Robbery on Rocky Bar.

EpIToR RECoRp:-As the sun was disappearing
over the western hills on Tuesday last, Mr.. Evan
Richards and his son came to their camp, on Rocky
Bar Feather river. While preparing supper, they
found ont that their bread, cheese, tea etc were
missing. Thos. Richards fastened to the China
store, which is near the cabin, and enquired of
John whether he bad seen some robbers around
during the day. While poor John was answering
his question behold four long fingered gentlemen
entered the celestial premises, without permission
and without any introductory remarks commenced
in earnest on their searching work. There was
fear and trembling in camp. One OF the agents
put his hand on Richards shoulder, while another
came from behind and bndfolded and tied his
hands together. He was searched twice, but as it
happen they did not succeed in getting red cent.
While the searching game was going on, Mr.. Hub
bard accidently came in he treated in the ike
manner, and relved of twelve dollars and half.
Poor Johns turn came next. he was terribly bea-
ten and tied with his own rope. and robbed of good
many articles. As it happened, Mr.. Richards came
from his cabin and found the men tied. We do not
know whether Hubbard and Richards were tied to
the celestial body or not: if so, tile terrestrial S
were once tied to the celestial. Il seems that our
county is full of such agents. The authorizes should
search for and capture such Internal rogues, and
punish them.

Cherokee Flat Correspondence.


CHEROKEE FLAT, October 18th, 1866
EDITOR or Butte REcoRD.-In perusing your
journal for the last two months, | have observed
several communications quarts mining. in which
the writers gave as their opinion why so many
good lodges still remained undeveloped IN Butte
county, and the causes of companies formed for the
special purpose of testing quartz claims, were 50
short lived, none of whom, in my opinion. gives
the reasons. The tenor Of the communications
would lead the "unintiateds to believe that the
faults chargable to the miners, which in behalf
Of the fraternity deny. Most companies contain
one more indoses in them, therefore why SO
many failures. What | mean is this. parties into
verbal agreements relative 10 the prospecting
claim, two or more of the company as the case
may require, go to work in developing the claim
and incur expenses in doing so with the verbal
understanding, that all the shareholders will bear
their equal share Of the expenses incurred, when
asked for their share of the assessments they put
you of promising to pay at some future time, hop
ing secretly (if are allowed to judge persons by
their actions that those developing the lodges will
continue on, and test it ere they are again asked
for the assessment. if dunned to often to suit them
they take offence, and tell their creditors to get
their pay If they can. knowing tall well that 1t +
matter of impossibility for them to do so under
those circumstances. Whilst they act the part of
dog in the manger, they viii neither pay up their
share of the assessments give deed of their
interest TO the other shareholders. Those who have
borne the burden also become dissatisfied and justly
too, by prospecting for others who will not bear
their share of the costs. company in the above
condition can do nothing with the delinquent
shareholders and thus the company ANONYMOUSLY
expire not because the miners have lost confidence
in the claim, but because the laws of the State
lame in this respect, and the indoses cannot be
got rid of, therefore the reason why MANY
companies expire ere they sink shaft fifty feet
deep their claims, and, so many good lodges in
old Butte county go unprospected. Several com
panies in the above condition are brought to
memory. The names of tie companies | forbear
mentioning for the present PRIMARY.

REPORT OF FAIR COMMITTEE
Squarza's Punches.

NHE SPECIAL COMMITTEE APPOINTED
L by the Mechanics Institute. on the occasion
of the last Fair, to examine and decide upon Com
pounds and California Inventions consisted of Dr..
Isaac Rowell. Dr. Beverley Cole, and VIM. H.
Keith, Esq. The following is an extract from the
Report of these gentlemen: The Liquors, Punch
es, Tonic Bitters. Cordials, ETC., prepared by v.
Squarza, are, without exception the finest articles
in their line the Committee have ever examined.
All of Mr. Squarzas preparations have these grea.
merits over other compounds of similar charac-
ter lst. That none but the best and purest liquors
are used. I'd. That no Sugar, Syrup or Sweeten-
ing principle is used except that obtained by
maceration of sweet fruits, hence the nutritious
principles contained in the fruits are also impaired
TO the Punches. That the foll0u1ng materials are
also obtained by macerating the various fruits,
flowers. plants and herbs which contain them. in
stead of using the ordinary expressed essential
oils. The great skill of Mr.. Squarza consists in
his ability to blend tremendously and in the due
preparation the various materials used so that
there are none wanting and none in excess. Some
of his preparations are medicinal and deserve
especial and favorable mention.

It eradicates scurf and dandruf.

1t makes the hair soft and glossy.
1t prevents hair turning gray and falling of.
1t restores hair upon prematurely bald heads.
This is just what Lyon 5 Katharon will do. 1t is
