The Whisky Fiat Homicide

We learn that Joseph Farrell, who
killed William Baxter at Whisky Flat
March 25th. has been discharged from
custody by q Justice Of Mono county,
there being no evidence in the case but
his own. lie claims to have been
frightened ut the moment by the threat
ening actions of Baxter, and shot him
In selfdefense. just previous, 1t will
be remembered, Farrell had searched
his man for $G4, which he claimed
Baxter had stolen from him, and find
ing only n four-bit piece, he took that.
Some say he (Farrell) Is crazy. We
believe he is now in Palmetto. Bax-
ter lived n short time after the shoot
ing, but said nothing to throw any
light upon the subject. He was a ma
tive of Grand Gulf, Miss, and about
40 years of age. He was a little tel
low, being only five feet and one Inch
high, of fair complexion and blue
eyes. He Joined the United States
steamer Monocacy at Singapore, March
4, 1867, aud got an honorable discharge
at Hongkong. March II, 1870. He en-
tered rs an ordinary seaman, and rose
to be a sailmaker's mate and chief
Guartermaster; lie had a ship tattooed
on his right arm. A memorandum
book found on his body showed that he
wrote n beautiful hand, and 1t con-
tanned some fine crayon sketches of
scenery in various parts Of the globe.
The name "Charles Baxter" was
written inside n wallet lie had contain
ing!his papers.-Myo Independent.

The planet Mercury, which is sell
dom visible, can now be seen in the
western heavens, its e~longation from
the sun being ut the present time
about twenty-one degrees east. This
rare visitor, it Is said, can for a few
evenings be readily detected after sum
set, by Observing the following direc.
tions: Draw n line from Jupiter
through Venus, and extend it until the
prolongation reaches a point beyond
Venus about three-fourths the distance
between the two planets just men'
toned. This point will DO a short dis,
lance from Mercury, which can be rec,
ognized by Its fiery red hNe. Through
the telescope Mercury, it is stated, ex,
hibits the form of n crescent. 1t Is said
that the great astronomer, C~opernicus,
died at the age Of seventy, regretting
that he had never seen Mercury, the
misty horizon Of his observatory, on
the banks Of the Vistula, having con-
cealed this interesting planet from his
view.

The music was excellent, the pro,
gramme including many fine selections.
Prof Kryter presided at the piano forte,
and he was assisted by Mr.. Vaas on
the bass viol and Henry Was on the
violin. The choruses, Thank the Lord,
The German Fatherlsnd, joyful Life,
Joy in the Woods, Liberty and Glory
to the Lord, sang by the Sunday School
