Head Light Street Lamps.

Our attention has been called to new
and very decided improvement in head light
street lamps. They are so constructed that
the wind does not disturb them particle.
They have an oil tank and font which holds
Il gallons sufici ent to last 80 days. 1t will
give as much light as gas and does not cost
near as much. 1t is regulated by the wick
to extinguish itself in 4, 6, s, 10, or IL
hours as required In fact it is the best
most economical and handsomest street
lamp yet made land must become popular
and widely used where gas is not available.

Oscar Pixley, of Oakland, claims to be
the first farmer in his town that has plan ted
all his corn, he having finished planting IS
acres on the 3lst of April. Mr.. Pixley

Mr.. Paul Cartwright of Sullivan, was
born Dec. 1874, but does not claim, to have
been the first white child born in that tow q
but claims to be the first that is now resi-
dent of said town. This we think is in &C.
cordance with the first statement made in
one of the issues Of the Enterprise. 1t is
now evident that neither Mr.. Cartwright
nor she that was Sybel Tenny was the first
born in that town. AS far rs heard from,
Harriet A., daughter of Darius Reed, Esq,
who was born July 8th, 1843, was. the, first
white child in the town of Sullivan. Any
one knowing of an earlier birth in the town
of Sullivan will make it known, and have
the important historical fact decided who
was that lucky child.

twill soon be ascertaned what amount
of money goes into the treasury of our school
district on account of dogs. The amount
of course will depend on the number and
kind of dogs kept within the limits of the

the dogs that belong upon our streets have
not within few days, been wonderfully
thinned out, then we ought to be satisfied
with the dog revenue in favor LOT schools
that will accrue.-Enterprise.

Great Shooting Match for Sf0,000.

Dr. Carver and Capt Bogardus met in the Astor House this morning to ar. range a match. It was at first intend. ed to shoot a match at one thousand balls, half single and half double, but this was abandoned as too easy a lest to determine the question of en- durance, accu. acy and speed It was finally agreed that each man should break twenty thousand glass balls in six days, or one hundred and forty four hours. Capt. Bogardus will use a shotgun, and the balls will be thrown into the air from a pair of Bogardus traps, set at fifteen yards rise. Dr. Carver can choose between a shotgun and rifle. If the former he will shoot under the same conditions as Bogar. dus. If he shoots with a rifle, the balls are to be thrown into the air either by trap or by hand, as he pre- fers. The match is to be shot between September l and December 3l, this year. The stakes are not less than S10,000. They have agreed to throw the match open to all corners on the same conditions. The winner is to take all gate money and the aggregate stakes, and the loser is 10 pay for all the glass balls used. Each one is to load his own gun. Capt. Bogardus wished to have the match come of within a few days, but Dr. Carver has made arrangements for going to Flu rope on Saturday W. H. Huntley IS Dr. Carver's packer, while BOgardus backs himself Of course there is no probability that third man will enter. N. T. Telegram.

6L6cK DEATH.
The 0ngin Of the Dread PeStience noT
 Raoino in Southeastern RVssid.

The black death, which has again appeared in some parts of Russia, has proven very destructive, and caused the greatest alarm. This IS the same disease which, in the fourteeth century, desolated the globe, and gets its name from the black spots, symptomatic of putrid decomposition, that show themselves at one of its stages on the skin of the sufferer It is thought to have had its origin in China in 1888, some fifteen years before it's outbreak Tn Europe, and it ragged for twenty-five years, while trough, famines, floods, earthquakes that swallowed towns and mountains, and swarms of locusts spread devastation everywhere. Dur ing the same period Europe had as many abnormal conditions as the East. The order of nature appeared to be reversed. The seasons were at various times inverted thunder storms were frequent in midwinler, and vol canos long considered exlict burst forth afresh. The theory is that the extraor- dinary activity of the earth, accompan- fed by decomposition of vast organic masses-myriads of locusts, brutes, and bodies of human beings-prOduc- ed some change in the atmosphere h. imical to life. Some writers say that the impure air was actually visible as q fu of death. The plague owed its extentiou almost wholly to infection and con lagion. Three years passed from the date of it's appearance in COnslanuno- pie before il crept by huge circle to the Russian Territories. Statistics were not Obtainable then, but it is estimated that in China alone 13,000,000 people dIed, and in the remainder of the East 24,000,000, while in Europe 25,000,000 souls perished, making grand and terrible total of 63,000,000 Although there is little danger of the spread Ot the pest to Western Europe-for many generations it has been confined to the East-it is not strange that the Rus sians should be startled by the ravages the black death has already made Persons attacked with it are said to die like flies, and the ignorant and su- perstitious peasantry are so terrified by it that many have thought to have perished of pure fright. Fortunately, the laws of health and the peculiari- ties of disease are much better under stood now than in centuries gone by N. Y Times, January g.

 Irish Lord writing us from Tomb stone under date of February ,, says a frightful tornado visited that camp on the previous Monday about two O. clock in the morning. The saloon Of Denny < Owens was blown to frag- ments, and the dwelling of MT. Butter field was served in a like manner, and himself and family exposed to the fury of the storm; other buildings were not much damaged. Business generally is improving. Reports on mines are first rate The Merrimac is down sixty feet, and on the 4th instant blast in the bottom, threw out some rock which caused quite a breeze in camp. Native silver is very common at that mine. NIT. Fisk thinks he will have water for mill purposes within twenty days. The Contention mine continues to be the marvel of inc camp. The Empire shaft is down fifty feet and is Increas- tug in value. The Tranquility is a fine mine with plenty of good rock. All of McCann's mines are rtch.
