The great drought that is prevailing
in all parts of the country should be a warning to
all persons to look well to their nucs and stove
pipes. Should FIRE break out in this town Just
now, there is no telling the mount Of damage it
would do. Ten minutes would be sufficient time
to pnmp dry the strongest well in town, and with
out water the means Of lighting fire in this place
are certainly not very great Perhaps, after we
have had fire something less in extent than that Of

PROPHECIES FOR 1S72-Zadkiel' s
Almanac for 1872 has appeared in
London. with its usual assortment
of prophecies, of which the Daily
News savs:
His Majesty of the Netherlands
will, it appears, suffer a misfortune
in January. Then there is strong
hint to Mr. Gladstone and Mr.. Dis
raeli for February. On March next
the German Emperor. in conse-
quence of Aries squaring Jupiter,
Will not do as much harm as he
otherwise might. The old gentle
man. writes the Seer, will be more
pacific than in 1870, when he was in
close conjunction with the Sun, and
stirred him up to deeds of blood at
which history shall yet blush" In
April we are to apprehend troubles
from Ireland; but any one might
have prophecied that. Passing over
a gulf of the future, we harken to
the voice of the stars for November,
and observe that in that particular
month the Prince of Wales will not
be in as high favor with the clergy
as he has hitherto been. He is also
advised to look after his purse
strings.
But it is upon the Emperor Ma
pOleon that Zadkiel spends most of
his erudition and attention. He
claims to have predicted in 1882 the
downfall of the Bonapartes. He ex-
hibits the Emperor's nativity, and
proves plainly enough that the loss,
of the throne of France was owing to
Saturn in an evil hour having
squared Napoleon's Moon. From
that moment Napoleon was doomed |
man. Here Zadkiel is so struck with /
the amazing realization of his proph-
ecies that he bursts into fits of ad-
miration, with his hair on end like
katterfelt's at his own wonders. He |
insists that he has demonstrated him
self to be an honorable successor of
Claudius Ptolemy and the old Chal-
deans.

HORSE "WONDER OF THE WORLD. "
The horse Wonder of the World, -
owned by the Governor, whose speed
has lately caused such excitement in
the horse world, is believed to be
able to trot in 2:l4 without an effort.
Senator Boggs is a great admirer of
horses - OWNS May Howard, "
" Blackbird, and other racers, and
what he doesn't know about a horse
amt worth knowing. He thinks
Wonder can do his mile with ease
in 2:l5, improving as he grows older.
Arrived at the stable, Wonder was
brought forth to be admired. He is
nine years old, 151a hands high, a
very dark bay. His eye betokens no
great spirit, but much intelligence.
He is as gentle as a lamb-without
an ugly trick; baby could manage
him. Said Boggs, Look at that
stitie. see how small belly he has

at those clean limbs-boncs ivory,
sinews of steel. Then look at his
breast, and see the power of muscle.

New COUNTY.-The Shasta Courier
says that "a meeting of settlers in

in q few days to consider the ques-
ton OF forming new county out of
Shasta and Siskiyou. In order to
succeed in their efforts to obtain a
new county they must act harmoni

derstand that the people Of Goose
Lake and Surprise Valley are willing
to go into county organization with
the Fort Crook people, provided the
county seat is located in Hot Spring
