Who Burned

Editor commercial:
Your correspondent will state here,
m the best authentic proof, that five
detailed Confederate soldiers applied
he torch to five different points ia the
city of Columbia. These five daring
boys were promised rewards by their
lleeing officers. They hitched their
horses on the outskirts, to Mr.. McGin-
nes' fence posts, Oh the Charlotte road,
md performed that which they bellcv-
ed to be their honest duty.
When this occurred your correspond
ent was standing on the balcony Of st.
Mary's College with Gen. Sherman and
the three brothers, prOprictOfs of the
college, priests and D. DIS.
Sherman raised his eyes toward the
unfinished capitol and exclaimed doc
tor, what smoke is that?" The old
priest answered: at is your men
General, firing our city" "Doctor, l
have given imperative orders to pro-
tect your city. Any of my men found
destroying property here have given
orders to have shot"
Two years afterwards l went to Col
umbia and sought i've prominent reb-
els, from whom TasCcrtained who did
do the burning. Three of the five reb-
eli boys, now men, are living at Pen
dleton, S. C., and are ready and will
ing to exonerate Gen. Sherman and his
meu from the political SANDERS some
newspaper reporters seem to sling
pgainstthcm, to the diseredit of the
journals they represent.

A Business Opening.

Hawthorne is as yet new place,
but it will probably in short time
have more saloons and hotels than it
can well support. 1t will also with
out doubt be over stocked with news
papers and meat shops. Gamblers
in swarms will be there, and in
fact almost everything which minis
tiers to mans passions, prejudices or
apetites. A stock broker is all that
is needed to complete the outfit and
make a thoroughly live town. One
of those who have failed on account
Of too much competition or private
speculation could take his experience
and bulletin board there and do well.
There will be large plumber of
travellers transferred from rail to
stage, and on energetic crier At the
depot might induce them to take a
niOble, as they pass through. The
business could be conducted some
what after the manner of hotels, that
is, transient customers could be
charged more for their stock than
regular dealers, and in this way a
nice little profit would be made in
addition to the regular commission.
As the country is lacking somewhat
in scenery, this would be a boon to
the travellers, as they would have
something better than sand and al
kali to think about, and in case of
the failure of the broker, if his Gus
toners were mostly OF the transient
class, he would have a much more
agreeable time while packing his
traps and getting out of town, as he
would not have to make explanations
aud promises to the bowling and
angry mob, always such a source of
annoyance to the unfortunate loser
of other peoples securities.

About Wood River.

w. H. Atkinson, who is now on
Wood River, writes as follows con-
corning that country to a gentleman
in this city:
HALEY, Idaho, April IS, 81.
DEAR SIR After four days rail-
reading and five days stageing, or l
should say wading through water
snow and mud, reached the Prom
Used Land.
Bellevue is the first town you
strike, and owing to this fact has the
start as a business point. There are
four town sites already laid out along
the river, and what bothers most is
to know which will be the central
point. They all have their respec-
tive groups of mines, and it rests
solely on developments to determine
which will be the place. HALEY,
situated about five miles s.bove Belle
vue, is town but lately started. The
first smelter will be erected two miles
from here, and they intend to have
it in operation in about thirty days.
The mines near this place are the
only ones doing anything. They
are working about go men in the
Bullion, Quinn and Idaho, aid have
out about 500 tons of ore. Ketchum,
the next place, about IL miles above
here, and Galena 20 miles above
Ketchun., are both laboring under
the press Of too much snow, and it
will be month or two before the
snow will! go off so that prospectors
can see the lodges. The only thing
in which l am disappointed is tim
Der. | expected to see immense
tracts covered with it, but it is very
scattering. There is no lumber to
be had, and it would sell readily for
800 per thousand, that is, at the
present time. Owing to the bad
state OF the roads provisions have
taken quite jump since have been
here. Flour has gone up from six
to nine dollars, however, that will
not last long, as there is plenty on
the road near here.
Take it on the whole, think ills
will be a good country. The min
eral belt is extensive; the climate is
fine, and grazing for stock is splen-
did. | would not advise anybody to
come here at present in the hope of
getting work, but for prospect
ors tbis is the country, and they
can't get here too soon.

Almost q Drowning.

Among those employed in taking
the wood out of tho river are two
men on raft, whose duty it is to
push the wood from the upper end
and far side, into the narrow channel
of running water above the elevator.
The current is very swift, and on
SUNDAY one end of the raft got I'M
der the wood and was gradually be-
ing turned over by the force of the
water. This made urgent business
for the occupants, as to be carried
under the wood meant drowning
without a possibility of escape.
Finding that a capsize of the raft
was certain, one of the men sprang
toward the shore, and by doing some
violent swimming managed to reach
dry land. The other man could not
swim, and having nothing else IN
particular to do just at that time,
hung on to the slippery raft, doubt
less thankful that it was not the straw
which is usually the last resort of a
drowning man. Fortunately the
channel was not wide at the point
where lie was, and board was thrown
across to him, which resting on the
wood supported him until he could
be rescued. His escape was by about
the thickness of tho plate of set of
false teeth.

N. & o. News.

The Board of Directors of the old
Nevada & Oregon Company met on
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock and
made deed of all their rights and
franchises, and property of every
kind to the new company, and ad-
journed. The books and papers
were released by General Hatch and
were taken possession of by the new
Board. Yesterday at noon Sturgeon
put on lot of carpenters to finish
the trestle works. More men will be
put to work to day. Knox is build
ing boarding house a mile from
town, and will put men to work i'm
mediately. The company will build
an Office somewhere near the track
at once.

Another Railroad.

The Mono Lake Railway Compa-
ny will run narrow gauge road to
Bodie from the timber regions south
of Mono Lake. The road will be
finished some time this Summer, and
will be little over 80 miles long.
It will be the crookedest of the
crooked roads in this State. On one
grade Z will be necessary, and
there will be so many loops and
short turns that the engineers will
be liable to lose their way ON dark
night aud run in the wrong direc
ton. Mr.. Yerington is the presid-
ing genius of the new road, and
will probably see that it is built as
substantially as the G. & c. 1t will
tap an immense timber region and
will simplify the wood business of
BodIe and Aurora.

Fire Near TT. Churchill.

The granary and dairy house of
John CARING, about four
miles below Fit. Churchill, were de-
stroyed by fire on Saturday after
noon. Mr.. CARING had his farming
implements stored in the building
and these together with fifty sacks
of barley were destroyed. The origin
of the fire cannot be accounted for,
as there was nobody known to be
about the building for some time
previous. The loss is about 5000,
upon which there is no insurance.

The Spring Opening.

On last Sunday the sun came out
bright and warm, the wind following
the example Of the grocery clerks of
Virginia, had laid off for a day of
rest, and the day was so pleasant
that two of our citizens concluded
to give Spring tair start according
to the custom of the coast since the
days of Forty nine. They met in
Randall's Hay yard and kicked cuff
ed and checked each other for a
short time, but as the fight was more
a matter Of form than the result of
deadly feud, the consequences
were not serious to either. The diff
ficulty was arranged next day, and
they are again on friendly terms !;
Dayton in the meantime rejoicing in
balmy Spring and irregular record.

The Bull Butter Scare-HOw 1t
Will Be Removed.

VIII Dc hcMUN6us
Heretofore Dayton has been an
Indifferent spectator of the oleomar-
garine troubles of other local. ties,
but lately inquisitivc and suspicious
shifts are made at the two-pound
rolls offered for sale, and surmIses as
to the male or female origin Of the
same are cautiously made.
AS it is said that the bull butter
can be made in such close immita-
ton of the genuine article that even
experts are deceived, assurances by
the salesman as to the purity and
general good character of the COM
modify, although known to be made
in good faith, fail to satisfy. One Of
our principal DEALERS in country pro-
duce is now making arrangements
for having the buttermilk brought in
with the butter. Having the butter
milk on hand he will be able to
prove conclusively by occular dem.
onstration that his wares are what
they profess to be. Virginia, Reno,
Truckee and Carson need not suffer,
even if they do have to handle the
butter knife little carefully, as they
are supplied with clear mountain
water, md butter should be used
sparingly by the fortunate inhabit-
ants, as it is not needed to promote
the economical working of the HUI
man machine, in fact is liable to in
jure digestion; but Dayton is sup
piled with water which contains
more or less alkali, and should oleo-
margarine become epidemic-so to
speak-great iDconveniencies might
arise, as persons subsisting upon
diet tinctured with potash, soda and
other alkaline salts indigenous to our
soil, need to take a certain amount of
greasy substance into the stomach
at each meal to lubricate the lining
membrane and keep the digestive
apparatus working smoothly. Fresh
cows butter answers this purpose
completely. and is therefore desir-
able component of every repast. 1t
also combines with the alkali in the
water, forming sort of soap, which
no doubt greatly assists in washing
down the food. For these reasons
we need good butter, and we also
need confidence that it is good, for
comfortable state of mind during
the process of eating is one of the
requisites for the proper assimilation
of the food. Unpleasant doubts as
to the nature of the article would by
affecting the action of the nervous
system neutralize the chemical effects
of the oily edible, and the device of
our enterprising merchant merits the
grateful consideration of his patrons.
In cases where absolute certainty
cannot be attained, total abstinence
from butter might be practiced, and
the fatty matter needed in the sys-
tenn supplied by taking a spoonful
OF oil after eating, but it would be

A Patent Wood Cart.

r. d. Cameron wants to make
hard work as easy as possible, and is
now using a wood cart which re-
ceives the wood from his elevator
and dumps it at the pile, thus saving
one handling. The cart res embles,
when loaded, a common dump cart
with high side frames, and holds
nearly cord Of wood. The shafts,
however, are connected with the
body by hinges, and when dumped
their latter ends go up, while the
body Of the cart falls back, and the
whole thing looks as though it had
been turned inside out, and broken
to pieces. The wood falls out as
the horse moves forward, and the
awkward looking vehicle comes to-
gether again, and once more is APP
parently an innocent old fashioned
dump cart, with side board attach
ment.
