The New Coal MINEs--The Stockton Argus
thus defines the locale of The coal deposits lately
opened in that region:
The discovery is on this side the dividing ridge
of the Coast Range at the head of Corral Hollow
The ridge is the dividing line between San Joaquin
and Alameda counties The whole distance to
Oakland from Stockton, on air line, is fifty-six
miles The distance from Stockton to the coal bed
does not exceed twenty-five miles. 1t is very near
the line of Alameda county, but ten miles distant
from Contra Costa, and thirty miles from Oak
we hope long to chronicle discoveries in Contra
Costa county.

PATENT ALARM BEDs--A LADY AND GENTLEMAN
IN A PECULIARLY PERPLEXING PREDICAMENT.---
Those who have visited the Fair at the Crystal Pa
lace must have noticed the patent alarm bed---a
Down East invention. The purpose of these beds
is to prevent person from overseepng himself or
if he does not wake at the time the alarm is sound
ed, the machinery operates in such manner as to
chuck him out upon the floor, much to his astonish
ment. For instance when person wishes to retire
to bed he winds up an alarm clock attached to the
bed and sets it at the hour he wishes to get up.
At the appointed hour, the alarm sounds and if the
sleeper is awakened, he may arise but, if he does
not awake the machinery of the clock operating
on lever, upsets the bed frame and the occupant
is tilted out upon the floor The bed is worthy the
inspection of heads of families, who have the
of sluggards and sleepy heads.
We have a good story to tell in connection with
one of those beds (says the Uncle Sam "Bostng'
paper.) A friend of ours recently got married to
lovely and interesting young woman. In the
house of the BRIDES father, where the wedding took
place. one of the alarm beds had just previously
been introduced. The wedding party was very
large fashionable, and verything went off with the
utmost merriment, the entertainment being of the
most generous kind. At length, the feasting over
and the hour of midnight past the guests began to
retire, and the lights to grow dim in the house
The :" old folks" hinted gently about sleep and the
bride and her lord grew weary and impatient. 1t
was easily seen that they wished to be alone and
the lady was accordingly escorted to her chamber
to which blissful haven the blushing bridegroom
soon followed her.
We will not attempt to draw picture of what
ensued but suffice it to say that while the interest
ing pair were in the midst of of their most in
teresting ete-a-tetes clicking was heard, and the
astonished couple, the next instant found them
selves launched on the floor in the middle of the
room, fast locked in each others arms, holding on
like good fellows, in momentary expectation of an
earthquake. They survived the shock, however.
The fact of it was, the alarm bed had been as
signed them for their nuptial couch, and the brides
youngest brother, the mischevous devil, Tom, had
taken the liberty to set the alarm at what he said
he thought would be . the auspicious hour" He
got his ears boxed the next morning. and our friend
w. D. S. has been suspicious of alarm beds ever
since

A REMARKABLE Man. A correspondent of the
Kentucky Statesman, gives the following sketch of
an old citizen in Pulaski county, named Elijah Deny,
who is perhaps the Oldest man in Kentucky:
He was Il8 years of age on the 10th of Sep
tember and is as active as many men at forty. He
works daily upon a farm and throughout his whole
life he has been an early riser He informed the
writer that he had never drank but cup of cof-
fee and that was in the year 1S48. He served
seven years in the war of the Revolution, and was
wounded at the siege of Charleston he was also
at the siege of Savannah, and at the battle of Eu
taw Springs. He was also present at the battles of
Camden Kings Mountain, and Monks Corner. He
served under Col, Horny and Col Marion, and was
witness of the sufferings and death of Col
Isaac Hayne of South Carolina, an early victim of
the revolution He is sprighty and active, and
would be taken at any time to be a man of middle
age. He is strict member of the Baptist Church,
and rides six miles to every meeting of his church
He has four sons and five daughters, all living, the
eldest being now in his seventy-eighth and the
youngest in his fifty-frst year, Such is brief
sketch of this aged soldier and republican, who is
perhaps the only surviving soldier of Francis Ma
rion, Sumpter and Horny

A VENERABLE BED CoRD.--The Portland ME J
Argus says, that in Bangor there is curiosity wor-
thy of notice, in the form of bed cord made from
the sinews of whale which was brought to this
country in 1910. 1t has been in constant use for
AZ years in the family of Timothy Colby, never was
broken, and is as good as new The Colby family
have owned it for 200 years.
The Colby family must be remarkably easy on

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT THE PRFsIDENTs.--The
Boston Transcript mentions some curious coinciden-
ces noticeable in contemplating the names and lives
of the first seven Presidents of the United States
Washington, John Adams, Jefferson Madison, Mon
roe, John Quincy Adams, and Jackson. We quote
some of the most striking of these Four of the
seven were from Virginia. Two of the name
were from Massachusetts,, and the seventh from
Tennessee, All but one were sixty-sx years old on
leaving office. having served two terms and this
one would have been sixty-sx years of age had he
served second term. Three of the seven died on
the 4th of July, and two of them on the same day
of the year. Two of them were on the sub-com-
mttee of three that drafted the Declaration of In
dependence, and these two died on the same day
and year, and on the anniversary of the Decara-
ton of Independence and just half century from
the day of the Declaration. The names three of
the end in son, yet neither of these transmit
ed his name to a son. In respect to the names of
ALL it may be said in conclusion the initials of the
seven were the same, and the initials of still two
others were the same. The remaining one, who
stands alone in this particular, stands alone in the
admiration and love of his counrymen and of the
civilized world Washington OF the first five only
one had son. and that son was also President

Must glad your ears with hints and gossip small,
