HoS. JONI WHITE.-This gentleman anthor-
ICES us to state that he is candidate for e-eIec-
ton to the Assembly. Mr.. Whites record du-
ring the last session is a very fair one. With
perhaps one or two exceptions we believe his
labors in the late Legislature reflected the SEN
timents of majority of his constituents. For
his votes and actions therein he is entitled to
their thanks. Mr.. White viii probably give the
various precincts visit this summer and cult
vate more extensive acquaintance than cir
cumstaaces enabled him to do in the last cam
paign.-Shdsta Herald.
We endorse the above from our contemporary.
All citizens will admit that Mr. White made a
lsost unexceptionable record last winter.
We are informed, however, that Mr.. White
will not be permitted to walk over the course
again without opposition. We are assured that
there will be an unusual number of contestants
this season for Legislative honors. Among the
names we have heard mention made of in this
connection, in addition to that of Mr.. White,
are those of James R. Keen, Esq, of Melville,
and Homer A. Curtiss and Dr. DeShields, of
Shasta. Doubtless, ere the fight wakes to
close, other gentlemen will have entered for the
stakes. Thus far, as will be observed, our citi-
zens have good collection of material to
choose from.
The Shasta courier. [volume] (Shasta, Calif.) 1852-1872, 1860-05-19

THEATRICAL PosrPoNEMEST.-Owingt to an ac-
cdent at Red Bluff-the seats having broken
down on the night of the performance at that
place-Mr. Stark and troupe will not appear here
antil next Monday evening" when he will posi-
lively open the Shasta Theatre for a limited
number Of nights, with Schillers grand and
thrilling tragedy of The Robbers of the Forest
of Bohemia"
We have long recognized James Stark as one
the greatest of living actors PROFESSIONALLY
he has no equal on the Pacific boards At this
time he is supported by full and talented COM
peny, and our citizens may justly expect the
pleasure witnessing frstrate histrionic efforts.
The man or woman who can witness Stark rem
dition of the character of Charles de Moor with
out according to him the need of greatness as
an actor, has no true idea of what histrionc
greatness consists Go and see him. See ad-
yertis enYert

SPORTING NEws.-We are glad to announce to
our friends that the races over the Tehama
Course will be more brilliant and exciting du-
ing the May term, than ever before, not except
ing the times when Humming Bird, Paddy, and
Sim Oldham's mare ran. The greatest four
mile horse in California (Langford) will be on
the ground, and also Susie Hawkins, and prob
ably Bonnie Bell and number of fast nays
And what is MORE ample accommodations are
being made for all who may attend.-Red Bluff
Beacon
The Shasta courier. [volume] (Shasta, Calif.) 1852-1872, 1860-05-19

The NUMBER 60.-This is a number ominous
of evil to the Black Republican party. Sixty
names were appended to the accommodation
of Helpers book-among them that of Seward.
Sixty Republicans in Congress voted for Blake
resolution COPIED on our first page)-among
them that of Sherman, the man whom the Black
Republicans so long supported for the second, or
at least the third highest position in the Gov
ernment The acts of these sixty Republicans,
says the Plumas Standard, will go far towards
sealing the doom of the Republican party in
eighteen hundred and Srty by runous de-
feat.

THAT PIPE.-A few days since We received a
lhrge box marked, This side up with Care"
I" To be kept Dry Of course opened it with
considerable eagernessr supposng that it con-
tanned a vast amount Of something good to eat
or drink. Weih we were sold, and very cheaply.
Instead of pound cake and bottles of cham
payne, huge pipe, in the rough, mere-sham
weighing about ten pounds, manufactured by
limb, met our astonished and indignant gaze
However, its all right Well consider it "pipe
of peace" We forgive our vendor, but if we
don't get even dog-on our buttons. We forgive
you Fisher, like q christian, bat we owe you

one sure.

The TEHAMA HoUsE.-In another column will
be found the advertisement of this favoritc hotel
kept by our friend Ayres, justly one of the most
popular of the Bonnifaces" of the Valley. He
has made arrangements for the accommodation
of large number of persons, who are expected
to be present al 5he races which commence on
18th inst. As will be observed, by paragraph
copied from the Beacon, most of the horses that
were at the Marysville races, are expected to be
present at Tehama.
The Shasta courier. [volume] (Shasta, Calif.) 1852-1872, 1860-05-19

STAGE ROAD TO YREKA.-We are informed
that the stockholders of the Shasta and Yreka
Turnpike Company have given their road to the
California Stage Company, upon the condition
that the company at once proceed to finish it
across Scott Mountain and widen the present
road over Trinity Mountain. The company ex-
pect to complete the entire work by August.
when stages and loaded wagons will be enabled
to go clean through from this place to Yreka,
and thence on into Oregon

CENSUS TAKER FOR SHASTA CoUNrY.-United
States Marshal Solomon has appointed John
Hale, of this place, Deputy Marshal for this
county. Mr.. Hale will commence taking the
census about the first of next month 1t is un-
necessary for US to state that the appointee is
admirably fitted for the position.

SHASTA COURIER.
Churntown Creek Quartz Lead.

Messrs. French L Co. discovered lead of dis
solved quartz on Churn Greek last winter,which
has since proven remarkably rich in gold. Thus
far the lead has not been followed TO greater
depth than seven feet, the proprietors having
been engaged principally in sluicing off the top
The presence Of too great an abundance of wa
ter is the caase OF their not following the lead to
a greater depth at this time In few weeks
they expect to be free from this obstruction
We are informed that the quartz proved richer
at depth of seven feet than at the top, the
finest prospects having teen obtained at that
depth.
Some pieces yielding an ounce TO the pound
were taken out. The first days crushing in a
hand mortar yielded 10 ounces. The average
thereafter was from 10 to II ounces per day
The lead thus far has averaged a width of from
six inches 20 two feet The proprietors are fol-
~ persuaded that they have struck their for
tones. We trust so.

GoYE.-Simonton, the slanderer and libeller
of the bulletin, has gone East. His eternal alb
sence will be CALIFORNIA; everlasting gain. SEN
ator Edgerton's unparalleled philippe was too
much for him. Its lightning" penetrated even
his rhinoceros hide.

Still They CoMs.-Six hundred dirty nasty

RAiS.-We had a copiogs rain on yesterday.
For several days the weather has had very
fall-ish appearance. Indeed we cannot re-
member that we have had so cold a May since
az the present one has proven thus far.

Sharp Parctice.


We have frequently heard of Sharp Prac-
tees played off by lawyers on clients but
never before knew of 4 case where the lawyer
was so completely the victim of the client, as in
an instance which recently occurred at Red
Bluff
As we are friends to both parties, and as the
trick was played off for the mere fun of the
thing-it having been made " all right since by
cent-and as it is altogether too good to be lost,
we make it public.
1t appears that Ergene Id having be-
come involved pecuniarily, determined to avail
himself OF the benefits of the Insolvent Law. To
this end he applied to Joseph Chs, Esq., to
"put him through" which he agreed to do for
the small sum of 500, to be paid Immediately
after decree of insolvency was granted.
Counsel at once prepared the papers in "shp
shape"-and had just concluded the schedule
of clients liabilities, when friend of client,
previously posted, called counsel out to drink
when client, himself writing tolerably good
hand, avaled himself of the lawyers absence to
write at the bottom of the schedule, Joseph
Chs, for legal services rendered in obtaining
decree of insolvency, $780, On return OF
counsel, he proceeded very summarily to finish
the business, and with the interpoated item
unobseryed, handed the papers into Court. The
prayer of petitioner was granted, and all the
creditors named in the schedule of course "went
up the hume."
The next morning, on applying to client Tor
his fee, counsel was invited to visit the Clerks
office and examine clients schedule, which he
did, and thereupon was made speeches. with
amazement by the paipable evidence of the as
founding fact that he had been made the hap
less victim of the coolest and most unequalled
piece of " sharp practice ever played off on
mortal man or LAWYER
