Press from Belgrade, Mont, where ii il sail
a German laborer in the employ of faimyt

A YOUNG WoMAN's PERIL.-On Sunday
an accident occurred ut Forest Rancho which
for its lucky results reflects credit On the
bravery of gallant young man and saved a
young lady from meeting terrible death by
being dashed on the rocks, two hundred feet
below, ia Chico Canyon. Sunday afternoon
party of young Iadies aud gentlemen from
Chico, who were visiting friends at For
est Ranch, were out on the bluffs just above
tho house, and among them was young
Eastern lady, Miss Mona Ratclih, OF
Greenville, o. They were standing on the
edge of the bluffs, which at this place are
about 200 feet high, aud from where they
shelved outward and down for about thirty
feet. and then abruptly broke into per-
pepdcular fall to the bottom of the canyon.
Miss Ratclff was out on the extreme edge
peerng over when her foothold gave way.
She grasped the edge of the rocks, but could
not stop herself, and began rapidly falling
to what her companions thought terrible
death. She rolled as far as the shelf OF the
rocks, when her dress caught, and she hung
there over the yawning gulf, almost 200 feet
below, expecting death st every moment.
Her companies, who were much frightened,
at once realized her alarming position, and
the thought of saving her quickly entered
their minds. Dispatching one of The young
men to the house for rope, Henry Epperson
took off his coat and slowly and cautiously
made his way to where the young lady lay.
She was pulled from the edge OF the bluff,
and when the rope came was taken to the
top ard home. Miss Ratcliff suffered
sprained ankle, her arm vas badly wrench
ed, and she was otherwise bruised.-Chico

even he had ever done before, and the harsh.

Though this does not prove that the entire

tic Church.

The annual pension appropriation report
ed to the House of Representatives reaches
$50. 975, 500. The war, in 1878, had been
over more than dozen years, and S27 .OOO,-
600 then seemed liberal annual amount to
be paying for pensions. but during the Hayes
administration the arrears act was passed,
and from that time to the present there has
been constant addition, and now Commits

ed to meet current payments during the
next fiscal year. Where all this will end no

The New York World says that as the

everywhere, the pruning-knife nowhere in

the past four years. This is the record of
the present Congress thus far.
