A BRIDGE ACROSS FRArHEg RIVERA
hrIdna

A BRIDGE ACROSS FRArHER RIVERA
bridge across Feather river at Oroville is an
improvement demanded by our increasing
trade, and by the increasing business of the
people OF the county at large. Especially in
the Winter session. during which there are
frequent periods when the ferryboats cannot
run. the necessity of bridge is most felt
There could be DO better natural location for
bridge than we have Oh Feather river at the
upper part Of town. The river is very narrow,
and is confined on this side By an imperishable
wall of high bedrock, which forms the bluff.
ledge of bed rock also divides the river into
two channels, and affords solid basis for
pier to support the middle Of the structure.
On the opposite side of the river, a high gravel
bluff near the rivers edge, offers an enduring
foundation for bridge 1t is estimated that
a double-track covered bridge could be built
across the river at this point, for $4,000. As
an individual or company enterprise, no better
investment could be found the bridge would
pay for itself in a year or two, aud would be
paying institution for generations. Who will
take stock?

appears elsewhere in this paper for meeting
OF "all who are in favor of the repeal of the
Specific Contract Act, and of banking system
with notes convertible at sight into gold," at
the Court House, this Saturday evening, ito

"grand combination" certainly, whether all
that is proposed to be accomplished is 'con-

Nevada by the decision of the Supreme Court
of that State, that the Specific Contract Law
is unconstitutional, it is rather doubtful about

By the proposed Repeal" ETC. As it has
been decided that taxes must be paid in coin,

HuMBuGGERy-The Chico Couraut is fond
of asserting that, if 1.-The people" are defrauded
out OF a division by our present delegation in
the Legislature. the people of the northern
portion of the county will "see to it, that they
have a representation in the uext Legislature
who will carry out their will. This sounds
very fine, but is not calculated to alarm any

On the naked question of division, Chico is the
only one of the last named that would poll 8
half q dozen votes for division though it is
possible that, by brow-beating aud other
elecuonsering lodges, the dividers would have
a majority in Chico township. There are,
however, many prominent men in the township
who will oppose division to the last.

POISONING CAsE.-An examination of the
case of The People VS.. c. Nan Ripper, charged
with having administered poison to p.
Donuelly, on or about the 18th of January.
was had in the Justices Court OF john Dick,
yesterday. In default of $4,000 bail, Van
Ripper was committed to Jail. 1t appears that
Donney and Van Ripper lived together at the
house of the former, near Roses Station, and
that they had a difficulty, the nature oi which
we have not learned, and that Van Ripper left,
going to "Cbarley's ranch" Donnelly was
cautioned by some one against eating any more
of his provisions, and, upon examining bottle
of molasses and sulphur, powdered substance
was found in it. which was pronounced by
druggists to be strychnine. Previous to his
arrest, Van Ripper is said to have hnted to
some one that be had set three traps" for
Donuelly, naming poison as one, and :attle
snakes tooth in the heal of bis boot as another.
After being taken in custody, Van Ripper sent
for the person TO whom he had made this
statement, and begged him not TO testify in
the case, he was the only person he had told
about ii. etc.

We predict brighter future for Orovlle, in
regard to her mines, for We know TO a certainty
that the bluff on the opposite side of the river
from this town will pay good wages, with the
facilities at present afforded for working the
ground. The water from the Inskip ditch
having been secured by the Thompson Flat
Water Company, that Company now engages
to furnish water for ten cents an inch Some
years since, when miners worked upon the face
of the bluff, and paid twenty five ard thirty
cents an inch for water, they could make some
thing more than expenses at those exorbitant
rates. There is no doubt that every acre
of the bluff will pay from SO to Sc per day TO
the man at the present water rates and these
are Eot claims that can be worked out in few
days, but will last for years, aud can be worked
to advantage the whole year round There is
ground enough for two thousand men. Several
companies have already commenced work, and
before next fall there will not be vacant foot

MEDICAL -ApvIcE.-Dr. wm. K. pohertv's

MEDICAL ApvIcE--Dr. VIM. K Doherty's Med
ica and Surgical Institute is becoming sine qua
non to the welfare of our State and health of our
citizens; and his rapidly spreading reputation, al
though il may excite surprise is but the signal of
skill, and follows the natural effect of such a
cause. We are personally acquainted with gentle
men who had suffered for years under chronic dis
ease, and who had taken advantage of every
available means that promised relief but without
success, until they called upon Dr. Doherty, who,
in an Incredibly short space of time, has given
them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to announce
this fact, because the Doctor is gentleman who
seeks not by defamation of Others to establish his
reputation, or to rear the superstructure of his
own upon the rule of another's fame. The Doctor
conducts his Institute in such a manner that must
be gratifying to all his patients. He examines.
advises, and recommends without charge. and the
patient after hearing his terms for treatment can
accept reject at pleasure. In no case does the
Doctor make a charge unless he effects cure.
This he is able to do, because he feels the conf
dence which long experience has given, and no
doubt the consolation which appertains to that
confidence. Persons afflicted with either acute OF
chronic diseases would do well to consult the Doc
tation he asks no fee; nor does he insist obed-
enee TO his advice unless the patient places himself
under his care. His Offices are on Sacramento
street, opposite the Pacific Mail Steamship office

SoRE.-The editorial of the Copperopolis
Courier in relation to Hatch's experience in
Chico, while publishing the Iudex, appears to
have hit some one Of the characters to which
1t alluded where he lives" A correspondent,
feelings at considerable length, limiting at some
'liddle dings,' as Brick Pomeroys Dutchman
says, in decidedly low flung style. A CON-
parison Of Hatch's editorial with the commu-
nication in the Courant will certainly not lower
him in the estimation Of any one, while it will
not relieve the gentry of Chico to whom the
editorial alludes of the odum which attaches
to their conduct in the past, nor furnish grounds
for hope Of their reformation in the future.

HIGH WATER AT SAcRAMESTo.-Great
alarm prevailed at Sacramento, on Sunday
night The Union says that quarter before
eleven o'clock. the fire bells were rung, and the
report quickly circulated that the north levee
had given way, and that the waters of the
American river were coming into the city. A
large portion of the community had been in a
state of anxiety during the day, and this report,
suddenly started in the night was well calcu-
lated TO awaken alarm. The streets were
quickly thgouged with men running to and fro,
eagerly comforting with one another as to the
appreheuded danger. Houses were quickly lit
up and women and children who were net too
badly frightened, engaged in packing up their
goods for hasty removal. But it turned cut
that there was only a leak in the levee, which
was promptly stopped, when the fears Of the
people were quieted.
