THE BELL JURY.

Bell, are historic, and more strictly speaking
identical with names that figure PROMINENT,
in English and American literature. Howard
is a name borne by the great English philan-
thropist Clarke was one of the earliest ex
plorers of the western wilds of America, and
gave his name to one of the rivers that wash
the borders of Nevada. Lovejoy bears the
name of one of the original abolitionists, who
was, years ago, assassinated for giving ex-
preston to his peculiar views in the State OF
Illinois. Gray is a name that ranks highly
in English poetry, and is known as the author
of "Gray's Eegy." Jackson is name illus
trious in American history, the same being
borne by the hero of New Orleans, and after
ward President of the United States. That name
was also borne by the immortal "Stonewall,"
the greatest General of the Confederate army.
| Shakespeare needs only to be mentioned to re-
mind every reader of the greatest of poets.
Cameron is a name famous in the annals of
Scotland as one of the chiels of Scottish clans;
and Arnold is a name that can only fade from
the recollection of mankind when perfdy is
esteemed virtue, and treason to country the
distinguishing badge of honor.
ESCAPED CHICKENS. -There was great ex-
element in front of Clescovich's restaurant
yesterday afternoon. 1t appeares that he
purchased coop full of fine, fat, healthy
chickens to serve up for his guests during the
holidays. The coop was dumped upon the
sidewalk in rude sort of manner, the
bumper totally disregsrding the sensitive
natures of Its inmates. The conclusion of
the chicken house with the sidewalk loosened
some of the boards of the coop, and about
half dozen of the chickens escaped. The
purchase was concluded, and the losses, if
any, were at the risk of the purchaser In
consequence of which fact, Clescovich sum-
moned his entire force, Teutonic and Oriental,
to capture his live stock The cackling of
the chickens and the loud voice of the res
taurant attaches had the effect of attracting !
large congregation of Carson street idlers, the |
greater number of which engaged in the
chase. The chickens flew and ran from one
side of the street to the other, from the north
end of the town to the south, followed by the
mob; creating . frenzy in the breasts of
horses, dogs and cats which had the misfor-
tune of being upon Carson's principal tho
roughfare at that time But, to curtail
nsfT attise which might be everlastingly strung
out, the chickens were eventually caught, and
they will be served UP in an Incompatible
style at Clescovich's rotisserie during the
coming holidays.
TAKEN TO HIS LIFELONG HoME-TT.ester-
lay afternoon U. S. Marshal Ash and Sheriff
Swift conducted George Wilson, the convicted
Cherry Creek mail robber, to his lifelong
home at the State Prison. There that miser-
.ble man will exc out a wretched existence,
perhaps for many, many years, for he has not
yet reached the prime of life He has no
or moneyed friends who can or
will intercede for his pardon, and in that
ombre prison he will exist until merciful
Tod puts period to his career. What 1
garning this mans punishment should be to
theirs who, in moment of impecunosity or
esperation resulting therefrom, contemplate

as before him can better be imagined than

RECOVERING the Gold Hill Ners of D
'st evening: Mrs. Torp is still getting along
lvorably. She was yesterday morning re- r.
loved to the house of Goth. HAST and is u

oval and of the funeral of Mr.. Torp yester- n
~ operated disadvantageously upon her,
Id in the afternoon she was taken with

lxious about her, but her physicians now
onounce her in fair way to recover.
