UPSET AND RUNAwAY.-On Monday last, Mr..
VIM. Clement, while on the way to his ranch on
Reading Creek with wagon loaded with provi-
sions, met Mr. j. S. Hoyt, the Hay Fork express
man, who was coming this way-also in wagon.
The grade being narrow, Mr.. Clement turned
aside to allow the other team to pass, but one OF
his horses becoming unruly crowded his mate of
the bank, and the horses, wagon, Mr.. Clement and
his son, together with the load went rolling down
the hill into Weaver Creek, only a short distance,
however. The horses becoming disengaged started
down the creek at furious rate but were stopped
before they had gone far, by horseman who hap
pened to be coming this way. Mr.. Clement and
his son were luckily uninjured and no damage
was done except to the wagon.

CHINAMAN MURDERED.--A Chinaman who
lived at the end of the alley through Chinatown,
was found murdered on Monday morning in the
little shanty where he lived The body, when
found, was lying on his bed IN such position as
to convey the idea that he had been stabbed while
sitting the side of the bed and had fallen back
ward. Coroner Bachelor summoned jury of
six men, who, after hearing such evidence as
could be adduced, returned a verdict to the effect
that the deceased was about 40 years of age a ma
tive of China, that his name was Ching Fong,
and that he came to his death by the hands of some
person unknown to the jury. DR.. j. C. Montague,
who made post mortem examination of the body,
expressed the opinion that the deceased had been
stabbed at some other place and carried to his
house after life extinct which opinion he based
upon the fact that scarcely any blood was visible
where he was lying. Ching Fong a Chinese
money lender, and doubtless was killed for what
money he was possessed Of, as the lock of box
which it is supposed contained his valuables was
found upon the table, bearing the appearance OF
having been forced

Having purchased the material heretofore used in

lowing, at the request of Mr.. Vincent Ryan, late

to be filled up by the JOURNAL, as per agreement
with the publisher of the Press where the parties

FREIGHT.-Much has already been said regard
ing the change in the rates charged for the trans
portation of freight from San Francisco to Red
Bluff, recently made by the Central Pacific Rail
road Company. AS we understand the matter,
freight is divided into four classes and rates fixed
accordingly as follows First Cass-which in
cludes all heavy freight, such as hardware and a
large proportion of groceries, etc.,-Sl5 per ton !;
Second Class-heavy yet bulky freight, such as
boots and a certain class of dry goods and clothing
$50 per ton Third Class-light and bulky-$45
per ton and Fourth Class-very light, bulky and
easily damaged, such as furniture-S60 per ton.
Mr.. John Martin, who has been closely connected
with the freight matters of this county for num-
Der of years, tells us that great part of all the
freight for this section under the First Glass
and not onetenth part of it above the Second
Glass and that the average charge for freight,
under the new arrangement is less than it was
during the existence of the California Steam Nav
igation Company.
