CHASTITY CURGosITGEs. - Samuel Curtis,
who was engaged in business in Sacramento
fifteen years or more ago but for several
years has been living in Peru, has returned
to the city. He brought with him many
curiosities obtained in South America
among which were two relics of humanity
taken from ancient catacombs in Peru
which he thought to dispose of to the Mu-
scum Association One is said to be the
head-or rather the skull-of an Inca. The
skin adheres to the bones of the face, and
the scalp to the skull, but the most remark
able thing about it is the luxuriant growth
of dark brown hair, about eighteen inches
in length, still attached to the scalp, and
looking as if it had life and was still grow
ing, making the skull have the appearance
of masqueradirg. The other specimen is
apparently a young lady's arm, from the
elbow, the flesh and muscles of arm and
hand having dried without decay.
SHOCKING AccIDENT.-Near Florin, last
Tuesday, the handsome and bright six
year-old son of Henry jackson was
allowed TO go into a field to play. Not
very long afterward his mother had occa-
sion to go to the water-tank, near the
house, which is supplied by a windmill,
and was Mortified on discovering blood
upon the surface of the water and the body
of the child lying at the bottom of the
tank. She sprang in and secured the body,
men who were working near by running to
her aid in response to her screams, and it
was found that the little fellows head was
shockingly crushed. The theory of the ac-
cident is that he climbed upon the side of
the tank to look in, and it so happened that
his head came directly beneath the pump
rod of the windmill, and received a terri
Bile blow from it, knocking him into the
tank. The funeral took place at Florin
yesterday.
