awkward positions imaginable and we

advise all our friends of nimble shanks
to go in while the cakes are hot.

cattle thieves were to have been hung at Union
City, Aemada county, last night; and also
two near Stockton. Those at Union City were
guarded by an armed party of one hundred
men. They are all Spaniards, and will receive
trial from the mob before their execution
although the evidence of their guilt is said to
be so conclusive as almost to do away with the
necessity of trial
If the execution should take place as ru-

.sThe COUNTY Seat.o

he SOuntN CCdt
The North Californian is after the
County seat, and under the above head,
puts forth an article in which the pecul-
lar fitness of Oroville is set forth, and
from which we make few extracts, not
for the purpose of opposing the giant
strides of that lively city, but to let our
readers have an inkling of what is going
on down at the end of the ditch. The
article starts off with the following sen
tence
Five -si1ths of the population of Butte
County is located in the valley, and the foot
hills bordering upon it."
Si1-sixtbs of the population of Butte
County, in our estimation are located In
the same manner-the county in fact,
is composed of the valley and the foot
hills bordering upon it.
Good wagon roads centre here from every
direction.
If there is a good wagon road from
Bidwell to Ophir, there must be a good
wagon road from Ophir to Bidwell. The
fact which the article in the Californian
seems sirious to establish, is that good
wagon roads centre at Orovillc, from
every direction" in the county, and
that roads leading from Oroville to other
portions of the county, are dangerous to
life and limb. But we will not argue the
general tone of the article, for We might
not give it the au hours exact construc-
ton. However, VIC think there is no
misunderstanding the following sentence e
which occurs in the article. From every
direction to Oroville, it must be remem-
berod the wagon roads are good bnt the
editor is now describing a trip from Oro-
vile to Bldwell Here he comes, not
''up in balloon" but down the ca1ion {:
when reach the Miners Ranch VIC take
\ drink and last, lingering look at the sun
breath a short prayer, and jump into the can
on that empties at Bidwell, and FIVE slide out
whole Mt the lower end we have reason to
think our stars have teen propitious."
The only amendment We have to sug.
ge't to the above, is that that the editor
should pray and "taAc last lingering
look at the SUM-" before he takes the
"drink." As it is his own theory, how
ever, we shall offer no objection to his
practicing as he pleases. To proceed
upon the Editors plan, he "would take
a drink'' at the Miners Ranch, climb
up beside the driver and plunge into the
calon. Directly the editor would hear
"something drop''-when the following
conversation would take place between
the driver from the box, and the gen
tlemen from Oroville down in the mud
--Gentleman from Oroville-"Who's
hurt :" Driver-"Why, no one. y
Gent from Orovills--"Didn't lightning
strike the stage' and amt it upset" -
Driver-"No, no. Get aboard, again"
Gentleman from Oroville, climbing up
on the bO1-"Wcll, (hic) if I'd known
that. (hic) wouldn't got off,"
We suggest, in the most respectful
manner, if the Editor can do so with
due regard to his health, that he come
down the cai1on for once, without taking
a drink at the Miners Ranch, and we
will wager "plug of the natural leaf"
that he will improve the road materially
