Slough farmers, through the columns o.
the Woodland Democrat, give the annexed
notice: We would like to call the atten
ton of the public to some things which
have been transporting for some time past
and especially during the last few months
Catfish, ducks, ETC., seem to have great
attraction for pleasure-seekers, and some
of that class seem to think that as soon as
they are "out of town" they are also out
of the limits of the law, and hence have
unscrupulously trespassed upon our prop
erty. They have torn down our fences,
and made bonfires of them to fish with by
night; they have broken down our fences,
entering ON one side and ''exiting" ON the
other, leaving our stock to 90 in and out at
pleasure; they have shot our horses and
cattle; they have trampled upon our
grain, both when growing and when
ripened; they have fired bullets through
our windows, ct ceterG al infRitum. In
view of these circumstances we are COM
PEELED to say that unless such things are
stopped, all hunting and fishing on Willow
Slough, except by special permission, will
be prohibited.
CoURsING MATCH. = The West End
Coursing Club, of Oroyille, met last Sun
day ON the grounds of Brazelton & Evans,
SIX miles below town. The officers of the
day were as follows: r. w. Smith, field
marshal DR.. w. P, McDermott, judge
c. H. Wilcox and D. w. Wasley, stew
ards John Bovey in charge of the slips.
The grounds were in splendid condition,
and, the weather being very pleasant,
quite large number of visitors were pres
emit. The following dogs were slipped
r. W. Smiths Henry Ward Beecher, John
Boveys Dublin Boy, L. III. Meade's Phil
Sheridan, Louis Glass Dixie. Both the
frst-named hounds did some excellent
work, Henry Ward proving himself the
feetest. Dublin showed himself to be a
very superior animal, but not being in good
running order did not do his best In
turning the hare and fencing he is excel
lent. Owing to the absence of the owners
of Dixie and Phil Sheridan, the dogs were
very obstinate. Eight slips were had and
six hare caught. Il Oroville Mercury, April
9th.
BERGEN POINT, N. IA most interest
ing match at 200 birds, for 81 900, was
shot on the grounds of the New York Gun
Club. March 26th, between j. P. Jones and
V. Watson, 80 yards rise, so yards bound
airy, birmingham rules. Jones used u
bore Scott, ID. o., with l OF. shot,
while Watson shot the American Daily
gum" II bore, same weight and amount of
shot, The birds were fine lot, and were
furnished and handled for both men by
Miles johnson. The shooting lasted about
three hours, and from the very first bird
until the close was most exciting, there
being but one bird difference between the
men. The match resulted in a tied
killed, SO missed. The attendance was
quite large and betting heavy-even money
and at the close a strong effort was made
to have the contest continued until de-
cision was reached. This the marksmen
positively refused to accede to, and Mr..
Miner, the referee, declared all bets off.
A CATFISH SToRY.-Ex- Sheriff Yeates,
while ON one of his trips below last sum-
mer, brought back a lot of live catfish and
placed them in ditch near his house
They seemed perfectly contented in their
new home, and were lively as could be I'M
til the cold frosty weather, when by some
bad management the water was turned out
of the ditch, leaving it dry except little
pond in a depressed place in the bottom,
in which the young cats congregated. This
pond was soon frozen hard to the bottom,
and when Uncle Jimmy found the situation
he came to the conclusion that his pets
were gone up" The water was turned
back into the ditch, however, and when
the spring thaw came the fish thawed too,
and are now as lively as though they had
remained in the Sacramento mud, and
missed the cold experience OF being frozen
up for a couple of months in Plumas irri-
eating ditch Plumas National
THE TURF.-The Louisville events con-
tinue to attract the attention of specula-
tors. Kimball remains the favorite for the
Kentucky Derby, and Bramble for the Cup,
each being taken at 8 to /. The rumor
ahoat that Bramble was lame is not con-
tirmed from the stable, and is therefore I'M
founded. Good Night is more sought after
and has improved in the odds from s to l
to to |, and is sthus quoted with Blue
Eyes. For the Great Metropolitan 5 to

A WOLF CLUB.-A club has been or
ganized at Sublimity, Marion county, Ore
gon, for the express purpose of slaughter
ing wolves, they having become so danger
GUS and numerous that special efforts are
necessary to keep them down. The snow
in the mountains drives them down into
the valleys, where they prey upon sheep
in merciless manner. Any member who
kills wolf and produces the pelt is to re-
ceive liberal reward. The officers of the
organization are I. Downing, President !;
n. Lacrois, Treasurer, and M. Lambert,
Secretary.
PRIZE SHOOTING MATcH.-It is in con-
temptation to have a shooting match at
pigeons in this city, on or before May LIST,
the best score to receive as a prize hand
some Parker gun, good value for SIS.
The match will be open to all residents of
Ell Dorado county. Entrance fee, five dol
lars. Entries can be made with o. V.
Morris, Main street, opposite Mammoth
Clothing House. As the number of en-
tries is limited to twenty, and there will
doubtless be scramble for chances, those
desiring to compete had better lose no
time. Il Placerville Democrat.
KIsscEM.-T world-renowned mare,
the winner of fifty-four races without even
meeting with defeat, is by Cambuscan, a
son of Newminster, her dam Water Nymph
by Cotswold. The SONS of Newminster are
proving among the best stations in Eng
land, and more of them are in the list of
winning sires than the get of any other
horse. The direct blood is rather scarce
in this country, and in California the only
grandson of Newminster we know of is
