+. M. Snider, cashier of the Bank
OF Oroville, presented this office with
the first one dollar Federal Reserve
Bank bill that has come to the town
during the past week. Mr.. Snider
went to the trouble of sending away
for the bill. 1t is very pretty piece
OF paper money, and with the cupidity
that is common to the human race
shy of money in any quantities we
wistfully gaze on that scrap of pa
per and wish we had a shief of the
handsomely printed strips, and no
matter as to the size of the shief it
could not be made too large to satisfy
our desire.

badly mangled and the hand lacerated.
Besides these injuries Murph was also
wounded in the leg and side. The
statement was made that he was pep
pered by a shell No matter how he
got it we trust that Mr.. Mcintyre is
not crippled therefrom.

Notice has been received that DR..
S. A. Burge, the Seattle optician, will
be here at the jewelry store of VIM.
S Mishler from October 9th to the
21st, prepared to fit glasses for those
in need of such conveniences. DR..
Burge needs no introduction to the
residents of Oroville, as he has made
regular visits to the town for several
years and from the fact that he re-
turns so frequently, and always finds
orders awaiting him is sufficient evil
dence that he does satisfactory work.
And this is the only kind OF work you
