A SERIOUS STAGE ACCIDENT.

On Wednesday evening the Aurora stage
piloted by driver named Scott, upset about
four miles out from Aurora. The passengers
were more or less hurt Dir Hickman, a
saloon keeper at Aurora, who sat ON the box
with the driver was thrown from his seat,
pitched into a bank and had his face very
badly cut and bruised. A stranger Rodgers,
who was inside Of the coach had his shoulder
dislocated, A woman of the town. resident
at Aurora, was slightly hurt. Another out
side passenger, a Spaniard, commonly known
as Hoodlum Jack was very seriously injured,
both internally and externally; he was flung
from his seat and the coach fell across his body.
The passengers ascribe the disaster to the
intoxicated condition of the driver. One of
the passengers states that the coach ran full
twenty feet on two wheels before the driver
was aware that anything was wrong. SCOTS
injuries could not be ascertained by our in
formant, as he (the driver was, at last ac-
counts, too drunk to know how he felt The
coach is a total wreck, and in the fall one of
the horses had his neck broken the other

Mr. r. L. Tilden, the well known foreman

the geographical enlightenment of our readers
we will state that Sisson's is commonly known
as Strawberry Valley, on the Yreka stage

base Of Shasta Butte. Of all the bountiful
spots in California this is one of the most
gorgeous; the surrounding hills and streams
abound in game and fish of every variety. 1t
is paradise without the snake, and endowed
most lavishly by the munifcence of beautiful
nature. A short residence in that terrestrial
elysium will remedy the worst chronic case of
dyspepsia, induce one to forget the stringency
of the money market; aye, even is productive
of obliviousness to the most outrageous aff1ic-

following from Mr.. Tilden's letter, addressed
to friend in this city; "Thus far I have
enjoyed myself hugely, hunting and fishing,
and for the past week have subsisted solely

PROBABLE SUICIDE.-A passenger on the
southern coach last evening informs US, that
the usual quiet town of Genoa was very
much excited yesterday. The Justice of the
Peace at that burgh told his wife in the morn
ing, aftor breakfast, that he was disguised
with the way things were conducted on this
mundane sphere and that he would cross the
river Styx before night. He bid her an at,
fectionate adieu and left the house. A num-
Der of the J. P. s friends are searching for
his body; but it is very likely that he will
turn up all right. No one can account for
this strange freak, as his domestic affairs arc
said to be of the happlest nature,
