in the street at Folsom, last Sunday night,
from the effects of Croton oil, administered BY
parties in Folsom The Sacramento Union

several weeks past bad been absteminous. and
was employed by c. Hamilton, Of the Bank
Exchange, asassstant at the cigar stand, bar
etc. On Saturday last be left the city for
Marysville, as Hamilton supposed, being par
italy under the influence of liquor. Instead of
going to Marysville be went to Folsom, and on
Sunday somebody at one Of the saloons in that
place gave him a dose of Croton OIL Others
shaved of the moustache and beard from one
side of his face; others cut and tore his clothes
for their amusement. etc. In consequence of
this treatment he died. Such, at least are the
current minors connected with the case. They
may be literally true. or the real facts may be
greatly exaggerated. \ thorough iuvestiga-
ton should be had, and the guilty parties pun
ished. The deceased was the son of an eminent

MAJOR BIDwELL's ROAD TO HUMBoLDr.-
The citizens of East Chico township are circu.
lating, for signatures, a remonstrance against
the petition to the Legislature Of certain par.
ties in Chico, asking that law be enacted
taxing the people Of Chico township, to build
or finish the road known as Major Bidwelrs
road to Humboldt" The following is copy
Of the reIhonstrance
10 the Honorable ne Senate and House Of As-
sembiy Of the State Of California:
Whereas petition is in circulation by Ger.
tain parties, directly and Immediately interest
ed. asking of your Houses to enact a law tax
ing the people of Chico township, Butte CO.,
State Of California, for the purpose of raising
money to build or finish road to Honey Lake,
commenced by private individuals for personal
advantages, and who now seek to tax the peo-
pie to complete road of no direct advantage
to the citizens OF Chico township at large, We.
citizens of Chico Township, therefore remon-
STRANGE
First. For the reason that we have already
a good wagon road, ria Dogtown aud Humbug
Valley, to Honey Lake.
Second. For the reason that the tax of
three-fourths Of one per cent petitioned for, to
be assessed on the property of Chico township,
Is onerous and oppressive, amounting in round
numbers to the sum of ten thousand dollars per
annum.
Third. For the reason that if the prayer Of
the petitioners is favorably answered. and the
enormous tax is levied, collected and dsbursed
as proposed on the road from Chico to Honey
Lake, the people of the south eastern half of
the township will be in nowise benefited, hav,
ing already good road to the terminus propo-
sed in said petition.
Fourth Further, we ask and pray, as a
matter of justice, in case your honors should
grant the prayers of the petitioners that one
half of the funds raised by the tax petitioned
for should be appropriated to the Improvement
and keeping in repair Of the road known as the
Dogtown Road.
Fifth. We further ask aud pray. that in
case Your Honors should grant the prayer of
the petitioners that the question of taxation
shall be submitted to vote of the people of
Chico township.
