As the California mill is no longer
crushing Consolidated ore, the daily
yield of the latter mine has been reduced
to $50 tons. Even at this rate the yield
for the present month will probably be
over $4,000, 900. The California is the
only mill working on California ore, and
no other mill will be added for some
time to come.

Washington, April l2.-The story &c
credited to the Indianapolis Sentinel of
yesterday has been in circulation for
some time past in private political cir
Giles. Blaine was made acquainted with
it and promptly denied it, stating that it
was entirely sensational and unfounded.
The story, as repeated in Washington
circles. was that draft was paid for
Blaine's benefit by Morton, Bliss 1. Co.
and afterwards taken by Z. III. Rollins,
Treasurer of the Union Pacific railroad.
In taking measures recently to correct it
Blaine has received the following letters:
New York. April III. G. Blaine,
Washington-Dear Sir: In answer TO
your inquiry we beg to say no draft,
note, check or other evidence of value
ever passed through our books il which
you are known or supposed to have had
any interest of any kind. direct or in
direct. Very Respectfully,
(Signed) I'D. MORTON, BLISS ( Co."

Sheffield

The weeks roll round freighted with the usual events which mark the life in coun- try village. Your correspondents have been very unfaithful for some time past, and no notice has been made of some events of interest which have occurred here, and now the news will be stale if attempt to chron- icle the past. However it should be noted that there was wedding at the hotel re- gently, when Asa Little and Libbie Miller were made one. That Asa has done well, all are agreed, and we congratulate them both upon the happy future prophe- sled, as they have taken time to consider the importance of the step and have illus trated the meaning of the old proyerb :- Look we'll before you leap, and this being leap year what is the use of looking long CT? Who next ?......The new minister has arrived and is settled at the new parsonage. He has been interviewed and made the sub ject of tea table gossip as usual, and many express their satisfaction concerning our choice, while the more wary quote, "A new broom sweeps clean, and save their verdict, awaiting further developments. We sim cerely pity the minister who comes stran- ger into Q community like this, but hope the people in time Chow long? may learn how to treat minister respectfully at least.
 Key. Hoyt leaves many good friends here however, and we are glad to learn that he is pleasantly located in Hudson, where he went by request of the church there.

During these hard times 'tis not every young man who possesses the happy faculty of turning his hand to every trade; but those who have hoped to secure his services during the house cleaning season, have had their hopes dashed to the ground by the intelli gence that he only whitens the walls for particular friends.
