ing on the Sabbath after permitting the

ways Of carrying out his wishes than
brutally brushing the cards of the tables
without warning, and knocking them out
OF the players hands. Dancing was not
stipulated by the Committee nor asked
for by any one; moreover, there wonld

innocent social amusements ut which he 10
bluntly expressed his annoyance, he knew
very we'll beforehand, the party did not
intend to pay him 81 per head for the
pleasure OF holding Quaker meeting for
his own exclusive benefit. The same un-
warrantable vulgarity displayed by the
gallant Captain was worthily initiated by
his steward Mabia, who brutally and
without n word Of notice shut up tho
piano in the face OF party OF ladies and
gentlemen engaged in It's legitimate
use. A spirit equally pusillanimous and
disagreeable was evinced by the neg
lect to place towels in the ladies
cabin, or even single tumbler where.

nothing but bigoted mSlignity could
have prompted the Captain to start
on his return trip twenty minutes before
the appointed time, pulling the stage
from under the feet Of a passenger about
10 get on board, and leaving eight others
behind to return to Wheeling by rail.
The trick Of placing the stage at the
Wheeling wharf in such a way as to pre-
vent any one from landing unhurt With
out assistance, was observed by every one,
and his refusal, afterwards recOnsidGred,
to land portion OF tho party at Rltchie-
town, was similar piece Of amiability. A
dozen more incidents might DO cited to
show that the Captain and his immediate
subordinates looked down upon and
treated his human cargo very much as
the Captains Of emlgrant ships did
fifty years ago. As u last touching up Of
the character Of this sanity man, who
blandly pocketed onr money on Sunday
while he frOwned upon us for the sake Of
public opinion, we may be permitted to
refer to an incident quite characteristic
Of steamboat religion. When between
Parkersburg and Marietta, the steamer
Andes was seen ahead Of us, Captain
Anshutz was heard to say something to
the effect that he would rather see the
Express in H. than to permit the Andes
tobeat her to Marietta |!


In conclusion we beg to Say that We
shall, under all circumstances, fully slis-
tain the reporters who have given an ac-
count OF tho disgraceful conduct Of the
Express officers, and that we were only
drawn into this lengthy explanation by
the glNrlng inaccuracies Of yOnr biased

 As the time for sowing wheat approaches many questions are asked as to the best time to SOW, the best seed, the best land and the best method of preparing the seed and the land. Of course farmers, like doctors, sometimes disagree.

 But I think all intelligent farm CTS will agree that it is better to prepare the ground well by deep and thorough blowing; that it will not pay to SOW wheat on old worn out fields where the best of the soil has been washed away and the ground grown up with persimmon and sassafras bushes. It is perhaps safer way not to SOW all at one time. If sowed very early it appears to be more subject to the attacks of Hessian flies and army worms; and occa- sionally heads too soon in the spring and is cut down by late freezes. On the contrary if sown very late it is likely to be injured by rust, and late wheat seldom yields as large crop or as plump heavy grain.

 We cannot expect as favorable seasons every year as we have for the past, and it is therefore the more important that WE shall do OUR part well. Let us do all in our power to secure another large crop of this the best of all cereals and Arkansas will have establish ed an enviable name as a wheat growing state.

 Lime is quite as good as blue stone to prevent rust-soak we'll with either, and there will be but little injury from rust. Or, soak in strong brine and dry with slacked lime. T.

AT the earnest solicitation of many
friends, and in the exercise of the right
guaranteed to every citizen by the free
institutions of this Country, | hereby
announce myself as an Independent Can
dldate for the position of AssEMBLYMAN
for the counties of Shasta and Trinity,
subject only to the decision of the PEOPLE,
independent of parties, at the Polls in
September.


My record in the past is criterion of
what my course will be in the future, if
elected. If successful, my ambtion will
be 10 faithfully represent the interests of
the whole people and do what is RIGHT,
opposing, to the best of my ability ali
the oppressive monopulies and dishonest
schemes against the public interest. On
the important question of No Fence law,
or Trespass law, l shall oppose its appli-
cation to the counties of Shasta and Trim
ity, believing the passage of such law
would greatly injure the prosperity of
said counties.


AS | have neither time nor money to
devote to electoneering, | refer voters to
those friends who have been acquainted
with me and my transactions during a
residence in Shasta county of over twenty
three years, as to what kind of man |
am, and as to my character and reputation
for honesty and tar- dealing.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
Elsewhere in our columns will be found
full report of the proceedings of the
Republican Convention which met on
Thursday, August 9th, and nominated
candidates for County Officers. The
proceedings throughout were marked
with dignity and an earnest desire to la
bor for the best interests of the Republi-
can party. The platform, in "a few words
places the party in a proper light before
the people. The ticket nominated is
composed of gentlemen well known by
the people of Trinity as capable, and trust
worthy men, to whom every one desirous
of honest, economical government can
confidently trust the administration of
county affairs. A crowd Of other matter,
and the late time in the week at which
the Convention was held, prevents our
giving a more extended notice of the
proceedings at present, but we shall here
after present the ticket to our readers as
we think it deserves.

Judge Pitman's chimney had
been fowl for some time; when
he mentioned the fact at the
drug store Mr.. Squills said he
could easily clean it out by ex-
ploding a little powder in the
fireplace. The idea seemed to
Pitman a good one, and he
bought almost ten pounds of
powder in order to do the work
thoroughly at the first blast.
The men were graveling his
roof that day, and just as the
judge was about to touch off
the charge a workman named
Snyder leaned over the top of
the chimney to call to the men
below to send up more tar.
Then the judge lit the slow
match. The view which met
the eye Of Mr.. Snyder as he
went up was a tlneOne, embracing
as it did Cape May and Omaha
and Constantinople and Balti-
more and the Sandwich Islands,
and when he got enough of
in the scenery he
came down in the river, appa-
rantly with the intention Of ex-
ploring the bottom.


When he was fiShed out he
was glad to learn not only that
the judges chimney was thor
ougly clean, but that it would
need about four cart loads of
brick to repair damages. After
this the judge will clean his
fiues with a brush fastened to a

personage well known to London

Jack in the Box" He had per.
iected most ingenious system

great pecuniary profit, though in
the result diSastr0usly. He had
box constructed that he could
himself lie in it easily and obtain
the air necessary for respiration.
lie would have his luggage booked
from one station to another, and
labeled, $50 be left till called for.
He took care to send it by a train
that would arrive at It's destination
the middle Of the night, so that
all the luggage, including his box,
which Included himself, would be
stored till the next morning.
Then, in the middle of the night,
when all the luggage had been
safely locked up, be would get
out of his own box, and deliber.
ately at his leisure, open all the
trunks which he found around
him. He would have plenty Of
time for the purpose, and he had
about him duplicates of all the
keys employed by the trunk ma


kels, SO that he could open what
ever he liked. He never took
too much out Of any one box, or
robbed from more than one box of
the same party, but went impar.
TALLY collecting whatever was
most valuable and least likely to
be. traced. These he packed into
his own box and retired with
them, duly locking himself up
In the morning he would be called
for and handed over by the un-

confederates in the scheme. -

From Montreal we learn that
reports of shocking occur
renee are said to have taken
place recently in the Cote des
Neiges Cemetery in that city,
One is to the effect that a young
married lady was taken sudden
ly i'll, and, after two days sick
ness, died. She was laid out,
and after lapse Of three days
the funeral took place. The
corpse was said to be in a re-
markable state of preservation.
After the funeral procession had
reached the cemetery the coffin
was removed into the morgue,
and here a particular friend of
the deceased arrived, and asked
to see the face once more. The
request was granted, and the
coffin lid was -unscrewed, when,
to the horror Of all, it was seen
that the corpse was lying on its
side. The head was twisted
round facing uppermost, the
grave clothes were disarranged,


while the left arm was drawn
up as a support underneath the
body, as if the unfortunate wo-
man had been leaning on it in
an Intellectual and terrible strug-
gle for breath. The sight was
simply terrible, and the unfor-


tunate husband of the deceased
gave way to the widest mani
festations of grief. The ladies
were so overcome by what they
saw, as to faint. 1t is supposed
the woman had been lying in
trance, and was brought to life
by the jolting of the hearse,


while on the road to the cemcte-
ry, though. of course, only TO
smother. This is all that is
known of the terrible affair."
