PROCLAMATION.


A Voice from the spirit World
Whereas. the air is heavy with ominouI
rumor and constantly vibrating murmur,
Of coming and past events and whereas
it is not desirable to have too much bust
ness accumulate, I think it time tina
something should be done, and I therefore
issue this proclamation for the guidance Of
all well disposed subjects. 1t is with the
greatest alarm that / recognize the fact,
that the pulpit Of the Presbyterian Church
Is vacant, and that ii becomes my duty to
I'LL it. l have meditated long on the
question, as /, the proper person to ap-
point, and have after due deliberation con-
cluded that it would be best to extend 90
call to Mr.. Beecher Of Brooklyn, and il
he refuses, Mr.. Horn can run it himself.
/ give Mr.. Gallagher credit for trying or
attempting to try to tell some truth. What
he did say is convincing proof that he did
not say all he thought, and therefore he
fell by the wayside, and can only be recoe-
nized as q moth with vain desire is shriy-
elled in a fruitless fire." and subserves no
others gain.
Mr.. Ladd's effort, although deserving OF
notice, is unworthy Of thought. His effort
Is conspicuous in nothing, except a square
blank failure. / admire his character on
account Of his sorrow for Gallagher, and
am a little surprised at the startling asser-
ton that he has read an encyclopedias.
My reasons are that what can be found
therein is not discussed very much in the
Bible. These men are more subjects Of
pity than blame, and I am satisfied that
their silence in the future will be more &C.
ceptable than their efforts in behalf Of
souls.
The county officers of Eureka County
deserve more than a passing notice. In
the first place the last Grand Jury were q
set OF very ordinary statesmen, and did
not give entire satisfaction-for o Grand
Jury to fulfill their duty properly, they
must find out something to be a fact which
does not actually exist-this makes q good
report at least.
1t is truly gratifying, however, to know
that Eureka county has a County Board
equal to any emergency. The lawyers
used to tell me when / was on earth that
their powers were special and limited, but
l find out at this distance that such is not
the case ; therefore / consider it my duty
to make it known that hereafter the Board
will conduct everything connected with
the Sheriff g Office. and if they deem it ad-
visable to put Matt Kyle in Jail, in case he
is in the least refractory, they will do it
the fact is that the County Board have
more authority than what some people
suppose. While on earth / used to trem-
BILE at the thought. If l had the power l
would appoint an expert to look over their
books. There is q man down in . place
called Reno, in the State of Nevada-his
is unfamiliar to me /; 1 have heard it
only in derision, and cannot
now recall it. He took occasion to have
printed in q paper (so-called) something
In regard to a certain case now pending in
the Court at Eureka in regard to the Sal
airy law. Since reading what he said and
to be published I think that the
State will save q little mileage, at least, in
building an asylum at Reno for tho unfor-
tunate. His case is too hopeless for the
Infirmary to ever attempt . cure.
l would advise the next Legislature TO
pass a law to the effect that if q man did
not earn $120 in q month, that any man
who sued him should make up any de-
in the first instance, and il 10
not able to do 30, that the County
Board will and must do it. This is some
thing which the late Legislature evidently
think that Captain Hubbard is rather
heavy for Foley's horse, SO l will there
fore condemn the horse as unfit for active
service. No reflection on the quality Of
Charley Broy's barley is intended. I men
ton this only to avoid possible miscon-
struction.
1 have examined Bakers abstract OF ii.
tie to the frog pond. and find it correct.
The increase Of fish, however. justi6es the
Of q commissioner for the
end-this is only q suggestion, and l
think that Zelie or Hickock would be
proper persons to fill the place.
