A SHOCKING DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.-A Mo-
bile paper relates the following heart rend
ing killing of mother by her son, by mis-
take:
The family of a prominent citizen residing
on ST. Louis street. and now absent on visit
to Pensacola. had. one or two days before,
been disturbed by an attempt at burglary
The only son present on the premises was at
the time sick in bed, and had taken some
opium to lull his pains. After midnight,
the mother of the family awoke, and suppos
ing there was some one trying to force an
entrance into her room, she slipped off her
bed and entered the adjoining room, where
her son, still under the effect of soporfic
potion, was uneasily resting. To avoid
alarming him, the tender mother gently
shook him by the arm, when, horrible to
| relate. the unfortunate son aroused from
his heavy slumber, and before having re-
covered from its effects, supposed that
some robber had entered his room, and
| fetching out pistol from under his pill
low, twice pulled the fatal trigger, and sent
the bullet through the throat of his be-
| loved mother, who, in the agonies of her
death, faithful to her maternal instinct, ex-
claimed, "Son! son you didn't mean it.
God bless youp ~ Awakening to the terrible
reality, the unfortunate man rushed out to
seize in his arms his dying mother. and the
whole family having hastened to the room,
the sanity matron repeated her words of
forgiveness and soon expired in the midst
of her beloved family. Crazed by the
deed, the voluntary matricide rushed out of
his home and has not been seen since.

SETTLED.-A few weeks ago a returned
soldier named West had his arm broken by
the upsetting of the stage between this place
Red Bluff, which necessitated amputation to
preserve his life This week E. S. Corbett,
Superintendent of the California and Oregon
Stage Company, visited Red Bluff and paid
West five thousand dollars in gold coin,
besides liquidating all his medical and other
expenses contracted since the accident took
place. Such action is creditablc to Mr..
Corbett and the company he represents.

A Singular and Fatal Shooting ARRAY.

A few months ago we published an ac-
count of the death of Mrs Hudson and four
children, who persisted in the flames of a
burning building. at Shingletown, in this
county. The husband of the woman and
father of the children appears to have been
but little affected by the appalling manner of
their death, and sin e that time has conduct
ed himself in a style that plainly showed him
to be devoid of all respect for himself or the
memory of the dead. On Saturday last this
man ended his career under the following
circumstances
On Friday Hudson and one Frank Martin
were engaged in playing cards in the bar
room of the Millville Hotel, and in the course
of the game Hudson accused Martin of
cheating, and said he had swindled him out
of $3.50. Martin denied tlat he had cheated
and remarked that any man who said he did
SO was I'D Ear'' Hudson then Left the
house. On the following day Hudson drank
considerable liquor and tried to borrow
pistol, saying he had been imposed upon,
and would not stand such treatment. He
was refused a weapon, but finally he and one
of his friends forcibly took pistol from a
man named Glasscock. Shortly after OBJ
tanning possession of the pistol, Hudson
approached Martin, who was standing just
outside the hotel door, and presenting the
pistol, within a few feet of his breast, ordered
him to take back what he had said. Martin
Immediately rushed upon Hudson and caught
him around the neck, drawing his head down
on his breast After some considerable scuf-
fling, Hudson raised the pistol above his head
and fired downward, with the evident inten.
ton of shooting Martin, but the ball entered
his own head on the right side, and piercing
the brain, lodged in the base of the skull on
the left side. Before entering his head the
ball cut off the thumb of Hudson's left hand,
besides grazing one of Martins arms.
Hudson lived until Monday morning, when
he expired. the victim CT his own rashness
and evil habits. Justice Guptill, of Mllvile,
impanneled jury and held an inquest over
the remains of deceased when the jury
returned verdict in accordance with the
above narrated facts.

INTERNAL REVENUE DEcIsloNs.-Th Com
missioner of Internal Revenue has recently
rendered the following decisions:
When the contents of packages of tax paid
spirits are changed in character by mixing or
reduction in proof, they must be again
inspected and branded in the usual manner,
Branding the word +" rectiied' is OPTIONAL.
there being no law or regulation requiring
this to be done. The name and address of
the firm or person doing business, or recti
fiers, or wholesale dealers, must, however,
appear on the package.
Gasoline, whether above or below seventy
in weight, is considered to be coal oil, so
far the payment of special tax is con-
cerned.
Weiss beer is not included in the provisions
of the act of March ?, 1867. exemptng root
beer and other small beer. 1t belongs to the
class of fermented liquors, and is governed
BY the provisions of the law relating to that
subject The producer should. therefore, he
required to pay the special tax as brewer
and a tax of one dollar per barrel upon the
| beer.
Prior to act of March ., 1867, the tax on
distilled spirits was lien on the spirits dis
| TILED and on the dstillery used for distillng
the same, with the stills, vessels, fixtures and
| tools therein, and on the interest of said
| distiller in the lot or tract Of land wbereon
the said distillery is situated. In the act of
| March 2, 1867, the words the interest of
said distiller in" were left out, and in leaving
them out Congress evidently intended to
| make the tax on distilled spirits a lien on the
| lot or tract of land on which the distillery is
| situated, whether the owner of the land was
or was not liable to the payment of the tax.

THE Bullion. ."-Robinson & Co. are
energetically at work sinking a shaft on the
- Bullion" ledge, at South Fork, and have
struck rock which is pronounced richer in
gold and silver than anything yet discovered
in the district. After running cut into the
mountain side, a shaft was commenced and is
now sunk twelve feet. The ledge at that
depth is four feet thick, well defined. and in
many places contains native silver, spangles
and threads of which are plainly. visible to
the naked eye. We understand it is the
intention Of the company to continue sinking
the shaft during the winter.

ErNE BUILDING-Tbe new Masonic, Odd
Fellows and School building at Millville, in
this county, is Enthusiastically the finest, most
substantial and beautiful in this portion of
the State The building is composed OF well
burnt brick, is two stories high, and fifty -four
feet in length by thirty-two in width. The
upper story is intended for Masonic and
Odd Fellows Hall, and the lower story will
be divided into two apartments and used as
school rooms. The building is well lighted,
thoroughly ventilated, and is situated in
we'll shaded and healthy locality. The recent
celebration and ball, given by the people OF
Millville, for the purpose of raising funds to
complete this building, netted about eight
hundred dollars-the largest amount raised
from festival of that character, IN this
county, for many years.

Cow CREEK BRIDGE.-The tmbers for the
new free bridge across Little Cow Greek, at
Ultzs ranch, are now on the ground and the
foundation laid. The structure will be raised
this week. The contractor calculates on
having the bridge complete in one month
from the time the frame is raised. The com
pletion of this bridge will result in great
benefit and accommodation to the people of
this place and those residing in the eastern
portion of the county. We understand Mr..
Ultz intends asking the Board of Supervisors,
at their next meeting, for permission to
obstruct the new bridge road during the
summer, in order to lead his irrigating ditch
to his residence with less expense and
trouble, and have the old road used entirely
We hope the Board will not listen to any
such proposition.

Once More to the Breach.


On Wednesday next, October 10th, the
Judicial election takes place. and on that
occasion the Union voters of the State will
be offered fair opportunity to retrieve the
late disaster, by electing loyal and able men
to fill the highly responsible Offices of Judge
Of the Supreme Court and Superintendent of
Public instruction. There can be no doubt
that the majority of the voters of the State
are loyal men, who desire to see sound
Unionists elected to these important posi-
tions, and they have only to turn out prompt
ly to the polls to render triumph of their
candidates certain.
The effect of Union victory in this State
on the 10th would indeed be magical, and
fill the hearts of the Union people of the
Eastern States with unbounded joy and de
light Such triumph would secure the
Electoral vote of our State for the Union
Presidential candidate next year, and tend
to silence and discourage the enemies of
Congress and its plan of reconstruction
Then, too, the tide of rebel immigration
which, encouraged and invited by the elec-
tion Of Iaight, threatens to overrHn the
State, @puld be stayed, and the destiny of
the Commonwealth would remain in the
hands of a party devoted to the maintain
ance of, the Federal Union. and the PEI petu'
ity of the Republic.
We appeal to the Union men of Shasta
county to earnestly consider these important
facts, and ask them to lay aside all ordinary
business, and devote next Wednesday to the
work of assisting to secure the success OF the
cause in which all loyal men are Interested
Let us lay aside all minor differences, and go
to the polls in solid phalanx, and by voting
the Straight Union Ticket, retrieve our
recent defeat, and show the enemy that
Union principles are still dear to our hearts.

WHY SENATOR LkTHAM's FRIEND WOKE
HIS BooTs.-During a canvass in California
Governor Latham travelled for his party
His opponents, with that delicacy that is
common among politicians, accused the Gov
ernor OF all crimes, up or down. to stealing.
The Governor usually retired early, an ex-
celent example not followed by his compan-
ions in the canvass. While up in the min
ing towns, where rooms were not as Dumer-
Gus as guests, the Governor awoke one morn
ing to find that Jones, his room mate, was
enjoying his sleep and his boots. Jones,
says the Governor, how is it that you are
in bed with your boots on?' Jones sat up,
looked down to see whether he had bis boots
on, and turning complacently toward the
Governor, said: Look here, Latham, L
have travelled with yoa now some ten days,
and have heard all the stories about you
them boots are new they cost me sixteen
dollars. and. to tell you the truth. Latham,
was afraid you would steal them. The
Governor is now head of banking house IN
San Francisco, and of course Jones does not
trust his muney in Latham's keeping.-N
