side, and causing health and happiness to the
whole sex; more especially TO the married
portion, as they are certain to bring on the
monthly period with regularity. And where
as, these Pills are purely vegetable and en-
tirely free from minerals therefore perfectly
harmless in their operations and wholly un-
like other medicines thrust upon the public,
purportng TO effect the objects already de-
tailed. Therefore, be it known, that nothing

be considered null ard void that is TO saw,

The Texas Border War Transferred 10
Yreka. &&

We are indebted to Mr.. Downer, telegraph
reporter, for the information that on Thursday
morning last, very serious fight occurred il
Yreka between party of Mexicans and y
town officers. 1t appears that about fftee
drunken Greasers were making night hdeo
with their drunken rejoicings over the explo
of Cartnas in Texas. Marshall Coryell requel
ed them to desist. Eight of the number at once
left. The remaining seven attacked him, cutting
him in four or five places; one serious wound
being in the left breast, one in the arm and ~
in the head.
Coryell held on to the Mexican who had cut
him until he was lodged in Jail. The Marshall
is doing very well under the circumstances; FIVE
of the Mexcans have been arrested.
The City Trustees have offered reward of
five hundred dollars for the arrest of the balance
of the party.
Marshall Croyell was at one time in eminent
danger, being thrown down by Mexican who
had knife drawn over him. He was rescued
by Geo. Walton, who knocked the fellow down
with pistol Policeman Turnbull then came
up and the Mexicans were lodged in all The
Marshall shot Spaniard, wounding hisAhadly.

neA- Senator Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, re-
Gently challenged B. G. Yancy, because of some
difficulty growing out of political discussion.
The affair was happily settled without hostile
r1eeting-precisely as all such affairs can and
should be honorably settled-and would be gen.
orally but for the safety of the seconds. If se-
conds were always expected to take fire at
each other, at the same time with their princi-
pals, there would be fewer hostile meetings. If
seconds would do their whole duty duel would
never be fought, except where an objectionable
or irreparable wrong had been committed. One
of the parties is always the commencer of the
difficulty. The initatory point must exist some-
where. 1t is the duty of the seconds to seek it
until found, and then right there commence ma
king the amend. The duello is bloody enough,
but it is too often made brutal by men ignorant
of its provisions and wholly unimbued with the
true, chivalric, do-no-wrong spirit which per-
vades it when interpreted by noble minded men,
who love their friends and seek to preserve their
lives

On next Thursday evening, at Charter Oak
Hall, the second Annual Ball of the Shasta LII
brary Association takes place. The Committee
of ARA ngements are making every preparation
to insure delightful time. The ladies are also
making such preparations as will win for the
affair the complimentary epithet Of brilliant"
On the evening following, Friday, the 23d inst.
the Grand Ball of Larry O'Connell Il Charley
Nivelles takes place in the Charter Oak Hail.
This ball will be largely attended, hence most
extensive preparations are being made. The

are determined to furnish supper such as is
seldom beheld except on Christmas times.

hostile meeting between him and late Hon. j.
Caleb Smith a rosary, composed of pink agate
beads, probably from the mother or female re-

New PRoGRAMME.-The New York Times con-
tains the following dispatch from Washington,
dated November goth:
Senator Nicolson reached here to-day, and
reported an interesting programme for the or
ganization Of the House. jeremiah Clemens
claims to be fully authorized to speak for the en-
tire Southern delegation, including H. Winter
Davis. If the Anti-Lecomptonites stand firm by
the Democracy, there will be no danger of the
Republicans taking the organization into their
hands, the South Americans, 10 a man, will
resist it. The South Americans will vote for q
Democratic Speaker and Clerk, provided the
Democrats will reciprocate by voting for Glenn
ems for Printer, with Democratic partner. SEN
ator Nicolson says that Clemens assures him that
such is the positive understanding with the
Southern Opposition. 1t is understood, also,
that the Anti-Lecomptonites will go into the
Democratic caucus, except, perhaps, Schwartz.
Haskin and Clarke have declared their intention
of doing so, and preventing a Republican or
ganization if possible.

A Hint to Farmers.
The following remarks upon the IS Of

The following remarks upon the IS of
winter irrigation for grain in this Sra.s, afsta-
ken from the California Cultur9st for November
Winter irrigation can be applied to any de-
scription of soils to great advantage. 1t is the
only irrigation that can properly be applied to
lands devoted TO the cereals, nor to such lands
is the mere quality of fertilization all the good
that results from winter irrigation. 1t is well
known, by the observant grain grower, that for
the last four years, nota sufciency of rain has
fallen, in very many localities, to amount to a
complete saturation. Mr.. Horner remarks that
it is the degree of saturaton that determines the
annual yield or productiveness ofhs grain fields;
that invariably, in the spring, after the usual
rains of the season are supposed to have ceased,
he carefully examines his ground by digging, to
ascertain just the depth to which the surface wa
ters have penetrated, and from this determines
with singular accuracy the length of time that
the imbibed moisture will sustain the crop in
its progress towards maturity; and he always
finds the deeper the saturation, the better the
crop. He has in corroboraton of this remark,
found by actual experiment, that wherever the
water from mountain stream is turned upon
grain lands in the autumn or winter, in addition
to the rains Of the season, that such lands inva
riably carry their crops further into summer, of
course with longer season for maturity and
consequently more abundant yield.

INDIcTMEsT FOR SooLDNG.-The indictment
against Mrs. Nancy Stevenson, of Anderson,
South Carolina, for being common scold was
qrashed by Judge Monroe. Mr. Speaker Orr
conducted the defense, and succeeded in con-
vincing the Court that the portion of the COM
mon law applicable to this offence was obsolete
in that State. So far as ascertained, this is the
third indictment of the kind that has ever been
preferred in the United States. We certainly
hope it will prove the last. The Anderson Ga
zette thinks the thanks of the ladies are due to
the ex-Speaker for his able defence of the lib
erty of speech. woman's tongue is her princi-
pie weapon of offense and defense, and, as Wash
ington Irving facetiously remarks, ssit is the
only edged tool that becomes sharper by constant
,eo

JEALoTsY AND SHooTlNG.-The Puget Sound
papers are filled with accounts of a recent case
of scandal that took place at Olympia, where a
certain +" Mr.. s, and "Mr. G" had a row about
the wife of the former. Mrs. S. wanted to buy
a sewing machine, but her lord and master
would not give her the necessary money to pay
for it. She therefore borrowed the amount from
Mr.. G. Thereupon Mr.. S. got jealous, armed
himself with shot gun, and sought out his
supposed rival. The latter armed himself with
pistol. They met in the highway, fred-boM
parties fell dead, apparently. Mr.. S., however,
soon arose, went to the autho.ities, and deliver
ed himself up as murderer. When he was
gone, Mr.. c. also rose, shook himself, and went
home. The whole affair seems mysterious alb
surdity, or an absurd mystery.

SINGULAR DELUsIoN.-The Paris correspond
ent of the London Star reports the following in
teresting intelligence:
"The death of the Cure d'Ars, at Lyons, has
caused the whole devout population of the En-
pire to hurry in crowds to his tomb. The Alb
be Lacordaire, who has remained with him for
several months, and promises the most Won
drous revelations concerning the passage from
life to death of the saint, whose canonization
already occupies the authorities of the church,
The miracles already wrought at the tomb OF
the Cure d'Ars exceed, if one may believe the
tale, both in quantity and quality, those once
enacted at the grave of Diacre Paris. The blind
are made to see, the lame made to walk, and
every human i'll is set al naught by prayer at
the stone which covers the remains of the Cure
d'Ars. The Empress, who personally declared
the birth of the Prince Imperial to be owing to
this holy mans intercession, is said to have been
in close correspondence with him during the
whole of the war. To show the fanaticism in
spired by the event of his death, the omnibus
service from Lyons to the village where he lived,
and which was started to drive straight to his
house. has been doubled since his death, and
drives nowhere but to the cemetery where his
corpse reposes. A nine days vigil is established
for the different conireres throughout France, in
order to facilitate the transmission of miracles
for the convenience of those who cannot make
the journey to Lyons"

SAD AND FATAL LACoIDENT.-Sheriff Follansbee
informs US of very sad accident that occurred
at Sands Flat, on Thursday, which resulted in
the death of a little boy Frank, SON of Thomas
Baker, Esq He was but two years ofage He
had been lost sight of not more than twenty
minutes before search was made for him. In
half an hour, he was found dead in a prospect
ing hole, where he had fallen and drowned.

DEATH TO BED BUGs.-The following remedy
is said to be infallibie. Take two pounds of
alum, bruise it, and reduce it nearly to powder
dissolve it in three quarts of boiling water let
ting it remain in warm place till the alum is
dissolved. The alum water is to be applied hot,
by means of a brush, to every joint and crevce.
Brush the creyices in the floor of the skirting-
board if they are suspected places whitewash
the ceiling, putting in plenty of alum, and there
will be an end to their dropping from thence.

Yes, We WLL.-The Mountain Messenger,
alluding to Mad. Biscaccianti, asks: "Won't
somebody oblge us by pronouncing that ere
woman's name ?" The correct pronunciation is
Bis-ka-shanty. Her husbands father, was a
manufacturer of biscuits in one of the small
towns on the Bay of Biscay, which he kept for
sale in small shanty-so that after a time his
place of business came to be known as the '.Bis-
cult Shanty," and the old man and his family to
be called the Biscuit-shanties," which after,
one of the old mans sons became crack sing
er, was ltalianized into Biscaccianti. Coming
over to the United States, and assuming to be
nobleman, he captivated a beautiful little Yam
kee girl who sung well, taught her to sing better
made her his wife, and.-she is now Mad Bis
cacciantf, pronounced Bis-ka-shanty.
