O,,E OF ras MusDsnERs OF JOHNSON AR.

O,IE OF raE MURDsRKRs OF JOHNSON AR
RzsrrD.-On Friday morning last. Sheriff
Oliphant and Deputy Matthews arrested. at
West Point, a negro named John Fergu-
son, one of the villains who murdered Mr..
johnson. The officers received information
the day previous to the capture that two men
answering the description of the assassins
had been seen at Jesus Maria, and as there
was Mexican celebration being held at
West Point. they would probobly go to that
place. Immediately upon the receipt of the
intelligence the officers started and reached
their destination about eight o'clock in the
morning. Upon entering the town they OBJ
served an unusual commotion IN the dance
house, and rightly conjecturing that the OBJ
jects of their search were there, they hurried
to the spot as speedily as possible and sue
ceeded in capturing the negro. The Mexi-
can. Jesus" was also in the house when
the officers came into town, but made his
escape. He was tracked to the Mokelumne
river by Deputy Matthews. who, finding that
further efforts to secure him would be use-
less, gave up the pursuit. The negro had in
his possession the shotgun which was taken
from the store the night the murder was COM
mitted, his clothes were bloody, which. COM
bined with other evidences against him pre-
cludes the possibility of doubt but that he
is ono of tho fendc who perpetrated tho tro
cious crime. He was brought to the Hill
and lodged in Jail to await the action of the
Grand Jury. The officers have been indefat-
igable in their endeavors to secure the Mex
lean, who is supposed to have been the prin-
cipal in the murder, but their efforts thus
far have been unavailing. Nothing has been
heard of the Chinaman who was implicated
in the affair.

FIRE.-On Tuesday evening last, our town
norrowly escaped conAagration. About ten
O'Clock, as kerosene lamp was being low
cred for the purpose of putting it out prepar-
atory to locking up for the night. the string
by which it was suspended broke, letting the
lamp fall to the foor, smashing it to pieces.
The oil caught fire and spreading rapidly
communicated the flames to the boxes of to-
bacco, matches, etc.. which were piled up on
the floor. By this time, however, large
number of our citizens had collected. the
burning articles were quickly thrown into
the street. and the flames smothered out with
coats. A moment later and the whole inte-
rior of the building would have been on fire.
The Engine and Hook and Ladder Companies
were promptly on the ground. but luckily
their services were not required. The long
continued dry weather has rendered every
thing as dry as finder. and should a fire get
well going you might as well attempt to
bore down one of the "big trees" with gim-
let as to stop its progress. Too much care
cannot be taken.

GONE TO STATE PRIsoN.-On Wednesday
morning Uuder Sheriff Cotton and MIR. A.
F. Albums, went below with five prisoners
who have been sentenced to the State Pris-
on during the recent term of the County
Court. The following are their names and
time each has to serve: William II. Brown.
six years, for robbery; William Hooper.
three years, for grand larceny; John Wilson.
three years, for grand larceny Vincent Me-
rioux. one year, for attempt to commit rape ;
- Dixon, alias Knowles an escaped con-
vict. ten years "unexpired term" yet to serve.
Some of the prisoners have sworn that they
would not be taken to prison, and unless
they are carefully watched will probably at
tempt to escape during the passage.

SACRAMENTO. April 30. 1865.
DIR. u. NJ BOURNE Dear Sir 1t is with
pleasure and satisfaction that now let you
know of my good health. Looking back
upon what have passed through, it seems as
il bad been lifted from the grave. and
think it my duty to acknowledge to you and
the world the benefit derived from water
treatment as administered by you in your
celebrated baths. 1t was in August 1864,
when disease developed itself with severe
cough. then took medicines. getting worse
with chlls. fevers, loss of strength, and was
pronounced cOnsunptve. This set me to
thinking. anu finally determined to leave
my business and go 20 the Sandwich Islands.
having been informed that 1 could not be
cured here. l went to San Francisco, and
while waiting for ship, called upon DR..
Bonrne, who stated that trip to the Islands
would probably result disastrously was who'll
ly unnecessary. as | could be speedily cured
at his establishment. placed myself under
his treatment, and in one week was so much
improved that l could risk returning home
and do my duty as Engineer on the Central
Pacific Railroad. The Doctor objected. but /
thought knew better, and returned to duty
In about two weeks rny cough returned and
kept getting worse. and contrary to DR..
Bourne's injunction never to take medicine
again, committed that folly, and soon was so
completely run down that could scarcely
walk; so, as last resort, concluded to try
the Water Cure once more. | went to San
Francisco-few of my friends expecting me
to return. In fact, thought my return doubt
full On arriving at DR.. Bourne's establish
ment. February IA, 1862 was not able to
get into the bath without assistance, but in a
few days began to recover myself again.
remained with him orly six weeks, when
felt '' wiser and better man." without the
| aid of medicine have now been at work
several weeks. and find that arp gaining
every day, and at present bid fair TO be stout
er than ever before. Persons visiting the
Doctors establishment find it just what it
should be, both in the Ladies' and Gentle
mems Departments, and l cannot say too
much in praise of the Doctors kind attention
to his patients
This letter l write for the benefit of all the
afflicted, to be used as the Doctor decides.
and should it be the means of directing any
to his care and treatment who las they assur-
edly will,) find relief will be paid for my
