So tlien the wise bear ate him up And cribbed his golden horn. LOCAL MATTERS. Second ADVEXT.One of the most In teresting and entertaining sermons we have heard for some time was delivered by Judge Bronatigh, ot Portland, on Sunday evening last at the M E. t-Tmrcli. Tlie sermon was on the second coining of Christ,' and was bristling with tacts and figures that seemed to carry conviction to every thoughtful mind that the final winding up of human a ffalrs U a t hand. It would seem, Jodlug Irom tbe fulfillment of prophesy in the past, that tbe final summing up of all things will occur sometime between the present year and 1382. We are sorry that we havn't space for a full report ot the sermon, as It could hardly fail to be of in terest to all our readers. It is the belief of a large number of our most eminent theolo gians, if not all ot them, that the second coming of Christ is almost here ; and while no man knowcth tbe day nor the hour when the Son of man shall come in tbe clouds with power and great glory, to purge the world of sin and all ungodliness, yet the time can be so nearly appioxluiatcd tliat it is the belief of a large number of the great intellects of the world, who have thought and studied deeply on this point, that we are now living in tlie "latter days" or ''last days," spoken ot by the prophets, apostles and our divine Lord when upon earth. The speaker asserted his earnest bfllef in the nearness of the second coining of Christ, and that his belief was founded on facts as demonstrable as any problem' in mathematics. Prospectors Betubned. Messrs. Fred. Banty, Richardson and otliers returned from a prospecting tour on the headwaters of the Calipeoia last week. They fonnd quartz ledges that look well enough, but it will take an assay to tell their value. They struck what may turn out to be good placer diggings. Prospectors are making tlielr way tip into the mountains along the vari ous streams that permeate the valley, and If there is good placers or rich ledges In the region round about they will scarcely es cape the keen eyes ot so many well versed and experienced miners. Success attend them. Broke Jail. Frank Wy man, incarcer ated in the county jail on tbe cliarge ot arson, made his escape troui tliat Institu tion on Monday about eleven o'clock. About that time lie was out in the ball, with sliackles on hU ankles, and was given a paper with which to while away the hours. 'He left a notice saying be was obliged to take the Irons with him much against his will ; and if not taken before, he would return iu October and stand hl trlal. The Deputy Sheriff, as soon as his absence was discovered, started In pursuit of Wyman. i IL's hardly probable that tbe prisoner will get very far away unless he can get rid of his sliackles. "Borrowed. " On night last week a new saddle disappeared from Mr. John l ostcr's stable It was a saddle manufact ured but a short timo before by Fred. McCoy to Mr. Foster's order, and Iiad some peculiarities, was built somewhat different, from other saddles, and will therefore be recognized with creator ease than other wise. The party who "borrowed" that saddlo is requested to return it at once. provided he doesn't want the weather to got tropical at his place. Mr. Foster has im mediate use for that saddle and desires you to return it at once. Verb. tap. IIou. D. 6. Clark, of this city, while cut at Salt Springs last wet-k, killed two fine elk, with two successive shots from bis double-barrcKr ilavlng more fresh meat in camp titan they could get away with, be .'jerked" a few bushels of elk and brought in home, to give his friends a taste of elk who cant get out Into the mountains, and In passing we got oar share, fcr which we make our salaam. .Elk is course but sweet meat, and when dried is most excel lent fbr lunch.

Among the few preparations that have stood the test, those manufacmred by R. V. PieTOe,- M, D-, of the World's Dispensary, Buffalo, X. Y., have for many years been foremost. -The truth of any statement made conccrn--Ing tliem can be easily ascertained, for Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and Dr. Pierce's' Golden Medical Discovery are now prfri scrlbcd by many physicians in curing obsti nate cases of Catarrh and Incipient Con sumption. Tlie Discovery has no equal In curing Coughs, Colds. Bronchial and Ner vous Affect ions. It allays all irritation of tbe mucous membrane, aids digestion, and when used with Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pnr--gative Pellets renthly overcomes torpid Urcr" and Constipation, while tho Favorite Pre scription has no rival in tlie field of pre pared medicine' in curing diseases peculiar' to females.

The regular secretion and flow of tbe gastric juices, and ot the bile which the uso Ilostctrer's Stomach Bitters promotes, are effects which conduce materially to the res toration of health, when the system is dis ordered. Food is not digested in the dys peptic stomach because the gastric fluid is deficient, superabundant or vitiated ; Uie liver becomes congested and the bowels constipated because tbe supply ot bile is in adequate or misdirected. The Bitters recti fies all this, and removes every iH conse quence of non-assimilation and billions ir regularity. Furthermore, It stimulates the action of the kidneys, by which lmpurltle are so to speak, strained from the blood.. and any tendency in tbe urinary organs to g.-ow sluggish and disordered counteracted. Whether it be used as a means ot regulat ing gastri&or bilious secretion, and reliev ing the overloaded bowels, or to promote complete, and therefore healthful urina tion, Hostetters Bitters may be relied upon, with coufldence to accomplish tlie end in. view.
