BURNED TO DEATH IN HIS CABIN. :

BURNED TO DEATH IN HIS CABIN. =
For years past gray-headed miner named
Debniy Pender has lived in frame cabin
on Jackass Flat, near the wagon road
Near daylight on the 22nd instant, some
member of the Hitler family. who live some
distance away on the samo fat, saw that
Peuder's cabin was in flames. and gave the
alarm Philip and Michael Hitler, and
another man, ran to the cabin, but when
they arrived the walls and roof had fallen
in, and nothing but smoke and burnius
embers could be seen for a time. After
the fire had somewhat died out, something
resembling the remains of human being
was observed In the ashes and Goals. and
Coroner Sch uler was notified to come out
and investigate matters.
On repairing to the site ofthe destroyed
cabin, Coroner Schuler, i,npanelled jury.
aad an examination showed that the remains
in the ashes were those of human heing,
and undoubtedly of Dennis Peuder.
The testimony taken shows that Pender
was dissipated man, and sometimes drunk
for whole week, and the conclusion gen.
orally is that his cabin caught FIRE through
his carelessness, and that he was too much
intoxicated to get out of the way of the
flames. His watchdog was also consumed
with the cabin.
The Coroner's jury, composed of U. r.
Lord, George Reese, T. Wynne, Peter
Wynne, Wm. Walsh, and James Lawler,
after hearing all the evidence adduced and
inspecting the remains, returned the fol-
lowing verdict:
We, the undersigned, jurors summoned
to appear before John Scbuler, Coroner
for the County of Shasta, at Jackass Flat
in said County on the 22nd day January
1872, to inquire into the cause of tha death
Of Dennis PeDder, having been duly sworn
according to law, having made such IN
QUESTION and inspected the body, upon our
oaths each and all do say: That we find
deceased was named Dennis Pender, aged
about 90 years. native of Irel,nd, that he
came to his death on the 22nd day OF
January 1872, in this County by the burn
ing of hi, cabin and whether the same was
accidental, intentional, or caused by the
hands OF others, we have no means OF
knowing.

TRINITY COUNTY.

We Gull the following items of interest
from the Trinity Journal:
Sutherlin, l.upp & McMurry have
already stripped twelve thousand feet of
bedrock with one months run of water
When it is considered that they will have
FIVE or six months more in which to sluice
it will be seen that they viii. be able to do
bi. work this season. They will strip not
less than sixty thousand square feet of bed
rock, and they know the ground to be good
To show the difference between this and
the preceding SEASONS, it is only necessary
to state that they VII get off as much
ground this year as they did during the
list three Winters.
A bill has been introduced in the Cali
forna Legislature by Hon. W. j. TinpiD
appropriating five thousand dollars for the
purpose of reimbursing Sheriff jackson for
his necessary expenses incurred in the
noted trial in which All Koo was Il com
plaiuiny witness and john Jackson defend
ant. From the record and especially from
the Judgment rendered in the matter, there
can be no question that the issue made and
the proceedings had weie to test the vail
dity OF ; tate law when compared with
the provisions of an act Of Congress It
appeared that there was substantial COO.
fict of law, and the California statute Of

making it a fine OF $1,000 and impriscu-

set fire to woods or forests in this State,

the San Francisco Bulletin Here in

thousands of settlers, who have waited
long and anxiously forthe U. S. Survey, in

TO the journal who have been receiving it
regularly for the past two or three years
without paying therefor must not expect
to receive 1t in the future on the some
terms Astonishing as it may seem, it takes
money to run newspaper.-Trinity Journ
al.
1t is the same with us. Our terms are
payment in advance, but We have allowed
number of subscriptions to run not only
to the end of the year but for two years and
over, and this gives delinquents an oppor-
tunity to plead the statute Of limitation on
part OF their accounts. But we have re-
solved to do business on the square here
after, and in no instance will subscription
be allowed to run bnger than year with
out payment, and at the expiration of the
year the paper will be stopped unless pay
ment is made. And we only extend credit
to the end Of the year to old and reliable
patrons of the paper, men whose accounts
on our books show that they have always
benn on hand when the year was up
Hereafter bills will be made out and sent
to each subscriber who has not paid in i'd
vance, so they may see just how they stand
and those who, on one pretext or another,
have allowed their accounts to run, must
settle up arrears.
Any one subscribing for the Union or
other papers published away from home, or
getting any kind of printing done below,
never think of doing otherwise than pay
ing in advance for the same, but some of
these same individuals think il all right to
let their accounts wi h their home paper
run indefinitely So we have resolved to
adopt the rule of advance payment, except
in the cases of mentioned above of those
we knew have never taken advantage of the
office in the course of business transactions
extending back for years, and always pay
promptly at the end OF the year. By this
rule we expect to lose thin. skinned sub
scriber occasionally. but we can afford to
lose all such, and still the COURIER will
continue to make its regular weekly ap-
pearancc What work we do hereafter we
expect to get pay for, and those who think
we are not entitled to pay for our labor,
are at liberty to transfer their peculiar kind
Of patronage to some other institution.
FURTHERMORE,
Printers have a professional pride and
independence about some matters, and we
do not ask or want the patronage of any
body who does not consider their paper or
advertisement benefits them to the extent
or MORE than the cost When a man takes
this paper, or advertiscs in it and pays US
our price. We do not consider that we are
under any special obligation to him. If he
dent consider himself benefited, he is fool
in business point Of view, to continue
spending money for that which be thinks
does him no good But we do not at pres
ent know of any such patronizing us, if we
did VIC would ADVISE them to discontinue at
once.
