INDIAN Tox.-Last week Under Sher1n
Jackson received information that Indian
Tom was stopping at Digger campoody
near Churntown, and on Saturday last ano-
ther attempt to capture him was made.s Ac-
companed by several assistants, jackson
repaired to the rancheria, which was imme-
diately surrounded. The camp was snrPris-
ed. and in The confusion which followed Tom
bounded cut of one Of tie bark huts and
made for the brush like deer. Jackson, the
only one of the party who recognized him,
Immediately covered him with double bar
relied shot gun, but the gun having been car
ried several hours in a heavy rain, the cap
on the first barrel failed to burst, and the cap
on the second barrel did not burst until the
second trial, and by that time the savage
was out of range. jackson was compelled
to return without his game, greatly chagrin-
ed at his bad luck.

Coon JoKE.--A few years ago the Repub-
licans of Ohio had the motto The Union
Right or Wrong" printed on their tickets
Last year the Democrats had a majority in
the Legislature of that State, and, offended
at the motto on the Republican ticket cast
against them, the Legislature passed an act
providing that in the future tickets should
only bear the names of the candidates and
the Offices to be filled. In conformity with
this law the Republican ballots were printed
minus the usual motto; but the Democrats
Of Monroe county were not ''posted, and
voted tickets headed with flaming scroll on
which was printed 'The White Mans Gov
men," In obedience to the requirements of
the statute, the Board of Canvassers threw
out all the Democratic votes of Monroe

business, at Grotefend's old stand As both
members of the firm are experienced bust

mary success are decidedly hattering.

DOMESTIC INFELICITY.- from Eagle
Creek report that resident of that neigh
borhoed committed shameful outrage this
week by brutally beating bis wife and one of
his children. The woman was beaten so Sc
verely that she could scarcely walk, and in
that condition was put out of the house and
kept out all night. A separation will proba-
bly, be the result, as the injured woman has
taken refuge at neighbours house, and
ayows her intention to never subject herself
to such treatment again.

SroLEN.--A lady's hat and breakfast cape
was stolen from Mrs. Greenc's Hotel in the
fore part of the week, and Digger called
Jim was arrested on suspicion of having
committed the theft. As no direct evidence
could be obtained against the vagabond, he
was discharged from custody. In searching
the rancherias near town for the missing arti
cles, number of garments and miscellane-
Gus articles were found hidden away, some Of
which were recognized as having been stolen
within the past few months. There is no
doubt that the citizens of this town are per-
.mitting regular crowd of petty thieves to
harbor under their noses, and in this partieu-
lar Shasta enjoys distinction possessed by
no other town in the State.

WHITE PINE.-There is no doubt that
White Pine mining district, Nevada, con-
tains the richest and most valuable gold and
silver mines in the world. The ore taken
from the Eberhardt mine yields thousond of
dollars to the ton already, and the claim is
very imperfectly developed. The Bank of
California has offered $780, 900 for a controll-
ing interest in this mine. but the offer was
declined, with the assurance that the Bank of
California. could not raise money enough to
purchase controlling interest. E. S. Bar
ney, Red Wheeler. and a number Of other
former residents of this county have obtained
valuable interests in White Pine, and are
confident that their fortunes are secured.

in a number of gulches emptying into that
stream. They then concluded to spend the
winter in mining in that locality, but the
chief Of the McClou1 Indians visited their
camp and told them that no white men would
be allowed to mine on that river, as it would
muddy the water and drive away the fish
from the stream.

order to pass the necessary appropriation

sion by resigning their seats and leaving the

coupled with general amnesty for past polit-
ical offenses. They also call for the assem-

tuition preparatory to seeking re.admssion
into the Union. This is an important move
ment, and shows that the disposition to qui-
etly accept the Congressional policy of recon
struction is rapidly spreading among the
conservatives of the South. As general am
nesty has already been proclaimed, negro

MURDER.-Last week a man named
Long shot and killed VIM. Tiffany, at Deer
Greek, below Tehama. under the following
circumstances Long and Tiffany had been
engaged in game of cards, and after con-
cluding the game they went outside of the
house and sat down to talk over the result of
the game, about which one of them was dis
satisfied. While conversing On this subject
Long drew his pistol and deliberately shot
his companion through the heart. This is
said to be the third man that Long has kill
ed, and his general reputation is that of a
treacberous and blood-thirsty desperate. The
Sheriff Of Tehama county arrested Long, and
he is now in jail at Red Bluff, awaiting the
action of the Grand Jury. We have heard a
number of wagers offered that the murderer
would be acquitted of the crime, which pro
positions were ventured on the hypothesis that
no criminal ever yet received his just deserts

THE OLD THING.-Previous to the Presi-
Dental election the Sacramento Reporter and
s. +. Examiner constantly paraded the result
OF every town election that happened to 90
Democratic, under the heading of " Another
ground SWELL" the tide turning.n Radi-
calism doomed, etc., and proceeded to argue
that the Democracy would sweep the country
in the Presidential fight The result did not
sustain their predictions, but nothing daunt-
ed, they have recommended the old song, and
the last number of the Reporter congratu-
lates its readers upon the fact that the Dem
ocrats Of Portsmouth, N. H.. elected their
candidate for Mayor. Notwithstanding the
fact that Grant carried the city few weeks
previous by several hundred majority. This
result satisfies the wise seer of the Reporter
that Republicanism is on the wane and that
the Democracy have dead thing on the
next Presidential election. Try a new tune !;
that is the old thing, and even Democrats
are no longer entertained by it.
