SHASTA COURIER.

VoTING.-U Unusual care will have to be
taken by voters on Election day, the Polit-
ical Code having made many changes in the
manner of voting as well as in the style of
ballots adopted All printed ballots must
be twelve inches long and four inches wide
the ticket.printed in the centre the pa
per being a pink-tint white. No mark
can be made either upon the face or back
of the ticket whereby it can be told who
voted it, nor can marked tickets be cireu-
lated. No ticket must be given to any one,
or folded or shown to any one, and no one
must be told how you are going to vote
within hundred feet of the polls. All
tickets must be folded four times from the
center crosswise, pressed fat, and be three
fourths of an inch wide when voted. Any
one folding two tickets together is guilty
of misdemeanor, and such ballots must
be thrown eut by the judges. IF these re-
quirements are not complied with, the bal
lots are liable to be rejected. We have
stated these important points for the con-
sideration of voters and refer them to the
law published with the Governors procla-
nation in the COURIER for further infor-
nation.
CERTIFIcATEs-We again allude to this
matter, as there are still number of GER
.tifcates of cancellation at the Clerks office,
not accompanied by the. necessary afhda-
Wit which must be made before the appli.
cant can be entered upon the Great Regis
ter. The affidavit must state name, age,
citizenship Gfnaturalized or native );occupa-
ton, and local residence; that he has re-
sided in the State six months next proceed.
ing the application, in the election precinct
thirty days and that he is citizen of the
said county of Shasta IF naturalized, the
time place and Court in which it was done
must be stated in addition. This affidavit
can be made before any officer qualified to
administer oaths, and without it certif.
cate of transfer avails nothing. When the
affidavit is made the Clerk furnishes a
certificate of Registration which the voter
must exhibit to the Election Board when
he offers his vote.
CIRoUs.-John Wilson's Consolidated
European, New York and San Francisco
Circus will perform in this place on Tues
day, Nov. 18th, at 2 o'clock, P. NJ. and
7 o'clock at night. They play at French
Gulch on Monday, Nov. 11th; Redding,
Wednesday, Nov 18th Red Bluff, Thurs
day, Nov. 18th. Mr.. Wilson has been at
an expense of twenty thousand dollars in
fitting up this mammoth organization, and
has met with the greatest success at the
State Fair at Portland, Oregon and all
the towns en- route to this place, and our
people may anticipate most pleasing per-
formance. Lack of space in orr paper
prevents US from accepting a two column
advertisement from DIR. Haskell, the Gen
.eral Agent of the Great Show.
FTwAs EVER Thus &c."-Just as we
had settled to the conclusion that we had
received new lease Of editorial life, the
"devil," who seems to delight in thwarting
hopes Of a Christian, disturbed our morning
slunlbers by the rude announcement that
''the boss got home last night" Sorrow
fully do we write it down, but such is'the
fact, and we must be content to play "sec-
ond fiddle" in the future. We have but
one consolation-if second Rackerby un-
corks the vials of his wrath on the editorial
head, it won't be ours that suffers.-Our
boss looks well on his return and we should
say the feed of Egypt agrees with him
hugely.
A NOTED Casa case has been on
trial in Justice Knox Court, the third trial
of which concluded yesterday. On the
first trial all but ten of the jurymen saw
how the case stood at once--the ten couldn't
be made to see it and the jury were dis
charged. ..On the second trial, all but elev 4
ofthe jurors knew the prisoners innocence
and that jury was discharged The third tri
al ended in another disagreement the jury
standing 8 for conviction to for acquittal
We are not advised what further steps will
be taken by the prosecution.
We clip the following from the Troy IN.
" Whig:
''Some three months since Dr. RV. Pierce
OF Buffalo, n Y. commenced advertising in
the Wing. an article called CDR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. We believed at that time
it was one of the many catch penny arrange
. ments to swindle people out Of their money,
but during the past few weeks have become
convinced to the contrary. We know OF
several prominent citizens who have suffered
from that loathsome disease sCatarrh. 4" and
they pronounce DIR. Sage's Remedy no hum
r bug, and in several instances have been en-
tirelv cured. We desire to give Dr. Pierce
the benefit of the same
