LANDS IN NEvADA.-The July number
Of the San Francisco Real Estate Circular
has the following item, which is inter
esting to those in search OF lands on this
coast:
The Central Pacific Railroad Company
owns some millions of acres OF land in
California and Nevada, embracing every
variety of mountain, hill and valley land.
soil and climate. All OF these lands are
for sale on the most favorable terms. The
range of prices is from $3.50 to 81 80 an
acre, and five years credit given to buyers.
The lands lie along the lines of railroads
now in operation. The company's policy
of selling at low prices and on long time
is due to the fact that it is for its interest
to have the lands speedily put into the
possession of actual settlers, who will
pay the taxes thereon, develop the re-
sources of the State, create business and
increase taxable property.

SLIM JIM, the Beard monte sharp, and
his band Of thieves, arrived at Reno last
night on an emgrant train from the
East. The Central Pacific Railroad
Company has done much to prevent
these men robbing emigrants and other
greenies from the East, in the way of
posting notices in the cars warning
passengers against betting, but more
might be done. The company cannot
deny them the privilege of riding on the
cars so long as they pay their fare, but
conductors should be instructed to notify
passengers, one and all, whenever Slim
Jim and his crowd appear upon train,
that they are thieves. This would starve
them from the road and eventually send
them to the State Prison, where they

Let her flaps fly behind her for a yard

Let her curls meet just under her chm {;
Let those curls be supported, to keep

With one hundred, instead Of one pin.
Let her gown be tucked up to the hip

Shoes too high for to walk or to jump !;
And to deck the sweet creature COM

You will find You have lost half OF your

BaS" FATAL AccIDENT.-About 9 o.
clock last Saturday night, an accident
occurred on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, at Point of Rocks, which re-
suited in the death of one man named
Samuel Noggle, and injuring another,
named John Grace, so badly that his
life is despaired Of 1t appears that the
two men attempted to cross the road
Just as an eastward bound freight train
was coming, which they saw. They sue
ceeded in crossing the track in safety,
but as they stepped off the one to the
other track to avoid the train going
East, they were struck by a freight
train going West, which they did not
see nor hear. Noggle was so badly in
iured that he died in about half an
hour afterwards. Grace was also most
terribly mutilated, having one leg cut
off and the foot of the other smashed,
and there is but little hope of his recov-
cry. Both of the unfortunate men were
residents of the above named place, and
were day laborers.

Under the Ohio Liquor Law, the

keepers, by Mrs. Rebecca Chapman, wife
of Samuel Chapman, one Of the most
able lawyers of the Muskingham bar.

Mary Lewis her claim OF damages, to
the amount of $4,000, against Thomas

This was the case where Mary Lewis

B~ POSTAL CARDs.-Inquiries hav-

the postal cards, it is well to state for
the information of the public generally
that the Post-oflice Department regards
them in this respect precisely as scale d
letters. No postotfice official has any
more right to inspect what is written on
a postal card than he would have to
open a sealed letter and acquaint him
self with its contents.

Discoveries of silver ore, in paying
quantities are reported in Putnam conn-
ty, West Virginia, on the lands of Mr..
Henry Pike. The story of the discov-
cry is curious. Mr.. Pike was mining
for coal, and after going in from eighty
to to ninety feet found vein of what he
sunnosed to be black-band iron ore.
Some samples of this ore taken from the
outcroppings of the vein were taken to
his Office. where they remained some
time. The late S. n. Pike, happening
to see these specimens while on visit
to the discoverer, who was his brother
at once announced them to he silver
ore. Several of them were thereupon
placed in the hands of different essayers,
and were found to yield silver in vari-

err clearly and forcibly set forth the re-
ciprocal duties growing out of the pas

On Thursday morning Chassis was

The pastoral reports read by the diff
erent. ministers and the answers OF the
lay delegates to the constitutional cues
lions propounded to them indicated that
there had been during the past year an
increased and increasing interest taken,
by the congregations ministered to, IN
the means of grace as dispensed during
the year, and that the accesslons TO the
Church were larger than they had been
for number of years previous, and this
to in the face Of the fact that several OF
the charges have been without pastors
Considerable was done during the
year for the cause of Beneficiary Edu-
cation and Missions. The measures III
augurated by the Board of Missions OF
"the SYNOD of the Potomac" to which
this Chassis belongs, will no doubt, as
we hope, give a new impetus to the
cause of Missions within the bounds OF
this Chassis. The congregation OF VIM
chester was referred to the favorable
consideration of the Missionary Board,
and will no doubt, soon secure, through
its aid, regular pastor. Until them
provision has been made tor it by the
appointment of a committee of supply.
