FoRBEs on RoADs.-The editor of the
Humboldt Register thus discourseth on
thesubject of roads and guide-boards. We
appreciate his endeavors, as we lost our
self in that alkai and sulphur region
about fourteen years ago, and suffered
much. Here is Forbes prayer, which
must be heard:
ave want the Board Of Commissioners to
hear US, and TO consider what we are about
TO say. We claim it in the same right that
the fellow did when in his affection, he called
on Providence for suecor: 'For Thou knowest
il is not often trouble Thee Itwould be well
il the Commissioners would require the Road
Supervisors TO place at the crossroads, and
the forks of roads, guide-boards, informing
travellers Whereabouts in-Humboldt each
Of those long roads goes TO. We are pretty
sound on roads, you know and wouldn't
advise this thing if we didn't know we
were right. II could easily be done at the
county's expense, and nos cost much. As il
is, men are in continual perplexity as to
roads, when travelling across the valleys over
the sand hats eheekered all over with roads.
The settlers in the cahons, too, ought to have
the name Of each canon up on guide-board
At the foot OF the cason. Il would be great
convenience"

REAL ESTATE.

During the past month We notice quite q
number of transfers of real estate, at fair
prices. Messrs. j. & F. Barth are purcha-
sers Of part of the E. Maseir farm. Mr..
John Stanton has bought the Hiram Maseir
place on Big J,hu, the Keeger house and
lot in town, and house with 25 or %
acres in East Council Grove. Mr.. J. B.
Smith has bought the Six Mile Creek
Rancho. The livery stable has again
changed hands, Messrs. Collier & Huffaker
becoming purchasers. Mr.. Shrewsbury,
formerly sutler at Fort Lyon, has purchased
the S. N. Wood house.
During the same time, we chronicle an
accession of six or eight families in town.
Every house is full and overaowing. Lum.
Der and mechanics are needed to put up
more buildings. A little she'll of house,
coeting not more than $3.50 OF $500, rents
readily at six or eight dollars per month.

Revolutionary Soldiers.

Only twelve of the old veterans of the
revolutionary war, survive to see the preseu.
struggle to preserve the heritage Of freedom.
But few of those stern and s,eadfast men
who shouldered the musket, witnessed their
departure for the camp aud the battle, now
remain to see the dangers that threaten the
institution for which they periled their lives.
That gallant band is melting away, and
none may ever again behold the sunshine
of national peace. Their companions have
zone on q returnless march.
"An army now might thunder past,
And they not heed its roar."
The generals and the captains, with the
rank and file, who first rallied around the
starry flag that still waves 10 triumph over
the armies of the Republic have gone be-
yond the reach of wars alarms. The little
platoon, as rear guard, still encamped on

Spirltualism Eclipsed.

Modern Babylon is all agog with new
excitement. The wonderful Davenpor,
Brothers are exhibiting TO overlooking au
diences, who are bewildered, stupe6ed
amazed with the mechanical mysteries which
surpass the most astonishing feats of modern
spiritualism. The Herald says of them:
"Here, for example, are the Davenport
Brothers. They do the most wonderful
things 10 public and private. Perhaps their
performances are more astonishing 10 pri.
vate parlor. where deception appears impos.
sible, than in public hall, where there
may be room for suspicion of trickery
These bfotbers make musical instruments
float about the room. They cause spectral
bands and arms to become visible aud tan.
gible. They raise chairs and tables from
the floor to the ceiling. TbeyiilIuminate
the room With balls of blazing Gre. While
these phenomena are occurring the brothers
remain seated, their hands and feet firmly
tied aud incapable of motion, even if any
sleight of hand or sleight of foot could suf
ice to perform such modern miracles. Yet
the Davenport Brothers do not attribute
these wonders to spiritualism. They say
the power to produce such manifestations
has been bestowed upon them, and it is
perhaps the same occult power, differently
developed, as that shown in the telegraph
and the steam engine.
"lt may be physical power, or . mental
power, or . moral power, or a combination
Of them all; but certainly it is as yet inex.
plicable."
