ANOTHER DECAPITATION
Almost tragedy was performed on Tuesd y
| during the session ol the 30 trd Of supervisors.
| ThexsuDject of excitement WAS the removal oil /.
| Mckay, who has been for Il long time walchmal
OF the Pavlion-pay 500 per month The
| charge against Mcka! is that he is II sccessionist
As the armories OF our military companies are
located in the Pavilion he was thought not Il
| lit person TO have charge o! them. Geh. hrgh
| and Gen Kibbe, also refused to supply turlhci
arms so long as Mckay held the keys. The ma
| jorty of the Board therefore resolved to remove
| him. When the motion WAS made TO go into III
| election President Shalluck declaled tn, SAINT
out o order. AnappeIl from this decision wa'
against the President Shatluck relu sed TO pu

done by Supervisor Hill. an carried. President
ShLtIuci is an old politician and all that silpri'

more phlosophcIlly when he is sensible OF being

GREAT SELL.
The sensation article originating in the 5. +
cal that the scccssonisis had large quantity
OF powder stored in this city. (ior amy emergency
which light arise) has exploded the stoy. moi
the powder. 1t is funny 10 think how easily peo
pie are fooled. What earth would 10 kegs U
| powder amount 10 in case OF open h,sti liies il
this State? How long would that amount supply
an army with two or three batteries of artillery
| TAKEN BY STORM
| Sacramento has been taken. not by secession
lists. but by MorrisOns Stereo-come. Vtpe Ia
hainbug. Morrison is isreceiving daily about S40t
at the Metropolitan Theatcr. His views OF Ma
gra Falls ETC.. are sweetened bya few "magni
cent gitts,' at which the whole town seem pas
sionatey enamored. Morrison understands the
science OF advertising and pays the prin'e in
advance for his big posters" and 'streamers' y
He knows how Barnum made his clock capital.
