the tea-table do not always result in
mutual plsssantries. A case in point
happened at a hotel in Gold Hill u few
evenings ago. A regular Copperhead-
one OF the kind who was mean enough |
to Justify the rebellion Of the South,
but who was too cowardly to 90 and
fight il, battles" Clipped in every

ton then going on among the boarders,
of course to the disgust Of several
silent listeners, among whom was a
former soldier in the Union ranks,
whose name is, we'll, We will call him
Brown. The Cop, wishing to hear what
Brown had to say on the proposition
then under discussion, made bold TO
address himself direct to him, aud
asked him what he thought. Brown,
laying down his knife and fork, looked
straight into the Cops face and replied:
When my duty to my country called
me into the army, l ceased to talk to
men of your kind; and always went
after them with a bayonet. Do you
understand" The Cop raised mp from
the table and left without his supper,
amid the jeers Of the boarders.
To HOUSE,, Mill OR MISS CARPENTERS.
Eugene Bittner L Co. have just re-
csived the finest lot Of tools 10 the way
Of planes, saws, etc., We ever saw. The
planes are from the Ohio Tool Company
and embrace jointers, jack planes, and
best style of rabbit plane ever brought
to this market. The whole lot was
manufactured to Mr.. Bittner's order
from specifications aud measurements
furnished by him, he being determined
to procure the very article required for
the execution Of our peculiar line Of
mechanical work and no other. The
saws are from the celebrated Keystone
saw works of Henry Disston, Philadel-
phia, and are of the very best possible
material and pattern, being Of the finest
quality Of spring steel with ground
backs. Being thicker at the cutting
edge than at the back they are never
liable to stick or pinch in the wood,
and require but little setting. We
recommend these excellent and i'm
proved style Of tools to the attention Of
our mine, mill aud house carpenters,
and all others who know and appreciate
u good tool when they see it. Call at
Bittner's, and Charley the ever obliging,
energetic and accommodating clerk will
take pleasure in showing up not only
the merits of those planes and saws,
but of numerous other things about the
establishment, mention Of which will
be found in the advertisement Of Bittner
4 Co. in another part Of this paper. It
is pool economy as we'll a, poor policy
to work with poor tools when so much
more can be done, and done easier with
the right sort Of tools to do with.
A BAD ARN.-The right arm Of WIN.
Hunter which was fractured at the
elbow a short time ago by n fall from
the car track down into one Of the ore
bins Of the lower Savage dump, is in a
very bad state at the present time. The
first surgeon who had charge Of the
case was going to amputste the arm
over q week z rs il was very badly
swollen, and showed signs Of morti6ca-
ton, but the case was transferred to DR..
Hitler, and the patient removed to the
Hospital st. Vincent de Paul, where he
now lies. Considerable change for the
better has been effected, but should the
arm eventually be saved it will be but
a crippled limb at the best. It seemed
but q plain, simple case Mt first, and
easily managed, but DR.. Hitler gives it
as his opinion that the unfortunate arm
was ma~ltreated, poisoned and nearly
destroyed by the frequent injection OF
morphine into the flesh. This 10 rather
rough on Hunter, who was hard work
ing man, dependent upon his hands
labor for his living. From the way
these injections Of morphine are found
20 operate in several instances OF late,
that potent drug is apparently quite as
efectual as chloroform and far more in
furious in its local applications.
