chimes which are even better than any that have
ever been made there before. 1 believe that the
superiority of my wooden armed driving wheel is
now admitted on all hands, even by manufactu-

broken. l warrant them not to break, not to
clean, do as much work as any mashine made
and will sell on US fair terms US any manufacture

From the sandwich Islands.

The latest dates from these islands are up to
the 22d ult.
During the year 1883, the births numbered,
I543 deaths for the time, S.026 show
ing decrease of population in that period of
6,513. From this startling fact it would appear
that the native population of these islands, like
the Indians of this continent, are destined in a
few more years, to exist only i'll history. The
hand of the destroyer is upon them, and then
swift extinction seems inevitable.
During the same year, one out of every twenty.

II The N. Y Herald recently published Il
statement Of lis circulation from March 18Th to
March 18Th, inclusive, showing an average daily
circulation of 5 $50. On this siatment the Her
aid claimed larger circulation than any daily
newspaper in the world The Philadelphia
Ledger tlerenpon stepped forward, and by a
simple statement from their books, caused the
Herald man to droop like the tail feathers of a
defeated turkey cock. The statement proves
that the daily edition Of the Ledger from lhe lst
to the 18Th of March, inclusive, amounted to
$3.50 copies, or 5000 copies per day more than
the Herald. The London Times has crcula-
tion Of about 10 900 daily, and the Paris Consti-
tutionel of 5000 on 10000. This fact certainly
speaks very well for Philadelphia

REPORTED DEATH OF WALKER.-The Los An

REPORTED DEATH OF w ALKER-l lie Los An
geles Star of April 29lh has the following repor;
from the fiilbuSters:-
A gentleman arrived III town on Thursday.
having left San Diego on Monday. He states.
hat Just previous 10 his leaving, brother Of
Melendez arrived, and stated that Walker had
retraced his steps to Ensenada, and that Melen-
dez, with force of fifty men, had attacked
him outside his camp, killing Walker and thir-
teen o his men. 1t is reported that the fillibns-
ter band is entirely broken up and scattered in
every direction. Many of them have arrived i'll
this city. 1t is also reported That Smith. who
was captured by Meendez, and sent 10 La Paz,
was killed on the road.
News has been received in San Francisco
since the publication of the Stars report which
puts the whole matter i'll a state of uncertainty.
The more recent information is to the effect that
Walker and his men had fight with Melcndez
near their old camping grounds, but defeated
the Mexicans, severely wounding Mslendez in
the bowels and foot.

AEREsTED.-A young man by the name of W.

Mr.. Walsh of this place for little over 5000.
They were worth upwards Of Slo0 On Thurs.
day Sheriff Nunnally received an advertisement
describing three horse mules, bearing similar
marks to those sold here, that were stole on the
5th from ranch in Sonoma and offering re-
arrest of the thief That officer al once arrested
Ritchie, who is now lying in the Shasta Jail.
Richie lost all the money received for his mules,
the same night. AT the gambling table.

GsING HoMn.-An unusual lumber of persons
now leaving this part of the State for The
Atlantic States. SO far as we have been enabled
to learn, the larger portion will return after a
few months absence, many Of them with their
families. While, however, this great exodus of
our people is thus taking place. it is gratifying
TO know that the new arrivals are by no means
inconsiderable-and it is still more gratifying to
know that good portion of them are wives and

FouR INDIANS kILLED.-We have received a
long communication from Mr. j. Chadbourne, oi
Trinity river, III regard to "A recent Indian diff
Guilty in that quarter. AS we have already allu-
ded to HE occurrence, it is unnecessary to give
but portion of the communication.
The four thieves were brought to Mr.. Dolls
ranch by party of friendly Indians. They con
fessed thai they had plan laid to rob a train Of
mules in few days Scott mountain They
also acknowledged thai they had killed twenty
one Cinnamon and three Americans. one Of
them was the largest Indian ever seen in thai
that they were TO be executed they set mp Inc
most p:teous cries, but as they were portion
of banl who refused to live with The friendly
Indians or at peace with the whites, aud as
friendly In ians present, lit was ihought best to
shoot them AT once. They were accordingly
tied up and shot,
The friendly Indians premise to bring in the
remainder OF The baud, provided The whites vii
kill Them they say they desire peace. and
wish to assist the whites in raising grain. &c.
The whites are very wisely assisting them to
keep these good resolutions by furnishing them
with considerable quantities of food. A pariy
of whites, few days previous. killed three Of
the same band on the head waters of Clear
Greek. They bad, few days previous, stolen
valuable horse from the ranch of Mr.. Brush,
and badly wounded another

SHASTA COUNTY WHEAT CRoP-Insan estimate
of the aggregate number Of acres now sowed in
wheat in the State, published in recent mum.
Der of the San Francisco Chronicle, we observe
that Shasta County is set down at 1000 acres.
This is far too small. We are informed by Mai.
?. B. Reading that there are fully 500 acres in
wheat on Cottonwood alone. We are satisfied,
and we have made considerable enquiry in re-
gard to this matter, that the number Of acres OF
wheat now growing in this county, is but little,
II any, short of three thousand.
