With this number, the connection of
the undersigned with the FELlcIANA SEN
T1NEL ceases. In taking leave Of the
friends and patrons of the paper, he can
not refrain from rendering his sincere ac-
acknowledgements to those who have en-.
couraged and assisted him, during the
tenn of his editorial administration. For
himself, he can say that 1t has been his
endeavOr, whether successful or not, to
conduct the SENTINEL upon the most ele-
waited plane of journalism; that amid the
many trying phases and conditions of the
political situation which have presented
themselves during the two and a half
years of his editorial management, he has
endeavored. while advocating tho princi
pies of the grand old Democratic party,
to ameliorate. 80 far as in him lay, the
bitterness engendered by personal and
Marty prejudices In this he has the ap-
prevail he trusts, of the people of his par
ish aud State.
1t would be work Of supererogation
to commend to the people Of West Felic:
ana, the gentleman who succeeds him in
the editorial and business management
of the paper. Mr.. G.. w. Reese was his
associate editor during the first years ex-
istence of the SENTINEL, and is, as he
merits to he, well and favorably known
among them.
Finally, in bidding adieu-to those he
has exerted himself faithfully to serve.
and whose moral, political and CONNER
cial interests he has strivcn earnestly t."

Fatal ssabbing nj Hoaie.

On the evening Of September 3D., in the
town Of Bodie, John Lewis, a teamster in
the employ of the Comanche Company,
was stabbed and Utterly cut to pieces by
n Con. Casey, a miner Of that place. A
correspondent writing to the Gold Hill
Ne,cs gives these details Casey and
Lewis met in the street and exchanged o
few words relative to the employment Of
the former, when the lie was given and the
men clinched. Others rushed to them,
but before they could be separated Lewis
fell to the ground saying, s'You have cut
me. you son Of q -" and breathed his
last. On examination, he was found to
have II chastity wounds in the side, breast
and abdomen, more than six either Of
which would in itself prove fatal. The
whole affair lasted but a minute, and pro-
duced the widest excitement. Lewis had
many warm friends, and was a quiet,
peaceable man. Casey is o comparative
stranger here, but SO far as known is q
very peaeeable man, and that little reason
can be assigned for the rash net. He was
arrested almost Immediately after the at
fray, and brought before Justice Robin
son this morning on a charge Of murder.
He pleaded not guilty, and an examination
