MoUNTAIN SHEEP KILLED. The early
part of the present week ID. C.-familiar-
ly known as Doc - Bagley killed two
mountain sheep on Little Shasta, near
the residence of Mrs. General Martin.
Though the mountain sheep is usually
very wild, these were very tame and
scarcely made an effort to get away.
Having approached to within short
distance Of where they were laying, ap-
parently unobserved by them, Bagley
made noise, causing them to jump up,
when he shot the larger one. The other
ran away but he pursued and soon sue
ceeded in getting shot at it. They were
to be seen for day or two at John Fo-
all's butcher shop in town, where they
were viewed by citizens as quite curiosi-
ties. The larger one weighed-the en-
trails out, but skin and head on-200
pounds. They have enormous horns,
shaped something like rams horns but
three or four times as large-a short deer
like tail, and coarse, but not harsh, hair
blush or mouse colored. The meat is
esteemed as quite a delicacy. F. Rogler,
the druggist, purchased their heads and
intends forwarding them to some friends
in Germany Yrekd Union.

DOUBLE TAXATIoN.-Of the late de-
cision in the San Francisco tax cases the
Record says: There is no practical
difference of opinion in regard to the ulti-
mate issue, all the Judges holding that
though property should not be taxed
twice, the Savings Banks must pay their
taxes as assessed. 1t is held that the
meaning of the constitutional declaration
all property must be taxed is almost
too clear to admit of construction, and
that if the result of taxing all property be
to produce double taxation, while the
evil may be onerous and manifestly op-
pressive, the Courts cannot interfere
unless it also appear that some provis-
ion of the Constitution has been violated
in the enactment of the law The .ulti-
mate outcome may be summed up as a
decision that the State Constitution pro-
vides for double taxation, and until the
Constitution can be altered it would seem
that this conclusion must remain" The
effect of this last decision will probably
be to restore to the assessment roll of this
county a great deal of property which
under the ruling of the State Board Of
Equalization had been passed over.

SERENADED.-Last Saturday evening
the Shasta brass band serenaded John S.
Follansbee and family, and while the
music was being discoursed number Of
citizens collected TT the Majors residence.
After rendering few appropriate airs,
the band and all present, were invited
inside and served with refreshments. DR..
Shurtleff delivered some appropriate re-
marks on the occasion, and although Mr.
Follansbee was taken completely by sur
prise at the whole affair, he responded in
an eloquent speech which did credit
both to his head and heart.
Mr.. Folnnsbee and family left for their
new home in San Francisco on Monday
evening, and Il large crowd assembled on
the occasion to bid them good by and
wish them future success Courier.

CosTs OF SQUIRRELs.-Ati its last ses-
sion the Contra Costa County Board of
Supervisors audited certificates of boun-
ties for squirrels and gophers killed to
the amount of 81, 800, and there remains
certificates to be audited to the amount
of between So, 900 and $4,000. AS squir-
rel scalp is worth five cents, the total
amount of certificates represent the death
of some l40, 600 squirrels. II is estimat-
ed by careful observers that the damage
done by squirrels in Contra Costa county
amounts to S250,OO0 annually.

. ASSEMBLY CLERK the Republican
candidate for Clerk of the Assembly, the
JOURNAL prefers Marcus d. Boruck, of
San Francisco, for good and substantial
reasons. He has held the position of
Chief Clerk of the Assembly on two for
mer occasions, and discharged the duties
of the position with an ability which can
not be excelled. The amount of legisla-
ton two years ago was unusually large,
nevertheless, for the first time in the leg
islative history of the State, a succeeding
Assembly will not be called upon to pay
for work left undone by its predecessor
AS reader Boruck has no superior, his
deep, heavy voice can be easily heard in
any part Of the Assembly Cham Der, and
those only who have served legislative
term know the need Of good reader to
occupy the Clerks desk. He is always
prompt at his place, and confines himself
strictly to the duties of his position, new
er using his influence or lobbying for or
against any Of the measures before the
house. No one can be urged for the po-
sition more honest or more capable.
Mr.. Boruck has bitter political enc
mics, for he is an active, outspoken party
man, but the most malignant of his op-
ponents are unable to fasten upon a single
act of his, either as an official or citizen,
that will not bear the closest scrutiny
The times are such as test the mettle of
the Republicans Of this State-men in
high position, placed there by the Repub-
lican party, have deliberately and to the
extent of their ability betrayed the party
to the enemy. Those who are Republic
ans from principle, and intend to stand
by what they believe TO be right without
considering whether it is popular or not,
should stand flrmer than ever, and put
forward as their representatives none but
tried, unfinching and capable men,
Mr.. Boruck was bitterly opposed by the
Union and Bulletin two years ago, and
no doubt they will renew their opposi-
ton. 1t may also be the fact that Mr..
Boruck's election would be particularly
distasteful to our back salary abiding
Governor, but these facts should only
unite Republican sentiment in favor OF
Boruck.

ARCHY LEE.-In the Record of Mon
day is a little reminiscence of history,
which sounds little strange at the pres
ent day. In 1859 young man from one
of the Southern States come to this coast,
bringing with him his negro boy, Archy,
then nineteen years of age. Archy soon
learned the difference between free and
slave soil, and when his master under
took to take him back with him, claimed
his liberty and refused to go. Then en-
sued scene of excitement second only to
that occasioned by the arrest of Anthony
Burns. The State Courts were appealed
to, and on final hearing before the Su-
preme Court, Archy was delivered to his
master who started TO San Francisco
with him. Arriving at that city, the ex-
element was renewed. A wri: of habeas
corpus was sworn out and Archy was
taken before Judge Freelon. The mas
ter, tired of State interference, released
rested under the famous or rather in
famous Fugitive Slave Law" and taken
before United States Commissioner Geo.
Penn johnson. There the decision was
given that Archy was not a fugitive slave
and he was restored to liberty. Little
did the actors on either side of that scene
think that ere decade of years had pass
ed, the curse of slavery would be Danish
ed from the soil of our whole country,
that its courts would no more be Appealed
to to rivet the chains of the oppressed.
The sequel does not show that Archy
was much benefited by his acquired free
dom. A few days ago some boys were
playing near the bank of the river oppo,
site Sacramento, and saw the head of
man above the ground. Men went to
the spot and there found a man sick, and
covered in the sand. 1t was Archy Lee,
who had covered himself with sand to
keep warm. He was taken almost against
his own wishes, and furnished a lodging
in the station house.

A PAST CENTENNARIAN.-There is
Mexican lady at the Mission of San Ga
briel who is 1874 years old. Her husband
started as a soldier, with Junipero Serro,
the founder Of all the Missions of Cali
fornia, and she followed him a short
time afterward. She was buxom, mid
dle-aged woman when the Mission of San
Juan Capistrano was built. AS an eter-
nal warning to people addicted to tobacco,
we will state that this antique dame has
doubtless shortened her existence several
years by using the weed, for she is an
inveterate smoker, and its i'll effects are
readily detected in the lines of premature
old age which furrow her brow. The
old lady converses freely and pleasantly,
and to one who speaks Spanish, an inter-
view with her is Of the most interesting
character.-L An9etcs Express.

ONE SUICIDE.

Last night young woman, a member
of the denat monde took poison hoping to
go to better or worse place than this,
but doctor with a stomach pump re-
lieved st. Peter Of midnight job and
she is happy yet. An italian carpenter,
named Seraphno, made better calcula-
tions to-day. He had got tired of the
jack plane, bevel and saw and so putting
a pistol under his chin he proceeded with
the utmost deliberation to blow out his
brains. All that he had went all over
the room and then he laid down quietly
and died. If anybody wants to commit
suicide effectually and leave no margin
for resurrection, good pistol or shotgun
is the thing. / have seen so many who
took poison and it was pumped out Of
of them. A good solid charge of shot
through the head or heart is generally
sure of the intended effect. Poison gives
too much time and the patients" (?) are
usually saved.

CUBAN AFFAIRs.-Of late the Cuban
patriots instead Of giving up the contest,
appear to strike out with new life and
energy. And it would seem that their
cause is not so unpopular with the Span
isb soldiers pitted against them as one
might think. On the Goth Of Septem Der
a strong Cuban force attacked and took
prisoners a Spanish column of four hund-
red. When being disarmcd, they were
told that they could return to the Span
ish lines or remain with the Cubans as
soldiers Of the Republic of Cuba. Nearly
all joined the Cuban ranks.
