 MARROW EsCAPE.-Mr NJ. II. Sherman, our model school teacher, while riding south | of town yesterday, on horseback, narrowly | escaped serious injuries.

Luckily he had on large | pair of boots which allowed the foot to slip out and leave the boot hanging in the stirup Had it not been for the loose boot worn by MT.

 Hon. Gideon Brooke has been confined to his bed for the past two or three days with a severe attack of rheumatism, which seems to have no settled locality or to be to any one part of the system, but changes from one arm to tic other and vice versa. The sap,e with bis egs, first one is swollen producing great pain and then in a few hours disappears and takes possession of the other imb. This is kind of changeable rheu~ natism and attended with the most scruti- ting pains. MT. B. is somewhat leved o-day, and we hope to see him all rig ht again n few days.

L. McKeehan | reached, last evening, an interesting ser f lon from Gen. 12-7: And there builded r e an altar unto the Lord, who appeared d nto him." The text had reference to the d rriyal of Abraham in the land of Sichem t' nd the object of the preacher was to i'm ress upon his hearers the necessity of doing le Lords work first, and attending to secu- IT affairs afterwards. Abraham was rich nd honored of all men, yet he did not for :, ct his duty to God. The speaker paid ne tribute to the memory of the late ex- H ov. H. H. Haight, of California, whom he kened unto Abraham m that he, too, was N oh, honored and respected, yet he never lowed his own affairs, nor those of the q ate, to interfere with his religious duties. IT. McKeehan appears to be growing in E vor with tho church-going people of al rescott. ii wen Times Around the World for S29, ,0OO ~ ~ As the distance from here to Fort Yuma tv
