FuRruER PARTICULARS OF II MURDER

dispatch TO one OF ouE
changes, dated Mokelumne Hill, CAL,
September so, we learn that Mr.. Said
who was Superintendent OF the Petit
coat mine, u, Railroad Flat, and not q
partner in it, as has been stated-was
on the road TO Mokelamne Hill that aft
eruoon between ) and 1 O'Clock, in q
buggy with Mr.. Meek and Mr.. Reese,
with gold bullion from the mine amount
ing to about 5 $1,000, when suddenly
four masked men stepped out from u
small pine thicket, aud without any in
timation fred, instantly killing Said.
Meek jumped out aud ran, but was
caught and robbed Of SEQ. When the
gun was fred the horses started to run
and Reese caught the lines, whipped
up the team and went on to Mokelumne
Hill with the body of Said, thus escap-
ing also with the treasure. Mr.. Said
was shot in the mouth, the ball coming
out behind the left ear. Strongly
armed posses Of officers and citizens
started ont after the murderers, and 1t
is to be hoped that some or all of the
villains may soou be brought to justice.
"Kiuney Said" was in early times con-
nected with several mines in thi! vicin-
ity and has many friends living here ;
also in Sierra County, California, where
he resided for some years.
Nor So.-The Superintendent OF the
Pacific Mill, Charley MeWilliams, iu-
forms us that no blame whatever can
be attached TO the engineer of the mill,
in the case of the death Of Mr.. Griswold,
n few days ago-notwithstanding the
Trespass Of last evening made insiDua-
tions that somebody now living was
culpable. The engineers position was
so far away from the sad accident that
i, was entirely impossible for that oti-
Ger to know anything of it until in
formed BY u workman who stood within
four feet of the accident, and who, on
seeing his friends awful position,
rushed, at the peril of his W life, over
dangerous machinery to the engine
room, and as soou as possible had the
machinery stopped, which was done so
iustantaneously by the engineer that
considerable damage was done to the
works. Nobody can regret the death oil
the unfortunate young man, Griswold,
more than the engineer, the Superin-
tendent, and his fsllow-workmen-who
all feel that no blame can possibly at
tach to them for want Of promptness or
"presence of mind" in those few mo-
mcnts Of peril to their friend. The in
situations Of our contemporary are ILL
advised and unmerited.
CLUB MEErIG LAST NIGHr.-One Of
the largest and best meetings Of the
Union party in Gold Hill assembled
nj Theatre Hall last night, to listen to
q speech from Hon. Thomas Fitch, can
didate for Congress. The theatre
was jammed with NJ appreciative audi
ence, which manifested its sentiments
by frequent and universal shouts of APP
plause as the talented and truly eloquent
speaker made apparent the inconsiSt-
encies of the so-called Democratic party
in their relations to the Federal Gov
ernmcnt. Mr.. Fitch spoke for nearly
two hours, and made the most sensible,
instructive aud really argumentative
speech we have heard during the CAM
paigu-aud we were truly pleased to
see so many people present to hear him.
We doubt not he will receive the entire
vote Of the Union party in Gold Hill on
election day-and perhaps even some OF
the Democratic votes. Fitch is decided
ly q representative man of this young
and iourishing State.
CURE FOR THE SNALL-rox.-ln view Of
the great furore relative to the small
JOY now raging $50 fercely at Virginia
City, we give the following cure for
that dread disease, furnished by n cor
RESPONDENT Of the Alta. 1t is said to
have been discovered by IN English
army surgeon in China When the
fever is at its hight, just before the
eruption appears, he rubs the chest OF
the patient with crotOn oil and tartaric
ointment, which causes the whole OF the
eruption 10 appear in that region, and
thus relieves the rest of the body It
is further stated that this cure is now
enforced By general orders in the En-
glish army in China, aud always sue
ceeds. In another column We publish
still another cure for smallpox. In
case we should come across any more
we will publish them all. Even in case
no one has occasion to take any of them
for the smallpox, if they will use them
all freely by way Of ~preventives it will
make the drug business lively at any
rate.
