from the Record Of June AL
Between 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday
morning a fire broke ont In a small
house on a street back Of Meadow Val.
ley street, occupied by j. G. AleXan'
der. It created a great blaze and
caused considerable commotion, arous.
ing many of our people from theil
slumbers. How the fire originated
the occupant of the building is unable
to say. 1t came upon him so unex'
pectedly that his hair and moustache
were singed before he awoke. Seeing
the fire all around AND above him, he
grabbed his pants and escaped. All
his bedding, clothing, provisions. etc,
were consumed by the fire. There
were no buildings nea by ; so the fire
had nothing else to feed upon, and no
other damage was done.
Mr.. Wilmarth, the Principal, in
forms as that there are 100 pupils en-.
rolled, but from some cause the aver
age attendance does not exceed %
Three separate rooms are appropriat-
ed to school purposes. We are assur.
ed that the general progress Is good
among those pupils who are regular In
their attendance.
At the San Francisco Brewery,
Meadow Valley street, a few evenings
since. there was some extra lager beer
drinking. Ten men, from S o'clock z.
NJ. to midnight, drank 45 gallons Of
lager beer-in the nelghborhood of Sc
glasses each. We challenge any town
In the State to beat that.
Yesterday afternoon, by some means
not yet definitely known, fire caught
in a pile of wood near the Bowery
hosting works, and about 100 cords of
wood were consumed.

Gently arrested In San Francisco as one

Phoebe Mining Items.

We col!ate the following from the
Records local mining review of the
22d inst:
The Washington and Creole shipped
last week $6,300-next week Will, as
we are assured, ship between $4,000
aud 81, OO0-shipments will hereafter
be made weekly. They are now TAX
Ing out about ten tons n day-an aver
age assay from which shows $l00 to
the ton. Working about 40 men. An
other winze Is being sunk, from which
drifts are being u east n west, the
ledge averaging two feet In width
from top to bottom. In stopping up
from top to bottom, the average width
in the slopes is about three feet. This
stope Is 70 feet long-running east and
west from the main drift. Prospect
ing for new developments Is going on
as heretofore. The outlook of this
mine was never better than ut present.
The June shipment will be ut least
$50. 900.
The recent developments in the
American Flag mine, at the depth OF
625 feet from the surface, still con-
tlnue to improve In character. Inc
vein matter at this point Is the full
width of the shaft, the ore body being
two feet wide. The number of hands
employed throughout the mine Is fifty
two. The slopes are yielding the same
amount of ore to the number Of mel
employed as heretofore. The mine Is
being prospected az rapidly as posi-
BILE. Ore Is being shipped daily to the
Amador mill, which Is doing good
work.
In the Raymond & Ely the usual
amount of ore is being extracted and
shipped with the same uniformly good
returns In the shape of bullion. Work
on the new S0.horse power engine Is
progressing as fast rs Is consistent with
the nature Of the work, and all other
outside work is going rapidly forward.
The drift from the maiu shaft In the
| Alps mine Is now in 235 feet without
cutting the ledge. From the 16i-foot
level rich ore is being constantly eX-
tracted. The vein at this point is two
feet wide, q portion Of which however
is not considered rich enough to mill
at present.
The Phoebe Is working the usual
number Of hands, and taking out ore
faster, perhaps, than ut any previous
time In the history Of the mine. VIII
resume delivering ore at the Amador
mill about July /.
The Bowery is still working Oh ore
from the recent strike. Expected to
commence crushing this week, but have
determined to defer it till the lst proX.

A WARM debate occurred yesterday
in the English House of Commons.
over the passage to Its second reading
of the Canada Loan Guarantee bill.
1t was violently opposed by Sir Charles
Dixie. who denounced the Canada Pa.

job. Gladstone supported the bill and
declared that Canada had suffered BY
the Fenian raids on England's accoun,
and had chosen to cancel the debt they
owed her BY this method. He denied
the loan was hush money. but said il
was the payment Of a just demand o
Canada against them. The bill wa

Employment for Fowls.

TO keep fowls from eating eggs
and each others feathers, and to keeT
them in good health, give them some
thing to do. There will generally De
no trouble about teather.e eating when
fowls have their liberty all the while
and are well fed, and the same is true
of egg-eating. But when it is nec-
essary to contine them, the owner
should make it his study to keep them
at work. One good method is t.
cover their yard, when not in grass,
with some sort Of litter-straw, leaves,
corn stalks, salt hay, sea weed, veget-
able tops, &c, and then scatter grain
over this frequently, and cover most
of it. This will necessitate "scratch-
ing for 1t, and they will undertake ii
without any further urging, Where
litter is abundant the work Of tn,
fowls in scratching may lie utilized in
getting the litter reduced to "verN
fine tilth," as farmers say Of ground
we'll prepared for seed. They will
scratch q moderate layer Of straw OF
salt hay out Of sight after awhile, il
allowed to do so, and even corn stalks
also, after sufficient exposure to the
weather has made the stalks brittle.
Another good plan is to plow o
spade their c'osure frequently SOW
it with corn or other grain, and har-
row Or plow this under. Il will soon
sprout, and while the green tops will
be eagerly eaten, the half decomposed
grain is also a dtinty food |or fowls,
and the wolk Of scratching it cut W Il
furnish agreeable employment and ex-
ercise till it is all gone. And still
another excellent p an is to lightly
bury beef heads or tough pieces of re
fuse meat in the chicken yard. III
due time, in warm weather, this be
comes Inhabited, which the hens are
not slow in discovering, OF course
scratchingjs is resorted to, and their re-
ward is not cnly the crop Of offensive
insects themselves, but the putlid flesh
also, in>amountS proportioned to their
industry. Fortunately a chickens
gizzard is q chemical laboratory OF
such power that everything going into
it is deodorizod and purified before
being changed into flesh and eggs,
and so there reed be no scruples abou
feeding such articles. Let the ownel
exercise his ingenuity to keep his
fowls at scratching, and it will c,ose
the door to many vicious habits. d.

WORKING RAILROADS ON SUNDAY
The locomotive engineers on the New
York Central and Hudson River rail.
roads have concluded to petition its
president to discontinue running
freight trains on Sunday, and conduc,
tors, fremen and brakemen join in
the petition. They say the freight
can all be moved on the six working
days of the week. In Canada the
matter Of working railroads on Sun
day has been brought up in Parlia-
ment. Half Of the eleven thousand
persons employed on the Canada roads
are worked en- Sunday. In the mari
time Provinces public opinion is
strongly opposed to Sunday labor on
railways; and the opposition is 50
strong that in IIaliflx the street cars
have been Obliged to discontinue their
Sunday trips. Some of the New Jer-
sey villages which lie on the way to
the watering places, and whose quiet
was disturbed ,ast summer by the run
ming of Sunday trains, have united in
strong protest against it. On the
PENNSYLVANIA Ceatral road the prac-
tice Of running trains on Sunday was,
for the most part, long since abolish
ed, and the employees have Sunday as
a day Of literal rest.

thing and everything with money
Such creed is idolatrous, denying in
reality Gods supremacy, putting the
power of money above the power of
God, and so desiring money more
than God. If as a nation we possessed
more of simple faith in AUST and holy
God, crime would be less heaven
defying, murder would cease its high
carnival, fashion and the general
"shqminess," and shallowness perva
ding modern lie would decline. The
Godlike is genuine. The hardy noble
virtues, of freedom, honesty, charity,
grow best when men believe that
God rules in righteousness, upholding
truth, ultimately overthrowing wicked
ness.
