CRASH IN YOSEMITE.
Fall of a Huge Rock from the face
of the Sentinel.
[Maripcaa Gazette . |

Captain Litter informs us that on
Friday of last week, in the Yosmite val
ley, detached rock of huge dimensions,
some eight feet thick, sixteen wide and
about twenty feet long. which had stood
ever since the days of Noah's remarkable
food as a guard upon the outside of Sen
tinel rock, which overhangs the valley,
opposite Leidig' hotel, by some unknown
cause deserted its lofty position and came
laundering and crashing down the preci-
pice, carrying everything before it. In its
descent it crossed McCauley's trail three
or four times. cutting a perfect swath
through the trees until it struck a giant
pine, which, although it yielded, was suf-
huge bowlder rested within two or three
hundred yards of MCCauley's house and
residence. Had it not been for the large
pine tree, which the rock spent its force
against, it is quit possible that MCCauley
with his family would haye been crushed
to death without the least warning. The
falling of the rock and the terrible crash.
smoke and dust which lined it's pathway,
attracted the attention of quite number
of inhabitants of the valley, many of
whom Immediately visited the locality,
where it is said they found MCCauley ap-
parently unconscious of the great danger
he had SO miraculously escaped. He
said he heard the noise, but supposed it
was caused by large bodies of ice which
form on the water falls above and have
an occasional tumbling off into the val
ley below.

REUNION BANQUET.
Impressive Termination OF the Arny Of
the Tennessee Celebration.

CINCINNATI, April S.-The elimination
OF the Fourteenth Reunion of the Armv
OF the Tennessee was a banquet at the
Burnet House. Three hundred and fifty
persons sat down at the tables, of whom
not more than twenty were members of
the army during the war The dining
room was gorgeous with flags, many of
them being battle flags of Ohio regiments.
The decorations were profuse and signi
ficant, representing nearly all the imple-
ments of war, as well as badges of the
different army corps of the Army of the
Tennessee. Under a wide canopy COM
posed OF large garrison flag was placed
in the middle of one side of the room the
table of the President and more distin-
guished guests. Four other tables ex.
tended parallel with this the entire
length of the room. General Sherman
occupied the Presidents table and presid-
ed over the banquet. At the same table
were ex President Hayes, Generals Sheri-
dan, Pope, Cox, Belknap, Force, Hicken-
looper, Judge Taft and others. In the
body of the hall were the guests, seated
promiscuously. except that gentlemen
whishing to be seated togeather had
formed groups before entering the dining
room. The menu consisted of plain black
cartridge box of paper. When opened
the interior revealed satin list of toasts,
and the whole inner surface of the box
was covered with pertinent designs in
colors. At the top was view of Shiloh
meeting house, and tents, battle scenes
and badges covered the remainder ex-
cept the center, on which was printed
the bill of fare. There were seven cours
es served with military precision and
rather rapidly, for in less than two hours
from the beginning dessert was served.
General Sherman, in introducing the
toasts, directed that the hall be cleared of
servants and gave just five minutes for
the distribution of cigars. Then compli-
menting the music he requested that dur.
ing the rest of the evening it be limited
to single strain, instead of whole tune.
He called the attention of the tele-
graph men and the signal service men
that he was but the agent of this society
to do its will. In that capacity he an
nouncedI the first toast, 'sthe United
States to which Mr.. Hayes responded.
Other speeches were made by other
members of the association and the meet
ing adjourned at a late hour,

A WASTE OF TIME.
The st. Stubbs Bill a Law.


The following is the Stubbs Sunday
bill, which has become a law:
Be it enacted by the General Assembly
of the State of Ohio, That Section 6944 Of
the Revised Statues be amended and
Section 1889 be supplemented aiSf slfows:
SECTION 6944. Whoever sells or barters
any spirituous liquors ON the first day of
the week, commonly called Sunday, ex.
cept upon the written prescriptionIof a
physician, shall be fined not more than
fifty dollars.
SECTION 7032. Whoever on the first
day of the week, commonly called Sun
day, participates in or exhibits to the
public. with or without charge for ad-
mittance, in any building, room, ground,
garden or other place, in this State, any
theatrical or dramatic performance of
any kind or description, or equestrian or
circus performance of jugglers, acrobats,
rope dancing, sparring exhibitions, varie-
ty shows, negro minstrelsy, living statu-
ary, ballooning, or any base ball playing,
or any ten pines or other games of SINH
lar kind or kinds, or participates in keep,
ing any low or disorderly house or resort,
or shall sell, dispose or give away spir-
ituos liquors when any such show, per.
formance or exhibition is given, or house
in the place is kept, he or she shall, on
complaint made within twenty days
thereafter, be fined in any sum not ex.
ceeding $100 or be confined in the county
Jail not exceeding six months, or both, at
the discretion of the Court.
"Section g This act shall take effect
and be in force from and after its pas
sage"
As indicating the urgent necessity for
the passage of the above law, the Cincin-
natl Commercial quotes the following
sections from. the revised statutes already
in force, and which if enforced would
class every institution which could be
closed by the Stubbs enactment:
Section 6044 (Revised Statutes) Who
ever sells or barters any spiritous liquors
on the first day of the week. commonly
called Sunday, shall be fined not more
than five dollars
SEC. 7033. Whoever, being over four
teen years OF age, engages in common
labor on Sunday, works of necessity and
charity excepted, shall, on complaint
made within ten days thereafter, be fined
not more than five dollars
1t will occur to the average voter that
with these laws on the statute book, the
time and money expended in passing the
Stubbs Statute was simply wasted-inas-
much as it is not likely to punished any
person who could not for the same Of
fense be punished under the sections last
quoted if they were only in force.

A NEW DISCOVERY!
Spiritualism Explained,

The question of questions,
with the learned and unlearned,
the materialist, scientist, re-
ligionists, and in fact every
body, is "What is Modern
Spiritualism?" Is it, verify or
is it all a humbug? Can it be
explained from physiological
standpoint and does it come
under the head of Physics, or
does it come from supernatural
causes and without laws or or
der. That the phenomena ex-
lists, is beyond dispute, whether
it will ever be explained re-
mains to be seen. That some
spirits can be seen, handled
and made use of to a good ad-
vantage as well as explained is
also a TACT to which all drug
gists and chemists can testify.
They need not be named, be-
cause their name is legion.
We refer principally to those
medicines through which spirits
figure largely as restorative
agencies. Saur's Drug and
Medicine Depot harbors large
number of healing spirits which
can be purchased for a very
small sum of money and if used
according to directions will be
the means of relieving pain and
restoring the health Of the af-
ficted This same drug store
has many other things in which
it seeks to make itself useful
and to benefit mankind. The
book department furnishes the
provisions upon which hun
dreds OF brains are fed and are
thus kept alive and active. The
large stock of elegant patterns
of wall and window paper is
another medicine by which
many homes is made warm and
comfortable. Then, too, comes
the many different colored
paints which are not only a
great preservative agency, but
add to the beautiful as well,
tons of which is sold annually
and which gives employment to
thousands of people. This is a
branch of business IN which this
house also figures largely. Saur's
Drug and Book store seems to
be the depot Or store house in
which everything is kept which
can be found in any drug and
book house, at prices which
everybody will acknowledge to
be very low.

BITTEN By THE SNAKES.

Norwich Bullet.n.7

The old but very crude saying, "The old
cock crows and the young one learns, was
verified on Laurel Hill last week. The crowd,
the fog and the heat that made the Groton
centennial day an exceptional period among
the days of the last century, had hardly
passed away before the juveniles on
Laurel Bill avenue began to construct a
fort On tho high land near the school house.
After several days OF hard labor they had
built a rather formidable looking structure of
earth, rocks and plank, which in architectural
design seemed to be a cross between q rural
family ice house and an old-fashioned we'll
top. The boys residing on the hill we're at
once divided into British and American
troops, and the frequenters of the Yankee fort
stored the magazine with the fruit familisrly
known as windfalls, and sent cut their chal.

fought. It began with good natured repartee
and storms OF apples, but the youngsters who
represented the British foRnd that Dormesten
and rotten fruit had little effect on those be-
hind the ramparts, ard soon became enraged
and began an assault with stones, which was
hotly returned. The wells and flying missiles
excited the adults in the neighborhood as
mhch as 1t did the boys, and many we're the
Womanly protests against such work. But the
American blood was up and protests were Of
no use. lhe British advanced M the
