In cities Of rapid growth and much street

The Henry Willard Mining Company
has adopted q wise policy in placing that
portion of their capital stock that is set
apart for sale-a policy that would not
fail to benefit all mining sections where
adopted. It is to allow holders of a

stock to have the use of sluice-heads OF
water at minimum rates per inch, and
also gravel claims Of their own selection
at low rental rates. Under the rule only
80 inches will DO allowed to the individu-
al, and not to exceed so inches to an as

demanded when the company has sur
plus to spare; but as their bitches and

it is believed a considerable quantity can
be spared for those who wish to work
ground independently. Messrs. Glidden
and Batchelder, now in town on court
business, who have been mining for sew

We received q call from one Of our
old farmers on Monday and were remind
ed Of good joke told on him few years
ago, when the grasshoppers had laid
waste many Of our farms. During that
year our old friend gathered good crop,
the first for several seasons, and while
the harvest was progressing a good and
pious Methodist clergyman was guest
at his house, who ventured to ask him
how it happened that he had such good
crop, while his neighbors had lost theirs
He said that when he saw the grasshop-
pers coming he went into the house and
offered up ferventpray to the Throne
of Almighty grace, that he might be
spared, that he needed something for the
support of his family, that he had been
unfortunate in past years and should he
now suffer, his wife and little ones would
be thrown on the charities of the world.
His prayer was answered and the grass
hoppes did not touch his field. Our
pious clergyman's face lighted up with
the hope that he had come across sec
ond Elijah, who could testify to the eff
cAcy Of prayer. He felt his heart warm
towards this faithful believer, and in the
course of the conversation asked If any
Of his neighbors were Christians. Yes,
all Of them belong to some church. Well
no doubt they prayed also that they
might be spared. How does it happen
that you were spared and they suhered7
