Do You SUSPECT ANYBODY ?-The Har-
rodsburg People is responsible for the follow
ing anecdote:
"Our townsman, Captain Cardwell, tells the
following anecdote of one Of the elder Breck.
ingidges-now passed away-a lawyer, and
distinguished in his profession. A regular
frequenter at his Office was an old gentleman
who never had any business, but who regard
ed Mr.. Breckenridge as the greatest man in
the country, and would listen with avidity
whenever the lawyers leisure allowed him to
talk. This old gentleman, by the way, was
given to making queer and sometimes start.
ling remarks-all in the utmost innocence Of
any evil intention or misconduct whatever.
One day the lawyer did not open his office,
and the old gentleman was deprived of his
daily occupation. The next day, however,
Mr.. Breckenridge made his appearance, when
the old man said, somewhat testify, "A law.
yer should always be found in his office
Very true,' responded Mr.. Breckenridge,
but a very unusual occurrence kept me at
home. For the first time in fifteen years my
wife gave birth yesterday to a baby Eff
teen years. CALCULATED the old gentleman,
looking over the rim Of his spectacles. Then
lowering his voice to mysterious whisper.
he said: And do you suspect anybody !?
The old gentleman's character, manner, &C.,
made the joke too good to keep, and Mr.
Breckinridge laughed as heartily as did his
friends when he told it."

GRACE.

GRACE.
Whatever God in creation, providence or
redemption, bestows upon US, is grace Every
thing that we have and are, except sin, is Of
grace. Our being is the gift of God. Hea-
ven, with all its glories, is a gift purchased
for believers. Not only so, but the marvel
Gus change which takes place in the sinner
by which he ceases to be child Of Satan, and
heir to perdition, and become a child Of God,
and heir to heavenly Inheritance is all of
grace. No man can come to the Saviour en-
cept the father draw him. John 6: A. This
Drawing of the sinner is grace. 1t is gift
No man can give another a new heart nelth-
er can he give him faith. 1t is the perroga-
tive of God alone to give the sinner new
heart. Paul may plant and Apollos may
water; but the increase depends upon the
power of Gods Holy Spirit. Everything in
mans salvation from beginning to end, is Of
grace. The song of the redeemed in heaven
is to Him that loved them and gave himself
for them.

SUICIDE OF MAJOR FERREND,

Last Tuesday, Major Geo. E. Fer
rend, the well known saloon-keeper OF
Virginia City, shot himself in the
head with a pistol and died from the
effects of the wound a few hours after
ward. Major Ferrend was we'll known
on the Pacific Coast, and the following
"reminiscences of his life, published in
Wednesdays Enterprise, will doubt
less be perused with in,eres, by many
of our readers:
Major Ferrend was born in Lanca-
shire, England, and came 10 America
when a boy, landing at Baltimore,
Maryland. The WinanS, inventors of
the cigar steamer had large IRON
works at Baltimore, and, requiring
some workmrii OF superior skill, sent
to England for them, Among ;hese
came Major Ferrend's father, accom-
panied by George and his mother and
sister. The Major was ssnt back To
England, after a time, to relatives re-
siding there, and these finally sent
him to the Military Academy, a,
Wooiwieh. He finally received the
commission of Ensign and went into
the regular army. Here he bad
trouble Of some kind and sold ont. he
mex went to Buenos Ayres, where he
was the leading spirit in a revolution
which was successful: but the rule,
whom he had succeeded in placing in
power soon became jealous OF him
and The English and American resi-.
dents who had aided him, and plotted
80 successfully that he was able shortly
10 drive them all out of the country
The Major then came to California

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. II.
At the inquest on the body of Frank
Curley the jury found that deceased
anne to his death from the wounds OF
a knife inflicted by Frank McEvery,
and that the latter is guilty of mur
der.
Last night. at the fire in the forge
factory of VIM. Englander, No. ISL
Market street, the engines were not
used. The fire was put out with a
BabcOck fire eXtingnisher, carried by
No. / Hook and Ladder Company.
Most of the machinery was saved and
material. The total loss amounts to
$4,000; insured.
James Mcnamara arrived from an
interior town and put up at the Central
House. Yesterday the proprietor en-
tered McNamara's room and was as
toni>hed to see Mcnamara lying on the
bed saturated with blood. Dr. Stivers
was sent for, and found five wounds
four fatal. Mcnamara WAS closely
questioned, but he was unable to give
information as to who inflicted the
wounds or how or where they were
given.
Charles NJ. Smith died last night at
IL o'clock ofthe wounds he yesterday
inflicted on himself.
This afternoon, Coroner Swan in.
quested the body of Charles NJ. SIN tn,
shot in the head yesterday morning at
SOB Folsom street. The evidence
showed he was alone in the room at
the time, and four shots were fired.
When the inmates of the house en-
tered the apartment, he was lying on
a sofa inSen>ible and bleeding at the
mouth. A Colts f~ive-shooter was ~
ing on the floor 4 few tee distant from
him. All the chambers had been dis
charged. The only wound found was
in the roof Of mis- mouth. He survived
10 hours. Before death he recovered
his senses sufficient to tell his brother
that he took the pistol from
the bureau drawer, and it was dis.
charged by his hitting it against The
bureau. The jury rendcredn verdict
