Owyhee tidal wave. [volume] (Silver City, Owyhee County, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1869-1870, 1869-10-07

WHAT a beautiful theory it is that
an old sinner, after long lifetime
spent in misconduct, riotous living
and all manner of wickedness, may
upon bis death-bed, when all bis
effective energies either for good or
evil have been exhausted in doing
wrong, repent, and at the last hour
of his earth-life be translated from
his fallen estate into that of true
christian, and after death transport
ed in the velvet arms of female an
gels with rainbow wings to that ce-
lestial abode, that house not made
with hands eternal in the heavens.
Without such theory what hope
could the friends of old Absalom
Jones of Hamilton county, Ohio, en-
tertain for his final welfare, when
we are told by the State Capital Re-
porter that he has voted the Demo-
cratic ticket at fifty-seven successive
fall elections and announces his in
tention to give Pendleton lift at
the fifty-eighth! May the old sinner
be aroused and terribly awakened
before it is eternally too late may
he be made aware of his precarious
condition and realize that he is hair
hung and breeze-shaken over an aw-
full gulf, and turn from the error Of
his way, is our prayer in the interest
of poor fallen humanity.

and Communion.

Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has any thing won so widely and deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series of years, and among most Of the races Of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima.
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made il known as
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mlder forms of disease and to young children, is
at the same time the most clectua remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan.
gerOus affections Of the throat and lungs As pros
vision against sudden attacks Of Group, should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as az
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antdote for them.
Although settled Consumption Is thought in
curable. still great numbers Of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pecf0ral. So complete Is its mastery
over the disorders Of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Iec-
toral they subside and disappear.
SINGERS and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from 1t.
Asthn~ is always relieved and often wholly
cured by 1t.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Perf0rGi in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that it is I'M
necessary to publish the certificates Of them here
or do more than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.

ing, on Saturday morning was forced to
stop at Brooklyn on account of bridges
being washed away; and CD Monday
writes as follows from Newton:
1--WE arrived safely thus far Saturday
evening, about dark. They got the
bridge and road fixed this side of NAL
com on Saturday, so that we left Brook
lyn about O'Clock p. M, and arrived
here about eight. The road was very
much washed, and have never before
here seen so much standingand running
water. If we had rushed on Friday
night without noticing the break the
probability is that many of US would
have been drowned. AS soon as we ar
rived at Newton we ascertained that we
could go no further; two bridges west
were broken and there was no passing
to and fro. The sad accident to the
freight train, on Friday night occurred
fur miles west of Newton, in passing
over the bridge on small creek this
side of Skunk River. The bridge gave
way and the engine and some thirteen
ears were piled into the stream. The
engineer was crushed between some
lumber and II falling ear; he was torn
and bruised sadly; every bone in his
body four inches long was said to be bro
ken. He could not be eXtrcated until
four O'Clock Saturday afternoon, when
with the brakeman, who was found
drowned, he was brought to this place.

in coffin, and the engineer
rolled in cloths-in the warehouse when
l arrived. The whole scene was sad
The engineer had been married but four
months. He resided at Brooklyn,
think; but his wife at the time was at
Iowa City. He expressed, at Newton,
on Friday evening, his wish not to run
that night, being fearful of some acct
dent; but it was from Skunk River or
beyond rather than from that little
stream that had swollen so much. He
was taken yesterday to Iowa City, I'M
der>tanh; aud the brakeman to Kellogg,
for burial. Thus in the midst of life we

PUBLIC SCHooLs.-The youth of to-
day have many privileges which were
not permitted to their ancestors: And
those who live years hence will consid-
err our opportunities as being meager
compared with their own. Yet when
we think of the old clog school house,
with its dingy walls and implanted
desks, and when we think of the course
of study then compared with our own,
we can but consider how numerous and
important are the advantages of the
present generation.
We must also rejoice that we live in a
land fraught with such blessings,
and til at those blessings need not be
purchased; hut n generous and bencvo-
lent people have opened the doors of our
schools, and to rich aud poor alike have
extended the opportunities of an educa-
ton; and we can but deem it culpable
in amy one who VIII discourage SO good u
system, or who will withhold any
means, which, if applied, would tend to
its advancement and strength.
The young men and ladies, who. after
years of hard study and effort, stan d
upon the threshold of life and hear the
many calls 10 positions of trust and
honor can but feel satisfaction in
Knowing that these positions are for
them, and that these years of study
have gained for them knowledge
which enables then to accept with con-
ii!-nce, and fiji with ability.
The Inducements presented by the
resources OF our country, cause many to
tDrsake the schoolrrOm, aud endeavor
to avail themselves of the means of
money making, forgetting that the
strength Of structure depends upon
the excellence of its foundation. We
are pleased 10 say that but .tcu Of those
III or oUn schools are caused to sell
their advantages for such gains. And il
the same devotion is shown lv our
scholars the coming Year as last (the
