Pursuit OF ISDIASs.-Messrs Kuper aud Este
two Of the party of Indian hunters, returned Ia!
Friday night, having become foot-sore from til
rough trip across the mountains. They left th
main party the mouth of Cottonwood, ha'
ing ascertained that the Indians had crossed tn
Sacramento river after having murdered seyera
tame Indians and negro, and committed othe
depredations in Shasta county. 1t is now satis
factorily known that the mischief done on ia;
Fork and the murder of McKiernan was the wori
o: Cow Creek Indians-a detachment OF the par
ty which murdered the woman near Millyille lou
or live weeks ago-the balance of the gang na'
ing been killed by citizens of Shasta and Tehama
SHowER.-This section was visited by refresh
ing shower, accompanied with some thunder ana
lightning, on Monday evening. Our frlend jim
Smith, who was out in the hills at the time, loon
refuge under a big pine where he had been ou' u
a few minutes when the Lightning struck amour

: We guess Jim didn I stop great while, Tor he
was out of breath and very wet when he reached
town We hear that along the river the shower
was accompanied by heavy wind, which blew
down a hundred feet of the high fume over the
Trinity at Evans Bar Somebody 8 fume on
Canyon creek was ALSO demolished.
CHANGE OF TlME.-On Monday last Mr.. Tag
CARTS L. S. Mail and Express commenced leav-
ing Shasta at O'Clock in the morning, and Wea-
veryille at the same hour. This arrangement
will be continued until further notice By it
passengers will be set down in Weaverville at
supper time. 1t is possible that when the rail-
road is completed from Lincoln to Marysyile the
Oregon Stage will reach Shasta in time to make
the regular connection through to this place as
heretofore.
MAMMOTH PEARs.-We received n box of splen-
did pears from Geo r. Knox, of Shasta last
week, TOR which we came near forgetting to re-
turn thanks. 1t was a splendid lot of fruit-av-
eraging in weight from ID to % ounces The
fact that Jack Frost nipped the fruit crop of this
county last Spring, makes these oft-repeated do
nations of our big-hearted friend doubly appre-
cable. Many people wish they belonged to the
newspaper fraternity this year
New GooDs.-We invite attention to the new
advertisement of J. r. Balch, Odd Fellows build
ing, Main street. He has received n large supply
of Clothing and Furnishing Goods, which he is
going to sell at living prices. Those handsome
Business Suits (such wear) may be had of
Balch. Our patrons down Trinity will have an
opportunity of seeing for themselves in n very
few days.
MErhvn;;C DISPLAY IN PRosPEcTIvE.-ProfcSso
Newton of Yale College, says that on the 18th
or l4th of next month prodigious flight of me-
teors will be witnessed by the wide-awake which
will exceed anything in that line since the dis
play of 1888, in which year Arago computed
that not less than two hundred and forty thous-
and metcors were visible above the horizon of
Boston on the morning of the 18th of November.
STRATMAH.-Our literary " Santa Claus" of
the Bay City, has been here again, leaving this
time budget made up of Godey's Lady's Book,
for October, Harper's and Leslie's illustrated Pa |
pers, Nick-Nar, Budget Of Fun Demorest's Month"; |
IL, and valuable assortment of Eastern news
papers. We acknowledge renewed obligations
to that ndefatigable News vender
THE rebel torpedos seem to stand immersion
well The Mobile Adrertjser says that one sunk
near the mouth of Dog river in rebellion time, !
it, and which fiat boat was blown into kindlng
wood, to the great terror of the old ladies in that
neighborhood, who imagined that the pesky |
ankees had come again
OREGON SEyAToR.-A dispatch dated Portland
Sept. 10th, announced the election of II. W. Cor
bett (Union) as the successor of Nesmth, by a
strict party vote of SO to 81 There was great
rejoicing throughout that State. Oregon will
not be msrepresented in the United States Sem
ate after the 4th of March next.
STATE ELEcTIoys.-Next Tuesday elections will
take place in Pennsylvania Ohio, Indiana and
Iowa. Next week we expect to chronicle about
the following Union majorities in those States
Pennsylvania, 10000 to Is 900 Ohio 40 900 to
$1,000 Indiana, 35, 900 to 40, 900; Iowa. 25,-
600 to 30 600.
MORE AID.-We hear that through the efforts
Of Mr.. Chas 0'Connell the citizens of Indian
creek few days since subscribed $3.50 more to-
wards defraying the expenses of the Indian hunt
ers, who % last accounts had crossed the Sacra-
'nento river in pursuit of McKernan murderers
GENERAL GRANT says in an official letter that
neither General Hllyer, or " anv other man ,, is
authorized to pledge him to the support of Pres
ldent Johnson's policy. We think Gen ,Grant
hn-l
fore the Fall elections are over.
DEAD THNG.-A. ~ Kruttschnitt. wears apo
n resident of Weaverville is the Democratic cam
didate for Assessor of Storey county Nevada
As the people of that section are not much in
clined to- Democracy, we take it for granted that
kruty, though called, will not be chosen.
THE SOLDIERS ALL RIGHr.-The Soldiers Con-
vention which assembled in Pittsburg on the 26tb
ult was grand affair. The Congressional plan
of reconstruction was fully endorsed, and the
support of the boys in blue pledged to all loyal
lists of the South, whether black or white.
BAp.-The Downieyille Messenger alleges that
Rev. George B. Taylor, Grand Lecturer OF the
Order of Sons of Temperance, has been defraud-
ing the cold water institutions in that neck OF
the woods Bad business, George.
