AssassiIis Caught.

Foots, Roberts and Bas, the assassins of
Mr. Mason, at Michigan Bluffs, about eight
days ago, were caught in the mountains
near Ratllesnake Bar, yesterday morning,
and safely lodged in Jail at Auburn. They
were first discovered by q man who was look
ing for horses, who suspected they were the
men. lie Immediately returned and report
ell to his partner, when they Immediately
returned to where the murderers were con-
cealed in the woods, and invited them TO
their cabin to get something to eat, and
despatched a man Immediately to the bar
for assistance. Deputy Sheriff Boggs at
once repaired to the spot, but before he ar
rived, the murderers had surrendered to
four or five miners who had arrived at the
cabin in advance of the Sheriff They beg
ged hard to be taken to jail, as they feared
the people would hang them. The were
nearly exhausted from hunger, and stated
that they only had four scanty meals during
they eight days they were in the woods, and
slept on the ground without blankets -
Foots, who killed Mason, was so feeble he
could scarcely walk. Great excitement ex-
lists at the Bluffs, and fears were entertain
Ell that they would be taken from the au-
thorities and hung by the excited populace.

District Court.

Owing to the i'll health of Judge DANGER
field, the May term of the District Court for
this county, will be held by Judge Monson,
of Sacramento The Sacramento Bee, of
Tuesday, thus warns the legal fraternity of
Oroville of what they may expect:
Judge Monson will go to Oroville to-
morrow, to take the place of Judge Dain-
gertield, whose health is such as not to adj
NIT of his attending to his duties. We are
inclined to think that Judge Monson's
promptness and summary style of doing bu-
siness will somewhat astonish the Oroville
lawyers We advise them to come into
court with their cases properly prepared, if
they do not wish TO submit to the necessity
of repairing their errors after it is too late"
As the remarks Of the Lee imply that
OrOvile lawyers sometimes 60 into court
without having their cases "prOperly pre-
pared" we improve the occasion to repel
the implication. The Oroville lawyers al
ways 90 into court with their cases properly
prepared-some "properly prepared" for
defeat, md some properly prepared for
success-but all properly prepared"
Judge Monson arrived yesterday morning
and opened court. But little business of
Importance was transacted The trial of
French, charged with the murder of a Chi
naman near Wyandott, year since, was set
for Monday.

Away Goes the steamer.

We received - letter yesterday from Cap
tain Gilman, Agent Of the California Steam
Navigation Company at Marysvillc, an
nouncing that the Oroville Steam Packet,
Sam Soule, will make her last trip from that
place to Oroyille, on Monday next, with the
request that We should insert notice to
that effect. The reason assigned for hauling
off the Steamer is. that she has sunk money
for the company since she has been in the
Oroyille trade This is a very good reason,
and one that ought to be sufficient, however
much we may regret the discontinuancc
We were unwilling to admit that the bust
ness Of Oroville, and the mining localities
by which it is surrounded, is not sufficient
to employ n tri.weekly steamer, to run in
connection with the cities below but the
trial has been made, we believe fairly, and
the result is before us, in the above an
nounccment by the agent of the navigation
Company. We can doubt no longer.
This result, we firmly believe, might very
easily have been prevented, had our
citizt rs and business men, went to work
with determination to open avenues from
Orovile to other mining sections, and thus
invited trade and business hither Instead
of doing this, they have stood idly by, and
permitted the trade above US to be carried
had steamer running to our very doors.
Every pound of goods that have been car
ried into Pumas county the present spring,
might have been received at the landing in
Orovlle, il we had permitted the packers
and traders to cross at the Junction, and
come hither. But that would intefere with
Judge Lewis's toll bridge, and our Board
of Supervisors would not permit the wants
Of community to intefere with has prospects
Application might as well have been made
TO the Yuba Board of Supervisors, to estab-
lish a ferry that would turn the Plumas
travel through Oroville, as 10 expect our
present Board of Supervisors 10 grant IL
cense for ferry that could, by any possible
means interfere with the receipts of Judge
Lewis bridge.
The result of their devotion to private
interest is before us. Foreseeing it, we
urged the necessity Of establishing . ferry
or bridge at the Junction But this our
authorities wonld not permit. This travel
must pay toll to Judge Lewis, and their
trade goes around us to Marysvile. Their
trade increases, and there is no encourage.
mcut for continuing ours.
Oroville Isl horsetowD, hut Judge Lewis
bridge investment is safe one. Ii our Su.
pervisors can find any gratiScation in con-
templating the part they have enacted in
contributing to bring about this state of
affairs, we wish them joy.

LUMBER There was raft of twenty
thousand feet of lumber passed down the
river on Sunday last, destined for the Sac
ramento market. 1t was brought from
what are known as the Battle Creek Mills,
about forty miles above here, aud it will
have travelled over two hundred miles
when it reaches Sacramento. This is
rather an experiment, and we hope the en-
terprisng young men who are engaged in
it will make it pay.

ten miles east Of this place, one day last

is engaged in manufacturing it for the up

from this specimen, are worth double those

it should not become very profitable busi-

crowded out of our paper last week:]
OF this devoted follower of the Saviour it may
well be said that his example worthy of imi-
tation. AS parent he was kind and aAfectionate;
but strict in dschargIng his duty, having always
before him the admonition of the Apostle-''Train

Dor he possessed those endearing qualities which
gained for him the love. and esteem Of all who
came within the circle of his acquaintance. Be.
essor( of religion, he endeavored to show to all
those around him by his daily walk and converse
ton that he had been with Jesus and learned of
Him. The writer of these lines visited him fire.

heard him express desire to depart and be with
Christ, and often seen tears of joy course their
way down his pale cheek, giving evidence that
ellis hope was full,

OF Immortality. -
Whenever fit opportunity presented itself he
urged upon those around him the necessity of a
change of heart: ''For," said he, sswhat should
do were it not for the hope of Heaven" A few
days previous to his death he was attacked with
violent hemorrhage of the lungs which was so
we're that life seemed almost extinct: soon as
he recovered so as to be able to speak he raised
his eyes and seeing his little standing around
him weeping, he told them not to weep-not to

that fell from his lips. In few hours after wards
he sweetly fell asleep in the arms of Jesus. The
