DEATH PIoNEER.-It is with feelings of
the deepest regret that we to-day announce the
sudden death of l.. II. Tower, late of the Tower
House, Shasta county. He died in San Francis
co on the 1+th, having gone thither two
weeks ago to seek medical relief for a complaint
not believed to be dangerous, and which his
friends little thought would soon prove fatal.
Mr.. Coombs, of the Weayerville and Shasta Stage,
brought the unwelcome announcement Wednes-
day night, and informs US that the scene at the
Tower House on the receipt of the sad news by
his relatives and friends was painful in the ex-
treme, coming so unexpectedly.
Mr.. Tower was a native of Massachusetts, and
about As years old. He left Boston in Deem
ber, ls4s, on the ship Ed,card Erereu fitted out
for California by company of which himself
and J. E. Church. Esq, of Red Bluff. were men,
hers. He became owner of the Tower House
property, at the junction of the Shasta, Yreka
and Weaverville roads, in 1850, where he has re-
sided most of the time for Is years. Noman in
Northern California was more extensively known
or had more warm friends. The announcement
of his sudden death will send chill to many
hearts. Peace to the ashes of the pioneer who
will be long remembered for his noble and gen.
erous deeds.

WoRMERs STEREoscoPTIcoX. - During three
evenings of the present week our citizens have
had opportunity of witnessing this very wor-
thy and attractive entertainment. 1t is-one of
the shows which everybody can visit. 4
choice selection of views, numbering in all some
four hundred. are. by the aid of the new mague-
SUM light, brought out in all their beauty and
truthfulness. The views comprise statuary
views by land and sea, and Of persons and places
war scenes, etc. The continued unpleasant
weather of the present week has kept many at
home who would otherwise have visited the ex-
hbition. vet the attendance has been very good
1t is rational and instructive entertainment
and one we can cheerfuly recommend worthy
of patronage. The Stereoscopticon will be
opened to the citizens of Junction City on Satur-
day and Sunday evenings, and at Douglas City
sometime during the coming week. Mr.. " ormer
has been strongly solicited to give another enter
tainment in Weaverville on his return from the
river, should the weather prove propitious, which
we hone he will do in order that all may have
an opportunity of Witnessing an exhibition which
is deserving of patronage, and which is afforded
at a price within the reach of all-hfty cents for
adults-chidren half price. We advise the cit
liens of Junction and Douglas to see it without
fail and :: don't leave the little ones at home"

WnTz HANGED.-It is announced by telegraph
that Writ, the Andersonvillc prson-fend, was
hung at Washington between ten and eleven o.
clock on the morning of Friday, November 10th.
In the face of volumes of unimpeachable testi-
mony going to show his damnable brutality and
lust for human life, the infamous man persisted
in declaring his innocence on the gallows. The
dispatch says the execution occupied the public
mind TO a much greater degree than did the hang
inq of the conspirators And well it might, for
Wirtz' fame has gone to the world as the heart
less cold-blooded murderer of thousands poor,
imprisoned, emaciated beings, totally helpless,
were the victims of the Andersonyille demon
The requirements of the law are met in his case
with the death penalty, but the requirements of
stern and honest Justice would have insisted on
life for life for each of the twelve thousand mur
dered heroes who sleep at Andersonville if Wirtz
had been the possessor of as many. Let his name
and memory 90 down to oblivion, only to be mcn-
toned when examples of the backest and most
fiendish nature are required. His was only fair
specimen of the " humanity" which character
lied the Shareholders Rebelion-he perhaps
exceptional type of the q civilization which
batled for the longer existence of an institution
devoid of one single good feature His remains
were fittingly disposed of-deposited by order of
the President beside those of the accomplices of
Booth in assassination. There let them await
final and retrihutve Judgment
DECIDED IMPRovEMENr.-IIarryB Bachelor, new
road overseer, and Mitchell, have been as busy
as the elements would permit the past week
The dangerous sink-hoe at the corner of Todd S
ranch has been filled up and good drain con-
structed which will carry off the water hereafter
thus rendering that point pa5sable in safety for
loaded teams, which it has not been for months.
The road has also been much improved in TIE
vicinity of town, which are glad to see the
people notice and give the new overseer credit
for. The fumc across the road at Peterson
garden has been taken out and the road lowered
to an easy grade. We notice that in excavating
at that point n considerable quantity of dirt
which got in the overscer's way was tossed to
the sidewalk, and filled up what was a nasty-I
hole in damp times. Just here we might mention
that the south end people donated sufficient
means to have the long sidewalk repaired, and
that now it is almost impossible to find break
neck place ts whole length, where a week ago
it easy matter.
