Butte CoCSTY JocKEY CLrB-Seyeral gentle
men who feel county interest and pride in the
improvement of stock, and who believe that Butte
county is far behind the position that it ought to
occupy in this respect. have determined to organ
izea Society for the purpose Of endeavoring to
promote this object. With this view the object of
the Society viii be to collect such information
will be advantageous to stock growers aiding them
to rear good servicabe and blooded stock. The
raising and improvement of domestic animalsis
noble employment, and advantageous, il not indis
pensible to cur prosperity a community. Some
idea Of the value of this branch of the agricultural
interest Of the nation, may be gathered from the
census returns of ls60, which shows that there
in the United States $50 COO horses. or including
mules 600 600; of neat cattle Is 500 600;
of sheep over % 900 0o0 of swine 80 500 900;
amounting in value 10 more than 81 600 900 900.
To awaken interest in this matter and demonstrate
the advantages to be derived TO citizens from
raising blooded and servcabe stock, is the princi-
pie object to be attained. Such information as the
club may be able to obtain will always be accessi-
bic to those citizens of the county, who wish TO
avail themselves thereof. A preliminary meeting
was held on Tuesday evening last...a the follow
ing proceedings had:
At "a meeting of citizens of Butte county, held

OLD JACOB SMITH, now confined in our jail and
who has been once convicted on the charge of muir
der. but granted new trial by the Supreme Court,
is either crazy. making desperate efforts to ap-
pear so. He adheres steadily to the idea that be
is the Son of God. and his latest production is a
proclamation establishing a kingdom On earth for
the various languages His proclamation closes
with the following exhortatiou:
Fellow man Here the Son of God sends forth
unto the human family, what his Father in Heaven
has revealed to his in prison. that he shall send
forth so they shall know that the Son of God is
upon earth. So say God on high.
Fellow man The shall find it riten in the Holy
Law from God on High that the Tree of knowledge
has many branches. So say God on High.
Fellow man Here is the tree that has many
branches that came from Heaven unto the Son OF
God in Prison. and here is branch upon the tree
free for each kingdom of Heaven upon earth So
say God on High.
Fellow man. Here is the fruit from, God on
High and be that shall deny the fruit he shall fall
TO the ground. So say God on High.
Fellow man The shall have thirty-hve days
with this day to release the Son of God from pris-
on unframed. So say God on High.
Fellow man, II the Son Of God is not released
from Prison unharmed upon the day set by his Fa-
Their in Heaven his Father in Heaven will carry
his son out of yorr city unframed, and he will
Raine Fire from Heaven upon your city and people
and destroy your city and people forever and ever
So say God on High.
And Fellow man. Thee have warning from
Father in Heaven to save tiny city and people. So
say God on high.
Z There is supposed to be method in his mad
ness, as he is Chicoite, and his threatened des
truction of Ororille is perfectly natural. Should
Smith continue in prison. and Bidwell be chosen
Governor, Oroyille may as well cease to pulsate,
and Feather river will have TO .dry mn . or emerge
from the mountains at Chico. We trust that Smith
will not get up his pyrotechnc exhibition until af-
ter the State Convention. Should Bidwell be NOM
mated for Governor, he may then let her rip 1t

A CARD

TO THE PATRIOTIC VOTERS OF BUTTE COUNTY.
Entertaining reasonable suspicion that shall
soon be called upon by persons acting in behalf of
the great Radical Republican Union party, and
that, by them l shall be strongly solicited and
earnestly urged to accept a nomination for the
responsible Office of GOVERNOR, beg leave to con-
vey to you the timely information that, owing to
the important nature and critical condition of my
private busness-namely. chickenraising-"ov
which l have no control" feel that duty compels
respectfully to decline the distinguished honor
which your wise preference for myself has deter
mined you, doubt to offer unto my acceptance.
Although it is possible that if you continue to insist
on my taking the position, (for which am pre-
eminently qualiied) may not be positively mex
orable and unylelding to your persuasions, but
finally may be graciously pleased to thankfully
yield my reluctant assent to your kind wishes (and
so let the chicken business go to the d--D, still
cherish a dubious hope that some less iliustrious
but more ambitious parsonage may be found even
more than willing to become our Gubernatorial
nominee, to the great relief and unspeakabe salts
faction of the worthy writer hereof.
With profound appreciation of the great favor
which my numerous friends presumed to be
anxious to bestow upon ME, | remain, gentlemen,
greatly gratified, and much obliged fellow citizen
and friend until death. SOLOMON SLuGGs.

Tar srxrEr OF FEATHER RIvER-Mr. Kedd

THE SrRrET OF FEATHER RIvER.-Mr. keddie,
the surveyor who has been examining the Middle
and North Forks Of Feather river, with view TO
O.he construction of a wagon road from OroviIle to
Beckwourth's Pass, passed through town on his
way below on Friday evening last. We did not
obtain from him the facts and figures relative to the
Middle Fork, saw him but a moment. He
will soon submit report of bis operations to the
wagon road company, when We shall have the facts
in regard to the Feather river route. He reports
canon on the Middle Fork at Bald Rock. of mile
in length, through which it was impossible to pass
in the present high stage of water. The sides of
this canon nearly solid rock through which the
stream has worn its way, and through which a
track would have TO be carved. This would be an
expensive spot for either wagon or railroad track
Aside from this we understood that Mr.. Keddie
found the route easy and practical for a road His
survey, however. did not extend above Hartman's
Bar, at which point there was some ten inches of
the line of survey covering the rocks and
rendering the progress of the party dangerous
The survey was stopped for the present at that
point, and the party started up Willow Creek for
Bucks Ranch on the American Valley stage road
The snow increased in depth as the party assembled
the mountain until it found eighteen or twenty
feet deep. Mr. keddie returned to the river at
Nelson Point, some twenty miles above Hartman's
Bar. and ran his survey from thence to Beck
wourth's Pass. This leaves broken line Of sur
Vey on the Middle Feather river route aud we pre-
sumo the North Fork will be adopted as the ronte
for the wagon road, although Mr.. Keddie reports
the Middle Fork the shorter route. We shall pre-
sent the survey far as it was made, as soon as
ii can hp attained il tn he reg refted that
any portion of the Middle Fork was left unsurvey-
ed. As it is, however, we understood Mr.. Kedde
to pronounce the route practicable; but it is prob
able that the North Fork win be adopted by the
company. as being the less expensive.
