Going to Hermit Island.

Several workmen of San Fran
cisco, headed by L. J. Reinhardt, a
carpenter, are preparing to establish
commonwealth in the South Seas.
Seven men have joined the scheme,
and when there are fifty band will
sail for St. John or Hermit Island.
The promoters say that many ma
tive women live on this island, but
there are no men; and so the mem
bers of the expedition believe that
they will be at a premium. The
promoters are all single men.

A True Friend Gone.


Jack" our old hunting dog,
passed in his checks yesterday
morning, dying from old age. He
was faithful old dog, and proba-
bly, as we'll bred as any dog in the
State. He was about IA years of
age, which speaks well for his be-
havior, as a thousand other dogs
have been poisoned in this commu-
nifty He was as intelligent as a
dog can be made, and as true a
friend as man ever had. He was
buried decently, and we are not
ashamed to say that a few tears
Wer shed on his grave.
