Growing Necessities of the Young
Mems Christian Association.
Its Annual Meeting-Interesting Sta
tistics Taken from the Report of
Secretary Speares.

The semi-annual meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association was held on Monday
evening. The reports of the various
committees showed the work to be in a
f1ourishing condition.
More room is greatly needed for the
educational work and for the Junior De-
partment. The present quarters arequite
crowded, and much more and better work
could be done if the association had its
own building thoroughly adapted TO its
needs.
G. NJ. Campbell and ]. L. Speares were
elected delegates to the International Con-
vention, to be held at Indianapolis on
May 9th.
The following statistical report pre-
sented by the Secretary will give some
idea of the work done during the past six
months:
Spiritual-Young mems meetings, a.
attendance, 1854. Bible training class
meetings, 26; attendance, 500. Professed
conversions, q.
Social-Social receptions, 4; attendance.
~. Junior receptions, l; attendance,
Educational-German class, IL; attend
ance, l35.
Physical Department-Atte for
instruction (class and individually, 3,67l.
Baths taken, 1889.
Miscellaneous daily attendance
2l.546; letters written, Iii; letters re-
ceived, 62S; board and rooms, 50; employ
ment, Al; otherwise assisted, 10.
Membership-New members, 106; re-
movals, 90; failed to renew, %; left the
city, l3.
Financial-Total receipts, 81, ,2S4 46; ex-
penditures, as per budget, g., 1872 So; over
draft, SS 81; amount still needed from sub
scriptions to the close of the association
year, $3.50.
The above showing is exceedingly
gratifying to all friends of the association
and the work that comes within its sphere
OF usefulness. That the association is
sadly in need of more room to accommo-
date Its increasing membership is evil
dent, and the community should aid it in
its efforts to erect building of its own.
The physical exercise, or gymnastic,
department is proving a great attraction
to the members, and its beneficial results
are apparent in many ways. Altogether
the association is doing splendid work,
and should have all the aid and encour-
agement possible.

iendant, and was the issue upon which
the cause WIS triei.
1T he close OF the plaintiffs case the
deiendant moved for non-suit on the
ground that the evidence failed to sus-
tain this allegation of the complaint.
The court denied the motion, and, the de-
fendant declining to offer any evidence,
judgment was rendered in favor of the
plaintiff, from which and an order deny
ing new trial, the defendant appealed.
After reviewing the case at length, the
Judgment and order of the lower court
have been reversed by the Supreme
Court, which holds that the insurance
did not commence until the machine had
commenced actual harvesting IN the
field. The decision was rendered by
Justice Harrison and concurred in by
Justices De Haven, Beatty and Fitz-
gerald.
Judge Patterson gives dissenting
opinion, which is concurred in by
Justices Garoutte and Mcfarland.

What Is Money

Weighed against that health it so often
fails to buy? Dross indeed. While we
can none of us claim total exemption
from that greatest of all ills to which flesh
is heir-ill health, we may do much to
lessen the chances of incurring it, and
this not alone by the adoption of such
in daily exercise, regular hours, prudence
in eating and drinking, and a wholesome
diet, but also by resorting to judicious
preventive medication when the system
is threatened by unhealthful influences.
For instance, residents or sojourners in
malarious localities should use Hostetter's
stomach Bitters as adefense against chills
and fever. and persons who incur much
out-ot-door exposure should employ it as
a safeguard against rheumatism. Trav-
elers in the tropics find it invaluable also
as means of arresting liver complaint
and constipation, and counteracting the
debilitating influence of torrid climate.

While on visit to Placerville some
days ago George f. Parker, the insurance
agent, came very near being killed. He was
talking with friend named Pearson, on
an unfrequented street, when he felt
something strike him on the neck, and
putting up his hand found that he was
bleeding.
Parker was somewhat dazed for a few
moments, but on recovering he and his
friend instituted an investigation, and
found that youth named Lambert had
been shooting at a target with small
bore air-gun in an adjoining yard, and
that it was one of his bullets that had
done the mischief.
a surgeon was visited, and he found
that the bullet had gone into the muscles
of the neck, barely escaping cutting the
jugular vein in its course Parker re-
fused to have the bullet cut out, but has
tened back 10 this city.
The wound has apparently healed, but
the bullet is still in Parker's neck, al
though it has not thus far caused him
much pain nor Inconvenience.

The poultry yards of Mr.. Barton and

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Com pany has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres of
land in the heart Of T'ehaSna County for tho
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, 80, 12O, 160 and 32O acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment OF interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is TO have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annun,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other grades OF land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from SEQ to
800 acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body OF land was the breaking up OF large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
