CHINESE RoBBERs.-A few months ago a
Chinaman entered the store of VIM. Kesler,
at Whiskytown, and robbed the till of seven
hundred dollars, with which he succeeded IN
making his escape. His success in this little
financial operation evidently encouraged some
of his moon eyed brethren to try their luck
in the same quarter, and last Monday even
ing the experiment was repeated. 1t appears
that Kesler had closed the store door, with
out locking it, and started to supper, but
after going a short distance he observed
couple of Cinnamon running from the store,
and at the same time noticed the reflection OF
light. which he had left burning on the
counter, shining through the open doorway
He thereupon gave an alarm, and a number
of persons started in pursuit of the China
men, and succeeded in capturing them In
a cabin a short distance out of town. The
fugitives were found with their blankets roll
ed up and everything ready for fast travelling.
On being searched, several hundred dollars
were found in the pockets of one. The blan-





an opium can was found containing several
hundred dollars more. But the till was
known to contain six hundred dollars, and
the amount found fell short of that sum. The
cabin was then re-searched, and the balance
of the money, together with the safe key and
several other articles recognized as belonging
to Kesler. were finally discovered hid away
in an old lard can. After these articles were
found proposition was made to punish the
thieves by whipping, and cutting off their
"cues" but it was finally decided to bring
them here and surrender them into the hands
of the authorities. They were accordingly
committed to Jail to await the action of the
Grand Jury.

A HARD Casa man named Powers
was recently tried and convicted of petit
larceny, before Justice Shuf1eton, of James
Vile, and commitment papers were duly
made out and placed in the bands of the
Constable selected to escort the culprit to the
county seat for imprisonment. At Horse
town the officer stopped to get some dinner
for himself and prisoner, but previous to
going into the dining room he pulled off his
coat for the purpose of taking a wash, and,
while thus engaged, the prisoner abstracted
the commitment papers from bis pocket and
slipped them into the stove. After the meal
was dispatched the officer missed his papers,
and on stating the fact, the prisoner claimed
his liberty. In this dilemma the officer
returned to Janesvlle for fresh commitment
papers. but the Justice having neglected to
record the testimony previously adduced in
the case, and Blake, the principal witness
for the prosecution having disappeared, no
other alternative presented itself than to
release the prisoner After being discharged,
Powers STAYED around Janesvile for short
time, drinking whisky and making himself
generally disagreeable. and then started for
Humboldt county. While passing along Bee
Gum Greek, tributary of Cottonwood, he
happened to meet Blake, the man who testi-
fed against him in the larceny CASE
Powers stopped him and ordered him to strip
off his clothes and swim across the creek or
he would kill him then and there. The
freshet had swelled the stream to the dimen
sions of river, and the waters were deci
dedly chilly, but a cold bath was vastly
preferable to death, so Blake stripped and
swan across the torrent, amid the cheers and
curses of his tormentor. Powers then took
possession Blake's clothing and went on his
way rejoicing, while the latter had to travel
three miles, through heavy rain, in order
to reach the cabin of some miners, who, after
recovering from their astonishment at seeing
man dressed so nearly in the style of the
Menken, kindly took him in, and fulfilled a
scriptural injunction by giving him food and
raiment.

New AND EXTRAORDINARY CURE FOR THE
| CHoLERA.-Just at the close of the cholera
epidemic in Paris, an interesting experiment
was tried by DR.. Lorain, one of the physi-
clans of the hospital ST. Antoine. in the Fau-
bourg St. Antoine. As is well known TO
the profession, the blood in cholera becomes
thick or, to speak more correctly, loses is
watery particles, and does not circulate in
the capillary system. Under this state of
things the patient grows blue and cold and
sinks rapidly into collapse DR.. Lorain
thought that when a patient was found in
this fatal condition. it would be a good thing
to inject water into his veins so as to thin the
blood again, and enable it to circulate to all
parts Of the body. He first tried the expert
ment on animals and found it did not kill
them. He then took the first collapsed case
that came into the hospital. which happened
/ to be young man with no other bodily al!
| ment than the disease in question When
| he was cold, insensble and cadeveric--in a
word within an hour or two of his death
Dr. Lorain called his hospital colleagues to
gether, told them what he wanted to do,
and asked them their opinion as to the pos
sibility of curing the man by other remedies.
With one accord they declared the patient
beyond hope of relief, and that the Doctor S
conscience might be at ease in the trial of the
experiment he proposed. He then, with the
usual precautions against the intromission of
air. injected into the veins at the fold of the
arm about twelve ounces of water at a tenn
perature of 1040 Fahrenheit The man soon
grew warmer, his pulse became perceptible.
he showed unmistakable signs of returning
to life, and, in fact, l6 hours after the
operation, in the morning, he sat up in
bed and asked for drink He went on i'm

COPPER CrrY.-This place. once so proms
ing, is now almost deserted, and its silent
streets and vacant buildings give it an air of
desolation disagreeable to a live Yankee to
behold Work is entirely suspended on all
the Quartz claims, and but six or seven men
remain in the place. Two years ago it con-
tanned population of two or three hundred.

SERIOUS AccIDENT-Homer Jackson,
miner residing on Clear Greek, near the
Tower House, met with a very painful acci-
dent on Tuesday. While engaged in cutting
a bed rook ditch in his claim, portion of

below the knee.

A BEAR.-Mr. j. j. Bell states that during
the recent freshet, when Clear Creek was at
its highest, he observed a big black bear
floating down the current on a pine log. The
same bear, or one navigating in similar
style, was seen drifting past Tehama day
or two afterwards. Guess he's gone to the
Bay to join Roop's menagerie.

HIGH WATER-A warm rain commenced
falling on Saturday evening, which continued
with but slight intermssion until Monday
noon. The Sacramento, at Waugh's ferry,
arose to point but six inches lower than the
high water mark of the great freshet of last
month, and the Weaverville mail carrier
reports Trinity river higher than at any
time during the winter. Billy Burt had to
swim his stage team across Spring Gulch,
near Bells on Monday, and the slough at
Cottonwood bridge was barely passable.

discreditable The election TO be held next
Fall calls for an entire State Ticket, and in
the result cannot be less important than any
that have preceded it :; in fact, in our judg-
ment, it will be as important an election as
has ever been held in this State. 1t will
never do to delay the matter, which prompts
US to write this, until the time OF the State
election, as the voters must be registered
long before that time, so that we Will know
where we stand and we know of no better
way to attain the, end desired than to hold
the County elections Conventlons?I. this

well established fact, that the nominee tor
Constable in a township will secure the
attendance of more voters at the polls than
the most popular man that ever ran Tor

tickets are placed In the field, at a date pre-
ceding the State ticket some time, the entire
voting strength of the Union Party would
be registered by the time the latter was
launched from the State Convention, and
sure and unmistakable triumph would be the
result. We should like to hear the views OF
the Union press of the State in regard to the
subject; it is an important one, and well
worth consideration. s. +. Spirit Of the
Times.


We coincide with the views of our cotem-
porary in relation to this important matter,
and think its suggestions worthy of being
acted upon. In this county only 647 voters
have vet been registered. The early assem-
blage of a nominating County Convention
would have a tendency to double that num-
Der.

GREAT excitement was caused the other day by
shooting affair at picnic in Chicago. Mrs. Van
Patten found her husband at the picnic with an

her bad aim that she at once placed the muzzle of
the revolver at her own head and fired, missing
