THEIR TRIALs.-De Witt Talmage
says: One of the greatest trials of
the newspaper profession is that its
members are compelled to see more of
the shans Of the world than any 9TH
er profession. Through every news
paper office, day after day, 40 all the
weaknesses Of the world; all the van
tiles that want to be pulled; ali the
revenges that want to be reaped; all
the mistakes that want to be correct
ed; all the dull speakers who want to
be thought eloquent; all the meanness
that wants to get its wares noticed
gratis in the editorial columns, in order
to save the tax of the advertising COL
umns; all the men who want to be set
right who were never right; all the
cracked Drained philosophers with
stories as long as their hair, and as
gloomy as their finger nails, in mourn
ing because bereft of soap-all the
bores who come to stay five minutes,
but talk FIVE hours. Through the edi.
torial and reportorial rooms all the
folies and shams of the world are seen
day after day, and temptation is to be-
lieve in neither God, man nor woman.
1t is no surprise to me that in this pro-
fession there are some skeptical men;
l only wonder. that journalists believe
anything.

Hogs and Sheep Burnt.

at IL o'clock Wednesday night 7.
0. French, who lives within go or 10
yards of Brown & Co.'s Slaughter
house, in Slaughter House gulch, was
walked out of his sleep by the crack
ling and roaring Of fire, rushed to the
door that fronted towards the slaugh-
ter house, he found the building on fire
and the heat so great he could not en-
dure it. He gave the alarm by hal
lowing; hastily slipped on his pants,
and in his bare feet crossed over to
the corral beside the slaughter house,
where thirty-five big fat hogs were
confined and franticalIy rushing around
squealing. With his bare feet he
kicked off some of the fence boards,
and the hogs that were not al

number rushed out to the scene, which
is half mile from town. The fire
had got 50 far along before being dis.
covered that there was no possible
chance to save anything beyond the
few hogs that were released alive.
Out of the thirty-fve hogs there
have been but is found alive, all Of
them more or less burnt. Four have
been found dead. Sorte of those liv-
ing have the hair burnt off in patches,
skin crisped, and some with eyes

already preparing to rebuild, and will
be able to continue their business with
out interruption.
The cause Of the fire is unknown.
The fire under the boilers was care
fully extinguished at 3 o'clock the day
before by Mr.. Hull, who attends to

IMPORTANT SALE OF MINING PROPERTY

Sam Clarkson, of Pioneerville, and
Andy Brown Of our town, have sold
t. Ben Wilson and H. II. Whitney, of
Pioneerville, the Mammoth quartz
mine and mill, located at Summit
Flat, in this county Messrs. WIN
son and Whitney have ample means
to carry on the business successfully,
and are possessed Of sufficient energy
for any enterprise, and as it is their
intention to tear down and remove
the mill to place more convenient to
the mine and commence operations
shortly, we may look for large results,
as the mine years ago proved itself to
be rich and valuable. We hope this
will be the beginning of extensive OPP
erations at Summit Flat, where years
ago large sums of money were made
by operating in a small way.
We condense the following Indian
war news from the Salesman: W
