On Sunday night German NAMED
Henry Holesworth was stabbed seven
times, aud hit on the head with u
stone, by a man whose name IL un'
known, The ARRAY took place on
Main street, near the Crutchneld house,
about eleven O'Clock, Several parties
saw II from distance, HOleaworth
chased the man, and no turned on
him and hit him on the head with u
stone, aud when no fell, stabbed him.
He Ct up aud made for u negro
shantY, whore u colored woman with
whom he has lived for some years,
was stopping, saying all the time, ~
am dead" He was put TO bed, and u
doctor sent for. His wounds are dan
gerous. and II Ia doubtful II he can
survive them. He was able TO
talk, however, when our report.
or saw him last night. lie says
no knows the man who stabbed him
by sight no does the proprietor OF the
New Idea Saloon, M he has been about
town for year. The quarrel, we SUR
mise, was about the colored woman,
but she. M well as the wounded man,
keep close mouths. 10 Ia our opinion
the assallant was trying to get Into
the house when Holosworth met him
and drove him oil.

individual in the city who desires to
hand his name down to posterity, who
will present the city with a public
drinking fountain, for both man and
beast, place 1t on some public thor
oughfore, and thus enable the thirsty
to drink freely. In many cities they
have numbers of them, and they are
found to be great convenience. The
temperance societies would find this u
good method Of disposing of their sur
plus funds. Or the Young Mems Chris
tian association might take it in hand.
1t Is harder to get drink OF water

can't ask the city council to do it-they
are too poor, aud all the money that
can be raised should be expended in
drainage. Who will tackle the job?

A little han pulverizer which, on the
9th of March, had worked twenty
three days, had worked up 1s9 tons of
ore and cleaned up 200 ounces of gold,
worth $3.50 per ounce, or a total of
So, 700, or SO. IS per ton. 1t costs about
S12 per ton to mine it and will leave a
profit of s7.5s per ton, or for twenty
three days work S1,423.72 net gain,
over S62.25 per day. The company
expect to do better than this when
their twenty stamp mill gets in opera
alton about the first Of May. They
expect to mine and mill for SO per
ton, leaving a profit of that amount on
each ton. The new mill will u 20
tons per day, which will give a profit of
5000, every tw~enty-four hours, or $40
for each of the ten members of the
company. This is a fine lookout ahead,
but there is a still better one, as they
have a whole mountain of ore, which
runs $40 per ton 10Y and grows richer
as they get in deeper.

Farmers in Iowa, Minnesota, Kan.
sas, Nebraska and Colorado report the
prospects for grasshopper invasions this
spring as excellent-for the insects, the
heavy SHOWS and frosts of the winter
having proved insufficient to prevent
the Matching of the grasshopper eggs.

the Government commission, the farm
ers in some localities intend to insti-
tute practical measures to harass and
exterminate these pests, by firing the
dead grass Of the prairies in the spring,
instead of the autumn, and in this
manner burning immense quantities of
the grasshoppers before they reach a
destructive maturity.
