An ATTRACTIVE JAIL.-The following
L ~

An ATTRACTIVE JAIL.-The following is
from the Dixon Tribune of February 5th :
A man who gave the name of Edward
Powell was sent to the County Jail from
here, Monday, for twenty days, and when
he arrived there it was found that he had
been in twice before, during the month of
January, and each time under different
name. He was discharged the second time
last week Friday, and the same day stole a
ride on the train to Dixon, and immedi-
ately applied to the night Waterman to
make some charge against him and lock
him up. As the man had done nothing to
deserve arrest, the night Waterman re-
fused, although the fellow generously Of
fered, if brought in presence of Justice,
to swear and curse SO hard that he would
have to be sent to Jail for profanity if
othing else. At last he asked despair
ingly, "What must do to be arrested ?"
''Get drunk, /" said the officer, and few
hours afterwards he found the fellow on
the street in state of beastly intoxication,
he having begged the money with which to
buy liquor and qualify himself for the

BROKEN BRIDGE.
Drowning of Sheep and Narrow Escape of
their Driver.
Nevada Transcript, February 9Th.

Nevada Transcript, February 6thl
John Ray, who arrived in this city night
before last with drove of sheep for the
slaughter-house of II. Sprung, had mar
row escape from losing his life, and also all
of the stock. Upon arriving at the wire
bridge at McCourtney's crossing, on Bear
river, short distance this side of Sheri-
dan, he hitched his horse on the other side
of the stream and proceeded to drive the
animals across. All of them, to the num-
Der of four or FIVE hundred, got on the
bridge, Mr.. Ray being close behind them.
One of the cables began to crack, frighten-
ing the animals and causing those that had
crossed to turn back and join those near
the center of the structure. A moment
more, and the strands of one of the main
cables parted, depositing the driver and all
the sheep in the furious current. The
former managed to swim out, but about
one hundred of the sheep became exhausted
before reaching land and were drowned.
The remaining stock arrived here all right
night before last. The bridge was esti-
mated to have been worth about $1,000.

New YORK, February 6th.-The depth of

the Department of Public Works orders that
the consumption shall not exceed the supply
of the aqueduct. The Croton river is only
running about $4,000, 900 gallons daily, max

from the storage reservoirs. The Water In

At the same time sickness increases.

Concerning Funeral Flowers.

Permit me to occupy space enough in your
valuable paper to enter protest regarding the
manner in which floral decorations are used, or
more properly speaking, misused at funerals
friend Of the deceased may wish, as is very Of
ten the case to pay some lasting tribute of afrec-
ton to the memory of him 'whose mortality
has been swallowed up in life," by Offering to
the beTeaved family bouquet of flowers
Hastily gotten up, and for which the donor vol
UNFAIRLY dispensed with a considerable sum. 1t
is both painful and repugnant TO the feelings of
the gver and receiver to be compelled to re-
main silent witness to the utter destruction
i'm majority of instances. OF these tokens of
esteem by those having the immediate charge
of the funeral. Long before the corpse is de-
posted in its last earthly resting place these
ernblemS of love are so roughly dealt with as to
become objects of rdicule rather than souvenirs
of friendship. 1t is, by far Oftener the rule
than the exception that the family of the de-
ceased would gladly undergo the additional
expense OF having these floral presentations
WaXed. both out of sense of respect for the
departed and likewise to give the donor to un-
derstand that his gift, to say the least of it. has
been appreciated. But if these tokens, to re-
fresh the memory, be noticed when they return
to the bosom of the family, it would be any
thing but a difficult matter to quickly decide
upon their destination. They are invariably in
such miserable condition as to be absolutely
unfit for anything, if We except the garbage box.
The immediate cause OF all this loss and irrev-
erence is that the generality of hearses are by
lar too low to permit of anything save the coffin.
AND where there are flowers of any value-they
are all valuable if we Judge the intention of the
giver-they should, in my humble estimation.
be placed in the hack with the pall-bearers
When the graveyard is reached, the pail
bearers can conveniently carry them along with
them to be placed on the coffin in their process
sion to the grave. If the above were adhered
to, am inclined to think there would evidently
be less destruction Of property worth presery-
ina and also an increased dimnution in the
wounding of feelings. Instead, however of
this being done. in the majority Of cases the
flowers are indiscriminateiy cramnfed into a
space scarcely sufficient To contain the coffin
