LEAF TOBACCO.

Our market is quiet but active under very
heavy receipts and offerings, nearly all of which
/. very inferior in quality. Our Oldest buyers
assure us they have never seen a crop SO poor in
quality as that portion of the crop which has
reached this market 1t is generally believed
here that our planters are holding back all their
best grades for spring order and pricing, and
only sending forward now their lowest grades.
When the quality Of the tobacco now being
offered is considered, we do not think there Is
any cause for CONF laint as to the prices paid on
the part Of The planters.

Mr.. Sutro says that the product OF the

Of his tunnel 10 at least double that
amount. Also, that the number OF
miners employed. now 5000. will be at

"Sharon's crooked railroad" will be
taken in through his tunnel, and the g.

show that the royalty on this ore at 81

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY OF CoAL.-We
are informed that a party Of men en-
gagged in blasting rocks to improve the
channel OF the Little Truckes river. four
miles above Boca. discovered a coal vein
yesterday. The vein is about Is inches
thick, and the coal has been tested and
burns freely. We have not seen the
article and only speak from hearsay. IL
has been contendsd by biologists that
there could not DO any such thing As fos-
sill or stone coal in this region. The
opinions OF biologists are not always in
falliblo. and we trust in this case they
may be in error. Ifa good article Of fos-
sill coal can be found here in considera-
bic quantities. il will be Of great advan-
tage TO the c. p. r. r., aud really worth
more TO this community than the discov-
cry Of a dozen valuable gold or silver

will be made Immediately and IL We have
a genuine coal formation in this portion
Of the Sierra Nevada II will soon be

An Oakland %Bar.keeper's Disastrous

When he tackled the animal he had q
pocket full OF gold pieces and u certi-
fed check for $1,000. When he left the
lair he was minus his money and the
check, and he at once proceeded TO the
Police Office and sworo out . warrant
for the arrest OF Charles ID. Summers,
charging him with conducting a game OF
faro. That individual was arrested and
gave bail, and the case vas set for
Wednesday. Summers put in an APP

come to time, and 1t was supposed that
he had been bought of by the gamblers.

Washington and Creole mine are very
flattsring. Yesterday we saw in Wells,
Fargo 4 Co.. express Office seven bars
Of q total value OF about $1,000, which
was the product Of about 10 tons OF ore.
Bullion enough to make three more bars

Tarpey, the active and yigilsnt superin-
tendent, informs us that during the
present month, at least sl5, 600 will be
shipped from this mine, with every
prospect Of . continuance OF . like

not surprising to us, for we have never
for q moment faltsrcd in our belief, that
the mines OF Phoebe will be as profitable
as syer they were. and perhaps more so.

SHOOTING At BELMoSr.-A shooting

day, between George Booth, son OF John
Booth, editor Of the Belmont Courier,

The ball entered about two inches below
the right nipple and passed out OF the
side, directly across from whore 1t en-

from q scurrilous attack made on the

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with
palpitation, another with trouble of the breast,
another with pain here and there, and in this
way they all present, alike to themselves and
their easy-going and Indifferent doctors, fsepar-
ate and distinct diseases, for which he prescrbes
his pills and potions, assuming them to be
such when, i'll reality, they are all symptoms
caused by some uterine disorder and while they
are thus only able perhaps to palliate for a
time, they are ignorant of the cause, and en-
courage their practice until large bills are made,
when the suffering pat tents arc no better in the
end, but probably worse for the delay, treat
ment, and other complications made, and which
proper medicine directed to tho cause would
have entirely removed, thereby instituting
health and comfort instead OF prolonged
misery.

Surveyors Saved by a Horse.

Some years since, party of SURVEYORS
had just finished their days work in the
northwestern part of Illinois, when vio-
lent snow storm came on. They started
for their camp, which was in forest of
about eighty acres in large prairie,
nearly twenty miles from any other trees.
The wind was blowing very hard, and
the snow drifting SO as to nearly blind
them.
When they thought they had nearly
reached their camp, they all at once came
upon footsteps in the snow. These they
looked at with care, and found, to their
dismay, that they were their own tracks
1t was now plain that they were lost on
the great prairie, and if they had to pass
the night there, in the cold and snow,
the chance was that not one of them
would be alive in the morning. While
they were shivering with fear and cold,
the chief man caught sight of one of
their horses, gray pony known as old
Jack.
Then the chief said elf any one can
show us our way to camp, out of this
binding snow, old Jack can do it. will
take off his bride and let him loose, and
we can follow him. I think he will show
us our way back to camp"
The horse, as soon as he found him
self free, threw his head and tail in the
air, as if proud of the trust that had
been put upon him. Then he snuffed the
breeze, and gave loud snort, which
seemed to say, "Come on, boys! Fol
low me. I'll lead you out of this scrape. ("
He then turned in q new direction, and
trotted along, but not 80 fast that the
men could not follow him. They had
not gone more than mile when they saw
the cheerful blaze of their camp fires,
and they gave loud huzza at the sight,
and for old Jack.

It Runs Like q Prairie Fire I

DR.. Walkers Vinegar Bitters runs like
prairie fire. The fame of the temper
anoe tonic is, however, but poorly e1em-
phfed by this figure of speech for a.
prairie fire runs only in one direction,
whereas the reputation of the Bitters
spreads toward all points of the compass.
There is not square mile of inhabited
territory in the United States where this
meritorious preparation is not appreci-
ated. If any theoretical gentleman
thinks he is prepared to show that there
is "nothing in it," we advise him to go
to the Prairie States, in the Mississippi
Valley, to the deltas of the Southern riv-
ers, to Now England, in fact, anywhere
within the limits of "Uncle Sans real
estate" and ventilate his views. By so
doing he can raise heartier and more
general laugh than has ever yet shaken
the sides of an intelligent people. Per-
sons who have been cured can't help
laughing at other people, who tell them
that the medicine which saved their lives
is a failure.

How to Avoid Colds.

An editorial in the British Medical
Journal, on catching cold, concludes
thus The practical considerations which
are the outccmes of this review of the
pathology of colds are these Never to
wear wet clothes after active muscular
exertion has ceased, but to change them
at once to meet the loss of the body
heat by warm fluids and dry clothes to
avoid long sustained loss of heat which
is not met by increased production of
heat to increase the tonicity of the YES
sells of the skin by cold baths, etc., so
educating them to contract readily on ex-
posure, by partial adoption indeed of
the hardening" plan to avoid too
warm and debilitating rooms and tenn
peratures to take especial care against
too great loss CT heat when the skin is
glowing (; and to prevent the inspiration
OF cold al. by the mouth by some pro-
teeting agent, as respirator. We can
readily understand how q respirator
should be an effective protection against
winter bronchitis in those SO disposed.
