WRITE TO Your FRENDs.-We clip the
following pointed rebuke of too common
fault of CaIifornans, from the Marysville
Inquirer:
1t is criminal negligence for men in this
country to alarm their friends in the East
by long and inexcusable silence We see
men every mail dny who say "Well ought
to have written home, ] have not written
FOR six months" No wonder our home
friends think this bad country, which can
so change men. We received letter IRON

containing most anxious inquiries about ms
son. Now that son is well has plenty Of
time TO write, and really is living sober
and decent life, but yet has not sent mes
sage to his parents for tweyemonth. his
mother is in the deepest distress concerning
him. and never expects TO hear from nm
again. This is only mentioned as an IN.
stance. We doubt not there are hundreds
Of sons, husbands and brothers, in this State
guilty Of similar negligence. 1t is shame
and sin! We hope this reminder may be

Who will be the next Victim ?

The practice Of firing pistols in our public
and it is time it should be stopped. 1t has
been o source Of wonder to us that men
have not been more frequently shot by this
promiscuous firing of pistols. Those com
mitting these offences should be severely
punished. whether their crimes are atteuded
with disastrous consequences or not, Tor II Is
certainly not the caution Of those using them
on such occasions. that no one is hurt. We
have noticed too, that in nine cases out OF
ten when a pistol had been discharged by
some reckless person (laboring under the ei-
lects Of strong drink if any one IS injured
/ il is sure to be some peaceablc and quiet
citizen. who accidentally happens within the
rance of the murderous bullet. Such was
the fact in the case Of Mr. Murray whose
unfortunate death is recorded in this days
uaucr # bchooyes every good citizen hay-
inc regard for the public good and his per-
souoi safety to use all means within hlSpo"-
cr to stop this growing evil. Our peace Oh
Gcers should be on the alert, and never al
low drunken man to retain pistol in his
possession. The Legislature had under con
sidcration this session stringent law in re-
gard to carrying deadly weapons We do
not know whether it has passed or not, but
believe it is absolutely necessary that law
should be passed to prevent, as far as pos
| sible, the carrying and using upon the slight
est occasion deadly weapons. Very many
carry weapons because others do. We would
say. then to that class Of our citizens leave
your arms at home, and set an example
which may be followed by Others and per
/ haps save yourselves and their I lifetime OF
misery and remorsc, for a deed done IN the
heat of passion or excitement, at which your
souls would revolt in calmcr moments Man
is seldom so hardened in yilauy that he does
not afterwards regret the commission OF a
crime, and nearly all the murders in Cali
rornia are committed without prcmeditation,
in the excitement of the moment, caused IN
almost every instance by the too frequent
use Of intoxicating liquors, and would not
occur at all did not the parties in their so
bcr moments provide themselves with wcap-
ons, to be used when liquor has made them
Jrarc. As things are now, no one is safe IN
passing through our public streets. We
know not at what moment II messenger of
death may come crashing through our brain.
Let us all, then, use our individual influence
to put an end to this evil, for we cannot tell
who will be the next victim

How TO GET LETTERS FROM HoME-A
young merchants clerk, who had been i'll
California since lS49, without making hlS
fortune, found it very difficult matter to
get any letters from home, and particularly
from young lady to whom he was engaged
when he started Ground the Horn" About
six months since he entered into a small
mercantile speculation, and it resulted very
fortunately, and he was very much elated.
He felt confident thas in month or so his
wares would rise so that he would have a
snug little sum to live on, and thinking that
he would like to retire to farm, he wrote
home to an acquaintance, asking the price
of certain fine farm not very far from Day
ton, Ohio. A reply came, in about three
months time, and with it, very much to his
surprise came a number Of sympathislng let
ters from his intended that was, and from a
number of other young ladies and their
frie-ds, who apparently had been taken with
a sudden great friendship for the young man.
He has concluded to remain here, under the
impression that he would not be safe in the
vicinity of Dayton. Chronicle

THE Masonic GRIP.-At the recent fcsti
val of the Provincial Grand Lodge, at Glas
Cow, Sir Archibald Allison, the historian
mentioned that during the assault or the
Redan, small party of soldiers led up tc
one of the guns placed in a recess, were re
ceived by body of Russians, and the Eng
lisb officer was about to be bayoneted, when
CHANGING to catch the hand Of the Russian
officer, he had presence of mind enough to
give him masonic grip. The Russian in Il
moment struck up the bayonets of his sol
diers, led his newly found brother to the
rear, and treated him with all the kindness
of a mason.

Of our citizens living ON the outskirts OF
town are setting out shade and fruit trees,
and making gardens about their dwellings.
This is n most laudablc undertaking, and
should be encouraged In very short time
with n little care our town would present
the appearance of long settled villages IN
older countries The main street OF FaggS-
Vile presents IA most pleasing appearance al
ready, and if Others living along that street
will follow the example set them, and place
n row Of shade trees in front of their prem
iscs. they will most assurcdly reap benefit
thcrcfrom in the consciousness of having
added to the comfort and pleasure of those
who come after them, even though they
themselves should be thousands of miles
away. We should get over this idea OF mere
" aaUng in in California, and make arrange
mcntS for the future, for certain it is that
not more than Il third of our present popu-
latou who think of leaving California will
ever do SO By cxpending little time and
money we could in few years have beau

their families with the pleasant anticipation
Of welcoming them to home, not much IN

Mulder.

On Monday evening last, man named
Dennis Murray was shot on Main street, IN
front of the Diana Billiard Saloon, by John
Fehlcy. The circumstances Of the murder
as far as known, as these. 1t appears that
Fchlcy, who is miner had a quarrel with
his partner early in tbceyeniDg, during which
he received a scratch on the face. This APP
pears to have exospcratcd him, and he com
mcnced drinking very freely During the
evening he had conversation with an ac-
quaintance in relation to the difficulty be
tween himself and partner In the course
Of the conversation, Fchcy rcmarkcd that
he had Something in his breast for those who
bad intcrfcrcd with him. at the same time he
drew pistol, cooked it, and extending his
arm, fred, the ball striking Murray in the
back Of the head and lodging in the brain
Murray was standing about ten or twelve
feet off, aud it is supposed with his back to-
wards Fchcy taking no part in the conyor-
sation, and wholly unconscious Of being in
any danger lie fingered, apparently in
great agony until Tuesday morning, when he
died, without having given any signs of con
sciouSness.
Fehley was Immediately arrested and ta-
ken to Jail An examination was had before
Justice Vaughn on Thursday when he Mas
committed to await the action Of the Grand
Jury.
Whether the pistol was fired deliberately
at Murray, or whether it was the result of a
drunken mans folIya rccGIcssncss, isos yet
matter of doubt. II the former, it is GER
family most cold bloodcd murder, if on the
other hand, FchIcy had no intention of shoot
ing Murray, hring pistol in apubIlc street
where people are constantly passing to and
fro, is in itself sufficiently atrocious to merit
the seycrest punishment.
Mr. Murray was Il remarkably quiet, in
offensive man, highly esteemed byaIl his ac-
quaintances, he and his brother have long
been residents of our county, and were just
making arrangements 10 visit their old
home, when this untimely event occurred.
