Volcano weekly ledger., 1856-06-14

The MEETING AT SUFFER- CREEK A meet
ing of the citizens of Sutter Creek and vicin-
ity, was held at that place last week to take
into consideration the Pico grant. At that
meeting a resolution was passed, that the pro-
ceedings be published in the Sentinel and
Ledger The Secretary sent copy to the
Sentinel but failed to send us one, and hence
the reason they did not appear in our paper
of last week. and at this late day we do not
think it worth while to insert them.
Law AND ORDER.-Passing by party of
men, the other evening who were discussing
the action of the Vigilance Committee we
heard one of them, who is law and order
man, say-That he would join the Vigilance
Committee if they would only hang one third
Of the editors in California and then destroy
their presses We will wager anything that
that individual has, at some time or other, re-
ceived full justice at the hands of some one
of the quil-driving fraternity.
The LosT TREAsURE-The Shasta Repub-
ieam says The party that visited Trinity
Mountain for the purpose of recovering the
money stolen from the Express, returned on
Saturday last. Their search was entirely un-
successful The money was buried in winter
when there was snow on the mountain The
grass now covers the ground, and the trees
are green, giving the locality such different
appearance that Newton, one of the robbers,
found it impossible to Indicate the spot where
the treasure was sccreted The search is
abandoned for the present.
Ir will be seen, by advertisement, that
Mrs. Hoyts School for Misses and Young
Ladies will be open for pupils on Monday
next Those having daughters to educate will
do we'll to call and see Mrs. H. She is an
educated lady, amiable accomplished, and au
excellent teacher, and every way qualified
for the business in which she is engaged.
They openly advocate the secession of Cali
tornia from the Federal Union. That they
now ayow the purpose of overturning the
State Government and Of declaring our In
dependence anew" is matter capable of
proof State Journal.
A few weeks ago, when we stated that we
had heard it intimated that an association
having for its purpose the object above mem
toned, the Journal said-"Bosh."
SLUG GULcH.-A gentleman who has just
returned from this mining locality, informs
US that the miners there were doing fine
business. The diggings are generally deep,
and worked by tnnneling. They are sup
piled with water from the Indian Diggings
Ditch.
DEATH FROM CHLoRoFoRM-La Friday
evening miner by the name of Underwood,
died from the effects of chloroform, that was
administered to him prior to performing
surgical operation upon him. He had been
drinking pretty hard for few days previous.
This makes two deaths that have occurred in
this place from the effects of chloroform in the
past two months
FIGHTs.-Three or four fights have occur
red in this place during the week This is
doing very we'll considering the hot weather
We would advise those persons who become
so hot headed, to call on S Maynard and
procure supply of pure mountain snow--it
is a better way to cool your courage.
GRIzzLEY KuLED.-A Digger Indian, on
Monday last, killed a female grizzley and
two young cubs, near the Mokelumne River,
and about six miles from this place The In
dians were Immediately collected together
from miles around, AMI the fandango contin-
ued while there was "greese spot" left of
bruin.
TEHAMA.-The Legislature forgot to pro-
vide courts for this new county, and conse-
quently the local officers find that "barren
sceptre" has been placed in their hands. The
evil cannot be remedied until the next Gen
eral Assembly.
LOCAL NEws.-We have used every exer-
ton, and can obtain but few local items this
week. The weather is excessively warm and
our community are endeavoring to take
things as cody as possible.
