DEATH OF DANIEL BLAIR-The Col
usa Sun of the llth inst has the subjoined
particulars of the death of Daniel Blair,
brother of j. D. Blair, Esq, Whiskytown.
From the Crawford (Pa.) Journal of
October 10Th, we learn of the violent death
of Daniel Blair, one of our Oldest and most
esteemed fellow citizens Mr. Blair can
to California in 1850, and to Colusa coun-
ty in 1858, and settled on Freshwater
creek, about eighteen miles from town
He remained in that neighborhood until
this Summer, when he went on a visit for
the first time to his relatives in Crawford
county, Pennsylvania. 1t seems that Mr..
Blair had been with his sister, Mrs. White,
of Illinois, also on visit "home," to the
funeral of his brotherin law, Mr. Bole,
and on their return while crossing the
railroad track, we're struck by locomotive
and both were instantly killed. We have
known Mr.. Blair ever since he came to this
county, was his nearest neighbor for some
years, have had dealings with him, and al
ways found him honest and upright-always
willing to do unto others as he would have
others do unto him. He was quiet, un-
assuming man, attended always strictly to
his own business, and had no enemies
His wide circle of acquaintauces here will
mourn his fate. Mr.. Blair was aged 81

1t is an axiom among gentlemen that no
man can be well dressed unless he wears
good hat The hat has always been
considered most important article of dress
in all ages, and has been apostrophised in
the song-"When this old hat was new"
though we think it would be heavy tax
on the memory to look that far back into
the past of some of the "tiles" occasionally
seen on the streets of Shasta. These re.
Aections upon the subject of hats were

A CURIOUS case of kleptomania has
come to light in Lawrence, Mass. A
burglar, after breaking into house was
captured, shot, and carried to the lookup.
Although his wound was slight, it was
agreed that the surgeon should tell him
that he would not live. more than an hour,
in order to draw confession from him.
The burglar, after exacting solemn
promise from his captors that ali the pos
session should be handed over to his wife,
confessed that he was the author of many
burglaries that had been committed in that
region, and that he had secreted in Ash
Grove Church, in Albany, under the pull
pit, two tin boxes filled with gold and
silver ware, and in his room on Arch street
in that city, several hundred dollars in
bank notes, around the wainscotting OF the
windows, and in other places also, that
his real name was Carrel Sanborn, and
that he worked for Mr.. Mcdonald IN
Albany. He then handed over 81 800 in
greenbacks, saying that according to the
agreement that sum, with So0O In the
savings bank in Albany, and some S40O
more secreted in his room, should be given
to his wife, He had not robbed for money,
he said, but for the pleasure of it; it was
a mania which came over him at times,
and which he could not shake off until he
broke into some place. The dark lantern
found in his possession is marvel of per
fection, and was made by himself. San
born's wife, who resides in Bristol, n. H.,
was shocked when she hear of his arrest,
as she supposed he was at work in Albany
All the money and property was found
concealed in the places indicated.
