WANTS TO BE COUNTED IN.-We
have received a note from q coal-burner
living at Pine Station who takes excep4
tons to an item appearing in Tile SEN
TlNEL few days since, which stated
that "Lamoureux's teams of eighteen
animals and four wagons had the day
previous hauled the largest load OF

MYSTERIOUS CLocK.-P. Steler, the
well-known jeweler, has q curious
clock in his show window. It is called
the ~"mysterious clock,v and the mys-
terry about it il, what makes it run.
II consists of a heavy, round glass
face, like the face of an ordinary
clock, and has ali hour and minute
hand, and to an outsider it Is impossi-
BILE to tell where the works are con-
cealed.
FINE WEATHER. - The present is
rather remarkable weather for this
time of the year. While the sun is
shining it is more like early fall than
December with Christmas In two
weeks and dust flying in the streets.
At night, though, Old Winter gives US
a gentle reminder that he has not for
gotten us, and a good fire Is needed
for comfort.
TWELFTH VoLUME.-The Eureka
SENTINEL entered upon its sixth year
and twelfth volume last Saturday. The
SENTINEL is a live paper, and looks
we'll to the local interests OF that COM
munity. 1t Is one of the leading news
papers of the State, and the patronage
it receives is the best evidence that the
people Of Eureka appreciate its useful
ness.- White Pine NeWs.

lars, drawn on Wells, Fargo II Co.,
San Francisco, by John Potter, Super

STILL PREvAILING.-A number OF
children are still sick, though no seri-
Gus cases were reported yester day. 1t
seems as though the epidemic pre-

cipally caused by the contracting of
heavy colds.
Mrs. KING, said John Henry to bis

me a Christmas present this year,
please arrange it so that the bill won't
come in till the next month. It's just
