LAST night, Mrs. SchOenert, a German
lady living on Robertson Hill, died un-
der circumstances peculiarly distressing
and sad. About p. NJ she went to a
neighboring yard to obtain water for
cooking purposes, and during her abb
seuce her husband returned home in a
very drunken condition. Without any
cause whatever, he beat one Of his chill
dren, about five years of age, in most
brutal manner The other children ran
to their mother TO tell her how their IA
Their was abusing their little brother. The
mother dashed the water buchet down
which she was carrying, and rushed to
the rescue of her child. The husband
was still beating the child when she
arrived. She shouted loudly and wildly
for assistance, and in attempting to save
her child fell helpless corpse at the feet
of her brutal husband. The heartrend-
ing screams and bitter grief of the chill
dren, as they hung over their dead moth
er. can be better imagined than described.
The wretched husband was too intoXi-
Gated to realize his position, but surely,
when he awakes from his drunken sleep
and sees in his sober senses the ruin he
has wrought, he will feel his weight of
woe terrible to bear.

AND now the census enumerators are
in trouble. Secretary SchurZ has con-
strued the law establishing rates of COM
pensation to mean that the enumeratOrs
are not TO be paid by the number of names
enrolled, but forty cents per hour for the
time actually employed in taking the GEN.
sus, provided the number of hours shall
not be less than ten nor the amount
earned more than 81 per day Under this
rule, if an enumeration shall enroll 200
names in one day, working only eight
hours, and 100 names the next in two
hours, instead of receiving So, as he
should do under the per capita system of
enumeration, he would only be entitled
to four dollars by the hour plan, and the
government would gain two dollars. In
some of the districts the census takers,
by hard work and great energy, sue
ceeded in completing the enumeration in
less than the time provided by law, and,
although their lists are long, under the
hour system the pay promises to be very
short. According to the recent circular
of the superintendent of the census no
accounts of enumerators will be taken up
for settlement, except when presented by
the enumeratOrs themselves, or their
heirs. No agents or attorneys acting for
enmerators will be recognized. The ac-
counts will be paid by the disbursing
clerk of the interior department, who will
forward United States treasury draft
for the amount to the address of the emu
meratOr.

Another Man Dangerously Wounded.
Out on Fort Prairie, six miles east OF
the city, is a store kept by Mr.. August
knetsch, who has been conducting bus
iness there for several years.
SUNDAY MORNING.
about 3 O'Clock, a negro rode up 10 the
store, hitched his horse and called for
Mr.. Knetsch. He got up and opened the
store door. The negro entered and asked
for bottle of whisky II was placed on
the counter for him, when he remarked
that he had no money. He was informed
without the money was forthcoming.
This seemed to excite him and he de-
clared he would take 1t anyhow, and was
about TO take the bottle and leave when
Mr.. Knetsch took him by the arm and
gently leading him to the door showed
him out and told him to leave. The ne
gro turned and Immediately drew pistol
he had concealed about him, and aiming
fired at Mr.. Knetsch, the ball
TAKING EFFECT
in the face. Ii entered the left cheek
very close TO the nose, and ranging
through the head lodged near the base of
the skull in close proximity to the verte-
bra, infiicting a wound from which
death is almost sure TO follow.
Mr. Knetsch fell to the floor,
while the negro mounted his horse and
rode OFF. Dr. Mathews was sent for, and
gave the wounded man medical attention,
but was unable to extract the. ball. He
thinks his condition is very critical. At
the time the shooting occurred, three
young men, all white, were standing near
the store, and Immediately after the shot
was fired they started of in run, but
were seen by brother ofknetsch's, who
was in the store. He fired at them with
4 double-barrel shotgun, and, il is be-
lieyed, struck one of them. The negro
who did the shooting lived in the neigh
borhood, and sailed under the cognomen
of sam Piper. Officers were out looking
for Sam yesterday, but up to a late hour
he had not been arrested.

OUR CALIFORNIA CORRESPONDENT.
s.cRAMESrn. Jan. 9th. Isso.

SACRAMESTo, Jan. 9Ih, leS0.
 ED. MINER: Having spent the holidays at Red Bluff, in Tehama county, where at the risk of contracting dyspepesia indulged in one continuous round of calling on old friends and partaking of their good cheer and kindly hospitality, I reluctantly tore myself away d week ago and came tO the capital 10 witness the inauguration of Gov ernor Perkins, and the assembling and or. ganization of the first legislature under the new constitution.
 Everything pertaining to the organization went on smoothly and was easily and quick ly accomplished. The Republican mem bers of each House went into caucus and 1t was found that that parry had clear work ing majority of SIX in the House and four in the Senate over the combined opposition, consequently their caucus nominations were all elected except for the office of post master of the Assembly when they broke the slate ID favor of lady, Mrs. Houghteil ing, who was nominated by the Working men, but is, 1 understand, stauEch RepuJ- lican, nevertheless.
 The inauguration of the Governor took place yesterday and was a grand affair. Several military and civIc societies joined n an imposing procession through the streets ana the exercises in the State House were very interesting, barring the terrible jam in the Assembly Chamber, which was packed to ovefhowing.
 Last evening the Governor held reeep- ton in the parlors of the Golden Eagle HU- tel, which were filed t0 their utmost capac- ity; wine flowed freely, toasts were drank, speeches WeIe made, etc, by retiring and incoming officers and members of the legis- lature.
 As 10 acts of legislation and the immense amount of discussion arising in consequence of the change from the old to the new con siitutioD, you can post yourself and readcTs better by reference tO the daily papers than IL is possible for me 10 do It in the limited space usually allotted to g 'ettcr.
 The longest severe spe. si cold weather ever known in Calitorni has just closed with s rain storm which still continues with every indication of T flood.
 I have now been away from san Francis co and Oakland nearly q month and am anxious to get back, as ] have had no let ters and seen but two papers from Prescott during that time and am consequently grow ing homesick.
 | hope to start home during this month, but ss intimated in a former letter, am de taiDed, waiting for decision in an import ant matter pending in the Supreme Court and when they will act is matter that ''no fellow csn find out" expect to go 10 San Francisco on Monday next and will write again.
