About twenty-five rations were issued to the

Yesterday the bids for the county print

Commissioners come to that part of the
business there was only one bid. The pro-
prietors Of the different papers in the coun-
ty-the Independent, New Era, and Sickle
and Sheat, had consultation m the morn
ing, and agreed to put in one bid at legal
rates, and then divide the printing equally
among the three papers, which was done. So
Jefferson county has now three county Off

The proposals for medical attendance on

The Advantages and Disadvan.
tages of that Famous
Region.
Another Returned Adventurer
Tells q Captivating Yarn.

A man nam named Davis, who accompa-
MED the Dodge expedition into the Black
Hills, has returned to civilization, AID tells
a captivating story of the riches Of that
region.
At the stockade erected last winter by the
miners whom Captain Mix drove out, the
soldiers went into camp. Here, he says,
they found a small party OF miners, in
groups of from two to ten each, who said
they had been there about thirty
five days. These men were actu-
ally suffering for food, having
had nothing to eat for fifteen days, except
venison. They were unwilling to leave,
however, and said if they were driven out
by the military, they would return, as they
considered the diggings rich enough to pay
them for almost any amount of hardships
or exposure. These miners all had gold,
which had been obtained wholly from sur
face dirt on Castle Creek and its afiiuents.
They had commenced ditching and fun
ing in small way, and were very hopeful
of grand returns. They had also turued
their attention to vegetable raising, and
had garden planted and growing finely.
The news of the success these men had
met with spread through the camp, and soon
the officers, soldiers, and teansters were at
work washing out surface dirt. The color
was obtained in every pan, showing that
the gold was generally distributed, the best
returns being made by Captain Spaulding,
of the Third cavalry, who obtained frac-
tion over twenty-eight cents from three
pans Of dirt. OF course the men were mex
perienced in washing, and consequently
wasted good deal; and, in addition to
this, great deal of the gold was 20 fine "a
to require quicksilver, with which the COM
mand was not provided. The miners
claimed, however, that by stripping and
sluicing, from twelve to fifty dollars day,
per hand, could be obtained. This esti-
mate, the gentleman says, might be consid-
cred extravagant, but, on the other hand,
he says that the country is so well supplied
with excellent pine timber, stone, and other
building material, and is so easy of access,
that the cost of living will be materially
reduced from that OF ordinary mining dis.
tricts, and hence greater profits can be real
lied by those working the mines, though the
gross amount Of the precious metal obtained
might be less. While returning TO Chey-
enne he met hundreds of miners, generally
travelling in small parties, and apparently
defying the military He thinks there are
now between 600 and 700 men in the yicin-
ity OF the hills. He saw no Indians going
or coming.

A lev weeks ago we referred to q lady
living in the southern part Of the city, hav-
ing seen flying snake in her perigin.tions
through that delightful portion of the me
tropolis. At the same time we published q
the statement of an aged woman, q sooth.
sayer, Who predicted that in short time
the air would be full of fying serpents.
Then we did not pay much attention to the
matter, believing that il was but an idle
fancy, or the production of an unsound
mind. But yesterday while chasing the ever
feeting item, We were met By kisnd who
inquired in IN excited manner, II ws had

We answered no, but told him If he would
give us the desired information, We would
"put it where it would do ths most good
namely, in the columns of THE fflR
After cooling of and adjusting our pencil
and notebook, We requested our friend to
proceed.
This he did, and from his statements We
learn that while two boys named Reming-
ton and jenkins, the former from this city,
and the latter a Platte Countian, we're hunt
ing in the woods, . serpent was seen
approaching them, about iour feet above
the earth. jenkins took of hn hat, and
throwing it over the snake succeeded in
capturing it. It is over one foos long, spot

ed in alcohol, and are thinking of selling

lola, KAs., July 10, 1875.

In response to your circular bearing date
of the Sth inst, viii say, briefly, that in
this county there is an unusual acreage of
corn growing, which is in first rate condi-
ton, the prospect for large crop never be-
ing better. Oats is mostly harvested, yield
ing well on the aversge-from 25 TO 80
bushels per acre hardly medium acre
age. There is an unusual acreage of fax
and castor beans, which will probably yield
heavy. Hungarian and millet are doing
tine. There is considerable acreage OF po-
iatoes, with the prospect oil q very large
yield. Prairie grass is excellent, never bet
ter. Where the erasshoppers devastated
the crops along the streams, that replanted
is doing very well and the prospects are
good. We have had some fine, seasonable
rains lately. People are in good spirits
and business has a healthy appearance.

The Old Shoe Salute.

\ writer says: every few, proba-
bly,, of the thousands who throw old
shoes after bridal parties as they are
leaving home know anything OF the
origin of the custom. Like almost all
of our common customs its origin is
ancient, and can b0 traced to bible
times. 1t was then the custom for
the brother of a childless man to mar
ry his widow-or, at least, he had the
refusal of her. If he chose to reject
her the ceremony was performed in
public, and consisted in her loOsing
his shoe from his foot and splitting in
his face. His giving up the shoe was
a symbol of his abandoning ALI do
minion over her, and her splitting in
his face was an assertion Of independ-
ence There was an affair Of this kind
between Ruth and Boaz. In some
parts of the East it was the custom to
carry slipper before a newly mar
ried couple, as token of the brides
subjection. The custom, as it exists
with us, is very old in England and
Scotland. The usual saying is that it
Is thrown for luck, and that is the
idea in this cOuntry; but originally it
meant renunciatiOn Of authority
over her by her parents. 1t was for
merly q custom among the Germans
for the bride, when she was conducted
to her bed-chamber, to take off the
shoe and throw it among the guests.
Whoever got it in the struggle to OBJ
tail-it received it as an omen that ell
ther he or she would soon be happily
married. Train, in his History of the
Isle of Man. says: 'On the BRIDE
groom leaving his house it was GUS
tomary to throw an old shoe, and in
like manner an old shoe after the
bride on leaving her home to proceed
to the church, in order to insure good
luck to each respectively, and If by
stratagem either of the BRIDES shoes
could be taken off by any Inspector on
her way from church it had to be ram
somed by the bridegroom In Kent,
England, after the couple have start
ed OH their tour the single ladies are
drawn up in one row and the bache-
lors in another. An old shoe is then
thrown as far as possible, and the la
dies run for it, the successful one be-
Ing supposed to be the first female who
will get married. She then throws
the shoe at the gentlemen, and the
one who is hit by it is deemed to be
the first male who will enter into
wedlock. Generally it is considered
the older the shoe the better"

There are two kinds of girls; one Is
the Kind that appears best abroad,
the girls that are good for parties,
rides, visits, balls etc., and whose
chief Delights in such things. The
other is the kind that appears best at
home, the girls that are useful and
cheerful in the dining room, the sick
room, and all the precincts of home;
one is frequently torment at home;
the other is a blessing. One is moth
consuming everything about her; the
other is sunbeam, inspiring life and
gladness all along the pathway. Now
it does not necessarily follow that
there shall be two classes of girls. The
right education would modify them
both u little and unite their charac-
ters In one.

tleman whose residence Is East of the

been on fire several tlmes-had finally
given up that the house must he lost
and had ceased further exertion. Sud-
denly lie was surprised to see noun
tain quail light at his feet. In u mo-
ment the bird flew up to his breast and
lit on his vest. The man unbuttoned
two buttons of his vest, when the bird
ran beneath it and nestled close over
his heart. He buttoned his coat over
the bird and then said to himself,
''That means that my house can be
saved" and went to work again. Just
then the uncertain wind changed, the
volume of flame and smoke was turned
another way, the house was saved, and
now, next to the children, the bird
is the highest priced treasure in that
house.
