A Heroic Fellow.


A pleasure boat containing David
Barber, Miss Mary Rockingham aud
Miss Lima Hemminger was capsized
about q mile aud half from John
sons Island, in Lake Erie, on last

ham had gone down and succeeded in
bringing her to the surface, where
she soon recovered. aud clung. like
her companion, to the keel. Barber

her hold and again sank. Barber
Owed, caught her and rode shore

Cheeky Burglars

Some time during last night burg
lars effected an entrance into the
saloon of Mr.. r. X. Brown, on King
street, by going through a transom
leading into card-room in the rear
of the building. They overhauled
things generally, emptying two bot
tiles Of whisky and jar containing
soda crackers. They also took what
money there was IN the till, three
short bits. When Brown opened his
doors this morning he found things
generally displaced. and his letters,
bills, etc., scattered promiscuously
about the room. He also found a
note, written in Roman characters, Of
which tho following is a copy:
Have more money and keep your
dog at home next time. BuRGLARs.

4 New Crusade Against High.
Heeled Boots.

High-heeled boots are getting a
raking over on their native heath at
the hands of some French reformers.
Work of this kind is always a great
waste Of energy and good intentions
on the part of those engaged in it.
The arguments have all been gone
over time and again, and after it all
there are few things that so delight a
young woman as high-heeled boot.
1t is easy enough to prove that high
heels throw the weight Of the
body from the calcaneum; that they
distort the muscles of the feet and
produce cramps and bring on hys-
terra, and by making cripples Of our
girls destroy their chances of securing
husbands--sll this goes for nothing
with a young woman who has got
the ridiculous idea into her head that
q high heel in the middle of her boot
has way Of making her foot look
two or three sizes smaller than it
really is. There is not enough mind
in a young woman like that for an
argument to take hold of.

to the death Of Miss Rowena L. NAL
lett, found :" that the deceased, named
Miss Rowena L. Mallett, was native
of Maine, aged about twenty three
years, that she came to her death on
the twenty-first day of August, 1879,
in this county, by drowning, having
been found In Weber Lake, and that
the act was premeditated and not &C.
cidental." There were no facts
ELECTED which threw any light upon
the motive for the rash act. Friends
removed the remains to Truckee,
where they were buried last Friday.

A THANKSGIVING EXHIBIT.
Some Of the Things Americans Have Rea-
son to be Grateful For.

The New York Herald oommemorated
Thanksgiving day by o sketch Of our agricui-
tural progress, aud q forecast OF the hundred
millions OF population OF which the United
Stntss are TO be, In the near future the home.
Besides this somewhat enthusiastic account
of our material and vital power and OF our
present and prospective greatness, 1t gives,
by means Of parallel lines, a graphic exhibit
OF the areas OF our States and territories, as
compared with those Of the countries OF
Europe, and as shown by the number OF
square miles belonging to each. A glance at
these show that the Austrian empire, In point
Of area, s the largest OF any country In
Europe, containing as 1t does 2i0,943 square
274, ,35G square miles, ID larger than the Aus
trlan empire the German empire, France,
Spain and Sweden following In decreasing
| succession California is within q trltie equal
In area to Sweden, and Dakota and Montana
are each nearly as large In territorial OK pam
sion as California. Great Britain and Ireland
together ara only about the size OF New
Mexico, while Portugal, equal only to Maine.
Ia exceeded In size by Kentucky The State of
West Virginia Is larger than either Holland
or Greece, and Belgium is but two hundred
and fifty square miles larger than Maryland.
When we come 10 our agricultural STATISTICS
the exhibit is equally remarkable. Our crop
of corn In 1878 WAS 1893 2lS, ,750 bushels, wheat
t2O, 122, 400 bushels. hay 30.eo8.296 toms oats
4l3,57s, $50 bushels, The cotton crop reached
very nearly 5000, 900 bales; potatoes yielded
| t2l, t26, $50 bushels OF the staple crops for
export weh1d In 1878, roughly speaking, 80,-
| 600 square miles In corn, 10000 square miles
| In wheat, and $4,000 square miles In cotton
Truly our stump orators may well say,
This Is q big country.
