The ALARM SUNDAY EvENING.-The
fire alarm about s O'Clock Sunday
evening was caused by the explosion
of a kerosene lamp in Sweeney's stable
on the corner OF Main and Bateman
streets. A portion of the roof caught
fire, but was quickly exit nguished by
water from a hand hose, which hap
pened fortunately to be attached to the
hydrant in the stable. The fire COM
panies turned out promptly, but their
services were moi called into requisi-

PACK TRAIN WANTED.-T. j. An
drews, of the Blue Jacket mine, in
Bull Run district, who advertises in
the SENTINEL for a pack train to pack
wood to the mill of the company, de-
sires us to state that he will pay three
dollars per cord for packing four.foot
wood a distance of not more than two
miles, and will give employment to a
train of fifty mules. This, we should
infer, is an excellent opportunity for
profitable employment for a pack train
of that size.

SNOHOMISH ITEMS.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
John Ross was in town last Sunday.
from whom we learn the following con
corning man by the name of Joseph
La Mox, who had been cooking for Mr..
L. ID. Smith, of Lowell. Mr.. La Mox
Ind previously been employed as cook
in the camp of j. 4 A. Ross. and when
discharged from the services of Mr..
Smith. he again came to Mr.. Ross, dead
broke of course, and upon again being
employed by Mr. r. he appeared very
much elated and said he would do his
duty like man. so long as his services
were required; but when Mr. J. Ross
returned tn camp At noon of the third
day he found his wife getting dinner
for the men, and she informed him that
the man La Mox, was last seen going
down the trail leading to Mr.. AZ
flick saloon at half pas, seven o'clock
that morning. Mr.. i. immediately
went down tot Atilck's place. but they
bad seen nothing of the man there.
The camp was also robbed Of some $50
and revolver: hut suspicion rests on
other parties than la Mox, he having
gone away, sans everything but pants
aud shirt, he having a good ha, and
plenty of clothes in the house. The
supposition is that something has be-
fallen the man, or perhaps. becoming
demented has pat out his own light. II
Is BOW some three weeks since the man
disappeared. and. although Mr. Ross
has made every inquiry, no clue to his
whereabouts can he obtained.

In the early days OF Mormonsm the
preachers Of that faith made pretensions
to miraclewor<ing, such rs healing the
sick and raising spirits. One of these
charlatans conceived the idea Of calling
down the Holy Ghost, rs that Spirit is
said to have appeared at the baptism by
John-in the form of dove There was
to be n sermon on Sunduy-t was in
warm June weather-in an old fashioned
wooden church, in the middle of the cell
ing of which was large hole for venti-
lation, covered with movable board
Taking an Irish farm hand into his con-
fdence, the preacher secured white pig
con, and hiding the man and the dove in
the attic, told Pat when he heard the
words " Holy Ghost /! appear ~ repeated
the third time, he was to silly drop the
dove through The aperture. Tle preach
er departed, the day was warm, and Pat,
having duly sampled pocket flask, fell
asleep. He woke during the service, and
instead Of his dove saw a meek, satisfied
looking tomcat licking his jaws, while
around the two were numberlcss feathers
and little spots of blood. Here was fix.
The preacher was boastng mis- power,
and soon came the cue, starting the cold
perspration from the poor Hibcrnian.-
For the third time in voice Of thunder,
came the alteration, when, in a fit OF des-
peration, Pat showed his red face down
the opening and bawled out Arrah
how the devil can the Holy Ghost appear,
when the cat has ate hm?" That ended
Mormon miracles in-county for all
time.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1876-07-29

No TINE FOR ANYTHING.-The great
difficulty in this country is that we have
no time for anything. The very walk of
an American shows that he is in hurry.
An Englishman buttons bis coat and
gloves, and goes to business as deliberately
as be goes to church. An American bus
mess man flies after the car, struggling
with his coat sleeves, as he runs, punges
in head foremost, and plunges out at the
end without regard to his neck. Chief
among our accidents stand those which
occur because people will jump upon fly
ing trains, or after departing boats. To
wait ten minutes is something not to be
thought of. Dinner is not eaten, it is
swallowed whole and when one comes
to the dessert he finds that the fruit was
picked before it was ripe.
Everything is hurried through, from
the building of Il house to the curing Of
hams. The women who work on sewing
machines stop before they come to the
end of the seam. The dress maker sends
home your dress with basting threads in
it, and no loops to hang it up by.
There is more Of the slow, sure com
pleteness ofthe old world about anything,
and even fortunes are made in hurry.
and lost in the same way. Ifany man
we know is getting rich by the slow and
patient process of saving, be sure that he
was not born upon this continent.
Yet people live AS long here as they do
anywhere else, and the days are the same
length. "Why is it we have no time for
anything ?"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1876-07-29

Nor EXACTLY THAT WAY.-There Is
Il beautiful incident in some of the new
Sunday School books. 1t opens with a
terrible storm ut sea, which greatly fright
ems the captains wife and all the sailors.
The captain himself was very cool, and
when his wife wondered ut it he took
down:a sword, Aourshed it in the mir ana
asked
"Are you not afraid %
She wasn't. She said she had faith
in her husbands love and friendship.
Neither am afraid Of the storm, for
/ have faith in the Lords love and pro-
tection."
A captain on the Erie Canal read the
little story the other day and it touched
his heart. He descended to the cabin,
where his wife was mixing biscuit, and
putting his fist under her nose he asked
Betsey, are you not afraid 2"
"Nawt much," she replied, giving him
n dangerous look.
"Why not ?" he yelled.
II would have been very proper for her
to have said something about Divine
Providence, but she didn't. She replied
" Because, if you don't git that paw out
of my face, III put up this dough and
break another rib for ye."

Weaverville, July 80, 1876.

READ AND PoNDER.-The Repubi-
can party has for the last eight years
steadily decreased the national debt, un-
til the bonds Of the country are above par
in Europe, and would have decreased it
still more were it not for the facetious
course of the Democratic members of the
Lower House. In the early part of the
session the Senate passed bill for re-
funding of a portion of the public debt at
AZ per cent. There are at the present
time 1854, ,999,650 of six per cents, and
S7l0,04l 800 of five per cents, whioh could
be called in if this bill had been agreed
to by the House. The saving that would
be effected on the former in annual inter
est by the substitution of AZ per cent.
bonds would be Sl4,774, 999 70, and in
the latter 81, $50, ,209 making a grand to-
tai of $lS,325, 295 10. In the general
distrust which has prevailed in Europe
for several months, the new bonds would
be much sought for. But the Democrats
Of the Lower House thought that it
would initiate against their political
prospects to have this saving made by
the Republican party. The Democrats
clam that they can save the country
some forty millions of dollars by cutting
down expenses to such low figure that
no honest man could afford to hold an
official position and yet when a saving
of SIS 1925, ,205 rs can be made, they re-
fuse to agree to it because the bill origi-
mated in Republican Senate. All we
ask of the voters of this Country is to look
at this matter in calm and impartial
manner. Ift they will, comment on our
part will be unnecessary.

FIRST AND LAST.

"But tell me dear" she said
And cOaxingly tho soft eyes shone,
And shyly dropped tho modest head
Beside his own
But tell me, have you loved before?
Or. one, or more 2"
The cager, sparkling face
Was full of tondeI, trusting grace;
She did not fear his answer then,
Her king ofmen
But tell me, dear, the best and worst,
Or, am | first ?"
He turned his owes away;
Yet closer still her hand he press'd,
Nor answered yea nor nay;
A blush confessed
All, in one burning word,
Unsaid, unheard
Quick came burst of tears
A tempest from an April sky
And then Forgive my doubt and tears,
lie heard her sigh,
Why should care what loves are past,
So mine be last ~
