That SORE HEAD-A certain amable youth,
whom it will not be improper to call Adophus.
has been walking the streets lately, with his head
tied up in rag, and many of the knowing ones
are whispering it around that he and Mr.. Sprin-
gle, the father of Syntha Sprlngle, whom Adolf
phus used togo and see, have had trouble and
that the old man has really beat Adolphus over
the head. These wrong impressions sometimes
cause trouble, therefore, hasten to explain
all. The truth is this. Adolphus was badly
tangled in the meshes of loves snares, and
greatly to his delight, but much to the annoyance
of her dear parents, the fair one reciprocated his
tender passions. Finally Adolphus was forbid
den from coming inside the house. Not the
least daunted at this parental cruelty, an ar
rangement was promptly made for meeting at
the front gate, when the clock struck eight and
the old folks shaped for retiring. The shrewd
sire discovered their plan, and the fair one
was sent off to bed. Little dreaming Of disap-
pointment, Adolphus for fear of being late was
seen near the gate exactly at eight. Now, it
somehow happened that an old white cat had
curied herself for the night on top of the gate
post. 1t was very dark night. and when the
youth caught sight of this streak of white, he did
not take to flight. but supposed it handkerchief
tied around the swan-like neck of his love-
Fearing to go directly to her, lest it might be her
mother, he concluded to walk slowly by. On
getting few rods down the street, he stopped
and whispered don't she know me; I'll go clos
er.' Turning around he retraced his steps, this
time passing closer by the gate; as he passed he
observed the white object more slightly, though,
still it spake not On getting a few rods beyond,
the youth again stopped and pondered. ut can
be none other than my love. who wishes to try
my courage, III go directly to her, Thus
saying he made for the gate, On approaching
the spot, he softly whispered, "Syntha, at the
same time reached out his arm to place it
around that snowy neck, when the old white cat
gave g new" and jump towards the house,
and Adolphus screamed and jumped away from
the house. As the poor fellow lit. he fell, and
in the fall he struck his head against a hitching
post, and as he don't 60 there any more. people

Ar the railroad meeting. last Monday night,

AT the railroad meeting last Monday night,
the Committee, appointed to solicit subscriptions
to the stock, reported that on account of SO
many people having been away at the State
Fair, they had made no attempt to do anything.
They reported further, that. though they had
made no effort the subscription had been in
creased from 50, 400, to 49, 450. by parties who
came voluntarily and put down their names for
certain amounts. The names of those who thus
voluntarily subscribed, and the amounts of their
subscriptions, since our last report are as fol-

Lively D1xoN.-It seems from correspond
ence recently received from Dixon, in Solano
county, that they have been having lively times
there recently. Last Sunday week ago, row
occurred between Leopold Goity, owne. of the
Dixon Brewery, and Kruger & Sievers proprie-
tors of the Olympic saloon, in which the former
was shot dead. The same day constable Barnes,
of that place, was severely cut by a Mexican,
while attempting to arrest him; and the same
Sunday evening, two sons Of Emerald got
into trouble, and one cut the others bowels out.
Our correspondent thinks there is good open
ing there for some of Auburn's surplus legal
talent

NAMEs.--The recent announcement that " DR..
Carpenter will soon return to Auburn, led some
of our people into a warm discussion on the
significance of names. Some held that there was
nothing in a name, while others protested that
the name went long way with some people.
An elderly doctor says, "why, just hate my
name, believe ]. would have been married long
ago, if had not such an outlandish name y
Another elderly professional (Blackstone) spoke
up, and said 'There may be something
i'll that doc- but if you will give me dollar
and half, will trade with you" The doctor
seemed eager for the bargain, and it doubtless
would have been consummated at once, only for
the "tightness of the money market" AS soon
as the amount can be raised, we shall have the
