A Boy, Intending TO shoot n Thief,
shoots Himself,

A little son of Mr.. Thos. r. Love, OF
Galletin, being under the impression that
somebody had been stealing turnips from
bis fathers patch, climbed upon an out
building last Saturday evening fer The pur-
pose Of detecting the thief he then asked
a smaller brother to hand him his shot
gun, with a view of putting hole through
that turnip fancier, in case he did detect
him, being under the impression that that
was the best possible use to which a thief
and especially tgrnip thief-could be
put.
The little fellow handed the weapon to
his brother, muzzle upwards, and as the
latter seized it, the hammer caught and the
weapon was discharged, the load of shot
entering the face of the boy on the build
ing, passing in at his left cheek and shat
tering his right jaw, the charge passing en-
tirely through the face, inficting a severe
and probably fatal wound. The boy is

Senator Jones' wedding.

Prom the san Francisco Chronicle. Nov. 9o.l
Great interest has been excited
by the news OF the forthcoming mar
risee Of Senator John p. Jones and Miss
Georgia Sullivan. He Is at present set
Ting up some important business Affairs
which have to be arranged prior to his
departure for Washington to assume his
public duties. The date OF the wedding
will be shortly announced, but a II will
take place the evening before he leaves
for Warrington. the public reception
will be delayed until his return, and
thsre consequently will BE- no cards.
The following extract from q private let
ter received in Washington contains
sundry particulars which will be OF inter
est 10 many Of our readers: How will
Washington feel when Senator Jones
returns with his fair young bride' For
he is really to be married TO Miss Sui
Ivan, and very soon. Except in point
Of age, II Is enc Of those ideal mar
riages that We 90 seldom Sc, and in re-
gard TO age, one cannot say more than
he did in speaking Of il 10 me q few
days since. After discussing the en-
gagensnt, Senator Jones remarked:
The only drawback Is the difference
in our ages, and u she Is gracious
enough to overlook the difference II does
not become any one else to make OBJ
jsctions on that score" The bride elect
Is not q beauty. strictly speaking. but is
more than ordinarily pretty. Miss Sulli-
van il OF medium size, with fine, stylish
figure and very elegant and refined man
ner. She has . lovely. thoughtful face.
crowned with wavy masses OF bright
blonde hair. OF that rare, beautiful tint
which looks Is II il had held in durancs
tho brightest rays Of q Summer sun.
She Is . woman with great force OF char
acter and mind disciplined and highly
cultivated. Inhsriting q fortune from
her grandfather. and being the only
child Of agentleman OF large wealth, she
is above and beyond the suspicion OF
mcrcenary motives. which, under other
| circumstances, might attach TO q mar
rage with 80 wealthy o man N Senator
Jones. No one who sessthsm together
can doubt that her whole soul II
wrapped up in him. With the ksenest
intellect and the kindest heart in these
Pacific States, he is q man for woman's
love. and he has won q worthy share OF
it. In this era Of love matches, we feel
proud to add one from this far-ef land
Of the West. May all coed fortunes fol-
low them"

Tnosr C~HuscHILL CoLoSisrs. The
Slper Stale started the lie. and the little
Pod copied it. that the f~orty-ssven dis
franchised Republicans Of Churchill
county were eolonists, and that they fed
the State Immediately after voting or at
tempting to vote in that county. These
veracious journals also enlarged some
what upon the diligence and bravery Of
Churchill county officers in pursuing
the fleeing coloaists. II now turns
out that the Deputy Sheriff Of
the much c~olonizea county must have
captured all the furgitivss in Winnie
mueca. At least he has been there for
about two weeks looking for them. Per
hsps, however. John Barleycorn had
somsthi,g to do both with the origin Of
the lie and the actions Of tho Churchill
county officials. Read this from the
winnemucca Register Of yesterday:
"Absut two weeks ago the Slrer STATE
chronicled the arrival in winnsmucca Of
the Deputy Sheriff Of Churchill county.
whose special mission. according to the
State. was TO capture sharon colonizers.'
Well. all We know about the matter Ia.
that same Deputy Sheriff is still in VIM
nsmucca. and hasn't been sober enough
TO see q hole in . ladder ut no time since
his arrival.

TEE number OF landowners in Eng
land is growing clearly less every day.
Little less than two centuries ago II was
about 200 1000. In 1851 the Census
Commissioners OF England reported the
astounding fact that at that time the
number Of land owners was 30. 3i5 per-
sons. This was in the spring OF 1851.
OF these landowner, IL .oi7 were males
and i3.26s females. Two years later
the number Of landowners had decreased
TO l4.l9i. and the number Of lady land
holders TO s.733-22. 92i in all. The in
come Of the English landowners from
their lands has increased enormously.
The number OF landowners il is thought
10 now smaller than at any previous
period.

HAS But ONE FOE.

Al o. readers were recently informed
BY the telegraph. the Chicago
Tribune which has for several years been
in opposition to the Republican party.
and which Termed one Of the great
"ousdrilatsral" which supported Horace
Greeley against Grant in 1872. has pass
Cd into the hands Of its former editor.
Hon. Joseph Msdill. and will hereafter
support the Republican party. The
Chicago Tribune is one Of the most in
~tiuentiai and valuable newspapers in
America. In its issue OF Tuesday. the
9th inst. ii gave uttsrancs to some
thoughts on national politics. In q long
article on the Political Outlook the
editor says the recent Republican defeats
will prove . blessing in disguise, by
purifying the party for the struggle in
1876. He says the vote pollsd by the
opposition was smaller than the vote
cast for Mr.. Greeley in 1872. which. he
argues shows that the country has not
been converted to Democracy. The
causes Of the falling of Of the Rspub-
lican vote he attributes to the presence
in the party Of many offensive issues
and persona. which dead weights and
dead beats, have been shaken OF by the
election. There were also several mat
tsrs Of questionable propristy. "Ths
Credit Mobilier affair. and a number Of
other matters, though grossly sIagger-
ated and by no lean confined to enc
party. and the back.pay or salary grab
bill furnished the opposition with ma
tsrial upon which to found accusations
against individuals, and by implication
against tho party; and many eonscien-
tious Republicans in all the States. by
emitting to vote. took that means Of
having the party purified BY allowing
the participants in these transactions 10
b dropped out Of political life" Other
causes were the hard times and
various local issues which have all
worked together to give the opposition a
seeming triumph. In concluding. the
editor says:
1.-THE Republican party is really con-
fronted by but n foe. and that is the
Democratic party. with which IL fought
during the war. with which II struggled
during Andrew Johnson's reign. and
which II defeated under Seymour in
1868, and Grsslsy in 1872. With that
party the majority Of the people have no
more sympathy in 1874 than they had in
1872. or 1868. or 1864. or at any other
period since the firing on Sumter.
The great popular heart is as true to the
Union. as incorruptible, and as devoted
to the principles OF the Republican party
