REsULTe OF PRosPERITY.-Ther
is an old adage which, quoted, says
"Toot your own horn if you don
sell a fish, The TINES will hardl,
be accused of adopting the motto al
its own, or, in other. words, .canno
be charged with INDUCING in any
great amount of self-adulatien
We do not claim in every issue t.
have the ''largest circulation of any
paper in the State" or that sit is
the best advertising medium in the
West" To US these assumptions
of journalistic superiority appear
extremely silly. even if warranted
by the facts, and great deal more
so when not so warranted. Since
the first issue of the TIMES, we have
endeayored to make it an acceptable
Newspaper, as we'll as worthy me-
dunn through which business men
could reach the attention of the pub
lie. To what degree we havethus far
succeeded, we leave a generous
community to Judge, at the same
time acknowledging the liberal
support and generous appreciation
Of our people, both in kind words
and that more than equal testimony
of dollars and dimes which has
been our main stay in the enter
prise of publishing a paper in Lyon
county. When We say that the
support received has been fully up
to our expectations, we only make
a candid and honest admission of
the facts. Since the establishment
of the TINES, We have been able,
through the support received, to
add largely to the at first scanty
material of the office, both in
presses and material, until we now
have most complete and valuable
job and newspaper Office. Our ia
cilities for the execution of all kinds
of ordinary, plain and ornamental
printing are not surpassed in this
part of the State, and it gratifes us
to be able to state that The TIMES
is receiving good share of this
class of work. By late arrivals
from the type founderies of Chi
cago and San Francisco and the
stationers of those cities, We now
have the latest and handsomest
styles of job type, paper, cards, bill
heads, letter-heads, marking tags,
envelopes, visiting cards, legal
blanks, display cards, and every
thing in this line that can be wanted
by the public. There is no one
connected or employed in any de-
partment of the paper but is thor
ough printer, which enables us to
do the very best class of work, and
at prices which cannot but satisfy
any one who is willing "to live
and let live" We respectfully So
licit the inspection of our material
and prices. THE TIMES as an adj
vertising medium, is a valuable
means of communicating with con-
sumers. It's circulation is large
and constantly increasing, and
there are but few houses in Lyon
and Storey counties at which a
copy is not left. We intend i'm
proving the paper in every. way,
and promise both subscribers and
advertisers that it shall constantly
grow in size and worth. Did we
desire we could publish column
after column of very fiattering no.
tices extended by our cotempora-
ries, but we do not feel at liberty
to trespass upon our limited space
by the publication of compliments.
We simply solicit continuance of
your patronage, and promise in re-
turnito give you value received.

How Joe Lost His Bet.

AN old fellow named Joe Poole, very &c
centric and an incorrigible sufferer, was q
constant hanger-On at the tavern in Water.
ford, Me-
One day a traveller from distant part OF
the State arrived at the tavern, and was
met by an old acquaintance, a resident OF
the town. After some conversation on
different topics the traveller was addressed
as follows:
=" BY the way, Brown, lock out for old
Joe Poole tonight. You will know him
quick enough by his suffering. He will
be sure to come around and offer to bet
that you've not got a whole Shirt to your
back. If you take him up you win surely
lose by trick he's got. He invariably
offers to lay this wager, and always wins. "
Every WE'LL" said the traveller, 81 will
not let him get ahead of me. Much
obliged for the caution"
The evening arrived, and large crowd
was collected in the bar-room. Our friends
were there, and old Joe Poole was present
and in his element. cess
q tell you wh-what. You are nicely
dressed, but I'll bet you ten you haven't
got whole sh-shirt to your back"
"I'll take the bet," said the stranger.
I" Put the money in the landlords hands,
This being done, the traveller pulled of
his coat, and was about following suit
with his vest when old Joe cried out:
Hoho-hold on! You've lost. Ha-halt
your shirt is in fr-front and the other half
is on your ba- back"
There was roar of laughter, but the
newcomer did not mind it, but pulled off
his vest, too, and, quietly turning his back
to Joe, displayed to his astOnished gaze a
shirt neatly folded and placed underneath
his suspenders.
OF course the laugh was turned upon
Poole, who acknowledged that he had lost
the wager. Henever offered to bet again.

A Runaway Marriage and a Lively
Chase.

HIS name is Denny G. Warren. His
age is in the neighborhood of twenty-fo four,
and he is od-looking, muscular fellow.
Up to yesterday he was employed in the
large shoe mandatory of j. B. Kimball
& Co., and boarded at the Westboro Hotel.
The proprietor of this institution, Mr..
Rollin X. Sherman, had one daughter, a
good Hooking, well-educated girl of seven
teen. The parents of Miss Ada never
suspected, till within week, her intimacy
with the young shoemaker, SO slyly had
the lovers conducted things. At 80
yesterday noon he obtained leave of alb
sence and engaged a team at H. A. Plymp-
tons livery stable, ostensibly to 60 to Mil
ford. Driving round to the back piazza
of the hotel, which is located in the
square, he waited for the appearance of
his Juliet. The rain kept everybody in
doors, and the streets were, consequently,
deserted. Juliet slipped out through the
back door, jumped into the carriage, and
in another minute they were riding to-
ward Woonsocket, r. /. Romeo had ar
ranged everything beforehand, and had
sent his own and Juliet's trunks to his
sisters, in Hopkinton.
Juliet left note on her chamber table
telling her parents that it was no use to
cry over split milk, or something to that
effect, and this note was not discovered
until shortly after Mr.. Sherman's return,
thus giving the lovers several hours start.
Mr.. Sherman hurried over to Deputy
Sheriff Fairbanks Office, and securing his
assistance harnessed fast horse and went
post haste after the fugitives. Then fol-
loweda mad race through the mud and
fast-falling rain. The horse was urged to
his utmost speed, which was far too slow
to keep pace with the fathers ANXIOUS
mind. Night overlook pursuers and pur-
sued. By dint of inquiry the former
tracked the runaways to Milford, where
they learned that Romeo had changed
horses, and was again speeding onward to
Rhode Island. They procured fresh
teamP and after aweary ride of thirty five
miles entered the town of Woonsocket, to
find that the wary Romeo had eluded
them, and was racing back again to Mil
ford, Mass. In utter despair the pursuers
drove out of Woonsocket at midnight,
and took the road to Milford. Arriving
there they visited the stable and learned
that the indefatigable Romeo had re-
claimed his first horse and was posting it
TO Hopkinton. They changed their jaded
animal for fresh one and struck the road
to HopkintOn, where they arrived
shortly after three O'Clock this morning.
Riding up to Phipps' stable they inquired
for the runaways, and were told that they
had put up their horse and gone to the
house of Mr.. C. F. Wright. Frantically
driving up to the house they knocked at
the door and were confronted by MIR.
Wright, to whom they stated their GRAND.
Romeo and Juliet had retired, but Mr..
Wright would call them. Romeo came
down in answer to the summons and cool

in occurred the names of Denny G. War

exceedingly considerate, and, without a
word of remOnstrance, awakened his
young wife and returned to Westboro

A Story for Boys.

Nor long ago had occasion to call on
friend at eight O'Clock ON Monday morn
ing-truly most unreasonable hour, as
ali must admit. But no fashionable call,
at the most approved time of day, ever
gave me so much pleasure as this.
1t was during the coolest part ofthe past
extremely cold winter which depressed
the mercury to twenty degrees below zero.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

EASTERN SWITZERLAND is afflicted with
the locust plague, and nearly all the grain
has been destroyed.
AN order has been issued by the Paris
police forbidding any person to drive
four-in- hand or tandem in the streets OF
that city unless furnished with a certi6-
cate of capacity, to be issued by the police
after inquiry.
Mr.. Bass, the great English ale manu-
facturer, pays the Midland Railway Ell y
900 a year for freight, owns one success
full weekly newspaper called the Rail,oay
Serrice Gazette, and has just started an
other, the Commercial Iraueller. 1t is said
that there are over 10000 commercial
travellers always on the move in the
United Kingdom.
In London birds are the fashion for
decoration, both for table center pieces
and for the wall among pictures. Stuffed
birds, monkeys and other animals are
being used as stems to lamps, bear even
serving as a dumb waiter, perched on his
hind legs; and now and then a swan, its
wings set and it's graceful neck curved
naturally, will form the exterior of a
drawing room seat a satin-covered stool
being introduced between the wings and
behind the neck.
JOHN W. FoRNEY, writing from London,
spent upon what are known as pet dogs
could be faithfully set forth. As you
walk the streets of London you see hun
dreds of thousands of these little animals
carried or led by ladies, and it is a COM
mon thing, as the nobility and gentry ride
along in their splendid equipages. to see a
variety of spaniels and poOdles resting on
the costly cushions. Some of these little
pets are not much larger than a cotton or
SNOWFALL, and with fine, fleecy covering,
nothing else visible save their black,
piercing eyes, they present laughable
appearance.
A YOUNG French nobleman, the Wis
count de B., whose father is distin-
guished General, has recently been en-
barrassed by the loss of the paternal favor
and the consequent cutting off of supplies.
In order to bring the old gentleman to
terms he has hit upon the following plan ::
He has had life-siZe image made which
strikingly resembles himself This image
is dressed exactly like the Viscount, and
is seated in the rumble of his phaetOn to
personate a footman. The Viscount has
dyed his hair, put on a false beard, and
donned clothing of an absurdly antiquated
cut. He takes the most fashionable drive
every afternoon, and is rejoiced to hear
his friends, mistaking him for a country
man and the image for himself, exclaim :
" The Viscount de b. has become a groom
and entered the service of countryman."
He thinks the General will rclent when
he learns the sad condition of his son.

In view of the late cheated term" the
following account of q popular sermon
once delivered by DIR. Wyatt, and related
by himself, is specially dedicated to those
ministers that are apt to spin out their
sermons indefinitely: 1T was summer
Sabbath morning. The mercury was high
up among the nineties. My house was
close of the Introductory service, which
was unusually brief, said to the suffer
ing assembly: Dear brethren, l do not
believe the Lord is pleased with our at
tempt to obey one law of His ordaining
by the Violation of another. 1t seems to
me that the law written upon the feshy
tablets Is as binding as that which was
engraved upon the tablets of stone. Twill

they found she'd come, what her husband's

his head, what the dickens that might be.
