Coat NEAR BoDIE.-Says the Bodie Stan
dord (now daily, we are glad to see) of Sat
urday last
We were shown some specimens of Ignite
On Friday, the appearance OF which Is ex
ceedingly encouraging for large property.
The place from which the Ignite or coal came
is about three and a half miles south from
here, and the country is said to have all the
characteristics of coal bearing regions. Ex-
periments have revealed the fact that the coal
can be made to coke or will burn to white
ash. w. Anderson is one of the loCators of
the property, and he informs us that is his in
tention to push the work of development for
ward to successful issues and at once. The
Importance of development of this kind can
not be over estimated and should time prove
the presence of large coal bodies near Bodie,
the result would be to add materially to every
industry hereabout 1t is question of but
a short time when wood will be enormously
nigh or else cannot be procured at all, and the
Immense amount to be used here for fuel
alone is not an inconsiderable item in the
yearly consumption of articles of need and
comfort. We shall take pains to find out
more about this new discovery shortly when
we will give our readers the benefit of our
observations.

The FACTS ABOUT DICKENS MATRIMONIAL
TROUBLES. London correspondent of the
Auburn advertiser writes: "It will be graft
flying to thousands of Dickens admirers in
America to know that the wife of Dickens and
her sister, Miss Hogarth, are reconciled and
both united i'll compiling memoir of the
novelist In an interview one evening with
George Cr1likshank last December, at his
residence at Hsmstead, he told me that the
Inference which arose between Dickens and
his wife grew out of her frequent criticisms,
and what he thought intermeddling with his
own exclusive creation until he insisted upon
their living apart in the same house at Gad's
Hill. This she declined to do, and at once
took up her residence with Mr. and Mrs.
Cruikshank His eldest son, siding with his
nother, left also at the same time Mr..
Cruikshsnk added, There was no scandal
otherwise connected with the matter Per
haps in fairness, it ought to be said that
about this time Dickens had disagreed with
his publishers, Bradbury & Evans, about
Houehold Words, and parted company; and
that Charles Dickens, Jr., had married
laughter of Evans. This may have had its
influence upon the young man going with mis-

ton into the cause of the noise, showed that
4 large rock had rolled down the mountain
side, and, striking the outhouses attached to
the building, demolished the boards, fortu-
nately losing its force before coming in con-
tact with the main residence. Some scamp
had ioosened the stone and started it down
the mountain, probably for the fun of seeing
1t tumble. This is not the first time such &C
Cidents have occurred and the perpetrator
should be ferreted out and severely punished.
Such malicious mischief endangers the lives
of those living Paul street, and the fire.
queut repetition of the same is a source of
alarm to those who are put in peril.

LATE.-We are threatened with something
IN IRE to be dreaded than yellow fever, small
pox any other fatal disease. The air is
pregnated with the horrible rumor that there
IN to be an amateur dramatic company organ
lied in this town. Let the ground be covered
with fourteen feet of snow; let the merchants |
thirty one dollars per barrel; let the wood
choppers sell no wood less than twenty dol |
lars per cord let us all put up jobs on each |
ether, and upset things generally; but let us
be spared that fearful institution-the ''dram-
attic club. But if it must be done, let the
organization be perfected before the roads are
niockaded-so those Who have money can es-
cape. Of course those who remain will be
compelled to suffer for season, but death
will come at last-a welcome visitor. Dame
Rumor may, however be in error Let us
pray that this may be the case,-Au,ou

OF the Cherry Greek robbery case the
Independent of that forsaken city says:
Paul Mitchell, o. II. Grey and H. 7. Fitz-
hugh left last Tuesday morning for Carson, to
be in attendance on the stage robbery case.
A thorough nuisance has this affair become to
Cherry Checkers. We are in hopes that some
thing will die, or an earthquake may happen
that the trial may come to an ending.
The defendant is evidently annoyed at the
per-;stency of the prosecution.
