CARRYING THE WAR INTO AFRICA
On Saturday night dispute arose between
two gentlemen of the colored persuasion,
named Henry Hines and Wellington
North, in Fosters saloon, on Third street,
where colored gents do most congregate,
especially on Saturday night. Hines
who belongs to the pure and undultered
race of alleges that his lighter
skinned companion, North, stigmatized
him as "a black moke, niger" etc.,
and he in return for the compliment replied
in substance, that he rejoiced in the fact
that the blood in his veins was free from
the tint of that of "white trash" and ex-
patiated upon the greater homer of being
able to trace his lineage back to the ancient
tribes of " Afric's burning sands" The
interesting debate was cut short, according
to his story-by North drawing a pocket
knife and striking at him. He partially
lodged the blow, as he sat in chair, and
received only slight cut on the ear, upon
which he walked off and left his adversary
master of the situation, evidently not being
well pleased with his style of argument.
Yesterday Hines procured warrant for
the arrest of North, and we presume the
matter will engage the attention of the
Police Court Sac Record.

but recovering himself, tried to tell the
boys how to escape such fate.

of the Indians who were the murderers of
Partridge and Coburn, at Deephole Springs,
III Lassen county, some four months since.
were captured about month ago at Sur
prise Valley, and after being confined a
short time, managed, through the aid of
some other Indians, to escape. They turn
ed up short time afterward in the vicinity
OF Reno, Nevada, where they were recog-
nized and again arrested \ party of men
were sent from Honey Lake Valley after
them, and the Indians proving troublesome
on the road. they opened Judge Lynch's
Court, tried them, brought in a verdict of
guilty, and quietly despatched them by
shooting them four times each. They

JOHN c. BRECKINRIDGE and Hum

the other day, and Mr.. Breckenridge told
the following story of the war, which it is
to be hoped that his fat friend appreciated
When Gen. Pegram was preparing to march
his troops into Kentucky, Marshall, who
did not like poaching upon his preserves,
Intellectually warned him not to come, and
at last sent word that any troops which
attempted to enter Kentucky would have
to pass over his dead body Pegrem re-
piled that it would be too much to expect
that of his artillery, q but if he found the
obstacle in his way he would Immediately

in the county this year than last, and
geese and ducks are later than usual in
making their appearances in the vicinity
of the mouth of Cottonwood, one of their
favorite rendezvous Rabbits are numer-
Gus and ranchers assert that they are be-
coming plentier each year. Several bear
have been slain on the upper Sacramento
within the last few weeks, and we have
heard of the killing Of two paIthers or Cal
ifornia lions within the limits of the county
since the 1st inst. Deer have lately made
their appearance in the low hills bordering
the valleys in larger numbers than usual,
and sportsmen are having good success in
killing them. The low hills bordering the
lower Cottonwood valley are fairly alive
with these animals which are attracted
thither by the plentiful supply of acorns
that has fallen from the trees.

HEAVY ON BABIEs-A prominent
San Francisco physician has published an
article in Che Medical Gazette of that city,
in which he gives frightful account of
the way in which infants are killed by Mrs.
Winslow's Soothing Syrup. The writer
after experimenting with the nostrum, says;
The analysis revealed the fact that if
the printed directions accompanying the
medicine are followed, an infant Of six
months is in danger of being dosed with
opium to an extent which would hardly be
safe for an adult. The annual sale of this

The month of beauty, the month OF
song, the month of all the monthsi is June.
The birds, with all their wealth. OF voice
and plume, are with us now. They are
calling to us from the forest, challenging
one another in the meadow, piping in the
orchard, flashing through the shrubbery,
building in the porches, dancing in the
threshold, and peering into our dwellings
with disdainful looks, which seem to say,
"How rude, how dull, how gloomy, are
your homes !" Sit down, pray you, with
me, in my quiet library here, this pleasant
afternoon, and will have familiar chat
with you about some of our birds, their
manners and their melodies. See, yonder,
