The election 10 this county, on Wednesday

three fourths of the voters going to the polls.
In this place no crowd gathered around the
polls, apparently every one voting passed Oh to

could scarcely be discovered as it was pro

September last was 2.36l, and judging from
the returns, as far as we have received them,

this patient about ten days prior to the election
of the lizard. His every appearance denoted

which was rejected bv the stomach. when the
lizard came FORTH as can be seen at Cotton &

from the fact that Mr. Merrili's attention was
called to it before it was thrown entirely from

peculiar expression of the countenance at the
time, and the calling out in vehement manner.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY NEAR MARYsyILLE- On
Thursday morning last, Oct. 18th, one of the
most terrible tragedies ever recorded in this
State was enacted in Linda township, Yuba
county, about seven miles east of Marysville,
resulting in the instant death of one, and the
probably mortal woundirg of two other persons.
1t appears that Miss Virginia Barner was
at the house of neighbor named Peter Shaffer,
on Wednesday evening, aud volunteered to ride
out in field after the cows; she was met 10
the field by man on horseback, AMI after a
short time returned without the cows. Being
Intercepted as to who the man was who met
her, she replied, ALFRED Hacker" Shaffer
expressed doubt of this saying, Il know who
it vast was Inflow" Miss Barrier appears
TO have taken offence at this, and said she
would tell her father, end that Shatfer would
have to take it back : accordingly she
mounted horse and rode TO her fathers and
induced him to go to Shaffers, and father and
daughter said there over night. Early Thurs
day morning, Barrier went to Inlow's and got
him to go with him to ShaffeG's When there,
Shaffer asked Inflow if ii was not him who met
Miss Barner in the field; he replied, "it was
not" Shaffer then said he would take 1t back
ank ask the girls pardon Barner then said
to Shaffer, IF you insult my daughter that
way again, will make you eat the dust
Upon this other words followed, the parties
rose to their feet and commenced striking each
other with their fists. Barner hit Shaffer a
heavy blow on the head, when Shaffer seized
carbine and Barner drew revolver, and they
fred upon each other at the same instant,
Barner firing five shots in rapid succession.
Shaffer fell to the floor and died, and an exam
ination showed that four balls had entered his
body The carbine in the hands of Shaffer
was loaded with three balls, all of which struck
Barrier near the pit of the stomach and passed
out at the right side of the back be was not
expected TO live through Thursday night
During the shooting, a son of Mr. Shatfer,
about twelve years old, took refuge in the rear
Of the stove, where'a ball from Banners pistol
struck him in the neck, inicting a serious if
not mortal wound. These are the main facts

SPECIAL NOTICES..

MEDICAL ADvIcE.-Dr. Vim. X. Doherty's Med
ical and Surgical Institute is becoming sine qua
non to the welfare of our State and health of our
citizens; and his rapidly spreading reputation, al
though it may excite surprise is but the signal of
skill, and follows as the natural effect of such q
cause. We are personally acquainted with gentle.
men who had suffered for years under chronic dis
ease, and who had taken advantage Of every
available means that promised relief, but without
success. until they called upon Dr. Doherty, who
them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to announce
this fact. because the Doctor is gentleman who
seeks not by defamation of Others to establish his
reputation, or to rear the superstructure of his
own upon the rule of another's fame. The Doctor
conducts his Institute in such manner that must
be gratifying to all his patients He examines.
advises, and recommends without charge, and the
patient, after hearing his terms for treatment can
accept or reject at pleasure. In no case does the
Doctor make charge unless he effects cure.
This he is able to do because he feels the conf
dence which long experience has given, and no
doubt the consolation which appertains to that
confidence. Persons afflicted with either acute or
chronic diseases, would DO well to consult the Doc
tor; at all events, il do no HARM as for consul.

ence to his advice unless the patient places himself
under his care. His offices are on Sacramento
