DARING OUTRAGE-DREADFUL TRAGEDY.
The Sacramento Union of yesterday has
the following:-
AT 10 o'clock P. NJ. on Monday last, two
Under SheriffS left Drytown for Jackson,
with foreign miners taxes, which they had
been collecting. Two miles out they were
attacked by twelve Mexicans and after fir
ing all the shots they had, retreated to Dry
town, and raised gang to pursue the rob-
bers, and followed them to Rancheria, two
miles beyond Drytown. On reaching that
place, they found that the Mexicans had ar
rived there in advance of them, and that
they had rushed into the house and store of
Mr.. Francis, (partner Of Sheath, Arnold &
Co., of this city shooting and killing every
person in the room-fve, including Mr.. F.
and one woman. They broke open the safe
with an axe, robbed it of its contents and
then fed.
The driver Of the Drytown and jackson
stage to whom we are indebted for the
above intelligence, says that the entire
country is alive with persons searching for
the nurderers.

While the Press I'll

While the Press throughout the State
are speaking in praise of the skill and scientific
attainments of the celebrated DIR. J. c. YOUNG,
q San Francisco, we wish to add to the weight
of the testimonies and recommendations of those
who are acquainted with several cures and who
have been benefited by his treatment. They
speak of him as the most scientific practitioner
they ever met with; and when is added to that
generous man and perfect gentleman, as he
is known to be, it would be advisable for the af
ficted fellow men to call upon him in preference
{ all others. Not only has he treated the sick
with success, but by his Medical works, particu-
larly the Pocket Esculapius, he has warned the
well ones how to avoid sickness and deaths Get
his works and read them, and you will have the
same opinion of him that all do when acquaint-
ed with him.
His Office is over Wells. Fargo & Co.'S Express
