HIS ANTEcEDENrs.-The Chico Chronicle
referring to Joseph Woods, who a few days
since was sentenced with Campbell to a
term of four years in the State Prison at
Folsom for participating with Alice Costello
in a robbery 4 few months ago, has the fol-
lowing to say relative to his family antece-
dents Joe Woods is known to nearly
every citizen in Chico He was raised in
luxury here by his parents, who were once
aristocratic and well-to-do people, the elder
Woods being a prominent merchant
Reckless speculation, high living and other
affairs reduced them to want, and the wife
and mother died two or three years ago in
Chico in the most wTetched poverty. The
father went East. and is now living in New
York city, blind and a pauper. Young
Woods associated with evil characters,
developed as full-fedged gambler, and
was repeatedly fired out of Chico as a
vagrant. He has been about Sacramento
for couple of years past. Woods has but
few sympathizers here in his old home, the
general impression being that he has been
served just right, and that the community
will be better off without him. 1t is to be
hoped, however, that his confinement for
the next four years will serve TO make
better man of him.
EXECUTIVE CONSULTATION. - Governor
stoneman has committed the sentence Of
John Brown, who was convicted of the
crime of petit larceny, at the November
term, 1882, of the Superior Court of San
francisco, and sentenced to four years i'm
prisonment III the State Prison, to three
years. This was done on the unanimous
recommendation of the State Board of
Prison Directors, and amounts to pardon,
as he will be released Immediately.
PETTY LARcENY.-Some thief stole a suit

man who had been employed there was
looked after by the police on suspicion Of
his being the thief......The same night an
oyercoaf and pair of gum boots were

He has lief. US: noble brotherl
Gone with all his manly charms;
Safe and happy, do we trust,
Resting in the Saviors arms
But our Preside is so lonely,
And our hearts seem so bereft,
When the oldest of our number,
Returns not to those he left.
Brother, as we sit at twilight,
Gloom and sadness fill each heart,
When we know It's deaths cold fingers,
Bids thee ever more depart.
Wilt thou never come again
To cheer the loved ones? Oh, SO lonely;
To give us one caressng tone;
TO still the heart throbs, only
That thy magic voice could do,
In days long since denarted.
But ah well fond memory
Brings them TO the broken hearted,
And methinks l hear again
Thy silvery voice. loud and clear.
Peaing forth in fond affection
Words so fraught with love and cheer.
"He is gomez Passed SO quietlyr'
Falls with weight upon our ears
Lingering, stunned and stricken,
Stifed midst our sobs and tears.
There comes voice, whispering

With part of our household band,
Where we too, if faithful may stand.
A mother; a father SO true,
Beckons us to the beautiful shore
Where we may make
An unbroken band forevermore.

.....'Our theory of the newspaper"
says Charles Dudley Warner, the editor
of the Hartford Courant, lis that it is
very much what the public want it and
make it, and we believe that, as a rule,
the tone of a newspaper is higher than
that of a majority of its readers. The
editor feels inevitably the responsibility
of his position, and. no doubt, would
often like to make a better newspaper
than he does make. But editors land
especially publishers are human, and
many of them have a notion that they
must live somehow, and that a little low
ering of tone is profitable"
