He Fought Like a Giant, Though Below
Ordinary Size.
Past Commander William Peterkin of the
New York Custom house is one of the best
known comrades OF the G. A. r. His Grand
Army cognomen is Billy, and he is to be
seen every time that soldiers get together
He does not take up much space In the

lie owes the fact that his head to-day rests
firmly upon his shoulders.

THE NEW ORGAN,
Rev. Jones' Pjps-Organ Being Placed In
Position at NJ. T.. Church.
Besides being a learned and able divine.

Rev. Jones' Pjpe-Organ Being Placed In
Position at NJ. T.. Church.
Besides being learned and able divine,
Rev. Seneca Jones, pastor of the NJ. E.
Church, is quite mechanic. 1t is no trick
for him to white out almost anything and
preach good sermon.
Yesterday morning Mail reporter called
at the NJ E. Church, and there caught Mr..
ZONES in the act of placing fine pipe-organ
in position for use by his congregation.
The organ occupies the western end of the
hail, and was built by Rev. Jones, who has
been at work upon the instrument for the
past six years, devoting his spare moments
to changing and improving the same. When
the organ is in position at the church in this
city it will be more complete than ever be-
fore, as in shipping the instrument from
Lodi to Woodland it was necessary to take
1t apart, thus affording Rev. Jones an OPP
portunity of re, airing the weak points be-
fore putting it together.
The organ is valued at $500 and contains
700 pipes, ranging in size from fourteen feet
in length and one foot in diameter to the size
of goose-quill. 1t will be the largest and
finest musical instrument in the city of
Woodland. Woodland Mail, Nov. 22d

as the leader of the Twenty-second and Do
lores street gang, and is an incorrigible
loafer.
Later in the day the two who made good
their esca,e called at the Police Station to
inquire after Mathews and were arrested
for drunkenness.

Last night Mr.. Miller appeared at the
Southern Station, and had charge of en-
bezzlement preferred against the prisoner.

FOR DYSPEPSIA,
Ayers SarsaparilIa

Is an effective remedy, as numerous testimo-
mails conelusively prove. "For two years

and liver complaint. l doctored long
time and the medicines prescribed, in nearly
every case, only aggravated the disease.
An apothecary advised me to use Ayers
Sarsaparilla. l did so, and was cured
at cost of IS. Since that time 1t has
been my family medicine, and sickness has
become stranger to our household. I
believe it to be the best medicine ON earth"

immediately on feeling its extreme
coldness they ran away exclaimlng
that it was ''burra gurram m-very
hot. A child, too, cried violently,
and told his mamma that the glass
had burnt his fingers" 1t was not
little surprising, on several occa-
sions, to see the ice brought to the
table as the greatest possible luxury
and handed round to persons to mix
with their wine; which, although
cooled with saltpeter and giauber
salts, had not attained a much lower
temperature than that of new milk
The ice In question was taken ont

market, when the ice unexpectedly
proved more lucrative species oi
