A SHOCKING MURDER.-In the early part of
the present week most bloody murder was
perpetrated in Scott Valley, by man named
:" Poker Jim," formerly cook at Calaghans
Ranch. The murdered mans name was Thomp-
son. 1t appears that Poker Jim had married
the daughter of Thompson's wife by a previous
husband, and becoming jealous of Thompson
believing that he had corrupted his wife-de-
termined to kill him at sight. They met by
accident between Wild Cat and South Fork of
Scott river, when Poker Jim shot him with a
double barreled shot gun, then beat him ovel
the head with it, and to make his work particu
larly certain, stabbed him sundry times with a
knife. He then gave himself into the hands Of
the officers of the law

A WOMAN HUNG.-A Mrs. Twiggs, convicted
of the murder of her husband, was hung at Dam
vile, KY, on the 22d Oct Notwithstanding the
generally received notion in the East that Cali
fornia is about half civilized, we are inclined to
the opinion that woman, the mother of a fami-
ly of children, who died asserting her innocence,
would not have been hung in this State. The
account states that she passed the last night
rather comfortably, sleeping with her children
in her arms" What subject for the painter
A mother who died protesting her innocence,
sleeping her last night on earth, with her chill
dren in her armsIn Who is the Governor oil
Kentucky? Is he human? Has he heart
Has he soul to be pardoned by the Chief Exc
cutive of the Universe? Why did he not spare
the life of this woman, and save the great, the
glorious, the chivalrc State of Kentucky this
unspeakable disgrace?

USaRATEFuL.-The Trinity Journal relates
that young man named Gil,oy recently passed

and travel for his life. He, however refused
and Gilroy passed on to the next house with
his fainting animals. From this place he return
ed to the traveller, whom be found speechless
and apparently insane, with his blankets spread
separately With great difficulty he dragged
him to where his cries brought assistance. He
was then warmed into life, and the following
morning left, with scarce an acknowledgement

FROM HONEY LAKE VALLEY-Mr. Tut. mail
carrier between Honey Lake Valley and this
place, arrived in town on Thursday, having left
Susanville on the Monday previous 1t will be
remembered that last Congress declared the
route between this place and Susanville mail
route, but made no provision for putting mail
service on it. Hence the citizens have deter
mined to send mail bag over the route both
ways, every week, at their own expense. This
is the first trip. Mr.. Tut will leave this place
on his return trip next Monday. Henceforth
letters directed to Honey Lake ria Shasta will
generally reach their destination quicker than
by any other route

Two weeks since they took out $500 in one day.
They are the only men working on Knob Gulch,

great credit to Mr.. Bentley. A large number of
gentlemen and ladies from the country and from

BILE that favorable accounts from that region can
come better authenticated than similar accounts

you will remember, published " reliable" letters
from their Gown correspondents" whom they
had sent there at an immense outlay of Jim

their readers with the undoubted truth. You
will remember that those "reiable" letters con-
tanning that undoubted TRUTH" cost you an
immense amount of suffering, over two millions

the accounts from Fraser river, so we say of

read the accounts with calmness, they will be-
