DIX SANFoND's LIVER INvIooRAToR is what we
wish to recommend with confidence to our read
ers, our reasons for which will appear in the
following:
Some time since, while troubled with D.yspep-
STA, Indigestion, and thousand other ills that
none but the Dyspeptic suffer, our physician de-
MED us the use of the favorite cup of coffee
with our breakfast But this did not lessen the
evil, so by the Dr.'s advice meat was discarded
from our dIet-yet Dyspepsia haunted US day
and night, until finding no relief among physi-
clans, we commenced the use Of family medi-
cincs with less faith than hope. Among other
things, we were recommended to try DIX. SAN
ronp's LIVER ixvIGonAroR. We tried it, and
since then we have recommended others to try
it, while they in their turn have given their
accommodation, and there are cases that We
know of who have tried ii but have been bene-
fitted by its use. 1t is the most invigorating,
life giving balSam we have ever known, aud we
are happy in telling all of its curative proper
ties, aud in recommending them when troubled
with any arrangement of the Liver, to try this
uniailiug remedy.-Fre,toniaD emoerat.

The total assessed valuation Of property
in the county for 1856, was $2,2OOOOO;
for 1857, s2,l6o,5o4 ss. The inquiry is
made as to the cause of this falling off, when
it is patent to every intelligent observer that
there has been an increase Of good buildings,
improvement of ranches, turnpikes made and
old ones improved, and many miles of ditch
constructed. An answer will be found in
pixies and canals. The American River Canal
in 1856 was assessed at $4,000, and the
Auburn and Bear River Canal at the same
figures; this year the former is assessed at
100000 and tho latter at SIS, OOO-show-
ing the enormous decrease, upon the two
principal canals in the county, Of $4,000
in single year. The Auburn and Bear
River Canal alone falls off $50, 900. This
ditch company is reported as having expen-
ded 100000 in the past year in improving
their works, and yet their canal has lost
nearly one-half its valuation in that time
This is matter that requires explanation.
There is somathing wrong here. 1t looks as
if the Bear River Company were Sinking
taxation, and that the Assessor and Board
of Equalization had been rcmisS in the per-
formance of their duties.
The turnpike and canal companies derive
a large revenue from the people Of the coun-
ty, and it is but just they should be assessed
and pay as fair a proportion as the merchant,
mechanic, miner, and other property holders
If the Bear River Company's valuation Of
$4,000 on 200 miles of ditch is fair one,
then the owners of ranch improvements and
buildings in the county have returned their
property at fifty per cent. more than they
should have done.
In 1855, twenty nine bitches were return
ed assessed at $375,OOO, and nine turnpikes
and bridges at 81 900. In 1857, we have
the singular statement that twenty four
bitches are on the roll for 1925, 900, and
seventeen turnpikes and bridges are only
worth $4,000. Such statistics as these in
dictate that the progress in the kind of pro-
perty named is neutrality-suspicious. as it
may seem, the more money invested in the
turnpikes and canals the less valuable they
become.
By an examination Of the Assessment roll
of the county, we obtain the following list of
individuals and companies whose taxes each
amount to 500 and upward:
The Placer herald., 1857-10-03

Companies) alone is $4,000: an cxtraor-
dinary falling off in view of the fact that
population and wealth is increasing in the
county.
In the assessment upon the mining canals
in the county we find decrease SO great
that we are completely at a loss to account
for it.
Last year there were twenty-four canals re-
turned assessed at sS99,loo this year thirty
four arc assessed at s325,oOO:

MURDER IN NEvADA.-The Sacr,no..
Union learns from persons from Nav.d.
the following particulars Of the late mr.
der at that place:
John vedder was killed by Henry p,nm
mer City Marshal, under circumstance. ~ ron
resented to us to be of the most aporav.,i .p r.
character. An intimacy had existed \"
tween Plummer and Vedder's wife wh;"r
had caused separation between tbo NV"
ried pair, although Vedder continuad 11' y.
occupy his old residence. On FRIDAY n;oS, h.
Sept. 25th, about twelve o'clock. yedSSas ySa.
returned home, and was shot throuoh tts ths
heart, on ascending the stairs, as Is ,un D
posed, by Plummer, he being in the bon.e
in company with Vedder's wife. and w.
one else present The particulars Of ,hs %
transaction are, of course, known onlv N ,hs s
guilty party and his companion. 'Wbetb'
er there was any alteration before IN.
fatal shot was fired, is known onlv % to
them. Mrs. Vedder will be the ONLY vii.
ness at the trial, and considering the in.
timacy between her and the accused vii,
in all probability, give the most favorable
account Of the transaction for him. Plum.
mer was at once arrested and lodged in
Jail, having waived preliminary examin.
alton. The populace were much exa.per,
ated.
Plummer has since been admitted to
bail, and is now at large. The excitement
among the people has subsided.
LATER.-Pummer's bondsmen have piyen
him up to the authorities, and has again been
incarcerated in Jail.

Placer County Statistics - Interesting
Items from the Assessors Reports of 1855
and 1857

An examination Of the Reports Of the AS
SCISSOR Of this county, for the years 1856 and
1857, exhibits some facts that will prove in
teresting to those Of our readers who take
an interest in the development Of the re-
sources of the county, and its future wealth
and stability. The most pleasing feature to
be observed in this examination, is the fact
that many are making improvements and
accommodating those comforts which none but
the permanent settler would spend money
and time to obtain. 1t is in the increase
and variety Of choice fruit that we observe
this disposition in many to lay here their
hearth stones, and beautify and make valua-
ble honsteads, that before long will be the
abodes Of wealth and comfort.
The increase in the number of fruit trees
from '56 81 will be seen in the following
table:
The Placer herald., 1857-10-03

Although the above shows large increase,
vet the number of trees given fall far short
Of the actual number in the county. Many
trees we're set out in the spring, some time
after the Assessor had commenced the year
" assessment, and consequently are not in
cluded in the Report.
In the Report Of 1855, the amount of
land under cultivation was given at 5,s44
acres. We have no estimate for this year.
but observe that the whole amount Of land
taken up in the county is 100000 acres
ono-fourth is inclosed In 1855 the Of which
number Of acres inclosed were u 600.
