian, who was very insulting in his
conduct, when Rose drew his pistol and shot
him dead. The Miners became enraged at
this, and forthwith proceeded to try and con
denim him, and hanged him to the nearest tree.
Rose was an American, and had heretofore
borne good character.
These are the facts, as stated to u.s. in this
unfortunate and bloody transaction We for
bear further comment until fully advised.

Nor VERY FAIR.-The Marysville Express
has for some time kept it before the people
that the election of Mr.. Malone at San Fran
cisco was an undoubted expression of public
opinion in regard to and in favor of the cleo
tion af a o. S. Senator this winter. Mr.. Nc
Duffy resigns his position as Representative
from Yuba, and the democracy of that county
being unanimously opposed to an election OF
Senator this winter for the purpose of having
an opinion of the people of the interior, pro-
posed to nominate a candidate to fill his place,
opposed also to this unprecedented maneuver
Whereupon tie Express comes out with most
holy Indignation, and insists, that the people
of Yuba have no interest in electing any par
ticular individual to the U S. Senate, and
should not therefore make it a question in the
canvass. Not very ingenious Mr.. Express, es-
pecally as you have by your evident gratifi-
cation, on Mr.. McDufy's recall of his resigna-
tiop, plainly exhibited your relief, at the re-
moval of an event, which would have, demon
strated, that you are in opposition to the will
of the people of your own city and county, on
the question of an election of U s. Senator
this winter
1t is passing strange if true as the Express
asserts, that the people of Yuba county have
no particular interest in the election of U
s. Senator, being in population and wealth the
third county in the state Butte county has a
great interest in it and expects her Represen-
tatives to attend to it,

Senatorial-Mistake.

We stated in our last number, that the
Mountain Herald was in favor Of the election
of an U. S Senator this winter. We We're
mistaken. The Herald like every other paper
of the mountains that truly reflects the wishes
of its readers, is opposed to an election this
winter The Herald says, if the present Legis-
lature is determined to elect Senator this
winter, that they might as we'll go on, and
elect for the next thirty sir gears to come, and
finish the job. So say we. If the present
Legislature can tie up the hands of the next,
why cannot they the same principle, usurp
what belongs and pertains to the succeeding
hirty-Sir Legislatures. The democratic doc
trine is, that the power of repeal shall not be
limited and if the present Legislature shall
commit the consummate folly of electing man
to fill a vacancy in an office that does not ex-
ist, we hope the next Will wipe out the act, and
exercise the power which might belong to it.
From the tone of public opinion, we think this
moee has fallen.still born, and we hope to hear
no more about it.
