A SrRoNG SroMAcu.-A western cattle
dealer, who rarely had the privilege of sit
ting down TO meat with a family, and had
never been in minister's house in his life,
was oot long ago benighted and lost in his
ride across the prairies, and compelled to ask
for lodgings IN the first house he could hnd
Happily for him. it proved to be the dwelling
of good man, parson, who gave HIM
cordial welcome, and, what was especially
agreeable, told him supper would soon be
ready. The travellers appetite was ravenolis
and the moment he was asked to sit by he
complied, and without vaiting for a second
invitation, he laid hold Of what he could
reach.
stop, stop!" said the good man of the
house: 1--WE are in the habit of saying some-
thing here before we eat'
This hint to wait till the blessing was ask
ed, the rough customer did not understand;
but with his mouth full, he mu,tered:
500 ahead say what YOU like. YOU can't
turn my stomach now"

We have the authority Of very respect
able journal for the following incident in the
life of noted revivalist preacher. He was
holding forth in Rochester, and in walking
along the canal one day he came by boat
man who was swearing furiousy The
preacher stopped and abruptly demanded Of
him:
"Sr do you know where You ale going?"
The boaiman very innocehlv answered
that he was going on board the johnny
Sands.
"No, sir You are not, said the preacher
you are going to hell faster than the Johnny
Sands can carry you"
The confounded boatman looked at him,
and then recovering himself returned the
question:
And do Won know where you are going7"
81 trust am going to the kingdom Of
heaven"
mo you amt bit of it, YOU are going
right into the canal" and, suitiag the action
to the word, he showed him in, and left him
to founder ashore.

OVERLAND MAIL TO HUMBOLDT BAY.-The
Humboldt Times urges the establishment of
an overland Mail route from that place to
Petaluma, and speaks of the route as follows.
Already there is daily mail from San
Francisco via Petaluma and HeaIdburg to
Cloverdale, on Russian River. fifty-two miles
from Petaluma From Cloverdale to Mendo-
emo, distance of seventy-fve miles, over a
road ut 'or stage purposes there has been a
contract made, and we believe now in actu.
al operation for the carriage of weekly
mall. SO that We have already a weekly
nlail brought to Mendocino, and all that
seems to be required is to make the connec.
ton at that place. From Mendocno to Ten
Mlle Greek, where there is station, and can
always be crossed, is a distance of twenty
miles, over the whole of which is good
wagon road, and there is good road on this
side OF the creek for the further distance of
ten miles, At the distance of about fifteen
miles from Ten Mile Creek the trail strikes
Humbug Creek, a stream, which is al
