While Mrs. Edith Ghallis was
travelling in England some
months ago, SO the story runs, she
was very kind and attentive to an
old lady who became i'll on the
journey, and lately she was sur
prised to learn that the old lady
had died, leaving her an annuity
of $4,000 a year long as she
lived. We would remind our
readers that it is sure to pay to
be kind and attentive 10 the old
and sick every where, though the
reward rarely comes in the shape
of a $4,000 annuity, and should
not be looked form that shape.

DILLON MINE SoLD.--This mine often men
toned in our columns, has lately been sold.
Jacob Cowan and p Hines, who owned two
thirds of the 1000 feet, sold their 533% feet for
$1,000 and John Dillon sold the other third, as
appears by the record for $500. The whole
claim has, by these sales, passed into the hands
of the Auburn Mining incorporation. The for
mer owners of this claim have sunk shaft on the
ledge 81 feet deep, from which they have taken
quartz that has yielded some $4,000 in gold
The present owners have let contract to Capt.
Fault an experienced miner, to sink the shaft
to a $50 foot level, or some SO feet deeper, for
$1,000. or some $19 per foot. This mine is in
the rich Rock Creek district, some three miles
north of here. The ledge is a large and well
defined one.

Po1soNEp.-On the 25th ult. Joe McCreery,
formerly miner at Wisconsin Hill, but for years
engaged in wood-chopping, cattle driving, sheep
berding, etc., near Lincoln, was poisoned by
strvchnine being mixed with the sugar with
which he sweetened his tea that evening. Joe is
getting well, and thinks strychnine is worse in
tea than in whisky. McCreery was out on the
plains cabining and herding sheep, and on re-
turning home, getting and eating supper as usual,
he was taken violently sick, and vomiting soon
set in. He managed to reach neighboring
cabin, when Dr. Flint, of Lincoln. was sent for,
and treated the case successfully. An examina-
ton was made, and in his sugar-bowl was found
a large proportion of crystalized strychnine. Joe
owes his life to the dose being too heavy. The
belief is that somebody range was being dam
aged by the sheep, and that they salted Joe's
sugar with strychnine during his absence as the
easiest and quickest way to get rid of him; CT
that thieves sought to kill McCreery and get
away with the sheep before his death was dis
covered Joseph, this was close call.

None of the free school teachers in this

and all teachers will have TO lock to the

The foregoing, from the Kaufman Star,
