brother with a deadly weapon, has been held for manslaughter, bail being
fixed at $1000.

Francisco on Sunday last to Mrs. J.J. ROMER.
-While in the act of robbing a hen roost near Santa Cruz, Saturday night,
H.H.B. PIERCE was shot and killed by Charles M. WATSON. This seems rather
a severe punishment to mete out to a vagrant for stealing chickens
**San Benito Letter --
-The recent rains, although protracted, have not been heavy and have done
little or no damage Mr. WERNER of the Park Mill was only compelled to
take his dam out of the creek for 3 days. He is now grinding away, night
and day, and accumulating some flour
-Ex-Mayor SCHELSINGER is still selling goods at cost, and has nearly
disposed of his stock.

GOLDEN have some land in Dry lake, which they propose to seed

the State University

**Unclaimed Letters --

Henry BUSTARD, in addition to his bakery, has opened a restaurant on San
Benito street, between Fifth and Sixth. He will keep fresh oysters and
everything to be found in a first-class restaurant.
Wm. GORDON has purchased the carriage and blacksmith shop of W.F.
REYNOLDS, on San Benito street, near the Eagle Hotel. Mr. GORDON is a
first class carriage and wagon maker, of long experience and will
doubtless do well here.
The earthquakes in California, a sample of which we had last week, are
attributed by Professor HALL to subterranean volcanic outbreaks, produced
by the cooling action of the hot liquid interior of the earth in
conjunction with the attraction of the earth and moon.
**Bitterwater Letter --
-Messrs. MATTHEWS, MOSSOP, SELLECK and RUDOLPH will sow their 160 acres
each, and some 75 acres of the DONNELLY ranch as well. ZOLLIENS ditto.
-The TULLY boys rent to ZOLLIEN, SMITH and HANSEN, and will sow some 450
acres -- in short, the whole valley will be sown.
-Rumor has it that Frank TULLY is soon to take to himself a helpmate; the
old man is busy arranging for his departure for Sonora, Mexico -- will
sell, or lease, the TULLY farm, and take his colony (28 persons), all his
family -- expects to get off in April or May.
Judge J.J. MAY, late of this place and formerly of Idaho, is now
practicing law at Colusa.
Dr. CAMPLIN went to San Jose last Wednesday to meet his wife, who was
then en route to this place from the East.
Frank ROSS, ex-sheriff of this county returned this week from a
protracted visit to the mines in the northern part of the State. The old
man is hale and hearty.

returned to Hollister last Wednesday.

W.R. McKANNEY, San Jose
S.H. GOULD, Dayton, Ohio
John W. GASKILL, San Francisco
L.B. VANBURT, San Francisco
E.C. SMITH, San Francisco
L. TAUSSIG, San Francisco
T.W. THACKER, San Francisco

J.S. HAY and family have moved into the house owned by Mrs. HAYDON, on
Seventh street, near the residence of A.T. BUTLER, Esq. Their young lad
friend and relative, Miss Ida SLOSSON, of San Francisco, is still
sojourning with them.
**Nearly Serious -- Last Monday, while hunting about 10 miles above
Hollister, R.P. LATHROP was the victim of an accident that might have
proved serious. He was sitting on the river bank, laughing at his dog
that had fallen in the water, when the dirt crumbled beneath him, and he
was precipitated in the water. The river was high, the quicksand abundant
and the current swift, and Ranse found it difficult to get out. He lost 3
quails, nearly lost his gun, and was immersed in a manner that ought to
satisfy the most orthodox Baptist; at least as regards the quantity of
water used.
