From the Record Of October 49, ~
Some days ago, as Mormon team
was returning homeward and had
reached a point about three miles dis
tant from town. the driver. who was
somewhat intoxicated, fell from tho
seat. The horses became frightened
and ran away. One OF the wheels
passed over the legs of the unlucky
teamster, and he narrowly escaped
having his bones fractured. He lay on
the ground for perhaps fifteen min
utes, at the end OF which time acouple
of miners, who had seen his mishap
from a distant hillside came up and
assisted him to rise. They examined
his Injuries carefully, while he groan-
ed necessarily, and found him unin-
jured, with the exception OF a painful
but not at all dangerous bruise on the
right leg below the knee. They then
took him to his team, which had be-
come entangled In the sagebrush a
short distance of, and placed him In
the wagon. He was ungrateful, how
ever, for when he found himself safely
on the seat lie thanked his b%enefactors
by saying. with a drunken hlccup land
these were the first words he uttered
after the Academy "D-n ye! yer
might ha' had enough to look
after the horses aud see II they wasn't
hurt"
The other day, a farmer from one OF
the Mormon agricultural districts OF
the southern part of the county, having
sold Ills wagon load or chickens. veg
etables and such articles, invested some
of the proceeds in liquid refreshments.
lie then went into q store OIL Main
street. and the following conversation
ensued: Farmer quitting II huge chew
Of tobacco in his mouth, and tucking
up his. breeches)-'Got any cow-bells?"
Polite clerk" Yes. here are some Of
the finest make ; well sell them to you
cheap, too" Farmer-"W Well. yes
they are rather n purity bell. but then
they're too small. liant you got
none bigger?" Clerk-"No; those
are the largest we have" Farmer
I" Well. | guess I'll go somewhere else.

-" Why, don't you see that they're
all the better for being small. You
will not have the least trouble In find
Ing your COWS If you Use such bell as
this, for rs SOON rs you hear the bell
you will know that they are not far
off," The farmer studied " 1t for
q moment, and seeing that 1t was
"logic," he bought the article. This
may account for that clerks 20 often

Last night, about half-past 10 o'clock
n meteor appeared In the eastern sky,
about co degrees above the horizon,
and moved swiftly to the southwest.
traversing, we should judge, an arc Of
80 or 40 degrees. The meteor was as
far from the horizon when 1t disap-
peared, al when it first became visible,
seeming to go In an almost perfectly
straight line. and leaving a brilliant
track Of light In its wake.

Eureka Items.
from the Sentinel Of Oct. 1871

As already announced In these COL
uMns, Dan Matheney. on Friday, In
the District Court at Hamilton, plead
ell guilty to the charge OF murder In
the first degree, In the matter OF the
killing Of Calvin Green. still adhering
to his original statement, that Fiuncy
was Interested with him. Deputy
Sheriff Walsh, who returned from
Hamilton yesterday, informs us that
Matheney seems entirely llstlcss In re-
gard to the matter. and to all appear
ances does not realize his situation. II
he e%ntertains al opinion at all OH the
subject, 1t Is that he will not be hung.
In an Interview with Mr.. Walsh yes
terday morning, he maintained stoutly
that hts first story was the correct n
lie says, in passing out Of his cell,
while la the Eureka jail, Finney talked
with him hurriedly for u few seconds,
inducing him (Matheney) to make a
second confession. As he now relates
the story, Finney said to him that there
raj no chance for either Of them so
long as they were both confined In
jail ; that II Matheney would exone
ate him, he tFinney) would aid him to
escape, promising to have a horse In
readiness, etc. Matheney claims that
every word Of his first confession was
true, and that II no IL hanged he will
stick to it in his dying words. Ho Is
confused about dates, saying for two
or three days after the murder he was
drunk, and hardly knows anything
about what transpired. He Is certain,
however, that the murder took place
just before daylight, and that Finney
dealt the fatal blow, just as related In
his first confession. Taken all In all,
1t Is a very remarkable case, and we
very much doubt whether 1t will ever
be made entirely clear as to who was
the chief actor In the tragedy.
We were yesterday shown some very
fine samples Of base ore from Robin
son District. They were brought In by
Dan Morgan. Dan says they are about
an average Of the ore In tho Sunburst
mine, Of which he Is the sole owner.

Logan, the disabled miner, yesterday,

GENERAL ITEMS.

In the Stokes trial In New York
yesterday, Patrick Logan, court officer
at the first trial Of Stokes, testified to
a conversation he had with Hart and
Redmond. the hotel servants and wit
nesses for the prosecution. while con-
veying them from the courtroom to
the House Of Detention. He said they
Informed him that they expected $1,000
each tor their trouble, aud Redmond
told him that they were furnished with
copies Of their testimony. Hart aud
Redmond. witness said, were called
into q number Of liquor saloons on
their way to the House Of Detention.
The story told by Logan took every
one by surprise. Logan speaks In the
richest west Of Ireland accent and Is Of
determined aspect. The District At
torney's efforts to shake him entirely
failed. He admits .~concealing the
story for a year. His reason for net
telling was that he did not want to be
made a witness, but expected the jury
70 Disagree, aud as a last resort, II
Stokes was In danger Of being hanged,
he intented to 60 to Albany and tell
the Governor all. After this the Dis
trict Attorney brought out that Logan
was discharged from the police on a
charge Of not doing his duty at the 4th
Of July riot. He explained that he
ssved from a clubbing by a brutal
policeman a poor old man waiting for
admission to the dispensary, aud that
| the officer accused him Of inter ferlng.
Logan swears that lie saved the old
mans life and there Is no other charge
against him.
A DISPATCH from Memphis, Tenn,
states that the streets are crowded with
vehicles and the sidewalks ~thronged
with pedestrians, and there Is more
activity in business than for n month
past. The disease is rapidly yielding
to the cold weather. The mortality
report up to noon shows twenty deaths
from yellow fever and six from other
causes.

THEOLOGY AND Misunderstanding
Is gained and much Is lost by endeavor-
Ing to run science In theological
grooves or by rejecting all science
which does not come squarely up to
the demands OF theology. The human
mind Is searching for truth as It never
sought before. aud when truth Is found
no earthly power car destroy Its force,
or shake the allegiance OF those who
love 1t for Its own sake. Theology,
which Is of man, may bend or break
In its efforts to embarrass or hedge In
the irresistible advance Of scientific
investigation but religion, which Is
OF God, has nothing to fear from the
progress Of truth.

We seldom publish compliments to the
JOURNAL; but the following from the
Homer IHad, claiborne parish,) is so
neat and well said that we can not forego
the pleasure of reproducing it. Mr..
Blackburn, the editor of the Ilidd, isalso
a printer, and is therefore doubly COM
petent to judge. His opinion is entirely
disinterested, as there is no personal ac-
quaintance, but is formed from weekly
examination of the paper. Hence the
compliment is more than usually appre-
ciated by us:

cate (present company always excepted)
