DIED..

Elijah Way, aged 53 years and months,
died September Both, 1873 Mr.. Way was
a member of the Protestant Methodist
Church.
During mis- illness he remarked he
was resigned to die. At times of intense
suffering when his friends were doing
what they could to continue life, he would
exclaim, 20 let me die" At more com
posed moments he was engaged in prayer,
and par, of his petition was OF praise, such
as Blessed Jesus" He will be remem-
bered as an old resident of Marshall coun-
ty. He leaves large family. He was
buried Oct. End. At his burial was an
unusually large concourse of friends.
Rev. j. L. Boyd preached the funeral
sermon, and Rev. X. Schroeder assisted
in the closing service.
The funeral services of Mrs. Coarse
wife of James A. Coarse, one of the old
est and best citizen, of Marshall County
was largely attended at the Presbyterian
Church, in this city, at II o'clock, NJ. yes
terday.
Also that of John G.. Osborne, on Mon.
day, in care OF the Episcopal Church, Ma
sonic Fraternity, and Marshall County
Bar.
John G. Osborne, was a well-known
citizen of this county. He has long been
sufferer, a. d was confneded to his bed
some weeks by his late illness. In Tor
mer years, he was an active member and
minister of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. The issues of the war were pos
sibly the ground on which his reli.
gious relations were changed, or rather a
precursor thereto He had retired from
the ministry on account of i'll health. He
was man of thought, and as minister
had able pulpit ability. As an Attorney
he stood among the formest, and doubt
less would have led, had his health per-
mitted. His mental powers largely over.
taxed his physical and his besetment was
always surplus of labor, which caused
US to wonder when seeing him at it.
To the memory of Dolly Belle Fisher, infan,
daughter of w. R. and Belle Fisher died on the lstf
of Sept, 1873, and was buried at Plymouth.
This little bud so sweet and fair,

with a fine mud, and remains of mic

The Wealth of Colorado.

The House bill for the admission OF
Colorado Is accompanied by a report,
which states that the proposed new
State contains 1000, 600 acres of public
land subject to cultivation, Is unsur-
passed as q grazing country, and has
immense deposits OF iron ore, with a
water power u%nequalled in the Union.
It Is larger than New England and the
State of Ohio. It has five railroads
entering Denver, four hundred. and
ninety miles Of completed railroad,
two hundred In course of construction,
and five thousand projected. The
census of 1870 shows q population Of
81, 1854, but the Committee on Terri
tories declare that this is inaccurate,
and claim a population ofGO, OO6. six
colonies having been located since
the census was taken. The actual vot-
ing population Is believed to be over
20, 900 being than in the three
Congressional districts in Vermont and
other States. Although the present
population Is below the ratio fixed by
law, the report believes 1t will b. quite
sufficient by the time the State is ad-
United. The Territory has no debt,
and levied no taxes last year.

What a Single Wave Can Do.

There Is a vessel in Queenstown har-
Dor of / ZOO tons, which received from
n single sea a surprising amount Of
damage. This vessel, u Norwegian,
was struck by q sea, or wave, of so
tremendous = character, In the late
gale, rs to sweep that portion Of her
cargo which was slowed upon the desk
in a moment into the sea to carry off
her cooking apparatus, made Of cast
iron to empty and injure her deck
house. to smash her bulwarks and
.stanchions, to wound and bruise three
of her men, and to reduce fore more to
n state of weakness and syncope ; to
break the mates thigh aud wash a
seaman over board, and finally to fill
the cabin and damage all the pro-
visions, so that the crew were nearly
starved when they came into Queens
town. All these injuries were pro-
duced In a moment BY a single wave.
1t not only cleared the deck, but 1t
extinguished hope in the hearts Of the
crew, who the moment they were
struck, never expected to see land
again.-[LriM Telegraph.

How He Cleaned His Chimney.

The Evansville, Indiana, Journal, OF
January 10Th, Is responsible for the
following:
II any one heard an explosion on
Main street, on Monday night, they
did not learn the cause. we are certain,
and the young gentleman who was tne
cause thinks they never Will. IL was
all done by a chimney sweeping oPer-
alton. A young gentleman, VINO mas
a nicely furnished room, has been an
noyed Of late BY his stove smoking.
and a friend told him 1t was because
his chimney was not clean. The friend
also told him the cheapest and quick
est way to clean 1t was with powder'
He seems not to have been very ex-
plicit in his directions, or the occupant
Of the room did not pay proper atten.
ton. He carefully fixed his stove
kindlings first, then coal In small
pieces, then large chunks, and then a
charge of powder. The stove was one
of Relker's Fanny" pattern, with
cook-holes and griddles, and he thought
the griddles might be blown on unless
he weighted them down. This he did
with Jumps of coal, placed his feet
against the door and touched It on.
There was q roar Of flames Tor a
n short time and then a crash. The
elegant young man turned a back som.
ersault over his chair. a piece Of coal
struck the middle of his looking-glass'
the stove-pipe danced a Jig all over the
room, and the soot-fakes fell gently
all over the white bed-spread.
The young inan's first impulse was
to shout fire. but he repressed 1t. anu
carefully opened his door to see II the
earthquake had been general. No one
was looking, and he retired In good
order. His lamp still burned. and he
saw how complete had been the wreck:
Ashes and SCOT covered carpet, bed
and other furniture, his gold-band
chamber.set was broken by a piece of
the stove door, and all the books OH
his centcr-tahle looked rs If an ele-
plant had been playing Skinny with
them. He had to 90 to u barber-shop
to wash his face and hands, for he had
no means lett at home, and he Is now
remedylng the damage by piece-meal,
buying and repairing at an expense OF
about $j0.

A Money Making Man.

The most industrious, as. we'll rs the
best paid and ablest clergyman In
America is Henry Ward Beecher. His
present salary, MS pastor OF the Fly
mouth Church, IL, | think $25, 1000. lie
has $4,000 a year as editor Of the
Christian Union. to which no gives his
name, and one article n week /; and he
earns some $40, 900 beside by tho little
lecturing and writing that he finds
time to do. He Is. probably, the most
popular lecturer IN the country. and
could earn n good deal of money In
that way if he were willing to sur
render other duties. lie has been
offered as high as $50, 900 and over 49,
600 q season by lecture agents, who
feel confident that even this high price
would leave them II large margin for
profit. Earning S45. 900 a year Is re-
marksble for any man ; and | question
If any other preacher on the planet can
match Beeclier In this respect. Genius
or talent in the pulpit is more likely
to be appreciated than anywhere else
rperhaps for the reason that 1t Is rarer.

SOME LEe1sLAr1vE MATTERS
CARSON. Feb. 5, 1873.

CARSON, Feb. 8. 1873.
ED. NEWS The Bill for tho relief
of the Rhoades bondsmen, is daily
growing into favor, and is even being
recommended by parties hitherto an
tagonistic to its passage. I think that
the change in public sentiment Is
mainly due to the stand the NEWS has
taken in the premises, and also find
that whenever and wherever the facts
connected with the whole matter are
fully and fairly set forth, instant con-
victlou follows.
A visit to the present office OF the
State Treasurer, and q view Of the
vault therein, goes a long way toward
proving to the skeptical how easy 1t
was for the former Treasurer to hood
wink the Board of Examiners, and
how impossible it Is under the present
management. If the report Of the Ex-
pert had shown that the d~efaication
had occurred entirely In the last term
Of Mr.. Rhoades' incumbency OF the Of
flee, not q man, not even the bonds
men themselves, would have thought
of a release, but 30 glaring Is the TACT
that all investigation goes to prove
that the defalcation existed prior to
1869; that no right thinking, unpreju-
diced man, can hesitate to pronounce
his dictum In favor Of the release Of
the bondsmen.
The organization Of Eureka county
Is now almost q foregone conclusion.
The fact that nine-tenths of those most
interested In Lander county are In
favor Of the division should be proof
to our Assemblymen Of the popularity
Of the movement. The vote In the
Senate was so largely in favor OF the
measure that that OF itself should be
another and . strong induccment to
the members Of the lower house to
concur.
W. of tho west are apt to look with
too jealous an eye on the growing
prosperity of the eastern counties Of
the State. forgetting that as they pro-
gress so does the revenue OF the State
increase, and every man who owns an
acre OF lallu Is so muCn lne uetteT OIL
for these lew developments, although
| the distance from the locality be meas
ured by hundreds of miles.
With reference to the resolution
| relative to the reduction Of freights and
| fares on the Central Pacific Railroad,
| shall tomorrow have II little some
thing to say; /, like many men have
become %prejudiced. and perhaps un.
justly so, against the method adopted
by the company regarding the disposi-
ton Of freight, and l find that ignor-
ance alone has been the cause Of my
antagonism to the institution. From y
statement containing statistics Of the
action Of the Union Pacific Railroad
aud other Eastern railroads, | have
come to the conclusion that much of
the Ill feeling existing against the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad may be abated by
n publication of simple facts. With
this end In view | have collated all the
data at my command and will forward
my conclusions tomorrow. +, .

Monster Bells Of the World.

In making large bells, loudness
rather than pitch Is the object, as the
sound can be carried to a much further
extent. This accounts for the cnor-
nous weight of some OF the largest
bells. st. Paul's, London, weighs 49,
900 pounds; and the bell Of Antwerp.
Is, 900 pounds Oxford. IL. 900 pounds
the bell at Rome, $4,000 pounds
Mechlin. 5000 pounds; Bruges, 3d.
900 pounds York, $4,000 pounds; Co
logne, $4,000 pounds Montreal, 30
600 pounds; Erfurt, 10000 pounds
"Big Benz" at tie House OF Parlia-
nent, $1,000 pounds; Sens. $4,000
pounds Vienna, 10000 pounds; Nor
corod, 60. 900 pounds; Pekin, 130, 900
pounds; Moscow, 14l,0O0 pounds. But
rs yet. the greatest bell ever known Is
another famous Moscow bell which
was never hung. 1t was cast by the
order Of the Empress Anne in 1853.
1t lies broken on the ground, and IS
estimated to weigh 443, 772 pounds. It
is nineteen feet high, and measures
around the margin sixty-four feet.
There are few bells of interest In the
United States. Tho heaviest Is proba-
bly, the alarm bell or the City Hall.
in New York, weighing about $4,000
pounds.

HONESTY STILL LIVES.

In these days of Credit Mobilier
swindling. Senatorial corruption, and
general developments Of w~ickedness
among the chief rulers and law max
ers Of the nation, 1t Is refreshing to
see that there are instances Of pure
moral rcctitude, proving that honest,
true. uncompromising rectitude still
exists within the hearts of some men.
1t is reliably reported that only a
week or two ago the members Of the
Missouri Legislature, one day to the
establishment OF everybody, perhaps
themselves included, did deliberately
walk up to tie clerks desk and then
and there in the most solemn and i'm
pressive manner, one after the other,
return the free passes which had been
furnished them by the several
railroad companies throughout the
State. Thus, while all the rest Of
the great men Of the nation seem
going to the bad, the Missouri
Legislature wheels majestically around
to the rescue, and stand forth in the
sublimity Of unbribed rectitude. They
spurn these irce-pass Credit Mobllier'
ish attempts to substitute and influence
their legislative actions. Will u leg.
islators down at Carson follow this
truly noble and shining example :
Will they follow suit, or will they
trump?

The Northern Pacific.

The Portland Oregonian has the fol-
lowing:
We have before referred to the re-
ported letting, BY the North Pacific
Railroad Company, of the contract for
the construction OF three hundred
miles Of their line. beginning ut some
point on the Columbia. not far from
the Umatllls, aud running eastward.
The Kalama Beacon, which claims to
be posted la regard to the doings Of
the Company, says: "As to the re-
ported contract Of w. S. King to con-
struct three hundred miles OH the Pa
cifc division this year, nothing official
has been communicated since our last
report. Mr.. King arrived IN San Fran
cisco on the 18th January, accompa.
MED BY F. E. Canda, the celebrated
railroad contractor. They IRE likely
to arrange the details Of their bust
ness at San Francisco without visiting
here at present. Most probably by
prearrangement. the officers Of the y.
S. N. Co. went to San Francisco two
weeks since to confer with Messrs.
King and Canda on the subject OF
transportation facilities to the Upper
for railroad material, ETC.,
during the coming season. A months
time may probably develop the pro-
gramme OF next Springs railroad cam
paign on the Pacific division"

The results Of the post-mortem ex-
animation in tho case Of Louis Napo-
leon, as communicated to the London
papers BY the surgeons who made it,
tends to confirm the previous reports
that he was killed by the blunders Of
his medical attendants. He was, it
seems, suffering from an incurable dis
ease, which must have soon terminated
fatally, but which 1t Is not pretended
did cause his death. Tho statement
that the "shock" attending the opera
tion proved fatal seems no more than
the phraseology in which. according to
professional etiquette, q number Of
physicians gravely announce that the
deceased came to his death at the hands
OF n number Of other physicians.

tic, to make the division. He did 1t at
