~ The last rail on the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad has been laid; the junction
of the eastern and western divisions of the
road is complete, and the course of the To-
comotiye is now free from the tidal water,

Chicago prides herself upon her liquor
saloons, some Of which are Of the most
gorgeous description. One Of them cost
sixty thousand dollars, and contains the
largest mirror in America, with a marble
bar, thirty-seven feet in length. Another
Is splendidly fitted up with pictures, mir
rors and siatuary, and dispenses FIVE hun
bred dollars worth of fluid daily. The
saloons in the city number nesry three
thousand, anl it will at once be perceived
that the temperance cause does not flourish
in that lively western town.

LITTLE GIANTs.-Last year there we're
eighteen ofthese improved hydraulic pipes
in use in this county, and they worked so
we'll that the number will be more than
trebled the present season. j. r. Driver,
Agent for this county, gives us the fol-
lowing list Of parties who have ordered
Giants within the past few weeks Har-
vey Bros. and Balch & Rule, Weaver
vile Trotter & Smiley and Chas. Tou

Chapman & Fisher, Junction City Jos.

Deiner, Minersville. Besides these, others
have lately arrived that had been ordered
direct from the mandatory, among
which were two for Isaac Woodbury's
Hay Fork claim, one for John Mahon
& Co., Weaverville, and several for
other parties whose names we do not
call to mind. Our miners are now puz-
zled to know how they got along so we'll
heretofore without the Giant. The gen.
eral opinion seems to be that a mining
claim cannot be worked without one of
them, and even that two or three will be
found paying investment.

HURT.-A couple of weeks ago, Ben
Essick was driving "dog" in the end
of log, when his mall struck knot on
another log which turned it from its course
in such way as to catch one of Essick's
fingers between the log and end of the
mall handle. Although very painful,
Ben thought nothing of it until within
day or two, when piece of bone began
to show itself, showing that the bone had
bscn mashed. Ben forthwith took the
injured digit to DR.. Lord for treatment,
and it is now improving nicely.

FROM TRINITY CENTRE" p. Ratie"
writes us under date of October 21st,
that the entire number of surviving Mo-
does, 161 in number, with their escort
passed through that place that morning,
on their way to the government reserva-
tion in Wyoming territory, which is to
be their future home. All the adult
males were in irons, except Scar faced
Charley, who rides at full liberty with
one of the drivers. Our correspondent
adds "Since the Modocs have cost the
government so much trouble and expense,
we had concluded they were an energet-
ic, intelligent and muscular tribe of Indi-
ans, and were sadly disappointed to see
them exactly the opposite. The fact
that age will change their hair from black
TO gray is the only popularity about
them worthy of note. Scar faced Char
ley is over an average specimen in stat
ure, being about five feet, two inches in
hight, very slender, sharp-featured, and
has large scar on his right cheek.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany is putting up new line from Cal
lahan's Ranch to French Gulch. The
line is completed to this place, and the
work is progressing rapidly under the di-
rection of the Superintendent, DR.. Plum
mer, Of Albany, Oregon.

stock of Fall and Winter goods. The

Natural Decay-Pr0sect the system.

The human body is a machine, and
therefore cannot endure forever but, like
watch or sewing machine, it will last
much longer if properly regulated and
duly repaired, than if no pains were taken
to keep it in order. The great object of
everyone who desires long and healthy
life should be to put the body in condi-
tion to resist the life threatening influences
by which we are all more or less sur
rounded and no invigorant and correct
i've atpresent known so effectively answers
this purpose as the vtalizing elixir which,
under the unpretending name of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, has been for more
than twenty years the standard tonic of
America. In crowded cities, where the
atmosphere is contaminated with the ef-
huvla inseparable from large populations
In marshy regions, where the soggy soil
rceks with miasma on the prairies and
In the forests, where every Fall the air is
tainted with exhalations from rotting
weeds and grasses, or decomposing leaves
in short, in every locality where malaria
exists, this powerful vegetable antidote is
urgently needed. Fever and ague, bill
ious fevers, dysentery, congestion of the
liver, jaundice, rheumatism. and all dis
eases which are generated by infected air,
impure water, or sudden changes of tenn
perature, may be averted by Strengthen
ing and regulating the system in advance
with Hostetter's Bitters. Autumn is al
ways season of peril, especially to weak
susceptible organizations. Even the more
vigorous are apt to be in some measure
depressed by the humid atmosphere, load
ed with deleterious gases produced by
vegetable decay. The Fall is period OF
the year when the renovation and regula-
ton of the living machine is peculiarly
important, and the Bitters should there
fore be taken daily at this critical season.

INJURED.-Last Monday, while John
Mitchell was assisting Mr.. Woodbury. in
tearing down an old cabin in Garden
gulch, the roof and upper part of the
building fell with crash, catching Mitch

Woodbury. and Sawyer got the unfortun-
ate man out and he was conveyed to the
hospital where he now is. under care of
Dr.. j. G. Montague. The Doctor in
forms us that he suffers from conclusion
of the lungs and is considerably bruised
about the pelvis. Although his injuries
are severe they are not fatal.

SHOULD BE ESToPPED.-Timber, suita-
BILE for fuel is very scarce in the immedi-
ate vicinity of this village, oak particu-
larly. Hard wood now has to be hauled
distance of from four to eight miles and
before many years cannot be procured
except at longer distances and must con-
sequently be sold at exorbitant prices, it
being even now $40 per cord. In view
of this fact, would it not be we'll for our
people to protect the young timber now
growing, and prevent It's being destroyed
until of sufficient size to meet the demand
for fuel We are led to these remarks
by having observed that the Chinese of
this neighborhood are cutting down innu-
merable small oak trees, from two to four
inches in diameter, which, if allowed to
remain would in few years become for
ests of excellent timber. We do not claim
that the Cinnamon have not as good a
right TO cut down these bushes as any
body else, for no one has that right, but
if the destruction of these young forests is
allowed to continue we will soon be with
out fire wood. The white men know this
and cut none but the large trees, and the
Chinese should be made to do likewise.
While in many other counties of this
State the people through their Supervisors
are offering rewards for the planting Of
trees, here unlimited destruction is allow
ed to go on without interference, and
that too, by race which has yet to sig
Nifty the slightest interest in the future
prosperity Of the State. The people Ger.
tainly have moral, if not a legal right
demand that this uncalled for destruction
of the source of our future fuel supplies
should at once cease and they should
take measures to enforce the demand
without delay.

INSANE. - On Monday last, Sidney
Smith, of Canon City, was adjudged in
sane, and Tuesday morning Sheriff Flow
ers started with him for the Asylum at
Stockton. His malady is the effect Of
soltening of the brain, which has troubled
him for several years, and has eliminated
in insanity. Until recently his periodical
attacks have not assumed violent dis
position, but of late his actions have been
such that the safety of his family was en-
dangered and it was deemed prudent to
have him placed in the Asylum. Mrs.
Smith accompanied the Sheriff to Stock
ton with her husband.

In LUCK.-Some six weeks ago, w.
ID. Sutherlin, late of this place but now
residing at Gold Hill, Nevada, invested
in " Consolidated Virginia that being
mine on the Comstock lode, and then
quoted at $50 per share. Since that time
the stock has been watered to the extent
of making six shares out of one, and has
risen so rapidly in the market that it is
now worth $50 per equivalent to
1850 per share of the original stock. We
have heard the amount invested by Suth-
erin variously estimated at from 81 900
to $4,000, but whatever the amount may
be, every dollar is now equivalent to 81 so.
