New STYLE OF DIvoRcE-Indian Jim
has recently been sick, says the Humboldt
Register, and imagined his wife was the
cause thereof So Jim wished for disso-
luton of the marriage bonds, and applied
to Justice" Jack" Manda's Jack,p as
he is called hereto sever the ties that
bound him and his wife together. Jack
responded and accomplished the deed
most efectually and without much cere-
nony, by taking the squaw out some little
distance and shooting her, and then burned
the body. We understand the proper au-
thorities are investigating the affair, and
will endeavor to prevent recurrence of
such savage outrages. The Indians say
1t is an old established custom among them,
and are not disposed to have the whites
interfere with their regulations.

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates dupe
the unwary. Some of the sef-styed doctors.
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some tinsmiths, shoemakers.
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office keepers, &C.
Look over the San Francisco directory and YOU
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1852 and 1868. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
as advertising physicians in eight out of ten
are bogus, there is DO safety IN trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are. Dr.
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
