The time of the court last week was oc-
cupied until Saturday morning in hearing
Grimm al cases. The attendance all through
the week was very large, and most of the
time there was standing room only. The
Inconvenience of the new seats became
painfully apparent. They are too close
together, and it is almost impossible for
any one sitting in an inside seat to get out.
To be sure the seats turn up, and If
everybody understood this and would arise
and turn the seat back as intended, the
difficulty would be avoided, but If a man
happens to be sitting on the middle seat OF
row it is asking good deal to expect six
people to get up every time the middle
man wants to go out. For ordinary pur-
poses there would be enough seats If one or
two rows were removed and the balance
set further apart so as to leave passing
room between the rows. The chairs are
very comfortable. and the suggestion made
above would obviate the unpleasantness OF
having toes trod on, and your knees
squeezed out of shape every time any one
attempts to pass you.

PHILADELPHIA. Monday, Feb. ID, 1855.
Concerning Linens.
We think it wise to tell some
thing special about Linens.
Three main facts about them
we want widely known
First-We probably sell more
housekeeping Linens than any
other house in America. We
gather them by personal search
all over Europe. We buy at
the least prices and bring the
goods from points of production
with every possible economy.
A small commission is our only
net profit, and the retail trade
gets the full benefit Of all our
facilities.
Second-Some prices quoted
here are speculative, some reg.
ular; but a matching Of goods
with prices in the whole retail
market will bring the decision
in our favor.
Third-With us Linen is
Linen. Jute or cotton we dc
not sell for Linen.

A remedy for neuralgia comes from a
physician in Germany, and the opinion of
several eminent physicians is that 1t has
scientific basis, and cannot in any case do
the least harm. Get unroasted coffee ber-
RES, of best quality, Java or Mocha, and
get but small quantity at time, as they
should he as fresh as possible. At night
put a tablespoonful Of the berries in cup,
ill the cup with boiling water, and cover it
tightly Drink the water in the morning
as soon as you wake. This must be taken
regularly for six weeks In order effect a
cure for chronic cases In acute attacks
this beverage can be taken three times a
day if necessary Persons who cannot or
dinariy drink coffee, need not fear to try
this, as the effect is entirely different from
that Of the roasted berry.

There was change in the management
of two of the Benton Hotels last week We'd
nesday. Mrs. Hess retired from the Ex-
change Hotel, house which her husband
kept for many years, and for which he
built up, with her assistance, reputation
second to no country tavern in the county.
The patrons of the house will miss Mrs.
Hess, and her celebrated ''chickeu and
buck wheat cakes" But the place passes
into good hands, and the reputation OF the
Exchange will be fully sustained by Lem
uel Drake, the new landlord. He has kept
the Ikeler house known as the Benton
Hotel, for some years, and he knows how
to run hotel. The table will be kept fully
up to the standard, and LENS friends will
find him the genial host he has ever been.
The house kept bv Mr. Drake has been
transferred TOE P. Albertson, who, although
new to the business, has many friends and
possesses the necessary qualifications to
make popular and successful landlord.

Last Saturday morning, under or
ders from Supt. Carothers, the Argus
series of mines were closed down and
all hands discharged. The following
day Mr.. Underhil came up and paid
off. As the order came unexpected,
even to Mr.. Underhill, who represents
the Eastern owners or fve-eighths of
the property, it looks as if Mr.. Car
others used an arbitrary power and
one he certainly cannot revoke, as we
learn he was anxious to do the next
day. To US his action looks like
"killing the goose that layed the gold
en- egg" for himself as we'll as many
others. His action is still more strange
in view of the fact that the mine is
looking better now than at any time
within the past six months.
Since the company commenced OPP
erations here four years ago they have
taken out nearly million dollars
gross, with the crudest of working APP
pliances and management more
tickle and changable than the lunar
phases. 1t is true that this vast amount
of money was spent in working the
property and paying for it, and little
if any of it found its way into the
owners pockets. AS it is a private COM
pany, that always promptly met its
obligations, neither the press nor pub
lie had any right to criticise its mode
of operation, and we have refrained
from doing so.
The Argus mines. after four years
work, have been barely scratched, Ger
tainly not prospected, and all the in
dications point to extensive mineral
deposits that when economically ex-
tracted will keep their mill running
for score of years to come.
How long this property will remain
idle, no one here knows. That will
altogether depend on what course the
Eastern owners will pursue. Mr.. Un-
derhil has written for instructions.
aud by the LIST of August the problem
will be solved whether work will be
resumed or not. We earnestly hope
il will, and under more stable manage
mcnt than in the past.

Natural Gas.

John Harrison, in boring for water
on bis ranch near Lovelocks, struck a
vein of natural gas, which rose through
the we'll with considerable force, and
burned with bright flame. As the
espaping gas made a disagreable
noise, he filed the we'll. The ground
is thoroughly impregnated with the
gas, aud he thinks there is a large
volume of it. He believes he can
utilize it in running machinery to
pump water from slough for irriga-
ting purposes. Silver State.

ARRESTED FOR ARSON.


sequel Of aRecent TuscnrOra Fire.
Many of our readers will know a
certain notorious woman (Mrs. Mikel.
Dobson) who lived in Silver Canyon
and at Jake's Station several years ago.
She drlfted up to Tuscarora and mar
ried man named Culver, an infuen-
tial citizen and well off. But it seems
the demon that was IN her would not
down, and the rest of the story is thus
told by the Tuscarora Times Review.
Upon the arrival of the stage last
evening, Officer j. M. Natter, who
was In waiting, served warrant of
arrest upon one of the passengers,
Mrs. Frank Culver, and took her into
custody. The complaint charges the
prisoner with the crime or arson COM
United in this place on the morning
of June 1st last, in maliciousty setting
fire to the dwelling occupied by her
self and husband, endangering the
property of neighbors adjoining as
well as the entire town. The complaint
was made by prominent citizen and
meets the approval of the entire COM
mnnity' Fortunately, at the time the
alleged crime was committed, the flames
were confined to the premises of the
accused, and extinguished before any
great amount of damage was do ne
the loss amounting to perhaps couple
of hundred dollars. Damaging rumors
were afloat at the time of the occur
renee and an investigation was about
to be held, but was withheld at re-
quest of friends of the husband who
desired to avoid the notoriety which
such investigation would evoke. Dur
ing the day succeeding the fire, arti-
cles of separation we're drawn up and
signed by the parties before Justice
Hillman, the wife agreeing to leave
town the next day ard remain away.
The above is brief history of the
case, and as the accused has deemed
it fit to return and brave public opin-
ion her arrest promptly followed. but
whether sufficient positive evidence
can be obtained to hold her upon that
charge remains to be seen. Time was
granted for the accused to procure a
lawyer for the defense, as well as for
the State to be represented in Ecourt
by the District Attorney. The exam
ination is set for next Wednesday, end
meanwhile the prisoner is at liberty
upon bail of So 900, with her husband
and A. B. Waller as sureties.
