r. G. Emmous of Lovelock arrived here
yesterday. He informs us that an attempt
70 assassinate him was made recently, and
that his son narrowly escaped the bullet which
was evidently intended for him. The shot
was fired into the express Office, which he had
left a few moments before, and in which his
son was standing at the time. The bullet was
fred from the door, which was partly opened,
and buried itself in the counter A short
time before this attempt was made on his
life, Mr.. Emmons' cellar was fired by an in
oendiary, and burned, with It's contents. Mr..
Eumons does not know his enemies, and can
assign no reason for these cowardly outrages,
except it is because he attends to his own
business and does all he can to attract settlers

How the Money was Stolen.

One would scarcely imagine, after the
infinite ingenuity that has been display.
ed in stealing for innumerable ages, that
any new method could be devised. But O
colored porter employed in shop at
Little Rock, Ark, appears to have ap-
propriated money in an original manner.
The tradesman had continually missed
small sums from his cash-drawer, and
could not account for their disappear
snce. Finally, he suspected the porter,
and had him searched every evening be-
fore going home. But he could find no
ground for his suspicion, and was at his
wits end to explain the mystery, when
he observed one night that tame fe-
male opossum, in the habit of follow
ing the colored man everywhere, did not
accompany him. The animal seemed
desirous to 60, but, for some reason,
could not move. The shopkeeper think.
ing her i'll, took hold of her, and was
surprised at her weight. Reversing her
position, the enigma was solved. a
shower OF small silver coins descended
from her pouch to the floor, and betray-
ed the mans thefts. He had overloaded
her on that occasion, and she could not
follow as had been her custom when
more lightly freighted.

how q wife whose husband was sick unto

marry again, until the mold on his

the CONSCIENTIOUS widow applied her.

the grave by tanning it. This accom-

Forests In EnrOpe,

The proportion OF land covered with
forests throughout Europe is twenty
nine per cent, of which Russia and
Sweden furnish the greatest part. In
Russia, forty per cent. Of the territory
is covered with woods, and of this some
200, 600, 600 acres are covered with pines
and other cone bearing trees. Sweden
and Norway have thirty-four per cent. 4,
chiefly birch, maple, pine, fir and willow.
Austria has twenty-nine per cent, Ger
many has twenty-six per cent. and France
seventeen. Far below these comes
Spain, with its cork woods and evergreen
oak forests, covering seven per cent. of
the land, and Holland and Belgium with
the same. Portugal comes next with
five per cent, and Great Britain llows
with four per cent. The percentage
annually decreases in all countries
rapidly.

"The postoffice is business institution, and
should be run as such. It is my deliberate
judgment that and my subordinates can do
more for the party Of our choice BY giving the

A Mule that Can COunt.

There is a mule driven on one OF the
First South street cars, in Salt Lake
City, apparently little more sensible
than others. It is generally on the
morning shift, and has to make five
round trips before the team is changed.
Every day, as soon as the mule comes
on the fifth return trip from the upper
end of the line, it begins to whinny half
a block before he reaches Second East
street, and if the change team does not
happen to be waiting, and the driver
has to run to the bank corner and return
before changing, it will stretch its neck
and whinny again, louder than before,
about the same distance before it reaches
the place. How that mule keeps trac &
of the fifth trip is more than it's driver
has found out.
