Lockhart and Miller.

Rev. VIM. Fl. Hill, the Grand Master
ofthe |. O. O. F., in his journey from ShasA
ia to Yreka in company with Judge Ros-
borough, obtained macy items of Informs
tion from conversation with the Judge,
which are published in letter to the New
Age of st Saturday, and among them the
following concerning the narrow escape OF
Joaquin Miller, the poet, from death ut the
hands OF that old and we'll known Pit River
pioneer, Sam Lockhart:
Two brothers, twis, Sam and Henry
Lockhart, were owners Of ferry across the
Pit river, in 1852. The Winter following,
while Sam was absent in Shasta, the Indi.
ans made raid, and killed Henry and al
the white settlers in the vicinity of the
Ferry. This shock to the surviving broth.
er served to transf ,rm him into iend-
lie became hard drinker, and vowed 10
devote his life to the discovery and slaugh-
ter Of every Indian that he had any reason
to believe had anything to do with the
murder of his brother. And he carried out
that purpose till his very name was a terror
to all the Indians within hundreds of miles.
He was wanderer, and could not be 70.
strained by law or the entreaties of the
whites. On one Of his expeditions he
found Joaquin Miller, whom he suspected
of completely in his brothers murder, but
hid not yet proof enough to justify the
shooting of him on sight for Sam had su
inkling Of justice in his composition, and
did not wish to kill an innocent man.
But one that he, after satisfactory evidence
to hin. self, being judge, jury, and execu.
toner, having decided to be guilty, mol power
then existing could prevent the killing, at
some time. Of course, Miller protested his
innocence, but Sam throught there was
much OF circumstantial evidence against
him. lie brought his prisoner into Yreka
to consult with Judge Rosborough; for
Sam had all confidence in his opinion aud
judgment 1t was with difficulty that the
Judge, then only practicing lawyer in
Yreka, could persuade Sam that he was
mistaken in his suspicious, his only remark
being, "if he is guilty, l shall kill him sure"
After questioning and cross examining that
would have done credit to member of the
bar-Miller having been directed by the
Judge to be perfectly frank and truthful
Sam was at last satisfied OF his innocence
and permitted him to 90 unmolested.-The
lovers and admirers OF Joaquin Miller's
poetry may thank Judge R. that their "a
vorite did not receive his death from Sam
Lockhart's unerring rife, nearly twenty
years ago. Poor Sam continued his lawless
course, until he met with bloody death
in Idaho, while engaged in one of those
mining disputes which were decided by the
law Of the knife and pistol.

The last Legislature passed trespass
law for several counties in the State, saws
the Marysvilie Standard, and in some of
them this law was to apply to townships
only. This is the case in Butte, where
there is trespass law in force for the az
ricultural part of the county. But how is
this halt and half law working? In Butte
the farmers who tave crops unfenced ale
compelled to organize "Commttee of
Safety" to see that rowing cattle from other
parts,of the county do not eat up their grain.
In Colusa the law applies to all parts, while
in Suffer it is not in force-two adjoining
counties. What is the consequence The
stock interests in Colusa are thereby affect
ed. We understand that stock is being
driven from Colusa to Sutter, and that
Sutter is overrun with stock and its pastur-
age is being consumed

out, cut the threads down the back of the
fish, and cut the skin of the fish SO that in
taking off the cloth the skin will come of

A t1sEFUR ARTICLE.-Ammonia, or as

purposes. For washing paint, put table.
spoonful in a quart of moderately hot water,
dip in flannel cloth, and then wipe off the
woodwork no scrubbing will be necessary.
For taking greasy spots from any fabric,
use the ammonia nearly pure, then lay
white blotting paper over the spot and iron
it lightly. In washing lace, put about
twelve drops in pint of warm suds. To
clean silver, mix two teaspoonfuls of ammo
MIA in quart Of hot suds. Put in your
silverware and wash, using and old nail
brush or toofh-b brush for the purpose. For
cleaning hair, brushes, etc, simply snake
the brushes up and down 10 mixture of
one tablespoonful of ammonia to one pint
of hot water; when they are cleansed, rinse
them in cold water and stand h EN- in the
wind or 10 hot place to dry. For washing
6nger-marks from looking glasses or win
dows, put few drops of ammonia on moist
rag and make quick work of it. 1t you
wish your house plants to flourish, put few
drops of spirits in every pint of water used
IN watering. A teaspoonful will add much
to the refreshing effects of the bath. Moth
ing is better than ammonia water for clean
ing the hair. In every case, rinse off the
ammonia with clear water. To which We
would only add, that, for removing grease
spots, mixture of equal parts Of ammonia
and alcohol is better than alcohol alone /;
and for taking out the red stains produced
by the strong acids in blue and black clothes,
there is nothing better than ammonia.

the adopted by the state alliance in pledging
the children of our common and Sunday schools to
total abstinence.
Resolved, that while we cheerfully admit that
most Of the temperance sentiment of the country is

Resolved, that the republican party by its shut

We desire TO call the favorable attention ofthe
Congregationalists of Worcester, TO the cause of
our brethren in Chicago, as represented by Rev.
L. T. Chamberlain, pastor of the New England
church in that city. The storm of last Sunday
prevented very many from hearing his state

formation Of those who it is hoped will con-
tribute, that some communication ofthe general
facts be made through the press The simple
facts show how unparalleled is the distress we
