REV. E. PRATT'S SERMON YESlER.
DAY.
another Year in which TO Rcpent-How
to Lead a Christian Life.

The Rev. +. Pratt gave a New
Years sermon yesterday, taking as a
text the parable OF the barren flo tree,
Lake MI, 60.
After giving the circumstances sur
rounding the parable he spoke Of re-
p"ntance as tie beginning of Chris
tlan life. This is not a few words of
rcinorse at wrong done, but more a
confession Of sorrow accompanied bv
works. Old wrongs must be rirhted.
III gotten gains restored. Some men
can never lead Il Christian life or be
animated by Christian life for the
reason that they gained fortune I'M
rl9hteously, or are pursuing dishonest
methods Of business with determin-
alton to cling to them.
The next step in Christian life is
the showing forth of the spirit and
character of Christ in every action.
AS fruit bearing is spontaneous in the
tree, so is the life of a Christian fruit
bearing in a natural and spontaneous
action whe.o His spirit dweils.
OF all sin the words '.Cut 1t Down"
have been spoken; the Intercessor
pleads mercy and one year more that
by the enriching Of His spirit there
may yet be some fruit. The grand
purpose in every mans life is fruit
bearing, good W rks. Gods plan
must not be disappointed. There is
yet one year more in which to fulfill
His plan.

THE HOLLAND COMPANY.
A Strong Troupe--Last SATURDAYS Per.
for mance--1he Programme for This,
To- Morrow, and Wednesday Evening.

A packed audience greeted the
Holland Company on its first appear
ance in Haley Theater, last Saturday
evening. in sour American Cousin
The audience had come to see a good
play, performed by a good con parry,
and they were not disappointed.
Tie Holland Comedy Compan,
is beyond question the strong
est Theatrical troupe that has yet Wis
tied us; and we doubt il a town of this
SIZE has ever been thus distinguished
before. The play ran with smooth.
ness and precision entiel y unknown in
this city before. This was probably
wing to the fact that the repertoire
OF the company is not very extensive,
and does not probably, exceed four
plays; this being the case, and the
company having been some time on
the road, the members have sot SO
used to their parts that tVey can even
get along without prompter.
The management made mistake,
however, in cutting Dundrearv's part.
Any other character in the play could
have been curtailed with less fear of
detection. The tableau at the end OF
the second act was a fzzle that, with
a more eXacting audience, would have
damned the company. Shorty before,
Lord Dundresry had informed the
American Cousin that it was long past
midnight, and that everybody had
been abed for hours; yet when the
entire household invaded the room
they are dressed in fautless evening
costume! The troupe could surely
have borrowed few night gowns
from mine host Van Ness, if they are
so unfortunate as not to be provided
with some.
The orchestra also left great deal
to be desired. The piano used has
been good; but it is now quite aged;
has been through at least one fir. in
HALEY; been thumped by quite IA
number OF vi gorous FOUNDERS, gener-
ally. 1t should be given a rest, at
least when operate selections are t.
be rendered. The violinist of the
troupe is, however, quite excellent,
and somewhat redeemed the torches
ira"
1t may be thought that we are ex-
acting; but the fact is, we are stupid
enough to believe that when we paw
$l.?5 for seat we are entitled to a
reasonably fair "show," especially
when the fault lies with the laziness
of the 'ronre and the neglect of the
management.
This evening Dion Boncicault's
greatest procuction-"Led Astrav'
which is one of the most power
fully emotional dramas of the day.
AS 80 seats had been reserved by 3
O'Clock this afternoon, tine house will
undou otedly be crowded.
Tomorrow the play will be "Pink
Domlnoes, which abounds with spark
ling dialogue, double entendres, and
naughty situations.
"Wednesday evening Money!" fol-
lowed by dance, in which all who
bny reserved seat tickets will be en-.
titled to participate.

FRESH TRUOT FROM SILVER CREEK
Bari. Maize Almost Ready to Keep the
HALEY Market Supplied.

ii. Is c'Bart.'') Maize came in last
Saturday with a basketful of fine.
large speckled trout which he seined
out of his pond, on Silver creek. Some
weighed as much as two pounds. This
Is the first time, since last June. chat
Mr.. Maize has tried the fish in his
pond; and as they are sufficiently
large to sell well, he will berin to
keep the Haley market supplied with
fresh fish. When lie gets to doing
business regularly, he will send up a
days supply Of fish to Haley every
morning, on the train.
The carp which nc received from
the Fish Commissioner some weeks
ago are doing excellently, Mr.. Maize
says, and in a few months he can be-
gin supplying carp also. He does not
fear but what he can keep the market
supplied, as he gets two years growth
in one by feeding, and, the fish being
undisturbei, increase and multiply
much NOR rapidly than they would
even in their native streams.

A Miners Inch Of Water,

Many person, do not know the
quantity of water meant when a
miners inch is named. In the early
placer mining days of California, when
water was scarce or difficult to get, a
miners inch was the quantity that
would pass through an orltce an inch
square, with fourinch pressnre-or
a flow of about $3.50 gallons per hour.
Later on, the quantity was changed
to what would flow through the same
orihce, but with IA six-inch pressure
or flow Of about 100 gallons per
hour.

That Is the Amount Paid by Alturas
County to the Territory for the Last
Quarter.

County Treasurer, transmitted to 'he
Territorial Treasurer at Boise, the sum
OF ST, 1oS. 19-the same beirg the Ter
ritory's proportion of the revenues of
Alturas county for the quarter ending
December IS, 1888. The sources
from which tie sum aforementioned
has been derived, are as follows:
Property tax Of 1888, e5,16942; de-
llnquent tax Of 1888, $250.29: delin-
quent tax Of 1882, 1921; 81 poll

money, apportioniny it to the Terri
tory, etc, amounts to S43l no. This
