Deputy Sheriff Lincoln and posse,
from Santa Cruz, in searching for the
gang of the notorious bandit, Proco-
piO, or Red Dick, who shot Officer
LiddelI in a raid on Santa Cruz on
Sunday last, discovered some of the
gang, yesterday, secreted under some
hay in a barn in the Santa Cruz
mountains, near Vine Hill. A fight
ensued. A Spaniard, who proved to
be PanchO Barcame, began firing rap
idly from a revolver, but a vOlley
from the posse laid him dead. A
party, ascertained to be Procopio, who
was desperately wounded by LiddelI
in the fight on Sunday, was within
hearing when the fight began yester-
day, bat was hurried away in buggy
by his comrades. Marcias ROderi-
guez, another of the gang, was arrest
ed at Monterey yesterday.

An eminent Judge used to say that,

ever said by witness TO a counsel
was the reply given to Missing, the
barrister, at the time leader OF his cir
cult. He was defending q prisoner
charged with stealing donkey. The
prosecutor had left the animal tied up
to gate, and when he returned it
was gone. Missing was very severe
in his examination OF the witness.

donkey was stolen from that gate?"

The course of the market continues
strong, and the tendency of all cotton n
wooden fabrics is still upward. This ad-
vancing tendency stimulates the mand
for cotton goods, especially for standard
sheetings. Many buyers who usually
take one bale, now buy five or six bales.
Trade during the week has been active
for the season, but it is chiefly on orders
and for staple articles. A noteworthy
feature in cotton goods is the scarcity of
min brown s~heetings, and they have adj
vanced 2@3c. per yard for A goods
weighing about TOUR yards to the pound.
Light prints are selling at the prices cur
rent last week, but dark cnlors are not
offered except at a further advance of a
&c. per yard.
Collections are slow and backward, but
perhaps, no worse than usual at this sea-
son of the year..

Disease and Eledicine.

There is perhaps no fact more thor
oughly established or more generally ac-
knowledged by those versed in medical
science than that q large majority of the
diseases to which the human family is
subject have their origin in a disorgan-
lied condition of the stomach and bowels.
When the acids of the stomach have lost
their power to act promptly and properly
on the food introduced into it, digestion
is at once impeded, and headaches, fever,
heartburn, constipation, piles, skin erup-
tions, nausea, dizziness, &C., will be
the inevitable result. When food is not
properly digested, the life-giving prin-
ciple which it contains is not extracted
the whole system is thereby deprived OF
the nourishment nature designs it should
receive; the channels of evacuation are
choked up, and the blood. instead of re-
ceiving the healthful invigorating, vital
izing properties OF the food consequent
upon perfect action of the digestive fluid,
and secretions, becomes ~imprcguated
with poisonous matter, thrown off from
the undissolved substances in the stom-
ach and alimentary canal, and thus dis
ease, pain, and the seeds of death are
