Circulars have been sent to Mendocino wool men advising them to defer shear ing until next spring, as the present price of wool is very low and the pros pects for better rates are very gloomy.

One fire near Leedy's mill is making its way east ward, and another north of Niagara is under good headway in the same direc tion, and three miles east of Idanha is another. The most furious one, and one that is spreading in all directions, is five miles up the Breitenbush. There is no possible chance of checking the fires until heavy rains set in.

The only incident happening dur ing our ten days' sojourn happened while Mr. Grieves and myself were returning from an extended hunt. Mr. Grieves lost his footing and came down with such violence among the craggy rocks and boul ders as to cause us serious alarm.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tach ian Tube. M hen this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed. Deafness is tho result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is noth ing but an inflamed condition ot the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused bv ca tarrh) that canuot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free. F. J.
