TO RABBIT CREEK AND BACK.

Ed WoRLD:-I see by Fridays pa
per that six men went out to Rabbit
creek to bring in the body of d. Il.
Bretall, and thinking your readers
would like an account of our TRIP,
will give it,. The party consisted 0
Mr.. Damase Frenett, the partner of
the deceased, George Bidwell, George
Doble, William Lass, @. Vanthon and
myself. We left Idaho City at I
o'clock on Thursday morning last, and
arrived there at o'clock that after
noon. We found the snow to be from
three to seven feet deep, and very sol
I'D. On arriving at our destination,
which is fifteen miles from here, we
found Mr. Charles Small, for whose
safety his friends had become uneasy.
He had been list twenty-four hours be-
tween the head of Hoodoo and Rabbit
creek. Three Of our company ex-
humed the corpse while two built a
sled, using nowshoes for runners.
BY dark everything was in readiness.
At o'clock on the next morning we
commenced by getting the body out
of the deep ravine in which it was sit
uated, and found the task very diff.
cult. A rope sixty feet long was
used. One man would hold the box
in it's place, while the others would
go ahead and station themselves, and
pull it up to them, and then repeat the
same work till it was taken to the TOP
of the mountain, a distance of three
fourths of a mile. Your readers NAV
understand the difficulty Of the work
when they learn that the mountain
was so steep that we were obliged to
climb through the deep snow on our
hands and knees. Had not every man
been determined, the work could not
have been accomplished After get
ting onto. the summit the long rope
was passed ahead, to which short
ropes from the shoulders of each man
was attached, this being the only way
we could drag the load, as we were
obliged to go all the way on snow
shoes. Four of US went ahead, and
two remained behind to hold back
while going down the steep noun
tains. The box was upset only once
On the trip. The main difficulty was
in getting to More creek, where we
were met by Mr. Hansen, who assist
ed US. From there to town nothing
worth recording happened.

went into a small postoffice in a. rural
region of England He asked some
questions relative to the registering

and rudely snubbed by young wo<
man in attendance. He asked her if
she thought that was a proper way
to answer an inquiry iii a public of.

quite civil enough for him. He asked
her, with an ominousIy increasing
mlldness of manner, if she would fa-
vor him with her name. She emphat-
ically declined to do so. He then
said ne thought he would tell her his
name, which, however, she declined
to hear, saying that his name was no
concern Of hers. He calmly replied
that he thought it was, for his name
was Johr Manners. and he was the

Business for Ladies.

Our attention has been called to a new
article for the use of ladies, the invention
of which has conferred an everlasting G
blessing upon every lady. We refer to
the Queen City skirt suspenders for sup
porting ladies skirts, the most desirable
and beneficial article ever invented for
the relief of women, many of whom have
suffered years of miserable health caused
solely by carrying the weight of num-
Der of heavy skirts, completely dragging
them down. Something to support ladies
clothing is absolutely necessary. These
suspenders are recommended by our
leading physicians to all ladies and young
girls. Every lady should have them.
They are sold only through lady agents.
A splendid opportunity is offered to some
reliable lady canvasser of this county to
secure the agency of pleasant and prof
liable business. For terms and territory
write at once to the Queen City Suspen-
der Company, 278 Clark Street, Cincin-
natl, o.
