Narrow Escape Of Two Sisters.

the ruins, rendering assistance to others
saved, and was finally obliged to leave
the spot with almost certainty that her
sister had perished. Fortunately, neaf
day light, Lucy Ann was rescued from
the ruins, where she had been in the
most imminent danger Of being burned.
She seems to have been carried, with
some heavy timbers and flooring CON
pletely underneath some large machin.
cry and floor braces, and was confined

some time she remained senseless, having
received blow upon the head from an
iron bolt, and when she began to.realize
her awful situation, she made what ef-
fort she could to extricate herself It
was impossible however, and for seve raj
hours death stared her in the face.

despair began to settle upon her heart.
Then came the terribl. cry Of fire, and
a wave Of hot air swept through tho tim

at work above her, and hope revived her
heart. The shouts Of these rough, strong
men sounded like angels voices, and tho
light Of their lanterns, streaming down
into her prison Of death, seemed like the
light Of the seventh heaven! For two
hours they worked with that energy
which only such motive can give, and
she was drawn out just in time to save
her from tho approaching fire..

MARYsvTLLE CRY PRINTISG.-The Marysville
papers are "pitching in" to the newly elected
Council Of that city on account Of their action
relative to the city printing. 1t appears that
the Council advertised for proposals to do the
printing, and passed resolution that it should
be given to the lowest bidder. A bid was put
in by each Of the three papers, and on being
opened the Council, regarding them all as be-
ing too high, rejected them, and ordered that
they be returned to the several Offices. The
Democrats bid was the lowest. and the BvpresS
and APPEAL say that the Democrat should have
had the printing. Heretofore the competition
among The several Offices has enabled the city
to get its printing done at very low figure /;
but il appears that the Offices have this year
entered into a combination in order TO get
fair price for their work.

ANCIENT SrArUEs.-Thc editor Of the New
York Post, writing from Rome, after having
visited gallery Of antique statues, says:
The full length semi-colcssal statues Of Julius
Cgsar, Caius Marius and Sylla, are three of the
most striking figures in the gallery, and are in
excellent cseryation. Cesar is in his fifty
fourth year, or thereabouts, holds in his right
hand drawn across his breast, roll Of papers
bis commentaries, perchance--and wears au-
rel crown upon his head, a custom Of bis, il is
said, to conceal his badness. The face Of Syla
bears an extraordinary resemblance TO that Of
Frank Blair, of Missouri. 1t was found on Mt.
viminal, in Rome. The Marius was found at
Otriculum, and was presented to the grand
father Of the Marquis of Campaua by Plus vi.
1t is perfectly unique. no other gallery possess
ing an undisputed foil length standing figure Of
Sylla's famous but unsuccessful rival

of the assassination of Gen. Jose Castro, Gov
ernor of Lower California. lie was shot by
one Manuel Marques, at the Mission Viejo
Frontera, on the morning of April 9th. The
assassin escaped into Upper California. A let

or California, is dead. He was assassinated by
one Manuel Marques, on the morning Of the 9th
Of April. at n rancho near Santa Tomas. the
Capital, called the Via Las Palinas, by being
shot five times through the body with Colts
revolver. The gallant General fought bravely,
as he drew his revolver after receiving the first
shot Of the assassin, and with one shot shatter-
ed the vagabond's left hand with another he
broke his left arm and shoulder, after which
weakness ovcrcame him, and he fell from his
horse--when. after receiving other shots from
the inhuman coward who now had him COM
plctely in his power-he expired, without a
word of complaint or groan.

SoUrH CAROLINA IN THE NATIoAL CONVENTION.
The Charleston News says; 1--WE do not speak
unadviscdly when we say that that tho South

ination of Douglas, and that it will insist that
the platform of the Convention shall contain an
Endorsement of the Dred Scott decision, that
the Southern people are entitled to have their
slave property protected in the Territories 1t
is as well to breach at once and directly, the
main proposition involved to wit, that if Doug.

Bennett's principal assistant on the Herald:
"Both these men are human curiosties. Each
one has his peeuliarities. Both are alike in
this, that they prefer solitude to society. Ne-

his wife, save once, and that was with a
stranger Hudson is tall. stout man, dressed
like priest, and very much resembles Aroh-

Bennett is said TO be a very sociable person
He is the son Of rich man. Is well educated,
and is not bad looking, and has gained tho

GRowTH or Wool IN THE UNITED STATES
The history of the growth Of wool, says the
Chicago Journal. is very curious. Fifty years
ago not a pound of fine wool was raised in the
United States, 10 Great Britain, or in any other
country except Spain. In the latter country
the locks were owned exclusively by the nobil-
ity or the crown. In 1894, q small flock was
sent TO the Elector Of Saxony, as q present from
the King Of Spain; hence the entire product of
the Saxony wool now of such immense value.
In 1909, during the second invasion Of Spain
by the French, some of the valuable crown
nooks were sold to raise money. The American
Consul at Lisbon, Mr.. Jarvis, purchased four
teen hundred head and sent them TO this coun-
try. portion Of the pure unmixed Merino
blood Of these nocks Is to be found In Vermont
at this time Snch was the origin Of the inn

States

CHANGE OF NAME.-The Legislature passed
an act, some weeks ago, changing the name Of
Uniontown, in Humbold. county, to "Areata."
The change was made without the knowledge
or consent of a majority of the people Of the
town, and on receipt Of the news it created no
little excitement among the citizens. A re-
monsirance was Immediately circulated, and
signed by two thirds OF the voters, requesting
the Legislature to give them back their old
name. Great complaint is made that the move
ment to effect the change was effected without
sufficient publicity, and divers severe reflections
are made upon the getters-up OF the unpopular
move.
