LovISG MURDER.-"In the year of grace
1793," says writer in Notes and Queries,
can aged peasant, whose cabin neighbored
my residence, lay IN egtremis, lovingly atten-
ded by his wife and daughter. The Christ
mas eve was nearing to its close, and they re
ligiously believed that should he Tass away
at its synchronism, with the Christmas morn
inc psFaal8e. fIis GRdtffeh Clock began to
strike twelve The wife took the 6o.ster
from under the dying mans head, and pressed
it down on his face; the daughter seated her
self on his breast, and their purpose was ac-
complished no secret being made of the deed
no wonder manifested-no notice taken.
Was this a murder? So far from possessing
murders primary ondition-malice-i was
done in all affection and piety The husband
band and father could not survive another
hour; moments quickened suffering would
secure to him $50 these simple women ina
gined) painless eternity. Can any body
tell me the origin of the superstl,iot which
bring to ones mind the more gentle inAu-
ence of Christmas tide, as described in Ham

A WISE SET. - We have heard OF wise
communities, but never have we seen sfcA
demonstration Of wisdom as has lately been
given by the good people of Sutter county.
On the proposition for subscribing $4,000 to
tho san Francisco and MaTysyille Railroad,
they voted NO" by an overwhelming ma
ioritv! Nicholas gave three votes for the
Railroad and one dndred and seven against
it; Cranmore two for aud and twenty four
against; Yuba City, tweuty-seven for and
one hundred and thirty against; Britten,
three for and thirty one against; Reams,
four for and eighteen against; Smiths Ferry,
none for and forty one against-and the bal
anee Of the county in the same ratio!
1t is supposed that the reason the people
voted SO strongly against the road was that
they were afraid the price of land would be
increased, and they wanted it 10 remain cheap,
SO that they could always afford to buy it,
should they chance, In the course Of time, to
enlarge any Of their farms also, that they
were afraid that the sparks from the locom'
olive would set fire to the grass, and thereby
destroy much nutriment for cattle and horses;
also that it would bring great many stran-
gers into the county, who would be for set
tliug up all the good land also that it would
raise the price of putty, and interfere gener
ally with the happiness and prosperity o
Sutter county.
Well. comment is needless.

greatly to an evenings entertainment Mr.
Boudnot's Don Pasquale was his finest effort

ANTECEUENTs OF TIE MURDERER.

Marshall Potter, the murderer, is known
to the criminal records of this country. In
1881 he WAS convicted If stealing the big OK
OF q W. Chamberlain, Esq, of Carmel, and
served out sentence therefor Of three years
IN the State Prison. Since that time he has
worked on Penoh'cot river as u lulnberman
more or less. Daring the past winter he
has not done much but hung round his
'nothor's house and stopped where he could.
HIS APPEARANCE AND FURTHER STATEMENTS.
Last evening Potter arrived in this city
by the Mattlwmnkeag stage in custody of
officer Bean, securely han1-cutled and chain
ed and Was committed to the Jail. He has
appeared more or less depressed since his
arrest and at the coroncr's inquest when he
alluded to his aged mother he shed tears
During the same confession he remarked
about the killing of the little 10y, his ne
phcw in order to make clean work, with u
smile on his face.
We visited the prisoner in his cell this
torenoon.and found him lying upon his couch
with his handkerchief over his face, and ap-
pcaIlng very much distressed and sobbing-
He Is five feet nine inches in height, with
retreating, bald forehead and blue eyes, and
with no marked features corresponding to
the atrocty OF his crime. His intellect ap-
pears to be Of a low order, and he does not
give clear acc unit of the transaction and
matters connected with it, He said he knew
that he had killed the family and must suf-
fer for it, and couG not ask for or expect
any mercy. He says he was born in Dex-
ter, that one OF his brothers was As years
Old and the other 80 years. He has sou
living Ii years old by wife who he says now
lives with another brother. He SAYS his wife
lived with the murdered brothers and had chill
dren by them but lie had no hardness against
them On that account. The boy whom he
killed was ii sou OF one Of his murdered ro-
thers by another woman. The account Of
the domestic affairs Of the family indicates a
loose and heathcnlsh condition of society,"
lie Says he is not a hard drinking man
thinks he was somewhat under the influence
of liquor when he committed the deed, and
cannot tell what induced him to its commits
sion- that he did not think OF the robbery
till after the murders. He thinks the idea
of safety induced him to go into the Prov
inces. lie says he has slept but little since
the transaction, that his mind is somewhat
confused and fatigued and hopes to get it
better regulated soon.
