FATAL AFrRAY-Two MEN KILLED. An
affray occurred at Millville, in this county,
on Tuesday last, which resulted in the death
of two men-John Freeman and David
Parks. 1t appears that Parks had become
partially intoxicated, and ed some harsh
words towards Freeman, and threatened
him with bodily injury, at the same time
brandishing revolver. Freeman left Parks,
procured q revolver, went to Anklin q
Tanquary's store, entered the building by
the back door, and passed through to the
front, where be met Parks, when both men
drew their pistols and fred at the same time.
Freeman fell at the first fire and died almost
Instantly. Parks fired several shots after
Freeman fell, and then staggered off few
PAGES and dropped dead also. A coroner's
jury was called, and examination showed
that Freeman had received four shots-one
in the body, one in the head, and two through
the left arm. Parks received only one shot,
the ball having entered at the pit of the
stomach and passing through the body. A
verdict was rendered in accordance with
these facts

PRIMARY ELEcTIoNs.-As the primary
elections of the Union party in this county
are to be held in accordance with the pro-
visions of the Primary Election Law, it is
important that the law should be well under
stood, especially by the supervisors appoint
ed to superintend the election Of delegates
In addition to the qualifications or test pre-
scribed by the Central Committe, any person
offering to vote at the primary meetings must
be a citizen of the United States, and quail
fed to vote in the county. (See Sec. 5. y
Now, to be qualified to vote on the first Of
June, one must be either enrolled in his
precinct or on the Great Register; and if
objection be made by any qualified elector,
the party Offering to vote must. among other
qualifications, be a - legal resident and voter
of the election precinct in which the vote is
offered" Any supervisor Of election who
neglects to enforce these provisions subjects
himself to a fine of not less than fifty nor
mere than five hundred dollars.

\ SUCKER PoET.-An Indiana paper gets
off the following:
A love sick Sucker sends US some doggerel
to print. Respectfully declined. Go and
tell the gal that you are fool without letting
everybody else know it. TO which the swain
returned US an answer:
THE gal knows it already. So do I. She
wants her lover to be famous. But l amt
Therefore do write. If you publish the
doggerel, perhaps l may be accounted the
biggest fool in this part of the country
That'll satisfy the gal amt particular.
Don't be envious, old fellow. There is room
for both Alexander and Diogenes.

SHASTA COURI E r.
SATURDAY MORNING, MAY Is, 1867.

MALcoNTENTs.- Every body or association
of men have among them a clique CT dIsat-
fected hangers.on who are constantly finding
fault and laboring to breed confusion and
disafection. They are so constituted by
nature that they find it utterly impossible to
favor anything of permanent character
They must have constant change and tur-
moil no matter at what sacrifice. Untortu-
natelv number of these malccntents afiict
the Union organization of this county, and
are endeayoring to breed disafection in its
ranks introduce discord in its councils, and
are plaving directly into the hands of the
Copperheads, who are encouraging them to
perseyere in their disorganizing efforts.
Two wears ago they attempted to accom-
plisb the same object for which they are now
striving and were only driven from their
nefarious purposes by the withering blast OF
loyal scorn and indignation which greeted
them on every hand. Therefore we cannot
reasonably expect these men to act honestly
and harmoniously with the Union party now,
when their attachment to It's principles was
not strong enough to deter them from at
tempting to break up the organization at a
time when the blood of Union soldiers was
still smoking upon the battle fields of the
South, and our banner was still draped with
the symbol of mourning for martyred Pres
ident. We warn all true Union men to be-
ware of the insidious advances of these semi
Copperheads. Their representations IN re-
gard to the character of straightforward
Union men are without foundation and
entitled to no credence whatever; and II
these slanderous reports do not cease, we
propose to give the names and ventilate the
characters of the parties inventing and cir
culating them, and expose their objects IN
doing so.

PAYS WELL.-Several rich mining claims
have been located on the divide between The
head of Dog Creek, in this county, and HalRs
Gulch, in Trinity county. The only difficulty
to be encountered in successfully working
these claims is the great scarcity of water at
that elevation. One man made six dollars
per day during the last month, and packed
his gravel distance of half mile in a -four
sack to get water to pan it out.

PLEAsANT.-The reception, on Sunday
evening last, of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Dobrowsky,
was certainly the most agreeable affair of the
kind, with one exception, that has taken
place in this town for many years. During
the evening large number of friends and
acquaintances of the newly married couple
called to offer congratulations, and wines,
cake and other refreshments abounded, and
everybody appeared pleased and gratifed.-
We hope the happy couple may enjoy un-
bounded happiness and long life.

Shortly afterwards the little fellows began to

crawling around on their feet. John then
put them with an old cat that was rearing a
litter of kittens, and were at once adopted
into the family. They are now hopping
around as lively as crickets.

Some days ago the Chief of Police received a
teles rIphic dispatch from the Police Depart
ment Of the city of New York, asking him to
lJok out for and arrest Aaron Meyer, on
charges of grand larceny and abduction
The dispatch stated that Never had stolen
some twenty-six hundred dollars worth Of
ladies' shoes, and had them on board the
steamer, and further, that he had abducted
a young German girl named Della Miller
The Montana arrived on Sunday morning,
and detachment of policemen were on the
look out for Mr.. Meyer, who was soon dis
covered and invited to visit the Office Of the
Chief Of Police. Arrived there, he was
catechised by ali hands. lie acknowledged
that be had lot Of ladies' shoes on the ves
sell and lot more coming, but exhibited
receipted bills for them. He explained the
abduction charge, by saying that Della and
himself had desired to get married, but her
parents had objected because he was jew
Not intending to let such objections stand
between him and bis love, he bad eloped with
her, and she was now with him ready to
explain whether she had been abducted or
not She was interrogated and affirmed that
she had not been abducted, but had eloped
because her ''cruel parents" could not see
that her happiness was bound up IN Meyers
carcass. On further investigation 1t was
discovered that they had been occupying the
same stateroom, and passing for man and
! wife, although they had not been married.
| They Chief of Police suggested that they had
better get married, to which Meyer respond
ed that he had run away from New York for
the purpose of doing So and he did not pro-
pose to 90 back on himself. A license was
accordingly procured, and the parties taken
before Rev. Mr. Briggs, who soon made them
man and wife. After the marriage Meyer
turned over all his effects to the Chief of
Police, and declared his intention of remain
ing in the city until the charge preferred
against him shall have been cleared up, and
the Chief of Police has permitted Meyer to
remain at large.-S. T. Call.
