LETTER FROM PIONEER,

AONEEH CITY, Feb. "a 1877
Id. NoRLD:-The faces of our citi.
zens are elongated until they resem-
ole interrogation marks, and all ask
ing What do you think of the season?u
anu mat other all-important question,
WHO'S President?0 Still we are
merry.
Whitney, Wilson & Co. are push

ing prospects ahead.
Mikelson & Wyndiate are also still
at work, tunneling from the Payette
side OF the mountain and deserve sue.
cess, which they are hopeful of OBJ
tanning. Three miners are on the
summit at the head Of Muddy, and
are about all that are being operated
this winter.
There will probably be large emf.
grafton from this place before long,
as there is church bell in town, and
whenever one of "them things" come
into mining camp tits high time to
migrate to fresher fields and pastures
new. The China gong was bad
enough, but this thing-whew! Come,
boys, let us go somewhere there's
more gold, for evidently this is the age
of brass for this camp.
The Payette river will attract many
miners the coming summer. The lack
Of water in the Basin will drive them
to prospecting, and as that river is
known to possess very rich deposits
of gold, and acres of ordinary mining
ground, there can be no doubt but
that thrifty mining population will
dwell along its banks before many
years pass away.
Col. Stevenson will start his saw
mill to running in few days. The
old man seems to have made some en-
emies by his effort to quash illegal
voting, but let US hope that honest
people will praise him while the
dishonest condemn, for they know that
his lance was aimed at a fostering
corruption wherefrom they suck their
suStenance, and they would curse him
because he would make them earn
their bread and butter honestly. An
honest man has nothing to fear from
wholesome laws, but the gilded hand
of of1ense cannotbear the light of day,
or the test of the touchstone truth
aud that is why the craven pack how
at the heels Of the noble legislator
who would purge his country of his
country's faults. \.

DIR. BLoDaETT, of Boston, communi-
Gates the following information for the
benefit Of theatre goers and others who
may be caught in burning buildings,
and in danger Of being smothered by in
haling smoke s'It is the same process
by which the man fish who performs
under water at the theatres, and by
which the pearl divers off the coast of
Ceylon are enabled to remain under wa
ter four minutes without disturbing the
function Of respiration, that is, by hold
ing the breath. This may be done by
making four Or five full, deep inspira-
tons and ezpirations of air from the
lungs. then, taking one full, long, deep
inspiration and hold the breath, aided
by grasping the nose with the fingers,
one may be able to pass down three or
four flights OF stairs through o dense
smoke harmless, whereas ordinarily he
would drop unconscious the second OF
third inspiration. Again, when practic-
able, one should creep or crawl with the
head as near the floor as possible, as the
nitrogen of fresh air being o more dense
gas than the product of combustion, the
latter naturally rises. These hints, if
observed, especially by fremen and po-
lice, may result in saving life in times OF
great danger"

but small chance of saving the hand. 1t

REMARKABLE PROPHECY.
From the Boston Advertiser.


| I have in my possession and h,therse
unpublished letter from John Adams
to Mrs. Mercy Warren, of Plymouth, OF
date July 40, 1907, containing thefol
lowing remarkable, and, in the light OF
passing events, prophetic statement
Its value is SO great as q contemporary
construction of that part of the oonsti
tuition by one who had no reason to be
biased in his judgement concerning it,
that send it to you for publication. Ii
| is in these words: ''The f1rst appear
ance of national stipulation favour OF
republican government was in the con-
stitution of the United States, in which
republican constitution was guaran-
teed to the several States. 1t may, per-
haps, be sufficient recommendation OF
this article to say that it was introduced
by Mr.. Charles Pinkney of South Car
olina, and he ought TO have the glory OF
it. But l confess that I never under
stood it, and I believed no other man
ever did or ever will. A republican
government e government more than

every actual and every possible govern
ment among men, that of Constantine
pie as well as that of Geneva. Bnt the

publicks from despotisms and simple
monarchies, and call every government

as truly as Saint Marine. Venice, Hol-
land and other State. were universally
called republicks, both by the learned
and unlearned; yet the people in these
States had certainly no more liberty

most accurate distinction then has been

BURIED IREAgURE.- weeks ago
LeTi Harbour, Of Berlin, this county,
died. He was very old man, and as he
had lived frugally, it was thought by his
friends and neighbors that he had accu-
mulated money of which he made no
mention, and of which his family had no
knowledge. Shortly after the burial,
search was begun for the treasure,
which it Tss considered almost certain
he had left. For days the search proved
fruitless, but at last smoke-house floor
was raised, and men set about digging
into the earth beneath it. Finally, two
large stone jarswere struck They were
raised from their resting place and e1-
amined, when they were found to be
filed with silver coin, some OF it 4 CEN
fury old, and of unique, novel and Gu
rious workman ship" There was, it is
averred, "about half bushel of it, !"
confined in buckskin sacks, which fell
- pieces on being handled. The coin
WAS brought to the city, and counted in

gregate 2,026. 1t is now thought there
that there is a''plant'' of gold some
where about the premises, and search
for it is being vigorous prosecuted.
