WOMAN BURNED TO DEArH. - The

the following account Of n most distress
log accident:
Right on the heels Of the Knight
affair of the same character 10 Sutter
county, about three miles from Yuba
City. II seems that Mr.. S. S. Briggs,
Who owns ranch on the Sacramento
river road, next TO DR.. McDaniels oil
mills, went out in the felu to work yes
terday morning, leaving his wife pursu-
ing her accustomed duties in the house.
About III O'Clock in the forenoon he
was startled upon looking in the direct
ion OF bis house to discover that i. was
wrapped in flames, and Fastening to the
spot found it enveioped in sheet Of FIRE.
The work of destruction was short, and
the building was soon burned TO the
ground As his wife was not to be seen,
and knowing that her first impulse upon
the breaking out of the FIRE would have
been to call him the terrible thought
suggested itself that she must have per-
ished in the flames, and upon searching
the emoers, his fears proved to have
been too true. In the ruins he found
the remains of his loved wife, actually
burned to Q cinder, and in position
which showed that she must have been
attempting to escape from the burning
building when the flames twined around
her and speedily ended her life. How
the FIRE originated must ever remain
mystery. The sad calamity cast a gloom
over the community adjacent to the
scene, aud the people in this vicinity
deeply sympathixe with Mr.. Briggs in
his terrible bereavement.

Keep Your Word.

When yon promise to do a thing,
be sure to keep your word; as well for
the sake of truth as in justice to 9TH
ers. This very interesting story is
told of boy who was singularIy faith
ful to his word:
He had borrowed tool from a
.neighbUr, promising to return it at
night. Before evening he was sent
away on an errand, aud did not return
until late. Before he went he was
told that his brothers should see the
tool returned. After he had come
home and gone to bed, he inquired
and found the tool had not been sent
to its owner. He was much Distress
ed to think his promise was not kept,
but was persuaded to go to sleep and
rise early and carry it home. By
daylight he was up, and nowhere was
the TOOL to be found. After a long,
fruitless search he set off for his neigh
boris in great distress, to acknowledge
his fault. But how great was his sur
prise to find the tool on his neighbours
doorstep! And it then appeared,
from the prints of little bare feet on
the mud, that the lad had got up in
his sleep and carried the tool home,
and went to bed again and knew it
not. Ofcourse, boy who was prompt
in his sleep was prompt when awake.
He lived respected, had the confidence
of his neighbors and was placed in
many Offices of trust and profit.

John BuckhOst slowed away under an
old log church, near where the horse
was found. His body was cut and
gasbed as with a hatchet or some sharp
instrument, and his clothes were al
most torn from his body, giving eyi-
dence Of desperate struggle with his
murderers. The murdered man was

A writer in the Gentleman's NTaga-
zine predicts that the next great in
ventiOn will be to speech what the pho.
tOgraph is to sight. He points to
the fact that fifty years ago it would
not have been believed that the waves
Of light could produce a perfect and
durable picture. Yet it is now done
us a regular business in every place Of
Il thousand inhabitants; and he thinks
it not improbable to suppose that ere
long the much stronger waves Of sound

died away upon the air may be read
from an indicator, like notes Of music
We quote from the article alluded to:
Light is the wave motion, and tire
chemist has found a substance which
the waves as they dash against it, can
transform or transmute; and so we
have photography. Sound is wavs
in motion; its waves are as breakers,
lights are as ripples. the former large
and slow, the latter small and rapid,
Now since we have got the substance

tain note; soon we may cause the
same sound to vibrate a body that
will make mark on paper as it
swings, and then we can make anoth-
er working body vibrate to another
sound, and so on up the gamut. Thus
we shall get an apparatus which will
mark the notes of u melody, each as
it is sung; after this it is not difficult
to conceive a series of vibratOrs each
attuued to one Of the few separate
sounds that the human voice can Ut

When the tFsOnogram,'' - as this write
er calls it, comes into practical use,
we shall have some queer results
from it. The member Of Congress
who rises to speak, instead Of being
reported in labOriOus shorthand by a
score Of haggard photographers, will
simply have twenty instruments, re-
sembling cameras, leveled at him by
artists of placid COuntenance, who
will nicely adjust their focus and
withdraw the sheets Of paper as fast
as they are covered, sending them to

|severally represent. There can be no
more quarreling with reporters for al
legged iuaccuracy in their notes. But
the most interesting use Of this in
strument will be in private life
Wehn Mrs. Languid feels like staying
away from church, her plOdding hus-
band can shoulder the sOnOgram and
march off; set it up in his pew, and
come back with a faithful report Of
the whole sermon. Mrs. Watchful
can place one over the cupboard in
her Kitchen, hiding it with a slight
screen, and by consulting it every
day keep herself posted as to what
her servants say about her when she
is absent. Perhaps Master Mischievs
Gus will be ingenious enough to con-
struct one and hide it under the plano
of an evening, that he may know
next morning what sister Susan'5
beau said to her, and what Susan re-
piled. This will be a great deal safer
and more convenient than going to
the room above and putting his head
down through the stOYe pipe crock.

A Brown WEDDING wedding
occurred recently at a farm house a
few miles southeast of Kansas City,
The bridegroom was named Brown,
and also the bride. None but rela-
tiOns attended the wedding, and no
relations of the family were present
excepting those whose names were
Brown. Fathers, mothers, uncles,
aunts and cousins of the newly mar
ried couple, to the number of sixty
one, were in attendance. The minis
ter's name was Brown. Certainly the
wedding is one of the Brownest affairs
we ever before heard Of Kansas
City (Mo.) News.
The above might have happened in
this locality, from the number ol
Browns mentioned. We don't sup.
pose there are less than a hundred Of
the name in this county.
