MAesAsmrr.-Iu an article in the last Beaeo,

MAesAsIxITY.-Ina an article in the last Beacon
in regard to the boundaries of that county, we
find the following bit of rare logic:
If Butte and Shasta will exhibit the same de-
gree Of magnanimity towards Tehama, as the
latter has evinced towards her weaker sister,
Colpsi, our limits will soon extend from Mu,i
Creek on the south, to Bear Breek on the north.
Tehama was g caught in the act' of trying to
steal or gobble up" big slice of q her weak
sister, colusi." She wss roundly berated there
for as piratical and dishonest person. She
was, in fact, literally acussed. out of her un-
generous designs. This refusing to persist in I
design to rob her nefghbor, the Beacon CALI
magnanmity," and asks Shasta county Il
evince the same sort of " magnaaimity" towardo
Yehama, by giving her big slice Of our choicea6
agricultural lands This is rare logic. ThS
Beacon man comes TO Shasta, and shortly theres
after we find him in our garden stealing peachess
we say to him, "you 'piratical and dishones
scamp, lay down that bag of roseate and deIi
cious fruit = we show fight; we draw one
Aliens revofversi we say, "git"-and he ID

the outside of our yard, he says to our neipbbJ
who also has sundry trees loaded with peach,
:" Hal behold my magnanimity, in not steal1

ATTEMPTED RoBBERY-On Saturday night
last, three robbers, muffled, entered cabin near
Middletown, where three miners were sleeping,
woke them, presented their pistols at their
Sneads, and demanded their money. Upon being
told that they had none, one of the robbers in
sated that he knew better, as he had known
1 tie gentleman he was then addressing some
shree years. Finally, they made one of the

End tlfe hidden treasure, but being disappoint-
cd, decamped.
We are happy to state that the miners did
have treasure, and that the robber dug within
about four inches of it, without getting paid for
his trouble. One of the miners states that 'sthe
robbers had the dead thing on us, particularly
when they had them pistols levelled at our

WEIGHTS AND MEAsuREs.-The law of 1850 in
relation to weights and measures has been
amended by the present Legislature, so as to
make it obligatory upon all persons using any
weights, measures or beams, by which any COM
modify or article of trade or traffic is weighed
or measured" to have the same certified to by
the Deputy, or County Sealer. The law leaves
unaltered the old exorbitant fees. Thus every
merchant and trader in the county will hereaf-
ter be subjected to charge of from ten to ff-
teen dollars per year, for having his weights and
measures sealed. As not one cent of this will
go into the county treasury, the County Sealer
will have mighty good thing. The law gives
the Secretary of State the power to appoint a
Deputy County Sealer for each county. The law
is an outrage disgrace to the statute books.
What sense is there in compelling a merchant
to have his quart pot or half gallon measure
" sealed once a year?
