Remarkable Cure of a Boy yesars cid. Read what his Father
 says about 1t.
 MT. Charles J. Wade of East street. Lenox, says that his son, years old, came home from school a few days since, complaining of 8 se- were sore throat. Within twelve hours the dis ease (Diphtheria) had progressed so rapidly that the boy was unable to talk, was in high fever and out of his head, while his throat was covered with white patches as large as his thumb nail. A Bottle of "PoTAsKA" was p O. cured and teaspoonful of the specific given every half hour for ten hours. Impro 7ement was noticed in three hours and at the end ot ten hours the boy was decidedly better, and the next day had his clothes on, and was able to leave the house ip three days. ssPoTAsKA' was given the other five children in the house as Preventive, and not one of them had the disease. Mir. Wade is so impressed with the wonderful power of "PoTAsKA,' not only in his own family but also in those of his neiglbors who have used it, that he cannot find words strong enough to express his high rinion of it as Throat Specific. sIs +.s- .e... ...
 MT. B. F. Bartlett, 8 neighbor of Mir. Wade's, fully endorses the above and says: have lately had in my family two cases of genuine Diphtheria, both of; which were cured by ssPo- TAsKA." Duris g the late epidemic in my neigh borhood have known of a number of cases where ''PoTAsKA" has been used with wonder ful success.

GREAT RAINFALL IN MENDOCINO

California has been the scene of extraor-
binary high water of late. Of the freshets on
Russian river the telegraph informs us:
Healdsburgh, March 1.-THE rains have
ceased, the sun is out spring like, and every
thing indicates that the weather is again set
tied fair. We are now enabled to give re-
sumo of the late food with accuracy, verified
by personal interviews with residents i'll every
direction. The waters of Russian river were
higher than in II years, and were given the
excess of rains in Mendecino county, rs our
local streams were but little higher than last
year. This accounts for the very slight dam
age we have sustained washing and cutting.
There are three bridges within three miles of
this city, in the aggregate costing $4,000
Two were uniujured. One was i'll places
raised off the bolts and set over on the piing
few feet. 1t needs but few weeks work
to replace it. The rich bottom farmers have
sustained but trifing damage to crops, but in
cas- IS have lost few rails and pickets. No
loss of stock has occurred An embankment
of gravel over slough near town naturally
went away, OBTAINING the trains of the San
Francisco and North Pacific few days A
small bridge on Hot Spring creek, near
Skaggs Springs, being built too low, was
washed out, but the canyon road was cut but
little more than usual Some of the Geysers
and other canyon roads are somewhat INJURED.
The valley roads are almost uniniured very
few cutouts or washes being known. The
crops are coming out gloriously, the trees are
in leaf, wild flowers in bloom, and the verdure
rich and luxuriant. Our summer resorts will
all be open in a few weeks. The rain fall for
the storm was $50 inches; for the season,

A SPECK OF WAR.

In the Bodie Standard of the 10th instant
occurs the following reference to our old
friend Jack McQuaid
j. A McQuald, an attorney in petty
larceny case before Peterson, was sent to
Bridgeport Saturday for contempt Major
Foote was employed by the plaintiff 1t seems
McQuald persisted in objecting to questions
put by plaintiff before the question was COM
pleted. The Judge requested that the ques-
Jon be asked and then time allowed for OBJ
lection before the witness answered. The
usual squabble ensued, resulting as above.
On McQuaids arrival at Bridgeport he was
discharged by the County Judge on the
ground that the complaint read that Justice
Peterson ordered the attorney to sit down and
fined him twenty four hours because he would
not sit down. Massey had the prisoner in
charge and asserted his rights as Deputy
Sheriff when acting as Deputy Constable in
a Justice Court. Had the Constable himself
been in charge, it is doubtful if the crowd OF
800 people would have collected aud made so
many demonstrations as they did when the
distinguished prisoner left. While Peterson
may seem severe, we can but indorse his old
time discipline in preserving order in Court.
Without it the Court would be farce and
hoodlumsm reign supreme-bloodshed would
follow, and any lawyer versed in bulldoZlng
extraordinary could run the Court to suit his
case. 1t is legal etiquette to revoke fines i'm
posed upon attorneys when the legal men
make proper apologies, but when the Green
ieef eXpuunder shakes his fist and will not
notice the Judge, and afterwards calls him a
son Ola b within his hearing it will be nee
essary to go before a Justice who knows no
better than to stand it and allow his Court to
be made burlesque tragedy show.
In the Bodie News of the next day. Jack,
filled with the fire of tempestuous wrath,
speaks his feelings in the following vehement
and unequivocal fashion:
EDITOR OF BoD1E News: The fellow who
wrote the article concerning me i'll last II ght 5
Standard is sneaking and tawning liar; ii liar
by insinuation, and dares not front me He
must have done it because | have been re-
| tanned chief counsel for one of the prOprie-
tors of the Bodie Standard. | am compelled
to night to go to Bridgeport again Immediately
on professional business. A dispatch will
reach me at once; in the meantime | will
give reference to personal friend who will
attend to my personal business in my absence.
The fellow pretends to be gentleman-this
pimp, assassin of personal character, if he
don't understand this will be marked in this
community hereafter as coward as well Il
liar. JNO. A. MCQUAID.
P. S.-Tbe Superior Judge in Bridgeport
decided on Peterson's own papers that in
every respect did Only my duty rs lawyer,
and | discharged fcc that reason. (See
Frank Owens, my counseL)
Whom Jack is firing at we cannot even
guess, at this distance But that he means
fight everybody who knows him will be very
sure We await results with no little interest

How Il recreant Assemblynau was received
by his constituents is related as follows by the
Siicer State of Wednesday:
Hon C) O. P Crawford reached Paradise
Valley, where he resided prior to his election,
last Monday evening. The moment he
alighted from the stage bunch of FIRE crack
ers was fastened to his coat tail and the gen.
tleman hoped around like flea in hot skill
let for several minutes Some of his indig-
nant constituents were intent on giving him a
coat of tar and feathers, but they were dis
suaded from this purpose by S. B. P. Pierce,
G. G.. Biles and others. A series of resolu-
tions were adopted, the substance of which is
an invitation to Mr.. Crawford to leave the
valley. If all those who made business of
breaking pledges given by them to the people
at the first coin offer they received for votes,
were Stunned by their betrayed constituents
it would have tendency to make legislators
hesitate ere they bartered the interests of tine
people for coin.

New York, March -. Herald reporter
interviewed Senator Bayard last night. He
thinks the extra session of Congress will be
short and general legislation will be excluded.
Two appropriation bills will be passed aud the
obnoxious war test oath of 1862 will be re-
pealed, which he says excludes nearly the en-
tire white population of the South from the
jury box. A law will be passed providing for
impartial juries an amendment of the law
permitting the presence of armed forces at
elections to keep the peace; and repeal f
those portions of the revised statutes which
provide for the appointment of Federal Off
Gals as supervisors of elections in the several
States, and of countless deputy marshals with
unlimited power of arrest with or without
process, even while the election is proceeding.
