ATTEMPTED SUIcIDEs.-We heard, yester
day, for the first time, of two attempted sui
cides in this city, which occurred on Friday
evening, at about Z o'clock. The first case is
that of German, who has been employed as
cooper at the California Brewery. He
went into corner of the yard, drew a
double barrelled, small sized pistol and, pla-
cling the muzzle against his forehead, lammed
away. The ball glanced, but knocked him
down, and stunned him very considerably -
He was Immediately taken to the County
Hospital. Iti supposed that his skull is bro
ken and that he will die. No cause is as
signed for the act, except partial insanity
from hard-drinking.
The other cast. was that of n man named
Alfred -, who married woman, as we
are told not great while ago, in Oroville
of whom he has been silly enough to be ieal-
GUS On Friday evening, she threatened to
leave him, whereupon he Immediately took a
cup Of cold pizen," and prepared to depart
from this sublunary world. The woman
raised the alarm, sent for doctor, and caused
the "pizen" to he pumped out of him. The
unhappy youth is now doing as well as could
be reasonably expected. This occurrenc,
took place at the Columbia House, on Firs
street.

HUDsoN's BAY.-Ever since the foundation
of this city, great eyesore has been existing
IN the shape of greensh pond of water,
known as Hudsons Bay, from its proximity
to Hudson's lumber yard, between Third and
Fourth and D and G streets Fevers and
agues and all sorts of ills that "Aesh is heir
to" have been attributed to that noisome
sheet of water. In the SUMNER months, it has
been invariably covered with green and
Shiny veil, suggestive Of malaria in all their
direful forms The evil has been talked of
anxiously by the City Council and by the
public generally. At last, it is to be abated
removed made-an end Of We are happy
too to record the fact, which owes its exis
tence to what We shall now set forth. In
the first place. Mr.. Stokes, of the firm of
Stokes d Shields, purchased a lot right in the
middle of the pond, and built nice brick
dwelling, with pretty yard upon it, after
preparing first a space Of made. ground for the
purpose This threw the water into mar
rover confne. This space is now 10 be filed
up by Wiley, Dean d Co., who intend to
cover it with an extension Of their lumber
yard, and small remaining space owned by
Mr.. Stokes, is to be filled up by him. Those.
therefore who desire to take last look at
that magnificent sheet of water, celebrated
in Marysville history, and known as Hud
sons Bay, had better avail themselves of the
opportunity at once, as not trace of it will
be fefs in very short time.

The IluuOr Bill.

Why don't our friend, Fuller, send us
copy of his Bill for the prevention Of adul-
teration of liquors? From the remarks that
we have seen in relation to 1t, We should
Judge it was the very best bill ever gotten
up on the subject. But we have had no copy
of it, from any source whatever. We believe
one provision in it looks to the appointment
of competent chemists to make periodical
analysis of the liquors sold in every esta6-
lishment whether wholesale or retail. Upon
this provision, together with the penalty,
would hinge the whole effect of the law
Could all the liquors daily imbibed in this
State be chemically examined, what a tale
would be unfolded to the astonished dram
drinker! He would find that he had been
drinking strychnine, tobacco and arsenic,
logwood and sugaroflead by the gallon,
and that, if he was not already upon the
brink Of the grave, it was owing to the mer-
ciful providence of God and an iron cousti
tuition.
Men will drink-thnt is q conceded fact,
and, if it were not conceded, the history of
all nations would prove it. Since they will
drink, it is incumbent upon Legislation, which
looks to the happiness of the human species
and the preservation of society, to see that
they drink the pure article. The pure arti-
Gle, if taken to excess, will undermine the
constitution and produce insanity, but the
impure article, if taken even in moderate
quantities, will produce the same result,
The pure article can be had, if proper atten-
ton is paid to the subject by legislators.
That serious attention should be devoted to
the subject, is manifest when we consider
that nine.tenths of all the liquor now sold in
this State alone is aduterated, fenrfully ndul.
terated. Unscrupulous liquor dealers, both
by wholesale and refill, vend an article, for
daily use by the majority of our citizens.
which is destructive of health, and the sure
precursor of an untimely death. 1t is time
that the evil were stopped. 1t is time that
liquor dealers were taught that they must
not traffic in human life-that they must not
coin money from disease, and misery, and
DEATH
Look at the record Of mortality. Fearful
is the number Of those who have fallen vic
tins to drinking-no such mortality could
exist if the liquors were pure; but they are
poison, and the whole country knows it, 1t
is time, we say, that the strong arm of the
law should be interposed to strike down
these secret murderers, these midnight assas
sins, who are speculating on the blight, and
wretchedness, and death of their fellow
creatures
Mr.. Fuler's bill, if our impressions of its
features are correct is the very thing to rem
edy the existing evil, and we hope that it
may pass.
