TExor, tho Trihnna 09l


On Tuesday the passenger train east
had an accident, which detained them
some four hours, about four mica east
of Cisco. Some flats had been switched
from the main track and through some
cause or other slipped back so as to ob-
structt to q certain extent the main track.
The cacineor of the passenger train on
peariuc tho side track saw the danger
and whisted to ;'down the brakes,' but
it was too late to prevent . collision.
some four of the fats were thrown from
the track and smashed up, and tho en-
gine of the passenger train, the Pull.
Sheridan, was badly damaged and the
express car was rendered u wreck. The
passengers were thrown about the cars
promiscuously, but none were, tortu-
nately, injured.
ArrEMrr TO BUM THE TowS.-On last
Wednesday q quantity of kiudling wood
was placed under the "hurdy house,
on Second street, and coal oil poured on
il and FIRE applied, but it was Fortunate
" discovered and cxtinguished before
the flames had made any progress.
There are men, we are sorry to say, in
this community who would fire the
town jus. for the sake of plum
der. Citizens, make some effort to pro-
tect your property from tho flames. We
have an excellent night officer, who will
watch FOUR property, but he is power
less to %extinguish the flames after he
discovers them.
OK last Tuesday morning, about .
O'Clock, two Cinnamon came up town
in great haste in search of an officer.
They said some Cinnamon had broken
into a house and robbed'and murdered
two Chinswomen. Officer Robinson
went to tho spot and found two China
men in the house, bat no dead
m A complaint was then made
against the two Cinnamon discovered
in the house, Of stealing, and they were
arrested. The next day . counter
charge was made by the I'VE arrested,
and at last accounts tho matter stood
unsettled.
MAP OF WHITE PISs.-We were
shown, sticking up in frout Of q saloon
in town q few days since, what purport-
cd TO be n map of the White Pine mines,
showing the different town sitcs, min
ing locations, mill sites, wood ranches,
etc, 10 that interesting district. The
map consisted Of q pattern plate from
Frdak LesLe'S Monthly, the numerous
cross lines being marked as different
mines, towns, etc. The lettering was
we'll done and bore the handiwork of
our old friend and fellow-townsmau G..
W. leopard. A better map of that
famous mining region could not well be
drawn, we think.

TOASTED THE PRxss.-At the Army
Officers Union, held at Chicago, Gen.
oral Carl Schurz was called upon to re-
spond TO the toast, "The Loyal and
Patriotic Press" which he did as fol-
lows:
Soldiers: az think I shall best favor
this assembly if l refrain from making
any speech, although cannot, like our
Commander-iu-Chicf the President
elect, plead that | am entirely unaccus-
toned to public speaking. Yet can
find no fault with you if, on an occasion
like this, you do not accustom your
selves very easily to quiet listening.
The toast is, "Thc Loyal and Patriotic
Press" Think n improve upon the
sentiment: The union of the men Of the
pen and the men Of the sword. The
men of the sword have vnliantly and
ploriously carried out and enforced the
ideas and the principles for long years
advocated by the loyal and patriotic
men of the pen, and that is their highest
glory. The men of the pen will never
become tired of sounding tho praise Of
the men of the sword. And now they
continue their victories BY battling tho
formidable artillery Of printed letters
against the hostility Of ignorance, dis
loyalty and prejudice which the men of
the sword have still left standing. Tho
union, then, of the men Of the pen and
tho mca of the sword men Of action,
OF thought, Of intelligence and Of pow
er. As long rs that union lasts, this
Republic of the United States will be
safe"

SurFERINGs AT SEA.-Thc history of
the sufferiugs of the three survivors Of
Lifsboat No. ,, belonging to the steamer
Hibernia, is one Of the most thrilling
descriptions Of the perils Of the sea.
Lifcboat No. 3 was tho third boat
launched. It contained twenty-cight
souls. Seven women, one Of them the
mother of three children, were of the
number. The passengers drank salt
water to qucnch their thirst, and three
of them jumped overheard the second
day. Two others wore tied to their
scats and died in that position. A
mother and her infant died within u lev
minutes Of each other. Another child
died suddenly of something like lock
Jaw. The p~itilcss rain beat upon tneir
unprotected heads without nttording
them any means to quonch their thirst.
Then the boat cspsized, and when II
righted again but three of them were
left. The sufferings of these three were
of the most terrible nature. They were
exposed t the merciless weather ana
consuming thirst for twelve days.

GRowINa TRHEs.-The great lifting
power Of growing trees, it is reported,
is illustrated by n specimen OF the force
Of nature in the cemetery Mt Old Cam
bridge, Massachusetts. At this spot a
small tree, which has apparently sprung
from n seed incloscd in q heavy stone
tomb, has grown through n chink be-
tween two stones, lifted the heavy gu
porincumbcnt masses Of stone some
inches, and pushed a stout iron railing
Off tho perpendicular BY the force of its
growth. This circumstance does moi
throw discredit upon, but rather adds
strength to tho recent account of a FL
bert tee, which, growing up through a
milestone, has filled it and has raised
tho s,one off The ground. The millstont
is Eve and u half feet in diameter and
seven inches thick, and presents the
strange appearance of a ruilo at thu
base of a tree.

Baron Won .Tschudi, the well
known Swiss naturalist, says /:
ssWithout birds, successful agricul-
eure is impossible. They annihi-
late, in few months, greater num-
Der of destructive insects than human
hands can accomplish in the same
aumber of years. Amongst the most
useful birds for this purpose may be
ciassed the swallow, wren, red-breast,
sparrow and finch. Tschudi tested
a titmouse upon the rose bushes
of his neighbor, and rid the same in
a few hours, Of innumerable lice.
A robin red-breast killed in the
neighborhood of 500 flies in an hour;
A pair of night swallows destroyed
la fifteen minutes, an immense swarm
Of gnats. A pair of wrens flew thir-
fy-six times in an hour, with insects
In their bills to their nests. He con-
sidered the sparrow very important;
a pair of them in single day, carry
300 worms or catterpillars to their
nests-certainly a good compensation
for the few cherries which they pluck
from the trees. The generality. Of
small birds carry to their young ones,
during the feeding period, nothing
but insects, worms, snails spiders

Whitewash is one of the most val,
liable articles in the world, when
properly applied. 1t not only pre-
vents the decay of wood, but conduces
greatly to the healthfulness OF all
buildings. whether of wood or stone,
Out buildingo and fences, when not
painted, should be supplied once or
twice year, with a good coat of it,
which should be prepared in the fol-
lowin way:
Take clean water tight barrel, or
other suitable cask, and put into it a
half bushel of lime. Slack it by pour
ing water over it boiling hot, and in
sufficient quantity to cover it five
inches deep, and stir it briskly till
thoroughly Stacked. When the slack
ing is thoroughly effected, dissolve it
in water, add two pounds and a half
of sulphate of zinc and one of COM
mon salt; these will cause the wash
to harden, and prevent its cracking,
which gives an unseeming appear
to the work. IF desirable a beauti-
full cream color may be communicated
to the above wash, by adding three
pounds of yellow ochre; or good
pearl or lead color by the addition of
lamp, vine or ivory black. For fawn
color, add four pounds Of lumber,
Turkish or American the latter is
the cheapest zone pound Of Indian
red, one pound of crimson lampblack.
For common stone color add four
pounds of raw umber and two pounds
of lampblack. 81
