Caved Upon.

Pat O'Hara, miner working in the
Bullion mine, was nearly killed, yes
terday, by cave. Twelve hundred
pounds of galena ore let go from near
the reof of the drift in which O'Hara
was working, and before he could get
out of the way he was struck by the
mass of ore and knocked down. Some
workmen found him nearly helpless.
Pat at first believed he was ',kilt in
tiirey," but an examination of him
proved that no bones were broken,
and the druggist plastered the bruises
up and discharged him on his own
recognizance. Something should be
done to keep the ore from coming out
of the mine until the railroad arrives
TO carry it off.

4 REGRETTABLE OCCURRENCE.

Begging is disagreeable even to
the professional whose daily occupa-
ton it is to stand on the street corners
with outstretched palm. 1t is far
more repugnant to the business man,
used as he is to the rough ways of the
world. But it is superlatively so to
the woman who has been tendcrly
reared-and very few women of that
class can be induced to 90 out on the
highway or into stores or offices, on
charitable brands. When anv do
they are entitled to the best wishes
and kindest treatment of all with
whom they come in contact.
This has been so we'll understood
heretofore in this city, that the ladies
who have been compelled to go on
"begging' expeditions have had no
cause to complain Of their treatment.
But we regret to state that the ladies
who went out yesterday to solicit con-
tributions or donations for the fair to
be held in couple of weeks for the
benefit of the school library, met with
an experience which is quite unusual.
They went all along Main street, as
usual, and met with good success un-
til they got to the County Recorders
Office. Having made their errand
known to a red-fa"ed man, he replied,
gruffly: "Well, you have struck the
wrong man, in the wrong place."
The Recorders Office has been the
best paying in the Territory, for two
or three years, and the gross receipts
this year will not, we believe, fall
short of $4,000. 1t can therefore
hardly be deemed the wrong place to
go to, when on charitable mission.
But the mans words are not as OBJ
jectionable as his manner was, as this,
we are informed, was rude in The ex-
treme.
There can hardly be any excuse for
such ungentlemanly behavior; and we
hope that we will not again be called
upon to chronicle such an occurrence.
1t is necessary that some one should
60 on these so-called "begging''
tours, and those who do go should be
cordially received and courtecusly
treated.

The Wounded Bird Well.

The American eagle which was
mentioned sometime since as having
been wounded by rifle shot, carried
to the hills, and there fed daily by its
mate, has fully recovered. Thursday
last it was seen to take flight with its
companion and strike a course toward
the summit of the Sawtooth range.
The ranehmen state that the crippled
eagle was never neglected by its mate
during the month it was helpless.

the Democratic ticket is going to
Boise to give evidence. He says he

Death of John Rourke,

Many friends in this city will receive witt surprise mingled with regret intelligence ot the death of John Rourke, which occurred al late hour last night at his home, corner ot Bishop and State streets. About two weeks ago the deceased was taken down with what developed into an acute form of pneumonia which terminated fatally, though the best medical skill was summoned to his relief It was not at first thought that death would ensue, as it was hoped t1.at his vigorous con- stitution would enable him to fight off the fatal disease. Human skill was unavailable, however, and at late hour last night he breathed his last. MT. Rourke was well known in this city, where he had been for many years engaged in the liquor business, and by his uniformly pleasant and agreeable disposition rallied many friends about him, who will learn with deep sorrow of his un- timely death.

People have to be argued with, read with, and then all do not come within the range of the pastors desire
 Some are fed while somebody else is starved. Some want logical sermons; to others there is no attraction or vivacity in the preaching unless the minister points out the faults of other churches and creeds. What a task, then, is the office of the Christian minister, and yet there are sources of strength among the people that are appreciated by the pas tor. The prayers, sympathy and cooperation of those who have warm, loving hearts are of untold value. We are looking, the pastor said, to those fields of living green where we shall rest from our labors. Let us press forward till the great gates shall shut us ir to go out no moro forever.

Petition i'm Favor of Sergeant Mason.
 The following petition, which is already

numerously signed, is at Buffers hat store on Church street, for more names:
 To the President of the United States from the Citi
 zens of New Haven Conn.
 We, the undersigned, citizens of the United States believing that the sentence passed by court martial upon Sergeant Mason, for many years faithful sol d1er of the army, whose previous record had been unsued by breach of military discipline civil law, is unnecessarily and unwarranted by the circumstances surrounding the offence, respectfully petition the President of the United States that will take into consideration the previous record of the accused the doubt of his moral responsibility the time of the commission of the crime, and the great and universal indignation then and now felt and expressed by the American people against the assassin of President Garfield We therefore respect tuuy ask the President to relieve Sergeant Mason from any other further penalty than dismissal from
