seated upon the throne preparatory to the

then placed upon her head, and a sceptre in
her hand, accompanied by the following ap
propriate remarks:
. In accordance with the custom of Row
atty, it has been the practice to crown the
sovereign elect in the presence of her sub

The maids of honor, in graceful manner,
in turn received the hand of their Queen,
which closed the coronation ceremony.
A table was set in the grove, loaded with
many good things, such as the ladies of
Shasta know so well how to supply, and the
children never fail to appreciate. The occa

THINK OF IT.-In view of the fact that
Shasta and Ellsworth's Mill at the new dis
covery, are only about eight miles apart by
road that might be made. and fifteen by
existing roads, would it not be wise in Shas
tans to take immediate steps for building a
good and direct road to the new mines? As
there is already good road to Mulctown, an
extension of two miles only would have to be
surveyed and bpilt. The interests of onr
town demand that this he looked to at once,
else, as in the case of Copper City, Red Bluff
will reap the benefit of the trade

The Minister who Whipped his Child to Death.

We gave the other day a short account of child being whipped to death by its father, in New York State The Roches- ter Union of the 22d inst gives some addi- tional particulars of the horrible affair It says:
 "The account of the whipping to death of child three years old by its father, a clergyman, because it would not say it's prayers, near Medina, published yesterday, awakened the greatest indignation of our citizens against the inhuman father. The report was hardly credited, so unnatural and monstrous was the crime committed. We blush to say it, but the most sickening and dreadful part of unparalleled horror was not published. Lindley's Chats the minister's name) statement before the cor oner's jury, given yesterday, was corrobo- rated by other witnesses before the jury. The body of the child told more plainly and pathetically than words of the terrible punishment it had undergone. Several fingers were broken and blood had oozed from every pore. To conceal the crime the father had tied the little one's hands behind its back and placed it in its coffin. While the physicians were making a post mortem examination of the body, he sat by, lcooly looking at the proceedings Af ter while he spoke and asked if they had not carried this thing about far enough The physicians discovered no disease about the child it died solely from excessive and cruel punishment. The little one would have been three years old next August whipped to death because it would not say it's prayers We are told that Lindsley justified his work He thinks it was his duty to punish the child until his will was broken, and he obeyed. Lindsley was ar rested yesterday and committed to jail in Albion. It was with the utmost difficulty that the officers who had him in charge could keep the citizens of Medina and neighborhood from lynching the murderer on the spot Lindsley is man about five feet eight inches in night, we'll proportion ed has black whiskers and dark complex ion. He has the appearance of man oi violent temper. The murder is the all absorbing topic of Orleans county -[Av alanche.
