"A long box was shipped on the
Truckee Railroad, In Nevada, and at the
Virginia City station it was rudely
thrown about while a change of cars was
made. A moan inside the box led the
baggagemen to open it. They found
young Chinese woman, insensible and
standing on her head. She had been
brought to the United States by one Of
the Chinese companies, whose price for
her was $500. All Kim and she fell in
love, and, as he could not buy her, he
boxed her in order to get her away from
her captors.
The Western farmers hope for good
result from the congressional appropria-
ton of 10,0OO to investigate the 1isease
of swine. The so-called hog cholera
causes an estimated loss of 81, ,0t0, coo a
year to the farmers Of Missouri and IL
linoIs alone, and though the Legislature
of the former State offered reward OF
SIC, 900 for the discovery Of specific rem
edy for the disease, no such remedy has
ever been discovered.

the celebrated Sherman letter to Ander.
son and Weber, the witness brother,
he has seen Sherman write, and says the
original letter was in Sherman's hand.
This corroborates Anderson's testimony,
and clearly duplicates Mr.. Sherman in
the presidential fraud as one of the &C.
tive insIumentaiities engaged in its per-
pefration. Mr.. Sherman was no doubt
given the position Of Secretary of the
Treasury on account of the success of his
scheme to place Mr.. Hayes in the posi-
ton to which Gov. Tilden was elected.
Mr.. Hayes and his Secretary of the
Treasury ought to be impeached for par

fraud,

you want to be satisfied after you purchase
always get the best This Company seli
more than all the rest put together, and
there are about fifty different Machines on
the market. The Singer was the first to
reduce the price, and of course the miners
had to follow, and they had to co me little
below the Singer, or else they would have 70
abandon business, for know from expert
ence that parties say if You will take for
the Singer what I can get another at, will
take the: Singer oil the time. What do
they mean by that?
Cash prices, S35, $40 and S45, owing to
style and finish, but the Machines are the
same throughout i'll the nice adjustment OF
their parts, &c.
The best criterion that can give you as
to nv opinion of the different machines, IS
my connection with this famous Machine
