slaughter house. for the purpose of
shipping dressed meats to the eastern
and western markets, description of
the Que recently erected ct this place
may be interesting 10 your numerous
readers.
THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE
Is situated about one mile east of Reno,
near the C. P. Il. r., and will cost
about $40. 900 when completed. A side
track from the railroad is being con-
structed, and will lead directly TO and
inside the building. The killing of the
beeves. dressing, and shipping will all
be done under the same roof. The
slaughter house 10 SO constructed that
the temperature C-a be reduced to Q
freezing poiut at ali seasons If SO
desired. The company will commence
operations about the goth of this
month. and the enterprise will open
ap u good market for cattle in this
vicinity. The advantages to be derived
from this method OF shipping beef are
many. Il is we'll known fact. that
cattle shipped alive in cars arrive at
their destination in bruised and fever
ish condition. The saving of freight 10
quite all item, as double the quantity
can be shipped dressed as alive. Your
people will find that similar enter.
prise in Winuemocca will be a great
benefit to the stock men of Humboldt.
BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
Since the fair. business has been some
what dull Ia town; but during the past
week it has improved 10 u considerable
extent. Reno has q good farmiDg
country to back it up, the farmers find-
Ing good market for their crops,
which adds greatly to the prosperity of
! the place.
As the time draws, near for the next
political campaign. the all absorbing
| question, who is to be Governor" is
being agitated. Governor Bradley has
nssuy friends in this part of the State;
bat it is stated. upon good authority,
that the old gentleman will not DO q
candidate for 70 election and does not
want third term.
J. @. Currie is mentioned by many of
the Storey county Democrats for this
position, Mr.. Currie would make an
excellent Governor.
The favorits in the western. portion
| of the State ut present seems to be j.
G. Hagermsn of this place. who was a
! candidate fos Presidential Eleosor ut the
| last election on the Democratic ticket.
MIR. Hagesnsu has many friends in
both parties. who would like to see
him successful in the Gabernatorial
race. -
q. @. Biles. of your county. is coming
into prominence as candidate for Sec.
rotary of State.
tits generally conceded by many in
telligent Republicans that the State will
60 Democratic at the next election, as
the policy of President Hayes has
caused quite dissffection among the
Radicals.

An Irishman's Will.

In the name of God, amen! l.,
Timothy Doolan, of Barrydownderry,
in the County of Clare, farmer, being
sick, wake on my legs, but of sound
head aud warm heart-Glory be to
God!-do make this my first and last
will and old ould and new testament.
First, 1 give my sowl to God, when it
plaze him to take it-shure no thanks
to me, for l cant't help it then-and my
body to be buried in the ground at
Barrydownderry Chapel, where all my
kith and kin that have gone before me
and those who live after, pace to their
ashes, and may the sod rest lightly
over their bones. Barry me near god
father and my mother, who lie sepa-
rated all together at the other end of
the chapel yard. [ lave the bit of ground
containing eight acres-rale old Irish
acres-to my eldest son Tim, after the
death of his mother, if she lives to sur
vive him. My daughter Mary and her
husband, Paddy O'Reagel, are to have
the black SOW that's going to have
twelve black bonifs. Teddy, my second
boy, that was killed in the war in
Aheriky, might have got his pick of
poultry, but as he has gone I'll lave
them to his wife, who died week be-
fore him; l bequeath to all mankind

grounds is placed at Sl,OOO,OOO, and
the annual expectation to market is
estimated at 5, 100000 bushels.
Newark Bay has also natural bot
tom for oysters, and the grounds like
those at Perth Amboy originally pro-
duced bivalves of natural growth. 1t
is public ground, and is used for seed
oysters, as well as growing for the mar
kets. Many dealers, however, own beds
in the bay, and the profit of raising in
this quarter has enriched hundreds.
In the past six years a lucrative trade
has sprung up between this planting
ground and California, and the trade is
steadily increasing. Thousands OF
bushels of fine seed oysters were ship
ped to San Francisco in 1875, and pre-
parations are being made to send large
quantities this year. They are used to
stock beds in the harbor of that city.
Seed oysters, as well as bivalves of full
growth have also been sent to Aus
tralia.
The recent experiment of exporting
oysters to England has proved so sue
cessful that both the Newark Bay and
Perth Amboy oystermen expect to
realize great profit from it in the future
when the trade shall have become more
fully developed. More than three
fifths of the oysters sent to England in
the past two years were grown in the
beds of Newark Bay and Perth Amboy,
and it is from these great sources OF
Of supply that the exporters will have
to depend in the future as
they have in the past. Last week
between four and five hundred bar;
rels of oysters were shipped from the
latter point to this city for tranship
ment to Liverpool, and it is estimated
that ten thousand barrels of small "cul
lersn have been sent to the same port
in the last twelve months. The agent
in charge takes none but the smallest
oysters for the English market, as he
says the English are so accustomed tc
their small copperish favored bivalve
that they abhor our large Saddle Rocks,
Princess Bays, or Morris Rivers.

Mrs. POppletOn and q Chinese
Prescription.

A Chinese physician says that in a
case Of nightmare, instead of rudely
awaking the sleeper by bringing in a
light, you should "bite his toe." This
is very simple remedy-at least Mrs.
Poppleton thought so, for she treasured
the recipe up in one OF the chambers Of
her memory, and the other night when
Poppleton was seized with two-horse
power nightmare, seventeen hands
high, and in muflied and ghostly voice
muttered, "Ohowhwoh! Ughughughu-
hui" as if circus elephant was per-
forming tricks on his stomach, she
quickly slid to the foot of the bed, and
was in the act Of seizing his big toe in
her teeth, when the dreamer gave a
vigorous kick and Mrs, Poppleton was
shot over the tail-board of the bed on
to the floor, and four teeth half way
down her throat. The noise awak-
ened Poppleton, and hearing his wife
screaming at the rate of forty knots an
hour, he thought no less than ten thou
sand masked burglars were in the room,
and without striking light he seized a
chair and wildly struck right and left
over the room, nearly Draining Mrs.
Poppleton before he discovered the true
situation of affairs. 1t was terrible
mistake, and Mrs. Poppleton was laid
up two weeks and five days, and the
first thing she did when she recovered
sufficient strength was to smash hum
dred and seventy-fve dollars worth OF
Chinese curiosities she had purchased
at the Centennial, and she says if she
were a man she would 60 to China and
not return home until she had split open
that physician from fgure-head to rud-
der, or words to that effect. Poppleton
enjoys his nightmare as of yore, with
out wifely interference. .-NOrraStown

A Fight with a Wolf.

Three young girls were minding
flock of sheep, a few days ago, at Vergt
Oordogne), when large wolf sudden
ly appeared, and, separating some OF
the sheep, drove them before it. The
cries of the girls irritated it, and,
passing near one of them, Marie S., it
flew at her, knocked her down, and
tore her savagely. Her cheek and up
per lip were sadly injured. However,
the dogs attacked the animal and re-
leased the girl. The cries and barking
attracted the attention of man named
Moreau, aged 80, who had formerly
been a soldier, and who, with his
daughter, girl of IS, was engaged in
cutting wood. He came out of the
thicket to see what was the matter, and
found himself face to face with the
wolf, which Immediately sprang at his
throat. He had no weapon; so he
clasped the animal around the body,
and they both fell together, rolling over
each other. After protracted strug'
gle Moreau managed to get the beast
beneath him and hold it firmly by the
throat. He then shouted to his daugh-
ter, who came and dispatched the wolf
with blows from a pickaX. Moreau
was much exhausted by the fight, but
fortunately escaped with only a wound
on the left hand. The animal was
found to measure meter and half
from the nose to the end of the tail.

Patriarchal Miscegenation.

The patriarch Joseph-the great
Viceroy Of Egypt, married black
woman; she was Asenath, the daughter
of Potipherah, priest of On. Moses was
married twice, each time to black
woman of the Ethiopian race; one was
Tharbis, the daughter of an Ethiopian
King; the other, zeporah, daughter
of Jethro, the Priest of Mi
dan. Jethro was an Ethiopian. King
Solomon married a black woman, an
Egyptian Princess. His Royal Queen
was one of the most beautiful women
Of her time. The King, in speaking Of
her beauty, describes her as "she that
looketh forth as the morning, fair as
the moon, clear as the sum-" Her name
was Naamah. She is the only woman
whose beauty is set forth and cele-
brated by the holy spirit of prophecy
in the word of divine truth. Jeroboam,
patriot King Of Israel, married a black
woman, and many other examples
might be cited.

Sam Houston Under Reprimand.

A large, fine looking man, of COM
manding presence, is the Speaker, and
arraigned before him, in the custody of
the Sergeant-at-Arms, is tall man of
more than six feet, and finely proper
toned; in the prime of life,with person
al advantages scarcely rivaled by any
notable man of his day, dressed in
faultless style, with not the least of de-
fanee or swagger, yet with perfect
ease, seh-possession and calm dignity,
the culprit stands at the bar of the
House awaiting the reprimand WHICH
the House has decreed shall be admin
istered to him by the Speaker.
The House is a study; breath
less silence reigns; the bearing
of the culprit makes sympathy and ev-
cry thing of the sort impossible, while
that of the Speaker makes it difficult in
the extreme for some of the Repre-
sentatives to restrain themselves from
violating the decorum of the House by
laughing outright; the Speaker is by
far the most embarrassed man upon the
scene, suggesting the idea that he is
the one to be punished rather than the
one to administer punishment.
In a hesitating, perturbed manner,
he at length tells the culprit that the
House had ordered that he should be
reprimanded before its bar by its
Speaker, and he (he Speaker) begs
him (the culprit) to consider himself
reprimanded according to the said or
der. The culprit bows in q graceful
and dignifed, almost lordly manner, an
almost audible smile spreads over the
House, and the scene closes, The
Speaker is Andrew Stevenson, of Vir-
ginia, and the culprit is Sam Houston.
A member from Ohio, named STAN
berry, we believe, had accused Houston
of defrauding the Government in
transaction with an Indian tribe upon
the Tennessee border; the latter had
demanded an investigation, but had

Mistaken in the Man.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, writing from Washington,
says:
"Joachim Miller is here. He has on
his cards "Joe Miller" I have a
friend, woman of singular genius and
great literary pretensions, on whom he
called several weeks ago and to whom
he sent up his card, when this CONVEX
sation took place between James, her
dining-room servant, who has been in

came in the reception room, sat down,
and said there he'd wait"
"Did you ever see him beforeP"
"No, madame. l don't think he's
the sort of gentleman what Oe've been
accustomed to receive"
"Joe Miller? What does he look
like, gentleman"
"No madame, l think, Mrs. --, he's
q man selling them plates for marking
clothes!"
And so Joe Miller, the poet, whom
nv friend had desired to meet, was
turned away because Joe did not iden-
tify Joaquin.

been unable so obtais any satisfaction.
Smarting under the charges and
despairing of legal redress, he at last
gave the accuser severe Gaming with
in the precincts of the Capitol. Of
course, the House could not do other
wise than arraign the Gamer, and a
reprimand was the least penalty it
could adjudge him.-American Monthly.
