STEVE PIERCE, of Payette, was kick
ed on the ankle by a horse a week or
ten days ago. He didn't suffer much
inconvenience with it until few
days ago, while on the way up here.
The ankle began to pain him severe
" and he was compelled to stop at
Twelve-Mile House, on Shafer creek.
It was feared for awhile that the pain,
being so excruciating, would bring
on lock jaw. Mr.. Pierce came on in
Sunday with Mr.. Sisk and family.

THE Bellevue Chronicle fires sew
eral heavy volleys Of red hot shot at
the Alturas county grand jury. Among
other things the Chronicle says: "Ihe
report bears on its face the stamp of

ument gives one the impression that
its trainers were either cowed by cor

they lacked unanimity of purpose

would not or could not take cogniz-
ance of some of the most glazing Vi
olations of law ever demanding the
attention of like body. Besides its
whitewashing tendencies the report
contains several inaccuracies. 1t is
an unheard Of proceeding to repri-
mand county officials in lieu of legal
penalty. They were either guilty Of
crime or not guilty. They further
say the officials whom they have founc
guilty of unlawfully appropriatins

their predecessors" This is not true
in any sense, and we challenge sin

ex-officials have not made their &C
counts good" and recommend tina

young man got more ardent than was
seemingly, MS the flip went round, for
the girl to put her thumb over the end
of the tube and stop the flow of soul!
Did the young man bring his stick and
so announce his intention, or did the
young lady always keep one or a pair on
hand; and so reveal both willingness
and expectationp 1t was much more
convenient than the telephone, with
its ''hello" and proclamation to all lis
teners at the end of the line. Lovers
can make love with anything, even
with a telephone, the successful court
ing of deaf person (for there is one
word that nearly every one likes to
hear) as we know, can go on through
a speaking trumpet; but these counting
sticks seem to us the ne plus ultra of
tender communications-when third
party is present. They would be very
useful now at large parties, where there
is such din and babble that one can
only court a pretty girl at the risk of
bronchitis or laryngitis. Sometimes in
the jam you cannot get near the girl;
but with long courting stick you could
vile her away from her too ardent adj
mirer. This invention seems to us
worthy of revival for many reasons,
and we should be glad of any further
information in regard to it. Civiliza-
ton in its progress drops good many
things that ought to be retained.

Index of Character.

The fashionable world judges men
and women by the cut of their gar
ments and the manner in which they
wear them. In like manner the status
of farmer may be told by the appear
ance of his farm and appendages.
Neatness without as well as within
the house, neatness in the field, the
garden and the house yard, straight
we'll built fences and clean fence cor
ners, always give an air of thrift and
prosperity, and add materially to the
market value of the farm, and all in
dicate the standing and responsibility
of the owner or Occupier. Straight,
drills in the wheat field, straight rows
of corn, right angles among the orchard
trees, all indicate sound morals in the
man who manages them, and straight
character in his dealings with his fel-
low men. As rule, his word is as
good as his bond, and his bond no bet
ter than his promise to act or pay.
On the other hand, ,untidy surroundings,
lack of taste in location and keeping
Of the house and outhouses, want of
shade trees and flowers about the
dwelling, dilapidated fences around the
yard and fields, unsightly brambles and
briars in the cultivated grounds a
thousand and one uncanny little things
on the farm, indicate want of culture
in the owner and crookedness in his
general actions, even when there are
moral convictions in his sentiments.
He goes wrong in his actions even
when he desires to do that which is
right and true. Nature has had him
wrongly set up, or else he has been
wrongly brought up, and in either case
he goes wrong from habit. or from
failure to think Alright. He that has
habits of neatness, therefore, should
guard his steps that he may keep in the
right, while he that has habits of neg
ligence, which beget unthrift, should
endeavor to Nmend appearances around
him, and these will amend his action
in other affairs. Order is Heavens
first law.
