AlWaYa Ahead.

The other day We dropped into the establish.
ment of Ebersol & Krouse, where we found the
finest stock of guns. pistols, rifles and other
sporting goods of the latest styles this city has
ever seen. Last week this firm sold two breech.
leaders, one Of English manufacture and the
other OF the celebrated Parker make, mine host
OF the Clifton securing one for $135. Mr..
Kreuse is without peer as gunsmith, and is
now engaged upon guns to be exhibited at the
State Fair, which are altogether homemade.
Sportsmen will consult their own interests by
calling at this reliable establishment, where no
pains are spared to show goods and where Sc.
lection is unsurpassed for chespness and excel.

HOUSES WANTBD.-One Of the most indubit.
able signs of Ottawa's prosperity consists in the
fact that houses for operatives are very scarce.
Suitable houses for families Of limited means are
not to be found in the city, and it would be we'll
ifcspitalists il would devote their attention to this
matter. The glass works, in the course Of an.
other week, will be employing double tho mum.
Der of hands heretofore at work in the ESTABLISH.
mept, ani the housing of them is quite serious
quest, u. gentlemen came to this city dur.
ing .ae week, who intends to locate here and
carry on new branch of industry, and after q
long and tedious hunt could only secure a suit.
able residence which would be vacant in some
two weeks. Some provisions must be immedi.
a,ely made for the anticipated influx of various
classe. OF operatives this autumn.

NOT INTOxICATED.-In our last, speaking Of
the Greeley meeting the 9th inst. at La Sale,
we said the only unpleasant feature about it was
that one or two of the speakers appeared on the
platform intoxicated. The statement was made
on the authority of a correspondent, who inveigh-
ed, and urged us to inveiyh with Indignation
against the frequency with which all the good
effects anticipated from public meetings of both
parties are destroyed BY the intoxication Of one
or moro Of the speakers. Our correspondent
mentioned no names and We mentioned none
but as Z. W. Dewey, Esq, of this city, was one
Of the speakers at that meeting, he supposes him
self referred to, and denies Indignantly that be
was intoxicated. We can only say, if our cor.
respondent d,d refer to Mr.. Dewey, he did him
iujutice. Mr.. D. was not only not intoxicated,
but made good speech, as the report Of l. in
the La Sale Press shows. We regret it exceed.
ingly if injustice has been done him in this mat.
matter, and take the earliest opportunity to cor.
rect the injurious impression tn at seems to have
gone abroad.

Now wDUE.-Subscribefs to the State Fair fund
will please call at the Exchange Bank in Ottawa
and pay their subscriptions to John F. MacKin-
lay, the treasurer, at once, as the money is yerv
much needed to pay laborers aud contractors on
the Fair Grounds. The limited amount sub.
scribed to this fund, when compared with the
expenditures necessary to comply with the re-
quirements OF the State Board of Agriculture.
will not justify US in hiring any person to col.

see the necessity of each acting as collecting

JUDGE NJ. E. HoLLIsrER.-Amongt the occa-
sioual appointments by President Grant of men
noted for their personal integrity and fitness for
the position that of the Hon. N. E. Hollister, of
Ottawa, as U. s. Judge for Idaho territory, was
pre.eminsntiy one. Durng his long incumbenoy
as Judge Of our Circuit Court, and during his
30 years. residence in Ottawa, whatever differ
snces on political or Other questions people may
have had with him, no one ever doubted his rigid
honesty and integrity, dtherin public or private
life. We were NO little surprised, therefore, to
find in q paper print,d at Boise City, where
Judge H. at present r3sides, called the States.
man, lengthy article abounding in insinua-
items against the integrity Of Judge Hollister.
The matter is explained. However, by the Stan.
dard Newspaper, tpoliti,ally opposed to Judge
H. published in the sane city. 1t seems the
publisher Of the Statesman wanted, for some
purpose, certificate of honesty from Judge H.,
which the Judge couldn't consoiensiously give.
Hence the attack.

story. A gentleman and bis wife came to
Sun Francisco In the fall of 1861, intending to
make California their home. On the very
night after their arrival there occurred a
frightf,ll earthquake, which so shocked them
that they took the very next steamer and re-
turned to the Atlantic coast. After four years
they were so far recovered from their fright
that they concluded to try it again. They
came this time determined to stay. But on
their very first night in San Francisco the
earthquake found them out. 1t was the great
earthquake Of October, 1865, that. finally ut
terly routed them. They went home by the
first train. They hid seen little in their two
visits to California, but they had fell unut-
terable things.

blaze, having caught from the cnlm pipe ON

of willing men went to work to rescue the poor
creatures who were buried underneath. Their
cries were heart-rending, and theseeneatthis

the unfortunate victims was indescriDable.
The air was filed with their groans and
wailings. Only half an hour elapsed before
the first victim was taken out, little boy
named Henry Palmer, who was horribly
mangled and dead. Thomas Pagan, a boy.
was next taken away, terribly burned, and
his skull broken in by falling timbers. These
two bodies presented CHASTITY spectacle.
Dwight Morse, John t. Clark, w. II. Pal

was not extinct. The three former expired
ut an early hour this morning, and Jones Is
not expected to survive until this evening.
Sixteen others were taken out, but were
more scared than hurt, and are to-day in full
possession Of health and strength. &sa
