When the Chicago passenger
on the Northwestern road, which is
due N Alton at .t5, arrived at the
station one night last week, the con
ductor found a basket on the rear
platform of the train, which contain
ed an aud .essed baby which appear
ed to be only u few hours old. 1t
was alive and appeared TO be in a
healthy condition. The infant was
left at the home of Mr. llittmau,
station agent mt Alton. The mother
of the child is unknown, but it is
supposed that the basket was placed
ON the train at Beloit,-E Er
The ooroner's jury which was
impanelled to enquire into the facts
regarding the death of the baby that
was found in the river Two weeks
ago, have rendered their verdict and
been discharged From the testi-
mony it appeared that the child was
born at North Freedom, Crawford
county, about the first Of March, and
when thirteen days old the mother
and grandmother of the child, with
male attendant, started overland
for this city. The child was not
well, and the night the party reach
ed Fenuimore, Grant county, it died.
No one but those Immediately inter
ested knew of the baby's death, and
the next morning the journey to-
wards this city was renewed. On
their arrival here, in order to cover
the mothers shame aud to shield
themselves, as they thought, from
the law, the infant was put in box
and sunk in the river, where il vas
found by Mr.. j. NJ. Baker These
facts are borne out by the dates
given by the mother. According to
testimony given by parties interest
ed, the the child was terribly de-
formed and it clung TO life by very
slender thread, which breath would
sever. But the post mortem exam
ination Of the body by physicians
developed the fact that the child
was perfectly healthy aud well form
ed. There was no evidence to show
that the baby came to its death
through criminal means consequent
ly no one was held responsible for
its eath.--DorIia0t0a Dsalocrat.

DR.. Andrew Mcfarland, the Republican

There passes through Los Angeles from
day to day II new species of merchandise fol
this part of the country. The goods consist
of frogs, TINT are caught at Ariyaca and Cal
abasas In Arizona. The frogs are ut present
sent to san Francisco, but will probably be
soon left In Los Angeles for our epicures. un
less our land owners start frog ponds, which
they can easily do
The cultivation or breeding OF frogs il a
very easy matter, and costs nothing but a
pond with reeds aud PUSHES and an occ A.
sional pond lily, that will come without
planting, and like the frog, will board them
selves, The cheapest crop tn raise Ii u crop
of frogs. All that Is needed Is n little land
and pond The frogs usually come with
out asking and come tip stay az long rs the
water holds out When the water fails they
skip the town.
In the vicinity OF Compton and Florence
the proprietors of the great flowing wells OF
that neighborhood can establish boarding
eouses for frogs at triting cost and make
millions out Of the operation, The disap
pearance of the great tlocks and herds Of Los
Angeles calls for some substitute for mutton
and beef, and the substitute can be found In
frogs and carp, which can be produced in
unlimited quantities in our artesian locali-
ties, where the frog and the fish grow togeth-
er In peace and multiply at an astonishing
rate. This frog growing industry is desery-
ing of serious attention.

opening up of a fine body of ore assaying
from $50 10 81 900 per ton. II has been de
clared by some experienced miners the best
promised in the district. The pay streak is uni

II will require further development TO prove
the extent Of the ore deposit. There have
been several rich strikes recently made upon
this mine, and there is a chance that it will
become the mine of the district The part

mine are DIR. d. J. Evans, Of this place, and
Mr.. J, h. Osborne, who own one-half inter
