The Philadelphia Times notices the
losses Of Colonel Forney while Secretary
of the United States Senate, of which
the public generally were ignorant, and
urges that Congress should reimburse his
family for the money stolen from the
Government by his financial clerk while
Mr.. Forney was Secretary of the Senate,
and which he made good out of his own
pocket, putting mortgage on his prop
erty to enable him to do so. The facts,
as they have heretofore been given to the
public and are now repeated by the
Times, are briefly these: Mr.. Wagner,
the defaulting clerk, when appointed by
Colonel Forney, was of advanced age and
blameless habits, who went into specula-
tions, lost, and to cover his losses used
the money entrusted to his care to the
amount OF S35, 4S6. He surrendered his
property to Colonel Forney, on which the
latter realized $7,S02, leaving a balance
as above stated.

CosT OF MINING PATENT About
every other day, says the Eureka Sen
tinel, the question is asked: "How much
does it cost to obtain PATENT" We will
assume that the required $500 worth of
labor has been expended upon the mine
and proceed to answer as near as may be
as follows: The advance fee for office
work in the United States Surveyor Gen.
erals Office in San Francisco on each and
every claim is $40. The fees of the
Deputy Mineral Surveyor may be aver
aged at 500. Such would be the charge
for surveying single claim, or it might
be reduced one-half where there are sew
eral to make in one locality. We believe
such charges is made on the basis of 500
per day. The fees of the Register and
Receiver of the local Land Office amount
to $40, the cost of advertising will aver
age, say $40, depending entirely upon
the length of the description, which may
be long or concise. The cost of posting
notices on the mine and the affidavts of
witnesses may be set down at 500. In
most cases an attorney will have to be
employed, whose fees should not be more
than 500 for all clerical work. Then
add the final Government charge for the
land at S. per acre for quartz claim.
One Of l500x600 feet contains fraction
over twenty-one acres, and consequently
costs say Sl07. Thus we have the sum
of S4l7 as a fair and average estimate Of
the cost of securing Government patent,
perfect title to full-sized quartz claim.

CAMP GROUND, Aug 81.
Rev. E. Martin of Hallowell. preached at
the stand this morning, his text beirg, "What
is the Almighty that we should serve him:
and what profit should we have if We pray
unto him?" The speaker regarded prayer as
a privilege as well as duty. privilege,
indeed above all other privileges and above
all price If any desire to know what we
regard as prayer, it is simply making known
our requests unto God. The Lords Prayer
is familiar to all, it is a model in brevity.
simplicity and earnestness. A sincere prayer
is not necessarily long or loud. We may
pray earnestly yet silently. The speaker
considered family and public prayer at some
length, presenting substantial reasons for the
custom among protesting Christians. Is there
power in prayer? II should say, said the
speaker, if was to answer according to my
candid judgement, that there is an almighty
power in PRAYER" We must do exactly what
God SAYS in order to be blessed. In answer
to prayer the darkest clouds Of national
calamity have Deen turned away. Mr..
Martin cited the instance of Daniel (fOund
in scripture) whose prayer changed the re-
ligious character of a whole kingdom.
In the afternoon a discourse was delivered
by Rev. Thomas Tyrie of Auburn, from
Ephesians, s'Of whom the whole family in
Heaven and earth are named" The sermon
was an able analysis of the spiritual rela tom
ships which men bear to God and to each
other.
