their union was.

THE FARMsR's PARADIsE.-We had the
pleasure of meeting our old friehd and fellow
sage brusher-Doctor Mason, who is just
in from Chase's survey of the southern line
OF Esmeralda county. The Doctor looks
weary and somewhat alkalied, vet has breath
enough left to give a most glowing descrip-
ton of the country through which he passed.
lie speaks of valley So miles south of Car
son, where potatoes grow ten tons to the
acre, barley three tons to the acre, and bunch
grass on the surrounding hills enough to
feed all the stock on the coast. The great
portion of this valley is INDICATED, and only
awaits the working farmer to make it truly
q farmers paradise.

ANDY JOHNsoN's MRANNEss.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the San Francisco
Chronicle exposes an act of meanness upon
the part of Andy johnson as follows
The fact is well known that when General
Grant entered the White House there was
not a scrap Of paper, blank form, or any
article used in writing, in the whole house
Il was stripped OF everything necessary to the
transaction of business. Now, the mystery
is, what could johnson want OF official
blanks to take away with himi Did he pack
up everything out of sheer spite and mean
ness, or has he an idea OF running little
institution Of his own, and is providing the
forms while they are eheapf The time may
come when stranger. will only be brought to
remember that one so low was ever President
of the United States by such documentary
evidence. In this respect a few cubic yards
Of blanks may serve Johnson purpose.

A PRoPHETIc EGG.-Quite sensation
was occasioned few days ago near Quincy,
in Owen county, Indiana, by the finding of a
singular egg upon the premises of a widow
lady near that town, by young lady, men,
Der Of her household, on Sunday, October
Is. On the she'll, it is said, there is inn
printed an American flag, with ten stars, and
the head of "a horse. 1t also bears the fol-
lowing inscription
''And it shall come to pass, saith the Lord,
that there shall be prophets, and will show
signs in heaven and on earth, for the hearts
of the people are filled with drunkenness,
and they are weary with this life, and there
shall be signs in the sun, the moon and the
stars, and great distress of nations and the
waves of the sea shall roar. and the heavens
shall be shaken, and the heavens and earth
shall pass off, and this generation shall not
pass away until my sayings are fulfilled
Our informant states that there is great
excitement among the people near Quincy,
in consequence of the prediction Of this mar
vellous egg, and that religious meetings are
being held, at which large numbers are con-
verted. 1t will be seen by this that there are
means of grace besides those received by our
orthodox friends, and men are to be saved
through a sngularly wrought hens egg. 1t
is also said that Col. Hays, of Gosport, has
offered one hundred dollars for this egg. and
that Mr.. David Duncan, Of Quincy, who saw
this egg, offers five hundred dollars to any
person who will produce another like 1t.

FIRE STILL BURNING IN THE GOLD HILL
YESTERDAYS Enterprise

FIRE STILL BURNING IN THE UOLD HILL
MrNEs.-Says Yesterdays Enterprise;
The fire still continues to burn in the Gold
Hill mines, though in a smouldering way.
As no fire can be seen, and it is so diff
cult TO reach with water, it is supposed that
the timbers now burning are only such as
have been caved on and covered up in heaps
of waste rock. Vigorous efforts are still be-
ing made for its extinguishment, and these
efforts will probably soon be crowned with
complete success. The volume of smoke and
gases coming up through the Crown Point
and Yellow Jacket shafts was much less tina:
the day previous. Two streams of water q
conducted through the 700 foot level of the
Crown Point mine and playing upon where
the fire is supposed TO be-between these
AID the level below. 1t Is at the kentuck
and Yellow Jacket line, in the east ledge but
cannot be seen by reason of the caved waste
let down by the burned timbers. Smoke and
gas indicates its whereabouts Day before
Yesterday and night before last several Of the
workmen who were below fighting the fire be-
came so sick that it was necessary to bring
them to the surface. 1t seems that when
ever the streams Of water strike the heated
rocks. such dense volume of steam is gen.
Grated that they are driven back, but they
seem to be cooling down the FIRE, and the air
below was much better yesterday than the
day before.

MOUNTAIN SHREP.-The Stockton Gazette
OF April 18th says;

Green L. Profit, a skilled hunter, re-
turned yesterday from a somewhat protracted
trip in the Coast Range Of mountains, and
brought back \ number of trophies Of the
chase. Among other things are the head
and horns OF a mountain sheep, which he
killed in the vicinity of Tulare Lake. The
animal weighed over two hundred pounds.
The horns measured twenty-eight inches in
length, and branch out to width o. eigh-
teen inches from tip to tip. Though called
sheep, they are more like . goat. They are
very wild, and are rarely found ON this side
of the Sierras.

State Road 20 Tecumseh.

We notice that Mr.. Church has pre-
scented a remonstrance against the es-
Enlistment of a State Road from Ne
braska City to Tecumseh. The spirit
that aetuates the people who have sign
ed the thing is obvious, but we are as
tOnished that citizens of Nebraska can
be guilty Of such littleness. The peo-
pie Of Tecumseh have asked for it to
enable them to get to our markets,
but the people Of somewhere else con-
ciOus of their inability to compete with
us ask that it shall not be granted,
hoping to COMPEL the Johnson county
people to trade with them, much to
their disadvantages. What will Te-
cumseh people think Of it?-Press.
The above precious paragraph was
taken from the Nebraska City Press
of the 18th inst. The facts are that
Mr.. Rhodes, the member from John
son county, presented a remonstranee
signed by citizens of Johnson and
Otoe counties against any such act be-
ing past.
Mr.. Church presented a remon-
STRANGE of the citizens of Nemaha
county, not against the establishment
Of the road, but against its passing
through Nemaha county, unless it
runs on section lines. The portion of
this county through which said road
would run, has county roads on ev-
cry section line, four rods wide, and
the farms have all good two and three
year old hedges growing on each side
Of said county roads, and the people
protested earnestly against q State
road angling through their farms.
The Press will now see that 'the
people of somewhere else con(s)cious
of their inability to compete with us, y
are not guilty Oftrying Ito compel the
johnson county people to trade with
them"
No, Mr.. Press, the people of Nema-
ha county are not yet quite SO envious
of the advantages and prospriety Of
other localities as the above paragraph
plainly proves you to be of this.

Petitions are circulating among
members praying the Governor to
pardon convicts, OF 10 commute the
judgement Of the court tosome milder
form Of imprisonment One n~oticea-
BILE feature in the petition which asks
that John Burley be not hung but
Imprisoned for life, set forth that the
crime for which he was sentenced was
committed under the influence Of in
toxicating liquors, and that in the
opinion Of the petitioners the law al
lowing the sale of intoxicating liquors
should be cbargeable with the murder,
and not the man who drank the muir
derous draught and committed the an
pardonable deed. Upon this petition
we noticed most Of the Senators and
Representatives, and many other gen.
tlemen Of standing and influence. II
such be the case, the query arises
ought not such a law to be ripped from
our statute books?
The business OF the session is being
transacted very rapidly, and as it APP
pears from our view, with great want
Of consideration. Appropriations Of
the public funds are made with a Law
fish hapd, for purposes of no pressing
importance. These sums now run up
to over 500, 900.
The report Of the commissioners to
select a site for the scat Of govern
ment, and to build thereon the capitol,
has just been made, from which we
learn that the building which was let
by contract for S4s, 900, and good bonds
taken for the completion of the con-
tract, now costs the State $75, 600; and
the Governor recommends that the
Legislature pay out of the Treasury
this excess, Notwithstanding the con-
stltutiOn fOrbids It.
The commissioners to locate the
lands for internal improvements, have
done their duty at 81 per day, and
have been paid as follows, to-wit:
