SrABpING AND PROBABLE DEATH--Early yester
day morning a man known as .'Big Jim was stab
bed at Gray's Ranch. this side of the Honcut. by
another named II. n. Meacham. The story of the
stsbbing, which has obtained currency, is as fol-
lows: The two men had been in attendance on .
ball at the above named locality. and from some
cause (probably intoxication) quarrelled, came to
blows and were separated, after which they drank
and "made up Shortly thereafter, and while "Big
JIM was leaning over the counter in the barroom.
Meacham entered and stabbed Jim in the back with
q bowie knife. Meacham then ran away, hid the
knife and then attempted to hide himself but was
found, and was yesterday brought up and lodged in
jail Big Jim's wounds are supposed to be moral.
legal investigation will perhaps alter the aspect
Of this very serious affair. The wounded. man has
been acting as oster rthe California Stage Gem

employed for some months past in herding sheep

JUNCTION FERRY.--lt is understood that the
Board Of Supervisors will to-day hear the ap-
plication for bridge or ferry at the junction
of the North and Middle Forks of Feather
river. Although there is no established ferry
or bridge within the distance prohibited by
statute, the influence Of other routes has here
tofore been sufficient to induce the Board of
supervisors to withhold license for ferry or
bridge at the point menii, ned. We have be-
ieved, and still enterrai the opinion that this
refusal of the Board to grant license for
crossing at that point, has had the effect to
retard the business growth and prosperity of
0roville, and the advancement Of the county
As it now stands. we are pursuing the most
suicidal course possible, by declining to invite
travel to us, and compelling it TO go away
from US. 1t is be hoped that the Board will
throw away all other considerations. and be
governed in their decision by the public good
alone. 1t is folly for US TO attempt 10 build

fuse to open avenues to it,

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
To the Public.

NNHERE appeared an article in the last Record
Il calculated, if unexplained, to reflect upon nv
humanity. A Coroner's inquest was held on We'd.
nesday the 9th ult., upon the body of Edward Har
is, who died while under the Medical care. and in
the private Hospital of DR.. Gilbert in Oroyille
Five of the Coroiiers jury have drawn up under
their names and published to the world a reflection
upon me for discharging said deceased from IN.
County Hospital. One Of the jury refused to sion
1t, and 1t not being the verdict of Jury it is h,t
p'1rdfe missile. None of the evidence as the act

cluslon shat said deceased had not received ali ns
ceSsary medical care and attention from the time he
first consulted physician. But the real facts Of
the case deVeioped by the evidence, which agree
with the truth, are these
Said deceased on the morning Of tbc 95,b nj,
came perfect stranger to tie County Uoenif,I
now under my charge who he was where he ca,,o
fro m. and whether he had family or friends was a
mystery. he had an attack of ervsipclos on the

SO in the Hospital ffter sof1e fd-lr hours through
the influence Of the cmetic he became calm and "a
tonal, and stated that he shc5ld go to consult an
other physician, and would take no more of my
medicines, to which consented and thus discharg-
ed him from the Hospital, in clear day, and, with
in four hours after he had entered it, at the same
time considering his disease very critical. He i'm.
medately came to DR.. Gilbert, who took him IL
treated his case, the dec eased paying him frc dol

into the Hospital again. stating that deceased had
no more money and could not live long. To this {

well from there as here that Dr. G. ought not to

4 PAXoRAMA OF CALIFoRSrA.-We had the
pleasure OH Thursday last of receiving call from
our old friend Mr. George Tyrre, for several years
well and favorably known throughout the State as
a scenic artist Mr. Tyrel has been occupied during
greater portion Of the past year in making elabo-
rate sketches of California scenes of which he has
accumulated a large number, and from which he
will soon commence the painting of an extensive
panorama, designed more especially for exhibition
in the Atlantic States. This panorama is intended
to convey such an idea of California scenery, Gus
toms and pecularities has before been pro-
jected in any previous undertaking of the kind. 1t
will embrace not only complete and extended views
and Illustrations OF the various kinds of mining and
mountain scenery, bat will include characteristic
and actual agricultural scenes rctlres of all the
prominent cities, towns and notable natural objects
and whatever of interest describable upon canvas,
that those de ,iring information concerning our
golden land may wish to know. In fact, the pano.
rama is intended exhibit in their true coors the
vast resources and b1undless extent of mining and
agricultural lands within our borders. Mr.. Tyrrel
has nearly completed his sketching tour, and will
soon com nence in San Francisco, the painting of
the panorama, whi;h viii occupy the time of one
year or more. This is grand scheme and one
which commends itself to US as cmnenty worthy of
success.

The Presidents Position.

The attitude assumed by Mr.. Buchanan toward
Senator Douglas must be an exceedingly awkward
one for him to occupy He took his stand on Kan
sas matters in obedience to the demands of southern
extremists and now that the heat of the battle IS
past, his persistent opposition TO Mr.. Douglas Is
even out-Herodng Herod. for his iercest upholderS
and most valiant hackers, have almost to man
sgnied their espousal of Douglas de OF the illi-
nois fight, and certai ly the northern Democrats
who voted for Lecompton while the Kansas matter
was before Congress, have, either through ftar oi
their political heads, or from coT1cton oil thelt
errors given in their allegiance TO the Douglas
cause. The Presidents fighting the little giant Oh
his hook, and against the views and advice of his
former hackers. Even English. the Adrnnistra-
tion 5 most servile tool, is represented as having
abandoned the position assumed III LIS ''blii. =
None but the Presidents own organs, they that
are dependent upon bis caprice for life unite with
tie Black Republicans in the war against Illinois
Democracy. No respectfully numerous body OF
nominal D -mocrats oppose Mr. Douglas reelection
the oppo ition Of the Administration extends no

than the ont ponlings of bitter personal hate AT
the head of this insignificant personal attack Is oar
chief National Executive, and he has gone 50 FAR
that to make his ridiculous position at all consist
ent, he must keep up the battle until the election
by the legislature of Illinois shall have relieved him
from his unpleasant attitude. The President feels
himself involved in difficulty out Of which he
no escape but by fighting, and he is t.wading in
Quixote like only meet with disgraeeful defeat
or still more disgraceul victory. Truly "our
venerable Chief Magistrate has ,rked himself
into most pitiahe plight. Let the fight termi-
nate it will, lis part ia it will rebound to
