EDITOR SILVER STATE: A few items
from this valley may be interesting to
your readers. Farmers have finished
seeding, and the most of the grain is
up and looks v ell. They are sparing
neither time nor labor in getting water
on their lands, as snow is very scarce
on the mountains, and it is feared that
water will fail too soon for good crop
to be raised this season.

against the trustees to present their
bills and get their money. The cred

much like the depositor who, during
run on bank, presented his certificate

him short by saying, if You have the

the Board has the money to pay all de-

no one presents bill. but if there were
no funds in the treasury everybody
would want what il due them. As

necessary to erase any writing with
knife or other instrument, a rongh snr-
face is made on which the ink will
spread. To avoid this. if you will take
piece of any common letter or legal

caused by the erasure, the glaze will be
transferred from the paper to the
rough surface. and You can write on it
MS well as on any other portion. This
is a simple process, always convenient

The Scientific Lectures delivered in the
Court House last Thursday and Friday
evenings by Professor Favour, on the sub
jects of Heat, Light and Electricity, were
quite well attended and were very inter-
csting and instructive The professor is
well posted in the matters he talks about
and carries with him sufficient apparatus
to illustrate the various theories set up, 50
the most ordinary person can understand
them The first lecture on Heat and
Light was, we think, the better of the
two, though both them gave the most per-
feet satisfaction to all present. We would
like very much to give our readers a
synopsis oil these lectures, and intended
to, but we found it would be impossible
to do them justice. Mr.. Favour has an
easy way of speaking, and being thorough
ly conversant with the subjects under
discussion never fails to interest his audi
ence. We understand it is his intention
to procure large amount Of new appar-
tus the coming summer, and he will then
change his lectures somewhat, giving one
on Light, one on Heat, one on Electricity,
and-one on Pncumatics He will make
the course even more interesting then the
present one. Had it not been that Toledo
has been so oycrrun With entertainments
this winter we have no doubt but the
Court House would have been crowded
both nights last week, rs it was, the at
tcntion was very good Two-thirds of
the receipts after paying expenses went
to the NJ. Il. Sunday School to be applied
in the purchase of new Library.

II there is onr man in America more de-
serving Of public patronage and the good
will Of all ankind, we believe that man is
James Wick, Of Rochester, New York, the
we'll known Florist. He is publishing a
quarterly journal which he calls "vick's
Floral Guide" which is worth many times
its cost, and he evidently cannot make
anything by it, but he seems determined
to do all he can to create love for the
beautiful This Guide will be sent to any
address for 25c per year. Not content
with doing this, however, he makes .
most liberal offer of aid to the grasshop-
per sufferers Of the West. We copy the
following from the January number Of
his Guide:
Thousands Of good, industrious PEG
pie, with the laudable desire to make
homes for themselves and families, have
taken up land in the West. Removal, the
purchase of implements and little sock,
and the expense of living until crop ID
secured, usually cxhausts the resources
Of these persons They expect to endure
prlvations for q time, but with ordinary
success, few years of trial and endur-
ance usually place them in comfortable
circumstances Unfortunately the past
two years swarms Of grasshoppers have
swept away at once the crops and hopes
of these deserving people, while we have
bread enough to spare
I'VE look at the pile Of letters before

stories, from strong men, enduring women
and suffering children, and would like to
feed them all, but what can one do for SO
many? Last year we supplied all who ap-
piled for seeds for half price, or no price.
No one, we think, was denied. This year
the need is more serious.
Food is wanted to feed the hungry
families until crops can be grown. So. we
thought perhaps some OF our customers
would like to help little, il they knew an
easy way to forward funds. We therefore
propose to receirs from our custOnaers, o.

Room. Their pieces were "Lost and

say that they performed their parts we'll
is but to re-echo the general opinion Of
al present. They play again this evening
when they will produce the same drama
of last night, and will close the entertain
ment with the sidc-splitting farce entitled
"A Bilious Attack" We understand
they have made arrangements to have
small boys stationed In different parts Of
the house to gather up the vest
and coat buttons as they fly of,
and restore them to the owners. Our
advice, however, to our readers would be
to have oil their buttons well scwed on
before going to see this farce. As the
Nonpareils are company Of homo talent,
We think they are far more worthy Of tho
patronage Of our people than those stroll

A subscription was taken up, and the COM
mittees which were appointed at a pre-
yious meeting requested to commence
operations and canvass the town through
ly. Volunteers were called for to 60 to the
country to hold meetings, or send teams.
Several volunteered TO go and number
Of persons who had teams offered the use
of them. Weexpect when this movement
gets fairly started that lama County will
do her share in helping to provide for the
needy and suffering ones.
