Church In this city, to which all Christian work- ers are cordially invited. Meeting will be Interspersed with singing and ap propriate addresses. The meeting will lie continued on Monday evening. . Isaiah Wilson, Pastor. Mellow Soil. As an evidence of the splendid condition of the rich soil in the city limits, since the rains, we may suite that a wagon loaded with wheat, on Thursday, attempted to cross from Montgomery to Bilker streets, in the suburbs of the city, somewhere about Ninth, when the wagon sank down into the mellow earth clear to the axle. Six able-bodied horses were attached to the wagon, but failed to budge it. After unloading. It was as much as four horses and the united action of several strong men could do to get the empty wagon out of its predicament. Our farmers com ing in with heavy loads should stick to the graveled streets if they don't wish to be compelled to unload before they get to a warehouse. Another Steamer The Walla Wallalans are agitating the subject of purchasing another steam engine for their little city. The one purchased some time ago seems to have given such general satisfaction, that the citi zens feel like investing in another.

Patton, living in the Waldo Hills, attempted to commit suicide on Saturday by taking poison. He swallowed a large dose of strych nine, arsenic and two or three other drugs. He was found by his wife shortly afterward, lying on the ground, near the barn, insensible. He had, however, taken such an overdose as to defeat his purpose, as he vomited freely. He is still lying in a critical condition, but will probably recover. Mr. A. E. Isham, a prominent law yer of' North Idaho, well known to many of the people of this part of the country, lies dangerously sick at War rens, and is not expected to recover. The amount of money given by the Boise City Jockey Club during the races was $1,250. Besides this, John Young, proprietor of the track, gave purses to the amount of $180, making a total of $1,430.

A fourteen year old boy. the nephew of Mr. Web ber, was out hunting rabbits. Some Indians were camped in a field through which he was roaming, two of which were sleeping quite late in the morn ing, in the tall ryegrass, some distance from their camp. The boy coining near the place where they were lying, and seeing something move In the grass, thought he saw a rabbit, and fired, the whole charge of shot taking effect in the left side and breast of the squaw, who, it seems, had risen to a sitting position, probably on hearing the approach Of the boy. The shot must have taken effect in the heart, as the woman died almost instantly. The boy was not more than 18 or 20 feet away from the woman at the time. On viewing the scene It was evident that he coirid hot have seen plainly enough to tell what be was shooting at. Rch discoveries oi silver ore are reported about twenty-five miles south of Green River Station, on the Union Pacific Railroad.

The following abbreviated narrative contains a moral ot about the same touching nature, and certainly of as practical a character, as a not small number of our modern publications. Aspirants for literary fame will cer tainly be benefitted by its perusal, and when we compliment tiiem by assert ing our belief of tire inability of one- half of them to equal even this ettit sion, we hope we may hot be misun derstood. CHAFfER I. BRIDGETA. The moon shone forth in all its glory, and the little stars that dotted tnc nrmameui looaeu smilingly uuwii unon Bridgeta Le Flvnn, as she wend ed her way up the walk that led to her fathers mansion. A beautiful picture it was. Sixteen bright Summers had lightly waltzed over her auburn tresses and yet she wasn't happy. No; but as she stop ped to gather the fragrant Jimsou flowers that grew on either side of the walk, a deep-drawn sigh escaped her, and ever and anon she murmured, Claude." 'Twasa very beautiful night, and the light that streamed from the win dows of the mansion not to mention the moonlight made it as light as daylight. But wiry was the fair Bride-eta out on the lawn ? Why did she leave the merry throng that had assembled in her father's spacious par lors? Why? isay! audi repeat it. Why ? Was it because the company was not congenial? Was it because she wished to cool her fevered brow, or to watch the gambols of the agile mosquito? Uli, no: none oi tnese, Bridgeta ! but of that we will speak in another chapter. CHAPTER II. CLAUDE. Claodo Mel not de Finegan was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Finegan. His larents bad intended him for the miu strv. but at the early age ot fourteen lie evinced such decide talents for the bar that they had not the heart to op pose him aiid thus Ve find him, at the ige ot twenty-tour, snnguig gin-slings and oilier appetizers over the bar of a third-class hotel. Claude was a model young man, tall and fair to look upon. A slight acci dent while a child had deprived him of one ot his eyes, but having a cast in the oi.e he had not been deprived ot. the loss was scarcely noticeable. His lose was ot the "Homing" style of architecture, and roamed prettv much all over his fate. Claude prided himself on Ins singing. lie had a tine falsetto voice, and his seven dollar "false setter" teeth were the envy of all the young men. Alas! for Claude. He loved! And had a rival whom he thought held pretty much all the best playing cards. La Claude was unhappy. On the morning we arc first introduced to him he had sworn vengeance. He must have blood! Deep, ,red, gory blood! It was plain to be seen that his mind was wandering, lie wasn't himself all that day. For instance, when a customer called for a hot Scotch, he would hand him a toothpick, etc., and he was observed upon one occasion to mistake his pocket tor the cash drawer. Such U lite. CHAPTER itt, THE RIVAL. Antonio Cnppellittl first saw day light in sunny Italy. Beine of an ad venturous turn of mind, be left his tab- home, came to America, and hired suite of furnished rooms on Kearney street, in tliis city, Hfedlsthigtiishediippcarance, blend ed with his eonversatlonal powers and rare musical qualities, gained hfm ac cess to the best society. And it is not strange that fie should hate met Bridgeta La Flynu. And to see her was to love her. Antonio knew all tln, and more for he swore a terrible oath that he would some day claim her as his bride. Many and many a night did lie stand beneath her window and grind out beautiful music from his nafid organ. And many and many a night did the pollcemau threaten toun mm iu for disturbing the peace. Policemen have no souls for music, CHAPTER IV. HOHRIBLE, Twns night before last. The moon was hid behind a veil of mist ; a clonded canopy o'erhung the world, naught was heard save tlie troubled water of Jones Fails dashing upon the rock-boimd shore, (Patent applied for.) All was dark within the FmegRn mansion. Bridgeta was sleep ing the sleep of innocence. Tiger, the watch dog, slept the sleep of innocence also. The sleep of Innocence was King Dick in the Finegan mansion. A tall figure, clutching dagger, and muffled in a cloak that reached the ground, glided from ont the shrub bery, ascended the porch; approached the door and tried the latch. Locked. Turning round, the light from a firefly revealed the face of Antonio Cappellittl. For a few moments An tonio stood listening. Then he cintch ed the dagger with a sterner grasp. A demoniac smile gathered on n upper-lip ; lie gritted his teeth and said, "Chi non s"arrlschi, no gnadaqna!" What "Chi noh s'nrrischl, non gtiad aqu I" means I haven't the slightest idea", but suppose he knew or he wouldn't have said it. He knelt doWn, put his left eye to the keyhole and said "Damn it!" He couldn't have had a very satis factory view of the interior of the room, for after gazing a few moments, he came down from the porch, took from beneath his cloak a rope ladder, and examined it with the utmost care. Then as if a sudden thought or a brick had struck him, he measured with his eye the distance from the window to the ground, took the rope ladder iu one hand, and went home. Tint END, One or Max Adeler's Stories. A friend of ours who was stopping at an interior town a few days aao, w ent with a companion into a small tavern near to the railroad station. Sitting behind the bar In a rocking-chair was the landlady, reading a book, aud cry ing over it. When a customer would come In she would turn tiio volume down on the table, wipe her eyes, and dispense the liquid poison, and perhaps abuse some one of tlie drinkers for not paying his score. Then she would return-to the book, and open the. foun tain of lier tears afresh. Presently a gentleman with a vermillion nose and tattered garments came In, and after obtaining a sip of gin attempted to walk out without paying for it. Then that landlady slammed her book down on the counter, climbed over the bar, and engaged in single combat with" the party of the glowing nose, She came oil' the conqueror, but while the con flict raged, our man walked over and took a look at tlie title of the book. It was Mr. Arthur's affecting story. Ten Nights in a Bar-Room. This is a tact. Delicate Gratitude. The New AJlmuy Ledger-Standard tells of an incident, wnicti ii true, uoes mucn to wards redeeming our race from the charge of selfishness. A gentleman had assisted another to start in busi ness, whereby he had risen from nov elty and obscurity to wealth and dis tinction. Quite recently the daughter of the benefactor was married. Her father, not having kept pace with his protege for wealth, was unable to be stow upon her any rich gifts with which to commence life. But tlie gen tleman who, years before, had profited by his benevolence, had not forgotten what he owed to him, aud considering that it would be a delicate way ot ac knowledging his indebtedness to be stow a present upon the daughter, held many consultations with his family as to what it should be. Unable to, de cide, it was finally concluded to make the present in money and let her in vest it as she saw fit; and while others brought gilts of plate and jewels, the grateful millionaire simply pressed in the hand of tbo bride a package ot money and departed. Imagine the exultant joy of the bride and her spouse when, on unrolling It, the package was found to contain a dollar greenback. I
