Regular Sunday evening service com menced this week at the Episcopal church. Dr. Henry preached an excellent discourse denouncing the theory which condemns all heathens to eternal punishment. The in- justice of damning the vast majority of the human race for not holding religious faith which they have never heard of, is sufficiently obvious. ie '." oF5 '.s'

nnoA mas TeStOred one cent of property which he nad IraudulentIy conveyed away, to any creditor. His sole claim, first last and always has been that he has not moao any attaeha6le property He has never claimed any legal change in 'shis c;rca.n,- stances." Through all these proceedings he has been possessed, as tenant by the curtesy, of pro- perty standing in the name of his wife, amount ing to $1, ,50O, or more. No chdnge therefore, in the circustances of Knox having been either al- legged or proved before the third Court of Review, held by Messrs. Minor and spery, they had no alternative but to affirm their first decision, and in so doing they did but over-rule the decision of Knox's own counsel No honest and intelligent court could do otherwise. It is due to Messrs Minor and Sperry that this plain and true state- ment of the facts should be made tomeet the false accusations loa so wantonly brought against them.
 [The decision of Messrs. Brooks and Norton has since been rendered, releasing Knox, and in justice to them we will add few words to the foregoing statement. '.' sS 4sS4
 There was no proof of any fraudulent convey ance of real or other property on the part of Knox, unless the money placed in his son's and wife's hands Thereafter mentioned) could be so considered. His right in his wifes estate, being exempt from execution, did not prevent his taking the poor debtors oath. It was proved before the Court of Review that he had himself a dollar or two less than the $17 allowed him by law Ca part Tn the hands of his son) but that before going to jail he had placed $1O in his wife's hands, leaving her no other means of his for her support The Court of Review thought this $1O should be reck- oned . part of Kncx's funds, and refused to dis charge him. From that time (about six months since) to this' Knox has received no other proper ty, nor contributed in any other way to his vifes support. He has also made general assignment on advice of counsel, and was plainly as we think
 entitled to the discharge which he has now re- ceiyed.-ED. ENa.l

PATRoNlzE HOME MANUFACTURES. We dropped
in the other day to see how McCausland was
getting along with his glove-making, and found
that he was doing well. He has on hand about
one hundred of the finest buckskins that we
have ever seen, and expects to receive another
lot in short time. Besides this he has on hand
a large number of gloves made up of the same
kind of skin, and well-made they are, too. Nc.
says if any of his gloves rip, he will gladly re-
place them with a new pair. This glove-manu-
factory is truly home institution and should be
patronized by all. The deer were killed and the
hides tanned by some men living beyond Hay
Fork, and who, from the appearance of the
skins, understand their business. When we 90
to Mr.. E. 7 McCausland and buy pair of
gloves, the money remains among us, and the
purchaser may rest assured that he will get
good article and good fit. Nc. has gloves
suitable for the merchant, miner, farmer, team
ster, or any other man who wants pair of good
ones, but he makes speciality of ladies' buck
skin skin gloves, which are really very nice, be-
ing as light and fine as can be, and just the thing
for working in the garden or riding. Another
feature is that all the gloves are sold reason
able prices. By all means, buy your gloves at
McCausland's.

WE'LL ALL BE RICH.-Dr. Edward Trask, dur
ing his stay in Weaverville, informed us that
Charlie Monroe, formerly of this county, would
soon come this way for the purpose of supply
ing our miners with new patent rifle. The
rifle was described to Trask as one that would
save all the gold through some electric attrac
tion The Doctor promised to forward us a COM
plete description as soon as he arrived at San
Francisco. Such an arrangement for saving the
yellow dust is all that is needed to make every
one in this county rich beyond expectation.
There is q large extent of country in this section
untouched because the extreme fneness of the
gold causes it to run off with the talings, that
would pay fabulous wages with such process
for catching the precious metal as the one men
toned. 1t may be possible but it is not proba-
BILE that this invention will fulfill all that is
claimed for it, In all mining a large percentage
of the gold is lost. Any method of working by
which twenty-five per cent. or even ten per cent.
of the gold dust lost in every mining claim with
the present system of mining would be big
thing for miners.

row escape from terrible fate. At Ware &

mill and occasionally taking a ride on the car
rage. While seated on the carriage her foot
was accidentally caught. under the frame and
drawn under. Her father hearing her cries of
distress, sprang to her relief and by a desperate
effort pulled her loose just in time to prevent the
crushing of the ankle between the pulley and
the moving frame. The pressure of the sliding
mass was such that the thi ok sole of the shoe
worn by the little girl was cut through as though
by a sharp knife. ~
