Miss Emma Nail, daughter of James Nail, of Wil liams creek, was examined on Thurs day last before Judge Day, by Drs. .Aiken and Vrooman, and pronounced insane. The unfortunate young lady had been attending our district school and since the holidays her health had been failing and together with excess ive study is probably the cause of her sad condition. Her brothrrand .sister, Mrs..Kincaid, started with her on Fri- day for the Asylum, at kast Portland, where it is hoped she will soon bo res tored to bealth and intellect We call attention to a few stanzas beautiful and full of pathos, kindly tmj!pt4bTited JjjW-.-A. .McPliejRonJo .the Sentinel. Ihey tell their story. Hon C. C. Beekman received a tele gram yesterday informing him of his father's death, which occurred at Dun dee, N. Y. at nine a. m. yesterday. A Fisher & Co, next door to post office, have just opened out the first new goods of the season. They are fresh, stylish and offered at low prices- The rush still continues to Silver creek and " the mountains between Rogue river and Rlinois will, no doubt be thoroughly prospected this summer. Sheriff Bybee has a mocking bird named "Beecher" out at his ranch. From the tone of his voice he must be the "fiend"' referred to by the "Times.'' Joe. Clough's smiling face is again seen on our streets. He has lately re. turned from Briggs' creek where ho lo. cated a claim that we hope has "mill ions in it" Mr. N.

Complaints are still made in the mail service on the route between Lake view and Ashland. Postmaster Hel man has called the attention of the proper authority to the matter. One of our physicians remarked yes terday that if one physician had all the business in this place he would starve t death on it We need say no more about the public health. In another column will be found the advertisement of "Ophir," claimed to be the best blooded trotter now in Southern Oregon. Read his pedigree and-be satisfied that his claims are well founded. If ready and willin' to go to the tavern and spend a shilling, jusji drop it over the counter 'to honest Matt Dillon. If you wish to be lucky, you will take a small drink of his pure old Kentucky. Mrs. James D. Fay was to arrive here on last night's stage and proposes remaining for a time visiting friends and relatives. Mr. Fay is at Coos Bay at present attending to a law suit in w hich he is an attorney. Read the ad of Mr. Feathers and buy a "Singer." If you want the best suit or garment in the county, buy some Ashland goods and have Mr. Feathers make it up Cutting and fit ting at a nominal price. Those going to Silver creek will bear in mind that Thornton's, the old Hayes place on the Kerbyville road, is the point of departure from the settlement. Prospectors can find bacon, flour and dried fruit at Mr. Thornton's. The initial number of the Coos Ar gus, published by A. E. Wagstaff, is at hand. It is a bright readable paper, full of news, and showing editorial ability. Published at Empire City and Republican in politics. Success to it. Mrs. P. P. Prim, wife of Supreme Judge Prim, returned to her home in Jacksonville on Saturday night's stage from the North. The Judge will prob ably remain in Salem for a couple of months as the Supreme Court -docket is still heavy. Elsewhere notice the advertisement of "Turk," Robt Wstrop's Timoleon draught-horse. He is highly recom mended by stock raisers both in this and Douglas counties and those want ing good, hardy and kind stock will do well to consider his good qualifies. We observe Mrs. Henry Pape, the most enthusiastic florist in Jackson ville, very busy arranging her fine gar den. Flowers are for the poor as well as for the rich, as in our frequent pass ing and repassing we enjoy the fruits of that excellent lady's labor as well as she. On Sunday last a party went over to Herling's in Yeit Schutz's wagon and when going over a rough part of the road the hind wheels went into a chuck hole throwing Mrs. Fred Grob out backwards to the ground. She fortunately sustained only slight inju ries. Col. Ross has returned from his trip to La Grande. He informs us that suit is to be commenced against the se curities of Hendershott the defaulting Register of the State Land Office at once. McComas, the successor of Ilcn dershott, seems to have adiusted his ir regularities in a satisfactory manner.

The Squaw Lake Co. arc still trou bled with their diteh breaking as the continued rains keep the ground from settling, a serious break occurring last week. It has been repaired, however, and tho company are again piping. Robb, Eckleson & Co., of tho Star Gulch mine, made a partial clean up last week after eight days ran, washing up sixty-one ounces. It is known that there is still a considerable amount in their rock race which will not bo clean ed up till the end of the season. 'I a .- A W OUD TO THE "TIMES. " The "Democratic Times" of last week had the following: Wo were aware that Sheriff Bybee had no intention of attending to tho duties of his office personally. Yet, no one expected that he would entrust the management thereof to an insolent deputy who takes a fiendish delight in arbitrarily exeicising the petty authori ty he is accidentally invested with. Should I deem it necessary to ask advice regarding my official duties, the "Times" man's counsel would bo. the last called for. So far as his criti cism is concerned, to use his own lan guage, it is simply, "insolence." Hav ing given good and sufficieit bonds for the honest performance of tho du ties of Sheriff I nronose to ea ' that they are efficiently attended toiWhen tne puoiic interest is lixeiy to, suuer from any negilgence of mine or.that of mydeputies, it will be time for this self constituted censor to seek distinct ion through the exenise of hi3 eminent journalistic talent Meantime he should recall to mind the factthat no infamous litigant law, for the exclu sive benefit of ring organs, exists in the State. Wm Btbee, Sheriff. Freak op Nature. About ten days since a mare of Mr. , William Penniger gave birth to a foal having three fore legs. The two fore legs were perfectly formed and in their proper place; one of its hind legs was also well shaped and proportioned but where the other shoulder should be is a shoulder and a fore leg somewhat mal-formed and with the knee joint bending out sideways. The foal was fully grown but dead when born. BY WILLIAM ASOCS XCFUEOSOS. An old man and his little daughter about thirteen years old called at the residence of a wealthy farmer in Cali fornia recently and asked for work. The proprietor, supposing them to be tramps, and having plenty of Chinese help, turned them away. Next morn ing they were found dead on the mar gin of a small stream, tho childs head pillowed upon her dead fathers breast. They had evidently died of fatigue and starvation. It was afterwards ascer tained that they were from the East and had been unable to find employ ment Eastern paper. "What do I want!"

A few days since when Gin Lcn, the Boss China man of Applegate, wa3 on a visit to Jacksonville, his box of jewelry, con taining also a small sum of money, was stolen. On his return Lcn was in formed of the fact and ho and his stew ard made up their minds that the thief was in their own camp. That evening the Chinamen, numbering abou . ., 'ii i-i : wmm m i . . . , . , : . i Good Friday. Tho day j after to morrow will be "Good Friday," one of the holiest days in the Cathslic calea dar. There will be no mass on that day, the church will be draped in mourning and no bell will ba tolled as the day is observed in sacred commem oration of the Savior's death and pass ion. Services will be held in the Cath olic Church at 7:15 p. s:., appropriate to the occasion. Cohkection.- ville Lodge I. O, It was tho Jackson O. F. that furnished Ashland Lodge with jewels and rega lias, the latter having lost theirs in the late fire. An item is going the rounds of the press crediting the Odd Fellows of Yreka with having supplied their destitute brethren. , '-- ,........ ... ..,. the cabin, the occurrence mentioned and all enjoined to assist in recovering the missing box from the evil "Joss" who was accused of taking it. First some incantations v.ero gone through with that were of very imposing nature. Next every light was extinguished and tho men marched in single file several times around tho outside of the cabin, on each round passing through the dark ened house. Strange to say, after this performance had been repeated a num ber of times the relighting of the lamps revealed tho stolen box on the table and yet none of the boys knew which one had been in communication with the devil. Len is satisfied, ho got his valuables and some thieving rascal in the camp saved his credit and queue. Mr. Editor. It is the duty of every citizen to assist in guarding tho inter ests of the whole people of tho county and State of which ho is a resident Nor need he be untrue to himself in doing so, for that which inures to the interest of one is an advantage to all in a public point of view. These thoughts are suggested by an effort now being made by certain parties in terested in business at Rock Point to induce the county to pay from four to five thousand dollars to aid in the con struction of a free bridge across Rogue River at that point A petition is be ing circulated over tho county at this timo and citizens aro being importuned to sign the same asking the County Commissioners to appropriate the amount of money above named for tho purpose stated. Be it known that Thos. Chavner has ncja splendid new bridge across the river, ono and a-half miles above Rock Pom "where tho stages carrying the TJ. S. mails and all other travel cross at the most reasonable rates. And taw bridge is situated on the most di rect route from all parts of this valley South of Rock Point leading to the North. The road is better in every respect than that leading from Darda nells to the old bridge, and it has boon rendered so by the individual enter prise of Mr. Chavner. Every ono who has ever travelled the road k"now3 that near the old bridge, on the South side of the river, it is rough and dangerous because of its rocky condition. There have been enough wagons broken on that almost impassable-ortion of the road in tho last fio years to pay for the construction of a bridge bettor than the old one. The road on the South sum oi mo river, leaning to tiie new bridge, is gravelled and passable for all manner of vehicles at all times of the year. Mr. Chavner has spared neither time nor expense in making it so with out asking the county or any one else for a single cent. Then why this effort to add to the heavy burden of taxation already borno by the projicrty owners of the county in tho construction of a free bridge. Rock Point makes nothing in tho operation, as tho road leading from Chavner's bridge North passes directly through that village. So far as the people of Foot s creek are concerned they constitute but a small portion of the population of the couuty, numbering only thirty or forty voters, and while their interest are to be guarded with those of other citizens they are too magnanimous to expect nil to become &ulordinate to their special and exclusive wants. If it is inconve- njpnr for thptn in ronoTvo lio! moU Rock Point they can apply for and have a mail of their own. The old bridge at Rock Point has long been a "white elephant" on the hands of the county authorities. It has been con demned as unsafo by the County Court for four year?, and it is located on no county road. Tho location is in no re spect equal to that where the new bridge is constructed. On tho North side ot tne river me apron nas been once washed away, and Chavners bridge would be safe when the old one would be washed away. Nor can there be one constructed at Rock Point that would bo safe from high water except at the heaviest cost Again, in regard to the people of Foots creek : It is not especially ne cessary that they should purchase their goods and groceries at Rock Point. Merchants at Jacksonville sell equally as cheap, and certainly do not feel dis posed to be taxed heavily to divert trade away frcm themselves. I am an old resident of this county. All my interests are here. Not one cent of my capital is invested elsewhere, lut the county receives taxes on every dollar I possess. Nov., taxpayers of Jackson county, in concluaion one more word. Our taxes are now high. This effort to incrcaso the burden is in the interest of a few individuals and not for the benefit of tho wholo people. Chavner's bridge is safe and the approaches to it are good. Footmen pay nothing for cross ing, and all othcra cioss at reasonable ratc3. Be careful then when rked to sign a petition to increase your burden, to plexso tii caprice of a few parties who imagine ti.?t they can hoodwink the public and thereby put money in iii. irpuioV" BUY THE BEST. 73,620 MORE SINGER MACHINES SOLD IN 1878 Than in any Previous Year.
