being killed. The following particulars
are given by the Red Bluff Independents


1t appears that they had dance or fandango
at the house of one Of the deceased, and the
two men who committed the deed procured
some liquor from Tehama and took it to the
dance. The two men becoming intoxicated
were ordered to leave the house by the proprie-
tor, which they did, but returned in about ff-
feen minutes and called two Of them out, and
when they made their appearance outside of
the door they were Immediately stabbed, one
Of them three times, and the other once. One

hour. The parties in the house refuse to give
any information of the direction in which the

This city is too large for the country. The pop

of the former is not sufficient to keep the latter

of the city in the future keep pace with its pro-

four died in Novem Der, and at the last

have thus scourged the expedition are
coDgestiye and remittent fevers, acute
dysentery and malarious pneumonia, all
of the most malignant and dangerous
type, and all incident to the climate
and sure to be produced by over-work
and exposure. The climate is subject
to great and sudden changes, which are
peculiarly trying to the sick, who are
not under proper shelter. The rapid
fall ia temperature on December 3D. was
followed, says our correspondent, by in

protection from the weather, were liter

THE DEFENCE OF THE BEARD.-There are
more solid inducements for wearing the
beard than the mere personal appearance
and the cultivation of such an aid to the ev-
cry day diplomacy of life. Nature, com.
bining as she never fails to do, the useful
with the ornamental. provides us with far
better respirator than science could ever
produce. The hair OF the mOustache not
only absorbs the moisture and miasma of
fogs, but Ii strains the air from dust II
acts also in q scientific manner, by taking
heat from the warm breath as IL leaves the
chest, aud supplies it to the cold air taken
in. 1t is not only respirator, but with the
beard entire we are provided with COM
fOrter as well. The remarkable thing is,
too, that the beard, like the hair of the
head, protects against the heat of the sun;
it acts as lhatch does to the ice.house; but
more than this, it becomes moist with the
perspiration. and then by evaporation cools
the skin. A ten years experience may
have made us little enthusiastic; but il a
total immunity from toothache, relaxed
usual coughs, colds, and all the hosts of
rheums be any inducement, then we can
cordially recommend the beard in all its
glory.
