In Austrian black and gold;
Wrought all in silver are his cells,
Fine spun, a thousand fold.

On fragrant bushes bound.
And at his ievee, every morn,
Such brilliants do appear '''

By Christian monarch dear. .re.rr t.7

And hangs them up to die.

LOCAL ENTELLEGEN CE.
Gone to Arizona.

J. c. Fall has left Unionvillc for che
present, and, We believe, is going to
Arizona He says that he spent S3,-
600, O00 of the product of the Arizona
mine in Unionvlle. For two or three
years past, his mining operations did
not pay, in consequence of the ruinous
discount on bullion, but he continued
to work his mines and run his mills at a
loss, and finally had to succumb to the
inevitable. Had he found such bonan.
zas as were developed III the Arizona
mine years ago, it would have been
otherwise. Mr.. Fall is man of in
domitable pluck and untiring. energy
and perseverance, and it is a matter of
deep regret to the people of Unionville,
as we'll as severe blow to the prosper
ity of the place, that he was not sue
cessful.

Unionyille Items.

Chris Lark, of Unicnville, was in
town yesterday afternoon. He has
leased the Arizona mill, and is working
hard to get ore to keep It running. He
says Unionville people are very much
excited over placer mines. They find
good prospects in the canyons aud low
down in the foothills along Buena Vista
creek. Good prospects have also been
found along Cottonwood creek, three
miles south of Unionville, and near
Frank Merrows place, in Spaulding
canyon, in the East Range.

The bridegroom of Waukegan we'd
ding was Baptist and the bride a
Methodist They had agreed that, I'M
mediatcly after the ceremony, they
would decide by chance which would
should embrace the others religion.
The officiating clergyman declined to
toss up cent, partly because he would
not countenanee such a proceeding, and
partly because, being a Methodist, he
might be accused of frasd If the bride
won. The bride herself finally threw
the coin, and lost. When she went to
join the Baptists, however, they rejected
her because she did not believe'in close
communion. That displeased the hus-
band, and he went over with her to the
Methodists.

BEN SMITHS CANNON.
A HOwitzer with q History.

The Virginia Enterprise says Ben
Smith has found his cannon, "Sweot
Betsey" Ben made "Betsey" thunder
when President Hayes visited the Com
stock, and intended to let her voice be
heard in honor of the success of Colonel
Fair, but when lie went to look for the
old gal she had disappeared Ben has
found his Betsey again, however, and
does not intend to lose sight Of her.
Ben's pet is brass howitzer that was
abandoned in the Bodie region by Col
onel Fremont on the occasion of his first
trip through this couBtry. "Betsey"
is historical piece. We saw her long
before she came TO the Comstock. In
the Fall of 1859 we happened to be
scouting around where Bodie now is
and found the old gun lying out in the
desert, as bright and good as new-so
bright that her glittering could be seen
& long distance. In 1860 We came to
the Comstock, and when the rebellion
broke out in 1851 we wsre in Silver
City, and thinking the gun might be
useful here, as rebel flag had been
raised in this city for about minn.e)
we made map of the route to the gun
and gave it to Bill Wallace, of Grass
Valley. California, who was then run
ming pack train Of some ten animals to
Bodie, and in due time he returned with
"Betsey," who has been knocking about
the Gcmstock ever since.

burn, water-b rash, gnawing and burn
ing pains at the pit of the stomach,
yellow skin, coated tongJe and a

alleviate coughs. sore throat, hoarseness

years these Troches have been in use,

improved merinos of Vermont; yield
fiesees as fine as OLA, and none Of the
best bloods are coarser than 900, winch
was the very finestin 1856. There are
however ut this tirhYsheep in Australia
and On the Cape OF Good Hope, that
yiell wool as fine Ms .Ol2 OF a Millime-
ter. These measurements show won
der,ul advance in the fneress OF Yer
mont Merinos, and if our sheep hus-
bInlmen are able TO keep ON at this
rate of improvement, 1t requires but a
few years longer for us to excel in fine
wool sheep. In fact we may be able to
challenge the world for the equal. The
immunity Of Vermont sheep from dis
eases, doubtless, owing to our fine pas
ture, enables US to rival even countries
that might seem better fitted for sheep
husbandry and this should induce
many more to become breeders OF sheep
and of the best sheep too. While
most admit that poor sheep plv well
for keeping, all know, or should know
that good sheep yield u profit not found
in other branches of stock raising. A
word to the wise is sufficient.
