THAT HAT.-Passing by certain saloon
on Washington street near Montgomery, our
attention was attracted by asingular looking
object within suspended by piece Of hemp
(suggestive) which in the simplicity of eur
nature, we imagined was either part of
some guerrilla chieftain the proprietor had
captured, or else the invention of some
shrewd Yankee to be used among the farm
ers of California as a scare cror, but upon
inspection we found u had served the useful
purpose of a covering for huge Gasometer
being labelled as specimen Of Siskiyou
county Democratic hat, worn by the Hon. j.
X. Luttrell The only object TO be gained
by the honorable gentleman in presenting
his . old hat for exhibition must be either
to acquire little cheap notoriety, or else to
convince the public that he deems it neces-
sary to sport a tile resembling the wearer in
one very important particular, that is in
being larger at the mouth than at the top.
unless we account for it on the hypothesis
that this aspiring, would be chieftain of the
Copperocracy of the North wishes to impress
his faithful brethern in San Francisco with
the fact that to insure success, they mus
follow his example in wearing very large
hat to conceal the very small amount o.
brains underneath, especially when they
wish to perform what is termed in Siskiyou
| Hypo, ,ntgger-bore- en-, known in this latitude
as the great equestrian feat of riding two
horses at one and the same time. Oh, shade:
of chivalryl has Democracy sank so low
that its champions are compelled to resort to
such tricks to attract public attentions ?
In the classic language of the Honorable
himself, No more such conduct as those,
Mr.. Luttrell to gull the people with. or thu
sensible portion of the Honorable Body to
which you belong, may deem it necessary tC
appoint Special Committee to ascertain
whether mistake was not committed IL
having your credentials made out for Sacra
mento instead of Stockton, or else, whether
the Sheriff who brought you and the China
man down from the county of Siskiyou, did
not commit an error in leaving you at the
State Capital instead of taking you to more
appropriate destination-the State Insane
Asylum.-Flag.

Obstructing the Public Roads.

We hear great complaints among the tray.
cling public, against tie repeated, persistent
violations of the road law Of this county
bitches, canals, and all kinds of break-neck
excavations are cut across the public roads
and left unbridged, just as if any one who
pleases had the right to destroy the county
roads, and thereby imperil the lives of those
who travel them. Road Overseers will do
well to read the subioined section, taken from
the road law of this county, passed in 1868:
Sec H. Any person or persons, company.
or corporation, who shall obstruct any pub
lie highway. either by placing an obstruction
therein. or by digging a canal or ditch, or
deepening the waters of any stream, and
not bridge the same the full width of the
road within twelve hours, or sooner, 1t pos
sible, by placing good and substantial tim
bers across the same. not exceeding SIX feet
apart, and planking the same with plank,
not less than three inches in thickness. un-
less permission shall have been granted by
the Road Overseer of the District to build
the bridge of less size, but in no case to be
less than sixteen feet in width. or shall neg
ect or refuse to keep such bridge across such
ditch. canal, or stream, in good repair, shall
be liable to prosecution for misdemeanor
and it shall be the duty of the Road Over
seer of the District to prosecute for such of
fence on behalf of the county and the party
offending. on conviction, shall be liable to a
fine Of not less than ten nor more than two
hundred dollars, with costs of suit, to be col
ected as other fines and he or they shall be
further liable, at the suit of the Road Over
seer of the District, in the sum of five dol
lars for each day such distractions remain
after being notified to remove or remedy the
same; and whenever any public highway is
injured by the breaking of any water ditch,
or canal, the owners thereof shall be liable
for all damages occasioned to said road by
said breaking and it is made the duty of
the Road Overseer in said District to prose-
cute said owners for all such damages; and
all moneys collected under the provisions of
this section shall be paid into the Road
Fund of said District where such obstruction
has been placed.

After the Storm.

Though the latter days of the week have
been little moist, mirky, and sometimes
rainy. we incline to the belief that the storm
of the season has passed. Yes, we rather
guess we have had it that it is numbered
among the things that were-gone into his
tory. Thinking thus we congratulate our
readers on the prospect Of prolific spring
and summer. The grain crop cannot but
be good, the gold crop is being harvested
from the placers and quartz lodes to an ex
tent far beyoud our most sanguine expecta-
tions. Those who choose to work have now
the opportunity nor need to wait for some
one to employ them. They have but to take
pick, shovel and pan. irritate and wash the
face of mother earth little, and be sure of
good wages for triHing toll. Yes, just work
enough now to keep one healthy will insure
pay to the amount of So to s. per day. 1t
is pleasant to know this can be done right
here and now, to say nothing of the great
requirements for labor that must exist after
the waters have died out and the grain har-
vest begun. Those who propose to make the
great Northeast their objective point for
summers campaign, should well consider
these things Before leaving the certainty
of good wages for year among civilized
beings at home, for an absolute uncertainty
in a barbarous, inhospitable way-of place,
where the warm season is but four months
long, balance sheet should be made and
we'll studied. We publish in to days paper
an extract of letter from one who is corral
cd in the snow at Montana, and those pro.
posing to go in the spring will do we'll to let
what the writer SAYS have full consideration
among pros and cons that present themselves
to be figured up in order to arrive at bal.
ance.
But to those who must and will go, we
have but this word of advice: Subscribe for
the COURIER before you start, SO that at the
end of a year, when you and the mines there
are played out you may be fully advised of
the existence and progress of the best mining
district yet known to man. By that time
you will need to know of rich mines afar off 4,
and the COURIER will guide you to them
and to your homes at one and the same
time. Be advised by us in this, and then go
your way, for we shall feel confident of your
future, and of having the pleasure of wei.
coming vou back Without the safeguard
We commend, why then .titre,cell, we shall
never see thy like again.

4 BoY ESCAPES FROM THE INDIANs.-Lleut.
Thomas E. Sallie, of Company c, 18th Mis-
souri, Cavalry, communicates to the Missouri
Democrat the following deeply interesting
statement, from Mound Station, Colorado
Territory
On the 9th of Nov. 1865. small boy
supposed to be about twelve years of age, of
rather dark complexion, black hair and
black eyes, came into rancho (near Mound
Station, of the overland stage line, running
from Atchison, Kansas. to Denver City,
Colorado about l10 miles east of Denver.
He could speak very little plain English.
but by signs could easibly be understood. l,
(being in command of the military at Mound
Station, on hearing of his arrival, immedi-
ately brought him to my station. lie is
now here, and is learning to talk very fast
| lie informs me that the Sioux Indians have
had him captive for many years, but he don't
know how many. He don't know anything
about his parents. but supposes that they
we're killed by the Indians at the time of his
capture. He neither knows his name nor
where be was captured He left the Indians
on the 25th instant, eighty miles south Of
this place. on the Republican river 5000 in
number. He luckily made his escape on a
pony, but running his pony to death the
| first night. he was then compelled to take il
afoot for three days, arriving at the rancho
on the evening of the 9th. All that be had
to eat after leaving the Indians until he
arrived at the rancho, was one crow that he
found dead, and piece of dead OK. lie
says the Sioux Indians have two white wo
men and several negroes captive now. He is
a good looking and intelligent youth
take this method of informing the public
of the unknown's whereabouts. We are now
under marching orders and will march to st.
Louis, Missouri. to be mustered out soon.-
| think we will be at St Louis between the
lst and 18th of January, 1866. | will bring
the boy with me, and if any of his relatives
Should he have any see this and come and
identify him, they can have him; if not
expect to take him home with me, Ito Mer
Ger county Missouri and educate him. All
editors who see this will please let it find
room in their columns.

INsANE.-On Sunday last j. d. Leonard
was locked up by Sheriff Hopping as insane
and liable to do himself injury. lie has long
been resident miner in the vicinity OF w his
kytown, working in Kanaka Gulch. where he
owns ditch and water right. Industrious
and frugal, he had the respect OF all who
knew him. On Sunday he came into town
bareheaded, barefooted, and without clothing
except pants and an old linen coat. 1t was
raining, and the poor man seemed worn and
fatigued. He said he had left home on Sat
urday morning, that he swan Clear Creek,
stayed in the hills all night, and the next
day made his way here. He left his cabin
because, he said, his neghbors were going to
rob him.
Drs Briceland and Shurtleff examined the
unfortunate man on Monday and Tuesday
and found him getting so mach worse that
they decided him to be fit subject for the
Insane Asylum. lie will be sent to Stockton
by Tuesdays stage.

REcrsrRY LAw.-We acknowledge The

RrcrsrRY LAw-We acknowledge the
receipt of a printed copy of a bill matured by
the Senate Judiciary Committee and intro
duced into the Senate The object of the bill
is good we can understand that much by
reading the title but after that all is confu
sisn. A bill for that purpose, or any other
should be so plain and simple that a school
boy of ten years of age could read and under
stand it. So framed. the law would address
itself to the common sense of every man and
meet with approval but it is difficult thing
for men to heartily endorse anything they
cannot understand. Why cannot a law for
this purpose be framed in the language COM
mon among men, and in style common
among writers upon all subjects except a
legal one? 1t seems that when there is any
thing to be written upon law questions, or a
law is to be framed or amended, that then,
and then only, is the style cabalistic to be
resorted to and maintained. To mistify the
reader as g. the meaning of sentences. if not
aimed at, is certainly allowed in too many
instances, and the registry bill, as printed, IS
certainly a grand success in that line.
The Shasta courier., 1866-02-10

UNION MILL.-This company has not dried
up; no, it is only ecetted out. That's the
reason we cannot give good reports of it. The
company's works were not prepared for the
the opening out of spring the Union will
produce results such as to make the mouths
of Shastans water. The rock is there, the
gold is there, and the means to push forward
the separation is in the treasury of the COM
pany
The Shasta courier., 1866-02-10

The SToRM.-We have been visited by one
OF these things in manner unmistakabe.-
The gulches and streams have been filed to
their full capacity, and many of them stopped
over. Clear Greek was up to within three
inches of high water mark in 1862. The
slough at the south end of Bells bridge was
50 high on Monday and Tuesday as to pre-
vent the crossing of the stage. Mondays
stage from Tehama arrived on Wednesday.
The Sacramento is booming and impossible.
On Tuesday a large tree careering
southwark, and carried away Waugh's ferry
rope, taking the supports on both sides. The
rain commenced in earnest on Sunday last
and though it did not fall in great quantities,
it was so warm that it carried with it vast
quantities of the snow on the mountains
Monday it rained very hard. We incline to
the opinion that good crops of gold, grain
and hay will be the result.

WASHINGTON Co.-This company, on the
Goth ult., brought in to Levin & Co. the
proceeds of thirteen days run with nine
stamps. Result, after melting and assay,
$2Sl9-a little over S2l7 per day. This
mine is now thoroughly open, and there
will be no delay for want of rock to feed the
mill. On the last clean Up a dividend was
made, and hereafter monthly dividends are
expected. There are six thousand shares in
the company, all owned by five persons
The last dividend amounted to 33a cents per
share. The coming monthly dividends will
of course be larger. as the full force of the
mill will run uninterruptedly.

GOLD CRoP.-IIorsetown is doing pretty
we'll for place where the placers are said to
be exhausted. On Sunday last We'll & Co.,

that day alone, not including the business in
that line during the week.

The IRISH FLAG.-One day this week we
had the pleasure of seeing for the first time
an Irish flag. On green silk, beautifully
fringed, is gilded the harp, sunburst and
shamrock. This beautiful flag, together with
the Stars and Stripes, were presented to Mr..
John o. Welsh by friend at the Bay, both
alike in finish and material: They may be
seen at his Photographic gallery.

STRUCK Ir.-A son of Supervisor Jones
busted himself parts of two days, this week,

ST. VALENTINES DAY.-On Wednesday
next the good people of Horsetown celebrate
this day by grand ball at Spencer's Hall,
the nett profits of which go to the school fund
of that district. We venture the assertion
that it will be one of the most pleasant and
profitable balls of the season. Only those who
fail to attend will feel regret.

PoIosI.-The new mill on this lode will be
In operation in the course of another week.
There are other lodes at or near Muletown
that are being prospected, and it is believed
from the evidence already had. that the
Potosi is not the only rich lode in that i'm
mediate vicinity.
