FREAK OF NATURE-Mr. j. III. Duckwall
of the Southern Ranch in this county, has a
pig four weeks old which is q curiosity. From
the middle Of the body forward it is like other
pigs, from the middle back, the body tapers
similar to that of duck, with hind legs
about two inches long which are drawn UP
crossing each other, and stick out behind sim.
liar to the legs of duck when swimming.
1t moves about on its fcre legs with the other
pigs, holding the posterior part of its body
clear from the ground. 1t runs on its fore

SnoT.-Thomas Wilson q resident for some
years at Browns Flat in this county was shot
at a ranch on which he was living in Butte
County on Sunday the 4th of this month.
We take the following report from the Oro-
riHe Record of July 10th:
Considerable excitement was created in
town on Sunday afternoon by telegraph
dispatch from Chico, announcing that John
| Preston had shot and killed Thomas Wilson.
Both parties were toerably we'll known in
Orovile, the former having been employed
in our livery stables and by some Of our stock
men. A thousand reports as to the cause of
the shooting we're sdoat and they have
| scarcely vet settled into anything tangible
and presentible. The difficulty seems to have
| originated in the primary election ofdelegates
to the June County Convention, which was
hoty contested at that precinct between op
posing candidates. and gave rise or revived,
some reports preiudicial to Preston's charac-
| ter, Wilson and Preston met and talked over
the matter, the former giving his authority
| for the report. There was q colored man
named Chiders, employed on the Reoyis
ranch. where Wilson was also staying. Pres
| ton started for the ranch to find the colored
man, Wilson preceded him, and got Childers
out of the way. Meeting at the ranch, Will
son and Preston had some further conversa-
ton on the subject. which resulted in Pres
ton drawing derringer pistol and shooting
Wilson, the ball passing through the upper
portion of the right lung and lodging in the
cavity of the chest. Preston gave himself up,
| and was committed to Jail hy Justice Hallett,
in default of $40 900 bail He was brought
down on Monday 20 await the action of the
Grand Jury. Wilson was alive at last re-
ports, and slight hopes were entertained of
his ultimate recovery. He is brother of E.
B. Wilson, formerly of the Chico Press.

sailed on the steamer Actire from San Fran
cisco on Monday last for Alaska. He an

Acute and chronic rheumatism, as we'll as
gout, generally affect the joints, but other

their attacks. They are generally caused by

most effective remedy that can be used for
curing these painful affections, is DR.. Walk

Convention to devise ways and means for re.
tanning some kind of a grip on our public af
fairs. If there should be no more unanimity

than hearing themselves talk and make a

have ont blundered them and do not expect
they will break oyer that rule to-day. We

YOUTHFUL THIEvEs.-For some time
mast our storekeepers have been suffer-
inc from the attacks OF party OF TILL
tappers, whose operations have been
sudden. bold and dashing, and who
have managed to keep themselves I'M
known. On Saturday, September llth'
the drawer of Hubbard g. Bro. was rob-
bed of $50; on the Sunday following
McAfee's safe drawer was priced open
with a chisel and robbed of 50; from
Bassett's drawer some S. was stolen
and on yesterday the drawer OF shoe
store on Main street and that OF feter
French were cleaned out. Yesterday
afternoon the police got on the track Oh
the thieves and arrested three boys
John Schell, Albert Price and James
Gallagher, as the offenders, on war
rant sworn out by .. B. Hubbard be-
fore Squire Johnston. In the robbery
of Hubbard's drawer, the boys watched
through the window till they saw one
of the persons attending the store 60 up
stairs and the other 60 cut in the yard,
when they ran in and cleaned ont the
drawer. The Gallagher boy is only
about eight years old. They all con-
fesssed to the robbery. Price and Schell
were committed to Jail in default of
bail in the sum of $500 each. Gallagher
gave the required security. Schell will
be remembered as the boy whe robbed
his mother of Sl4OO in bonds, some time
ago. A Reform School is one of the
great needs of this State.

PRETTY GOOD FOR JACQUAsSE.-We
like good thing, even at our own ex-
pense, and Jacquasse, (Which is French
for John Donkey of the IntelHgencai
has actually published good thing on
US. We are satisfied that he is not such
fool as he looks-though about this
there are different opinions, some con,
tending that he is. We did look like a
prize OK, to be sure, as we came down
street with that wreath in our hands,
but the wreath was testimonial OF
good will offered by our German fellow
citizens, whose interests we had en-
deavored to promote, and in whose en-
joyments we had been made a sharer.
The Itelligencer local, fearing contact
with the Germans, did not attend the
concert on Monday, nor the festival at
the Fair Grounds on Tuesday. He is
too good too associate with the Clutch"
in their pleasures, and his paper too
holy to contain word in reference to
their celebration on Tuesday, and the
slight notice he publishedin Wednesday
mornings paper of the Monday nights
concert, was rewritten from the REGIS.
TIERS account, published on Tuesday
morning. While we think we have a
dead sure thing on the discovery of
Columbus by Young America, we think
that Jacquasse will discover that his
studied neglect of our German fellow
citizens and their interests will meet its
due reward.
