10 consciousness. She had to DO hand

down to Paso Robes Springs in South.
ern California recently, no paid a visit
TO the old Mission Of San Miguel. He
was permitted to take a look at the int.

Or sun-dried bricks. with a tiled roof.
There among the old books and records
he found two bibles. bearing the respec-
two dates Of 1859 and l735-both very
considerably over 100 years old. He
also ascertained from the records that
tho church itself was finished on tho

ILL., NANH AND CONDITION. James
Leo is tho namo Of the man who was
hurt by n blast in the Consolidated Vir.
ginia. as stated in last evenings Nrws.

ing moro serious injuries. His face aud
breast aro covered with wounds caused
by very minute PARTICLES OF rock. n
his eyes wero closed to-day from the
swelling Of his face; but his injuries are
not Of a serious nature. Had the hole
been charged with black powder. which
elplodes upward. instead Of with giant,
the chances arc that no would have been
blown to atoms.
