Lyons Kathairon.

1t is a most delightful Hair Dressing.
1t eradicates scurf and dandruf.
1t keep the head cool and clean.
1t makes the hair rich, soft and glossy.
1t prevents hair turning gray and falling off.
1t restores hair upon prematurely bald heads.
This is just what Lyons kathairon will do. 1t
is pretty-it is cheap-durable. It's literally sold
by the car load and yet its almost incredible de-
mand is daily increasing, until there is hardly a
country store that does not keep it, family that
does not it.

An OMISSION BY THE HUMBLE INDNID-

Moses after the following fashion:
A very great oversight has been noticed in
the Presidents reception address to Queen
Emma, of the Sandwich Islands. Through
an unaccountable inadvertance, he neglected
10 inform her that he had once been an AL.

DREADFUL ExPLosIoN.-On Saturday last,

starting from San Francisco, her steam drum
exploded. Four of the crew were killed out

ATRocIoUs MURDER.-On Wednesday even
ing last, Mr.. B. r. G. johnson, a gentleman
who has long been resident of this county,
and who was well known and much respected
in this community, was brutally murdered at
his store on the Calaveras river, about two
miles below the Spring Valley House, on the
Copperopolis road. The following are the
particulars in regard to the matter as we
obtained them from Mr. Johnson's clerk,
who was present when the foul deed was
committed: About seven o'clock on Wednes-
day evening, three men-two of them Mex
leans, and the other Chinaman, or person
disguised as such-entered the store appa.
rently for the purpose of taking drink. The
clerk was in the back room or kitchen, at the
time, but stepped to the door which connects
the apartments to see who had come in. AT
that time the three men were standing at the
bar, and MIR. johnson was waiting upon
them. There was nothing in their appear
anee to excite suspicion, and the clerk went
back into the kitchen to attend to his duties.
Shortly afterwards he was startled by the
report of pistol and heard Mr.. johnson cry
for help. He Immediately rushed to the
door which "Opens into the apartment where
the murder was being committed, when he

leyeied a SIX SnOoter az MS neau anu IOrDaue
his entrance He then went out of the back
door, ran around the building and endeavored
to get 10 at the front door, but this was also
guarded by one of the ruffans. Finding that
his efforts to assist him we're useless, he
started for the nearest neighbors at the top of
his speed Considerable time elapsed before
help could be obtained, and upon returning
to the store, most horrible scene presented
itself Mr.. Johnson was lying behind the
bar, dead, with three pistol shots in his breast
and his throat cut The till was robbed, and
a gun and two pistols were taken. The
amount of booty secured by the murderers
was insignificant, and it is the opinion of
those best informed on the subject. that rob-
berry was not the ouly incentive which caused
the commission of the murder. Mr.. johnson
had recently obtained divorce from his
wife. who was Spanish woman, and con-
siderable hard feeling had been engendered
between him and some of her eountrymen in
consequence. Whatever the causes were
which led to the commission of the crime, it
was certainly one of the boldest and most
cold blooded murders ever perpetrated in
Calaveras county. No clue to the murderers
has vet been obtained Cdtareras Chron.

THE ball given by the French Society, on
Monday evening last, was complete sue
cess. At an early hour Leger's large hall
was filled with the most brilliant assemblagc
of fashionably dressed ladies and gentlemen
we have ever seen at a dance on Mokelumne
Hill. About nine clock the band struck
up the Grand March, and from that time
until broad daylight there was no cessation
in the festivities, except for supper. Our
town has long since acquired the reputation
of giving the most elegant and recherche par
ties in the State, and the one of the French
Society adds another to the long list of bril-
liant successes achieved in that particular.
Much credit is due to the Committee of Ar
rangements for the tasteful and elegant man.
formed all other duties devolving upon them.
Nothing was left undone which could please
the most fastidious. The Floor Managers,
Messrs. Mayhem and Gayou, were attentive
and obliging, making it their especial care
that no one who wished to dance should be
without partner. The music, furnished by
Messrs. Church, Jones and Kay, was magnif-
icent. A person who cannot dance while
they are performing, could not keep step to
the music of angels, and is so oblivious to
heavenly sounds that we fear Gabriel's
trump would fail to awaken him. Nothing
occurred during the entire evening to mar
the harmony or interrupt the festivities of
the occasion, and it will long be remembered
as one of the most pleasant reunions ever had
in Mokelumne Hill.

Blood becomes impure, no matter from wha,

taken to remove such impurities, the whole

MIRACULOUS EscAPE.-On Sunday morn

formation that man had fallen into one of
the deep shafts with which Stockton Hill
abounds. On repairing to the spot it was
ascertained that an old Chileno, while in
search of fire wood, had endeavored to pass
through the thick bushes which concealed
the mouth of the yawning abyss, and had
fallen in. As the shaft was known to be a
hundred feet deep, with twenty feet of water
in the bottom, it was naturally supposed
that if he had not been immediately killed by
the fall. he mass certainly drown before help
could reach him. lsaPss were Immediately
Obtained and maR lowered into the shaft.
when it was discovered that the chileno was

fling bruises. The greatest wonder to Us, is
that as he was well filled with pitTe-glyeef.
