 Deputy Sheriff J. A. Berry, of Pomona who was in the city yestcr- day, gives the following additional particulars of the murder of MT. and Mrs. Palmerton at San Jacinto. It seems that Mexican whose name il not known, called at the house of an old man and woman on the evening stated and asked for something to eat. The lady sup piled him with victuals which he proceeded to make away with, talk ing his station on the wood pile near the back door. In the meantime, the man came in from the field where he had been at work, and taking a bucket of water, sat down upon the door step and proceeded to wash his feet. While he was thus engaged, the Mexican killed him with an axe. The wretch then went into the house and attacked the old lady. He first aimed at her head, when she threw up hel hand to ward the blow of, and ir doing so had the four fingers sev. cred from the band. He then struck her again, this time doing the work He then undertook to ransack the house, but was prevented from do ing so by the barking of dog.

Wood is strong in ratio to it,

Wood is strong in ratio to its weight. The heaviest and densest will prove the most durable. This should be selected for weight carry ing purposes, such as the ties of bridges, where the two qualities of strength and durability are desira- ble. Coarse-grained wood weighs the heaviest, and as it contains more resin than that of finer grain, is especially adapted for q position which has. to contend with any de. gree of dampness.

Austin ReUeile: If the follow ing is not, to use a slang phrase, "dead give away,' then we are no judge: A gentleman, remarkable more for his egotism than the brightness of his intellect, was ex- postulating with a friend in regard to the latters' use of tobacco. After exhausting all other arguments, he concluded by the remark: "It will make d-d fool of you; I know what I am talking about, for I used it fifteen years. The listener con- ceded that his argument was con- elusive, and retired to smile over the apt illustration.
