SICKNESS AMONG CHILDREN.-pWe
heard late last night that frankie, the
little son Of J. G. Brown, was very low
and not expected to survive the night.
Several months ago the little fellow
swallowed a quantity of concentrated

bic to retain scarcely any n%ourishing
food OH his stomach, and has been
gradually wasting away.
Johnny. DR.. Recess little boy, is
seriously i'll with pneumonia. His i'll.
ness was considered dangerous until
yesterday, when tho disease took a ia.
vorabls turn and he is thought to have
passed the perilous crisis.
The babe of Mr.. and Mrs. w. II.
Davenport is also seriously i'll, but we
did not learn the nature of its disease.
a GENIUs.-Parker, the pen, green
back and gold note man, held forth to
a large congregation at the corner of
Main and Clark streets yesterday after
songs, accompanying himself on a
banjo, and when he has sang his audi.
ence into a good humor he proceeds to

holds his crowd better than a majority
of stump speakers. He gives away a
large number Of greenbacks and gold
notes, depending upon the sale OF his
pens for his profits, and the chances
are, notwithstanding his liberal dona-
tons of shinplasters, that he will never
get broke by the outside players at his
game.
~-u. Nj I.N 49,. Ill.,
Episcopal and Presbyterian Sunday
Schools are ~canvassing the town for
subscriptions for their respective
Christmas trees. In our opinion 1t
would have been better for all of the
schools to have combined, but As it is
not the case, we Recommend that
those who can afford to give anything.
divide their donations between the
two. 1t is eminently proper that the
hearts of the little ones should be
made glad on the anniversary of the
birth of Him who said "Sutfer little
children to come unto me, for of such
is the Kingdom of Heaven"
CURIOUS DIsCovERY.-Last Tuesday
the fossil bones of two animals, evil
IDENTIFY of the rodent species and about
the size of the largest kind of squirrels,
were discovered in the Richmond
!. mine at the depth of 200 feet from the
surface and imbedaed in the center of
a solid body of ore. How and when
they got there is II question for Sclen-
lists to solve. The bones are in a good
state Of preservation and any one de
sirous of examining them can do so by
calling at the office Of MIR. Potts, the
foreman of the mine.
FoUR-MILE RACE.--A four mile and
repeat race will come off at Bay Dis
trict Park, in San Francisco, next Sat

SIC, 900. The animals entered for the
race are all mares, viz: Matte A.. Jo-
sic c., Mollie Mccarthy, Ballinette.
Lola Lodi, Emma Skaggs and Gentle
Annie. Jot Travis owns and enters
Lola Lodi. The contest is exciting
considerable interest among sporting
men on the coast. Pools on the race
will be sold at the Palace Saloon, in
this town.
NEW SIDEwALK.-Colonel Tom. lay
lor is doing a pious act in laying a new
sidewalk in front of his bnilding IN
Main street, formerly occupied by &c.
Lockwood as a tin shop, but which
has been leased by Tommy Douglas
for a saloon. The Colonel's example
could be initiated with propriety by a
number of property owners on both
sides of Main street.
GRAND JURY.-The Grand Jury held
no,regular session yesterday, although
the committees on the accounts, etc., OF
county offices and county buildings
were busy pursuing their inveStlSa-
tons. They will probably report to-
day, and doubtless the final report OF
the jury will be submitted to the Court
about Saturday.

) Mary Irwin. charging her with the
t murder of Kate Miller in this town a
few months ago, the circumstances OF
