RUNAwAY.-The horse attached to Dwyer g.
Gubbay grocery wagon, started from the depot,
last Monday, on his own responsibility, and find
ing no one at the rens to dispute his inclina-
tons, concluded to have run. Though he
neared the town at rather lively rate, there was
no damage done until he came to the crowded
business center, where the streets were so.ab-
structeu that evidently he found it neeessary 70
take tcthe sidewalks. This experimepk4 4qotoi1
unhealthy to some of the awning posts near the
plaza, and especially to the boxing around Geo
Keehner's fine shade trees. Finding his course
thus obstructed, the horse seemingly concluded
to go home, and in turning short for that pur-
pose, he made 80 miscaleuation, upset the wagon,
rolled the hay il contained into the street, and
fell faton his side, with q jolt that would have
knocked the steam out Of the boiler of a ten
horsepower engine. Here was chance for the
gathering throng who envied the horse this little
sef-indulgence in unbridled exercise, and in less
than jffy, something less than twenty men
jumped upon him, and in spite of his struggling
efforts, he was held close to terra frma. The
excitement drew as well AS circus troup in the
South, while it lasted, though the entire cost,
including awning posts, tree-casings, and shaft,
will, probably, not exceed double eagle.

PRAISE SERVICE Last Sabbath evening, at
the M. E. Church, was given another of those
entertainments which soften the adamant hearts
OF wayward men. As the Conference year will
soon close, the congregation and Sabbath
school, appreciating the service If Rev. Mr.
Dodge, and feeling it duty to give the whole
community an opportunity of testifying their
regards also, got up and successfully carried
through grand praise service, which will be
long remembered. The bell rang at seven, and
before half-past seven the Church was full. and
by the time the exercises commenced (S G 'clock)
1t was crowded, up stairs and down. Rev. Mr..
Dodge being obliged to be in San Francisco on
Monday morning, Rev. Mr.. Peters, of Dixon
Solano county, oficiated in his place The
opening piece was " America" which was heart

presiding at the organ.

in which the audience united After this, a
beautiful duet, by Misses Sawyer and Longsjon
At the conclusion Of the reading of the 147th
Psalm, the audience joined in singing the
hymn "Zion." At the close of this piece q
quartette was sung, in which Mr.. Caverhill car
ried the base, to his credit Then Miss Salsig

by Mrs. Tagsart and Miss Longsdon, was
rendered with good effect; accompanied
also by the Harp. At this point the chaplain
suggested the idea of gathering the harvest,
and appointed four Sabbath School scholars to
take up the collection, stating that it would go
towards paying Rev. Mr. Dodge's salary. While
the money was being counted, Ewes Lamerta-
ton, by Mrs. Crutcher, was uniquely empha-
sized. Here the chaplain announced the amount
collected, $47 so, and was OF the opinion that

After few complimentary remarks by the chap
Ian, and the singing of the Siclan Hymn"
the benediction was pronounced. Before the
audience dispersed the amount was increased to
the round sum of $50. Through the whole ex-
ercises the entire congregation seemed to enjoy
themselves finely, and, to all appearance, were
well pleased, expressing the hope that some
such meeting should be held every month, for
the purpose of reviving and extending good feel

The Eucalyptus as an Anti-malarial
 Influence.

We speak somewhat positively in regard
 to the sanative or anti-malarial influence
 of the eucalyptus, If all, or even part of
 the evidence we have read on the subject,
 coming from sources entitled to the ut
 most confidence, is true, we are certainly
 justified in so doing. But we are not ac-
 customed to speak positively or to say in effect we know, unless we have the evi- Gence of our own observation or personal experience. In regard to the anti-malarial influence of the eucalyptus, we have this
 conclusive evidence. We have given it
 what we regard as reasonably fair test
 on our own farm. This is cultivated by
 two families or companies of Chinese.
 One company lives near the north and the
 other the south end of the premises, about
 three fourths of mile apart. The local
 ities both parties inhablt are favorable to
 the development of malaria. The soil is
 rich, moist, and teeming with vegetable
 life, and the free sweep of the prevailing
 wind is obstructed by the intervention of
 dense thickets. As might be expected,
 they have, every year, during the heated
 term, suffered with malarial fever. Last
 winter we determined to test the much
 vaunted virtues of the eucalyptus. In
 February we gave to the party at north end two ounces of the seed, with directions that it should be planted near the house. It germinated finely and produced several thousands of young plants, but the frost killed most of them. About twelve hun dred, however, survived. These, when the heated term commenced, had attained an average height of two feet, and emitted a strong aromatic or camph0rous odor perceptible at a distance of a hundred yards. In due time the party t the south end were visited by their usual mildly distressing fever, but up to the present time we have looked in vain for the first symptoms to develop in the other. They are all, to their own astonishment, in the | most robust health. These trees now average more than three feet in height, | and the atmosphere at the house is strongly | impregated with their odor We have | investigated in vain for some ether cause to which to attribute the anomalous state | of health of the inmates and can find rone but the reputed sanative properties of this tree. We have finally become convinced | from the evidence of our own senses that it will do all the current accounts given | of it allege, and propose, the coming sea- son, to plant 1t on all the waste places and corners on our farm we can spare from other purposes. If everybody would do | the great valley of Kern county might soon take rank among the sanita- riums of the State, because as yet no dis ease except a mild type of malarial fever has shown itself Every landowner, be his possessions large or small, should put it Tn the light of duty to plant more or less of eucalipti as soon as the proper sea- son arrives.-Kern County Courier, Sep tember l9.
