HOME OCCURRENCES.
T o w n .

king highway robbery punishable with death.
We believe that such a law should exist that
when the highwayman does not scruple to take
life in order to defraud another of his property,
he should suffer the same punishment as the muir
derer. The man whose heart is sufficiently
steeled to wrong to stop the traveller on the
highway and demand bis money or life," is not
a whit better in the eyes of the law than the
murderer. There is one dsagreeable conclusion
to be drawn from the passage of such law,
however Heretofore robbers have in many in
stances been lenient enough to merely stop their
victims long enough to obtain their vauables ;
with the existence of such law we fear the land
pirate would be less generous, aud murder his
man to avoid future recognition.
DANCING ScuooL.-Mr. Alex. Eddy, of Shasta,
late of San Francisco, gives notice that on Mon
day evening next he will meet all persons desi-
rous of receiving instruction in Dancing at Fagg's
Hall. Mr.. Eddy is represented by those acquain-
ted with him, to be proficient in the tcrpsicho-
rean art, aud those wishing instruction should be
at the place appointed on Monday night, and
signify their intention to attend Mr.. Eddy's class
Don't forget that Monday night, Jan. 3D. is the
appointed time, and that Mr.. Eddy will he here
at that time for no other purpose than forming a
will probably be offered the present winter.
PRovoKNGLY CooL.-lnquistive people get
badly taken down, sometimes. Only few nights
ago an inebriated individual tilted from the side
walk into clump of bushes just in front of the
County Hospital The night was cold, the hour
late, and the tpsy mans boots hanging over
puddle of water, nearly frozen. He was discov-
cred by two passers-by, who good Samaritan like
proposed TO care for him, and accordingly after
shaking him soundly, requested him to get up
and move about little. The fellow couldn't
raise his head, but turning it slightly, muttered
--"F I've paid my lodging it's none Of your Id
business if do freeze!' His sympathizers left,
directly.
THE DEAD OF A YEAR.-By reference to our
files for the year ending day, we find that the
number of burials in the two dead places of the
village do not reach twenty. THIS speaks we'll
for the health of our locality less than two
deaths per month, counting those who die by ac-
cident. The number is small in proportion to
our population. The graves of the dead of eight
years lie unprotected, except in few instances.
The burying-place should be fenced, and each
grave appropriately marked for future reference.
The fence should be built for very good rca-
son--to prevent the greasy, gray-eyed Chinese
from placing their countrymen side by side with
the dead of Christian lands
MORE BuILpINGs.-Mr. Wm. Brown has com
pleted his blacksmith shop at the intersection of
Oregon and Main streets. Mr.. Brown came here
lately from Horsetown, Shasta county, and is re-
puted to be an excellent workman.
Wm Todd is putting up two building for Chi
na tenants on his lot adjoining Schiller Hall, for
Inv I hIill lpt
on the east side of Main street. from Court street
to the residence of Mrs. Il. T. Edwards is now oc.
cupied
RoADs.-The subject has grown stale, but the
highway leading to town, we are compelled to
say, is in a deplorable condition The Office of
road overseer is of more Importance than is ac
know lodged. We have no desire to undervalue
the fitness of the present incumbent for the posi-
tioa but it does seem to everybody that the
road leading into town ought to be repaired.
There may be one good reason why ii is not done
the fact that road tax cannot be collected just
now.
JUDGING FROM APPEARANCEs.-A stranger in
the place remarked that one thing more than all
the rest was worthy of notice and gave evidence
of the advancement of our town beyond most
Others He referred to the neatly enclosed bur
ial place on the hillside. He was not aware,
that it was private enterprise-the property of
the Masonic Order, and that the public cemete-
ry near by, although tenanted by scores ol those
who have been called away during eight years,
is entirely neglected. There should be public
spirit enough amongst our citizens to ience IN
the burying ground.
