NKw RoAD-We learn that Nat. Brothers,
Road Overseer for Concow valley, is about to
open . new wagon road out OF the valley, by
which the Concow hill will be avoided. The
new road is surveyed around the side of the hill
dswn the East Branch and up Deadwood and
Spanish Rnvine to the Yankee Hill and
Frenchtown road. The old road over the hills
impracticable for heavy loads but the
new one i, on regular and easy grade, and
will afford the citizens of the valley an excellent
outlet for their pitch and agricultural produc
tions. II would seem that what the mining
interest failed to bring about the pitch business
has made necessity, viz: the opening OF good
roads 10 the mountains Great is Pitch, and
>TurPentine is its profit

readers that have received petition from
many citizens of Butte county asking me TO
lay the matter before the proper men, who
have power to assist and protect them. have
called upon the Governor and General Wright
and received promise from the latter that he
would order the company now stationed at
Chico. Butte county, to protect the people
against further Indian depredations in that
section"
MARROW EscAPE-As Mr. Rose. OF Roses
Station, was turning his team. from where
they had been hitched, on Saturday last, one
OF the lines gave way throwing him ftom the
seat and astride the outside trace Of the lead
horse, starting The wild Spanish team to full
speed, dragging him some twenty yards. The
wagon struck a corner post Of the public square
when the harness gave away, loosing the horses
from the wagon, and throwing Mr.. r. heavily
spon the ground and considerably ipjuripg him.
Several passengers claim to have experienced
. heavy shake as the wagon brought up
against the post, but fortunately reached terra
nrma in safety, in rather hasty and uucom-
Portable manner.
