LOG RoLLING.-People who ride on horses and
in wheeled vehicles have a very natural way of
hitcning their animals to the awning posts whic h
front nearly every building in the business portion
of the town. 1t has proved to be dangerous
practice in several instances dangerous to the
horses the vehicles passers by, and the awnings
/ themselves A while agOwe saw frightened horse
jerk a post from under the awning that surrounds
the theatre building and when it fell it ike to have
scared him and several bystanders to death, but
luckily did no greater harm save to the post itself
On Monday last, horse hitched to one of the avn
ing posts in front of Emery's Banking House be-
came restiFe and before he could be quieted he
managed to snake out the supporter from its fast
nngs and down it tumbed, right between him and
another horse ast escaping their legs, and greatly
alarming them and the lockers on. They were
caught and properly secured before any serious dam
age was done. We have heard of several instances
Of like nature, all of which demonstrate the fact
that owners of awnings must either fasten their
posts more firmly fix secure hitching places be-
fore their doors.

from a Dogtown miner. One Of the pieces weighed
twenty-five ounces, and the rest was all in big and
little nuggets. There were eighty-eight ounces of

Death of Senator Ferguson.

A telegraphic despatch fiom San Francisco
on Wednesday last, apprised us of the sad
news of Senator Ferguson's DEATH The Sac
rafnento and San Francisco papers subse-
quently placed us in possession Of the particu-
lars of the melancholy event. His physicians,
upon consultation and examination of the
wounded limb, came to the conclusion that the
sufferers life could only be saved by amputa-
tiop Chloroform was administered and the
operation was performed, but alas the terrible
alternative was of no avail. Physical pros
tration had untitled the patient for the shock,
and, in short half hour after the shattered
limb had been removed, he breathed his last,
calmly and without struggle The thigh
bone was found to be split into several frag-
ments, and modification was found to have set
in.
In all the history of duels and duelling, we
know OF no sadder commentary on the fatal
code than this death OF the brilliant, eloquent
Ferguson. No man had fiairer present or a
brighter future than he; no young man has
more to | We for, and thus in the midst of his
vigor and ful) of hope he has fallen, sacrifice
TO cruel, barbarous custom.
The death of Ferguson will be m,urned less
widely but as sincerely, as that of the brave,
beloved Decatur. The news of his demise has
spread gloom throughout the length and
breadth of the State. The tender testimonials
of bitter bereavement have already attested
how he was endeared to the citizens of the city
and county that have so long honored him with
a seat in our State Senate. His loss concerns
Others than his constituents lit concerns the
State A mere election can never fill his va
cant seat.
| Ferguson needs no eulogy from Us, even
were We capable of writing such a one as
would do his memory justice. His career has
been, not faultless, but brilliant and honorable,
and his death, sad lesson as it is; may prove a
profitable one TO others-may perhaps be in
strumental in the abolition of practice which
has already become much too universal The
lamented deceased was native of Pennsylva-
MIA, but very early in life removed with other
members oil his fathers family, to Illinois, from
which State he emigrated hitherwards- His
memory will ever hold q sacred temple in the
hearts of his many warm friends aid admirers.

The River Claims.

One of the sayings that is in the mouth of
every repeater of old saws, is that, M news
is good news" Some instances, some peculiar
phases of life, justify the exclaimers of that
maxim, most undoubtedly, but it is a falIacy
to think it applies to all sorts of matters, for it
really does not. We conceive it to be bad
omen not to hear frequently from the river
claims. No news is bad news from them
When miners, especially river miners, are
meeting with success, they are pretty sure to
tell Of tat any rate it gets found out. Be.
yond occasional encouraging reports from the
"Cape," we have heard no good tidings from
the fumed claims. The Cove claim is said to
be doing pretty well. in fact it is reported that
twelve thousand dollars worth of dust have
been taken therefrom. We have no means of
knowing how true this report is, and even if it
is true, it is by no means such an encouraging
piece of intelligence as we could wish to hear,
for the claim has been drained for at least two
weeks, and should have made biggere exhibit
of gold than the amount reported, il really
rich. The "Gilman Claim,' the "Union
Claim the "Chahnel Rock and the Ne
braska" furnish US with no cheering news-not
a word, and if they were yielding up great
heaps of gold, we should be pretty sure to
hear of the fact We fear their stockholders
have, so far, found but a meagre remuneration
for their outlay of labor and money. The
fumed claims on the tributaries of Feather
river we hear as little of as we do of those
nearer home.
The Cape claim sends down encouraging re-
ports daily, Notwithstanding the fact that a
large portion of the ground is as yet not drain
ed. 1t is too early to be discouraged concern
ing any of these claims, but we heartily wish
they were rolling out the precious ore, as the
miners all hoped to be doing some weeks ere
this.

The City Printing.

1t will be seen that the present City Coun-
ell composed Of seven Republicans and two
Democrats, has designated the Courier as the
paper in which the City ordinances shall be
published the present year, at the same rates
paid to us and to H. Statesman last year, tina,
is, so cts. a square for the first and 25 cts. for
the second insertion, which is only half the
usual rates. Boyd, with meanness perfectly
characteristic of the man, underbid those prices
twenty per cent for ordinances, but with
saving clause in the shape Of a proUiso, that
the rest Of the printing be given to him, from
which he will doubtless claim most devoted
regard for the taxpayer. The Council, how
ever, were, and the taxpayers of the City
will be, too intelligent to be cheated by this
shallow trick, for il should be remembered
that the ordinances will probably amount to
but small portion Of the printing this year,
and Mr.. Boyd could well afford to print II em
for nothing, with the monopoly of the balance
and the power OF charging what he pleased
But Boyd goes in for cheap printing and sets
the example of rafting. In view Of this fact
we will just say to the County Judge and all
others in authority in this county, that we will
do all County printing, advertising, job work,
tax list and all, twenty per cent lower than
the prices heretofore allowed the Statesman,
Provided, it be all given to us. We make this
as standing offer, and we will see who will
consult the interests Of the tax payer the most.
II the above proposition is not satisfactory we
will bid with the gentleman, If they will give
US the chance. Will they do it? Not bit II
it. Show US an instance where Democrats in
power give their patronage to Republican pa
pers, or to the lowest bidder, unless required
by law or policy to do SO.
This printing business, by the way, has a
history, and we intend to furnish II to the pub
lie As soon a. possible. Boyd's regard for tax
payers, we think, may be illustrated by refer
snee to the prices he has charged and collect
ed for public printing since he has been in the
State. We will only say further here, that we
do not intend that any citizen shall contribute
more to lessen the burdens of taxpayers than
ourself, for proof Of which we will let the
record Of the present municipal year deter
mine.
