taking with him several thousand dollars of the
coupty's funds. He was also Federal tax collector
for Satter county and had not settled his accounts
for some time. He had store at Yuba City
His bond for the faithful performance of his official
duty was in the sum of 500 000 which instru

DEATH OF Howard BURr.-The very numerous
friends and of this young man will learn with deep
regret that he died Monday last, at the ranch of
his brother, J. NJ. Burt, Esq, near oroville. His
disease was consumption, so slow yet SO certainly
fatal to all upon whom its shadow may be cast.
Though for many years a resident of Butte, he had
spent the past three four years in San Francisco
and returned TO his home last summer when he felt
that the hand of disease was indeed laid heavily
upon him. His social and intelligent mind, and
his comprehensive grasp of thought, and pleasing
conve rsational powers, had rendered him favor
lite with a numerous circle OF acquaintances. who
will mourn his untimely removal from earth. He
was buried on Tuesday afternoon.
