Sir: In sending Col. Lewis in the steamer
bound for Red Bluff tomorrow, with ll3 rifles
and some ammunition, to aid the Sheriff of
Shasta county in maintaining the laws of the
State, which have been resisted by organized
companies, | have instructed him in regard to
landing the arms at Red Bluff in the event an
effort should be made by the rioters or their
sympathizers to intercept them. He will explain.
If you can properly direct the Captain of the
boat to carry out my wishes, will be obliged.
As there is no fund out of which to pay the
freight on these arms, trust you will await an
appropriation of the Legislature.

SCHNAPPS.

A MEDICINAL DRINK, of eminently salutary
II qualities, manufactured by himself exclu-
siyeIy, at his factory at Schiedam, in Holland,
and well known during the last twelve years
throughout all the Atlantic and Western States.
1t is made from the best barley that can be
selected in Europe, with the essence OF an aro-
matte Italian berry, of acknowledged and ez-
traordinary medicinal properties. 1t has long
since acquired higher reputation, both in Eu-
rope and America, than any other diuretic bev-
erage.
knsiyzed, it is perfectly pure liquor, in its
effects a mild and wholesome tonic. 1t IS ex-
tensively used and approved by the medical fac
ulty, the temperance people, heads of families,
&c.
In Gravel, Gout and Rheumatism, in obstruc-
tions of the Bladder and Kidneys, and in Gen
eral Debility, its effects are prompt decided and
invariably reliable and it is not only remedy
for these maladies, but in all cases where they
are produced by drinking bad water, which is
almost universally the cause of them, it acts as
a sure prerentiue.
For Fever and Ague it is one of the most eff
ficaciOuS Dreyentiyes that can he reSOrted to.

TERRIBLE RETRIBUTIoY.-The Milwaukee Sen
tuael says that recently, the treasurer of the
town of Erin, Washington county, whose name,
we believe, was Whaling, was shot dead while
attempting to rob his own house. It appears
that he had collected some twelve or fifteen hun
dred dollars of the town taxes and left home in
the afternoon, telling his wife that he should be
gone all night. Toward evening, travelling
pedlar applied at the house for nights lodg-
ing. The wife at first refused to admit him, but
finally yielded, with much reluctance, to his re-
quest. Some time in the night, the pedlar was
awakened by the noise of men breaking into his
room. Taking them for robbers, he drew pis-
tol and fred at them. One fell, and two fled.
Lights being procured, the dead body of man,
with blackened face, and otherwise disguised
was found on the floor. Upon further examina-
ton, it proved to be the proprietor of the house
himself who had resorted to this stratagem to
steal the tax money collected, and had met with
this terrible retrbutiou.

The Term " Cuss.o

The following article upon this interesting
topic, is from the Coloma Times:
The word "cussD has of late, we know not
wherefore, grown rapidly into favor with Cali
fornia editors. The variety of connections in
which it is made to do duty is indeed marvel
lous But, universal as its use now is, johnson
knew it not, or any other photographer that we
wot of, in al the Unabridged Dictionary of
Webster there is no such word as "cuss"-how-
belt the newspapers, right and left, are cuss-ing
most vigorously, not to say profanely, on every
conceivable subject. 1fa good natured individ-
ual invites an editor to imbibe, he is forthwith
written down generous cuss"-if one offends
him, he is an ''ugly cuss"-he who refuses to sub
scribe for the paper, and regularly steals his
neighbor's copy, is a " mean cuss"-the individ-
ual of the Aminidab Sleek type, is religious
cuss," if a subscribers otherwise, "hypocriti-
cal cuss"-the orator, whose honied words draw
the crowd about him, even as molasses cask
attracts the flies, is eloquent cuss"-from
the sentimental youth, who lightly touches the
guitar under his mistress window to the Dig
ger, taking first lesson on a Jewsharp, all who
play on instruments are "musical cusses"-
There is no discussion of politics in which the
" Lecompton cuss" and the Anti-Lecompton
cuss" do not take part-he who is formal in his
department is a" dignifed cuss'-the physician
is a medical cuss'-the lawyer illegal cuss7
the falsifyer 'lying cuss"-the pilferer a
" thieving cuss" There is no longer any man,
of any rank condition in life, who is not
"cuss" of some sort" The Merry Andrew of
the ring is I" funny cuss," and the despairng
lover melancholy cuss"-the cripple is a
" lame cRss," the Adonis handsome cuss."-
In short they are ALL all" cusses." When we
think of the authors of past ages, who must
have experienced no end of inconvenience from
the poverty of the English language, before it
was enriched with this useful and elegant word,
we cannot but regard them as extremely unfor-
tunate cusses.

AN INCIDENT OF THE SKATING SEAsoy-Among
the "reminiscences of the last Skating Carnival,
one of the most refreshing is the story of de-
licious and crispy bit of GOODNESS to which the
newborn fashion gave rise. The story goes
that young man well known in downtown
circles, taking advantage of dull afternoon,
promises himself fine season of skating: and
to enhance his pleasure, decides upon the Fair
Ground as his field, and also dispatches polite
invitation to young lady friend to be his COM
panion in the graceful pastime. Gladdened by
an acceptance of his invitation, the youth meets
his Ladye Fayre at an appointed rendezvous
which, by h,r selection, is store on Washing
ton street well known to thousands who have
there this season purchased excellent skates
The lady is punctual to the appointment, but to
an inquiry if she ready, she informed the
young gent in the sweetest of tones sha.. s.s
would gladly most gladly, be his companion
but, alas ! she had no skates. The answer of
"pray select pair" was as ready as the utmost
gallantry could require, and the shopman ac-
cording displayed fine pair of seven dollar and
a half articles, and was rewarded only by high
bred stare of astonshment on the part of the
lady, and the curt inquiry, +" Have you no better
ones u Certainly, madam said the obliging
salesman, as ne unrolled pair of tacenly-fre
dollar runners and laid them upon the counter
I" Ali those will answer nicely; L will keep
these, would you not?' said she, with glance
at her once happy but now dumfounded friend
By-by all means," came futtering forth from
the young gent, as with an odd grimace the
money was planked, and the twain left for their
sport. Even for the season, this bit of cooness
was certainly markable.-B0ston Journal
