ARTHUR FRENou.-The Humbolt Times
says of Mr.. French who lost his life, at the
time Of the destruction of the steamer North
erner:
The beach has been traversed for dis
tance of fifteen miles every day since he was
lost. A melancholy gloom seems to settle
upon the officers, whenever his name is mem
toned; no wonder, for q nobler and better
man never walked ships deck. Poor French
His name should be handed down to posteri-
ty as an example of all that is brave and no.

but my life belongs to those passengers" was
his reply when told that he would lose his
life if he attempted to get his boat off His
eOnrse through life was squared by his con-
science, and he needs no compass to direct his
gloomy passage through the stormy pillows
of Pacics death strewn aisles. Arthur
French was from st. Johns New Brunswick,

He leaves wife and three children in San
Francisco to mourn his loss. May the acacia

INDIAN TROUBLES IN MENDocIRo.-We are
sorry to learn, says the Petaluma Journal
that the Indians have again become very
troublesome to the settlers of Mendocino
county. Mr.. White, a resident of Long Val.
ley, informs us that they have become SO bad
that the settlers have been compelled to or
ganize themselves into standing army, so
to speak, and by taking turns keep the stock
and homes under constant guard. For some
time previous to this being done, the Indians
had killed from 10 to Is head of stock night
ly. One gentleman alone, Mr. Woodman,
had lost 100 head of horses, IA of which were
found dead in canon not far from his place,
and upon the bodies of which the Indians
were having good feast. On the 10th of
December the settlers turned out, and at
tacking the enemy, succeeded in killing 92
and taking two prisoners. The United State:
