ILLusrRArEp.-Ws notice that tho
Infamous Smoky Valley tragedy, pub
llshed In the Reese Rirsr Rereile as an
april Fool sell, and which so many
OF our exchanges sucked In like new
milk rs n choice Item. Is very graph.
cally illustrated In the New York Po-
lice Neprs, Days Doinys, and no doubt
In others Of the sensational p%ictorlals
OF the East. In all probability the IL
lustrated London Times aud other Eu-
ropean plctorials will also do Justice
to the cruel item. The Police Ne,rs
aud Days Doings each show dreadful
pictures OF tho affair. the mutilated
corpses stacked up In tile little cabin,
with the two mon dead on top OF the
heap, pistol aud knife In hand. horror
stricken spectators, and all that sort
OF thing. If"yan Jacquelln had a
conscience, he would remorseiully
commit suicide, but no, he just site
back In his chair and gloats over Ills
wickedness. lie glories la being n
bigger liar than old Tom Pepper, who
was kicked out Of rophet for lying.
INUNDATED. - Main street, lower
Gold Hill, was badly flooded last even.
Ing. owing to the clogglng up OF the
town sewer ut the intersection Of Peta-
luna and Main streets. IL appears
that the timbers out Of which the sewer
was constructed arc badly rotted In
many places, aud the decayed pieces
falling into the sewer chokcd 1t up,
causing tho overflow Of water. This
morning workmen In the employ Of
Town Marshal Kelly cleared away tho
obstruction 10 that the water again
flowed through the sewer. This fore
noon teams were unable to pass from
Petaluma into Main streets, owing
to the fact that the sewer was still
uncovered. 1T Was expected that the
sewer would be thoroughly repaired
BY night. The dining room Of tho
Veandah House and tho basement
stories Of q number Of other houses
were Hooded In consequence oil the
clogglng up Of tho sewer.
TIE RECENT COLD Hill TRAGEDY.
From tho Eureka Seatinel OF tho I'D
inst, we extract the following rel
alive to the parties to the recent ter.
rible domestic tragedy In this town :
"The parties are both we'll known In
Eureka, having formerly lived here,
leaving In November last for Gold
Hill. While here they had occasional
domestic troubles. and at ono time the
woman, In fear Of her llfc, rushed Into
this office, saying that she Was afraid
that Marks would kill her, rs lie was
drunk. aud asked for protection. She
was taken to the house OF u lady friend
aud thore remained until the brutal
husband had recovered from his
drunken spree. Marks, while residing
here, was greatly addicted to drink
aud gambling, at times neglecting Ills
business. and when In liquor always
abused his wife,"
SrnAwncRmEsA AND SPRING CHICKENS.
Peter Becker, at his famous Gold Hill
Bakery aud Restaurant, oil Main
street. keeps his boarders we'll supplied
with fresh strawberries and cream, and
Spring chickens every day. to say

private arrangements whereby all
reasonable fruits aud vegetables. fresh
