The officers of the 0. & C. stage Co., were obliged td wait for a change in the weather and roads before ehanrnnc time. They intended to change time a week ago but the stages will probably continue to run as heretofore for a week yet. Circuit Court in Josephine. There is nothing of any importance on the Circuit court docket in Josephine county. It is understood the case of the State vs. J. J. More, for larceny in which a new trial was granted, is to be transferred from Josephine to Douglas county. Good Work. Road Supervisor L. Shideler has taken out all the old wood en culverts on the road between Lacy's and Van Dyke's and replaced them, eight in number, with stone culverts. It is a sensible aud permanent work and the example should be followed wherever practicable. Pine Colt. We saw on Saturday a "Scamperdown" colt, belonging to Frank Ball, two years old in June, that for form and action is, without ex ception, the finest colt we have seen in Southern Oregon. He shows blood, .unmistakably, and will no doubt prove with training to be as fast as his sire. Prompt Settlement. Mr. J. Nu- nan, agent for the "State Investment," settled tho loss incurred by Jesse Houck of Ashland by the lato fire at that plac", ou Monday. Hie amount ' allowed, -?600, was quite satisfactory, there was no bickering or vexations or delay. Insure with Nuuan aud keep your money at home. Sirs. P. P.

Call and be convin ced. She expects to be ready for bus iness by next Saturday. Challenge. I hereby challenge any and all foot racers in Jackson, Joseph ine and Lake counties, to run from eighty to one hundred yards any time between now and the 5th of July, for one hundred dollars and upwards, a forfeit of fifty dollars to be put up by June 1st Henry Mensor. We suppose the above is authorita tive enough to suit the the "Times." Singular Circumstance. Jake Pence, of Steamboat, killed a deer last week and on opening the animal found in it a white fir limb, over a foot long and as large as a broom stick. The limb had passod through the animal's liver, and when found it was close to one side of its heart. The wood, which was quite smooth, had evidently been ji"uefxr,!eBffatV'Corsuw'l.w)nk penetrated it while jumping a log. Bonded. The owners of the old Fowler ledge, at Steamboat, have made ' B. F. Dowell trustee, with full power to incorporate, which will be done next montli. About 5300,000 was taken -from a rich pocket in this ledge but the rock which was lying in a horizontal position broke abruptly off and the Jcdge was lost. A tunnel has been started by tho owners, James Hen! and Richard Cook, to strike the ledge at a creater depth. Acquitted. The persons arrested for an alleged assault on D. W. Wilbee at a school meeting on Applegate, came to i town on Thursday and tho trial was 1 set for next day. Four of the number H, Jones, Manly Rexford, Blake Ball dwin, John McDaniel, were tried by a jury in Justice Huffer's court on Fri day, and the evidence being very slight and more against the accuser than the Lccused they were promptly acquitted, lie complaint against the others, Wm . ranis, John Loomin, Wm.

McFadden, of Apple- gate, was in town Monday. He says the news from Briggs and Silver creek is very encouraging and that the crops on Applegate look very promising. Our description of the family of Mr. James Savage, down on Rogue river, has gone the rounds and comes back to us in the "New York Illustrated Times." Advertibe in the Sentinel. James A. Cardwell was so happy on learning that he was "grand pa" that he distributed presents among his friends. The presents were handsome office rules with the brand of the Fire man'a Fund Ins. Co., for which Mr, Cardwell is agent. The Jacksonville Brass band will give a party at Yeit Shutz' Hall on the evening of May 1st Tickets only one dollar, persons being at liber ty to procure their sppuer whereever they chose. Frank Ennis threatens to "duck" some editor for exposing his telephonic arrangments. He remarked that his "Hollyhcck" never says hash but yells out "refreshments" in the most lady like manner. We regret to note that Thos. Dews, an old citizen of this county, is very ill at his residence on Applegate and that there is little or no hope of his recov ery, his disease being softening of the brain. We are informed that Messrs. Hay mond fc Magruder of Rock Point will soon commence the erection of a safe and substantial, bridge across Rogue river at that point, and intend to finish it as soon as possible. It is said that a new set of hinges have been ordered for the penitentiary. The door has been opened so often "BinceThayer was made Governor, for the egress of pardoned convicts, that the hinges are worn out Read the notice of Mr. J. H. Penu, who desires to dispose of his real and personal property. He has a very de sirable residence, with considerable val uable fruit, and some fine young stock which can be had very cheap. A Washington dispatch of the 18th says: Henry it. jvincaw, or uregon, employed for a number of years in Sec retary Gorham's office, was notified to day that his place will be hereafter filled by another Oregonian named Gilfry. The "Times" has made the astound ing discovery that a hole has been burn- de in one of the cells of the jail. We will inform that enterprising journal that the hole was burned nearly two years since, and the circumstance near ly forgotten. The Spring has been very back ward in the highlands along Big and Li;tle Butte creek in consequence of the late cold rains. No gardening has vet bean done and it will be some time before the ground is in condition for the plow. Wo had not the pleasure of attend ing the last entertainment given by the Amateurs on Saturday evening, but hear it spoken of in terms of general satisfaction, every one connected with it. having done credit to. thawlypii. The receipts were 571.00. The murderers of Mrs. Hagar are all caught. If they are to be punished it must be by hanging as it is useless to send convicts to the Penitentiary under the benignant administration of Gov. Thayer. He thinks it is wicked to restrain people of their liberty. Some disparaging statements having been made here against "Ophir" his owner publishes the most conclusive affidavits of responsible parties in Chico regarding his qualities. This valuable horse should have at least a fair show and falsehoods circulated altout him will only add to his popular ity. The Yreka "Union," noticing Henry Mensor's challenge, says there is ayouth over in Siskiyou that would run if the stakes were an object, say about two thousand a side. Raise it to two mil lion, Bro. Burrows, and although not much on the run we will give your youth a rattle, as Henry declines Siskiyou county. Postmaster Helman, of Ashland, has been instructed to find a responsible party and re-let the mail contract on the route between Ashland and Lake view. There have been twenty-three failures in the connection reported by P. M. Helman, and many more from the. other end of the line. The resignation of Judge Harding of the third District, under the attacks of the "Bourbon press," is unmistaka ble yet the unscrupulous sheets contin ue to demand his "resignation." Save your powder, gentlemen, the Judge has plenty of resignation but none to spare, and will hold the fort till the end of his term. Democrats generally do. A letter just received from Ex-Senator Mitchell gives the information that service on route 44,150, between Jack sonville and Crescent City, via Waldo, has been increased from two to three trips per week. There is no increase of the schedule time and it is doubtful whether Mr. Garrett, the present con tractor, will perform the increased ser vice, as it would result in loss to him. Messrs. W. A. Hamilton and J. K. Johnson, of Crescent City, are expected here shortly to examine the route be tween here and that place and ascertain the feeling of our people with regard to the construction of a narrow guage railroad. From all the information we have the route to Crescent City is more procticable than that to Ellensburg, and probably little difference in the respect ive harbors. J1IMVG XOTES. The Centennial, at Willow Springs, is yielding over an ounce to the day to the hand and running three hands. John Bolt is piping in his claim on Farris gulch, in rich ground. Pieces worth three and four dollars are fre quently picked up. J. T. Layton is running two pipes now with jdenty of water. One in Farris and one in Whisky gulch. His prospects are very good. Y. S. Ralls, of Willow Springs, cleaned up last week an average of four and a half ounces per day for the work of three hands, ground sluicing. Our mining population is still busy at work, and from the general cheerful ness among them we judge their pros pects are excellent. We will record all returns that we may be permitted to with pleasure. Mr. Sol. Abrahams, of Roseburg, left for his home on Friday night k. He says work on the Grand .Pdegate ditch will be pushed ahearjpfWyis possible now and that the ToBTpahv ex pect to be piping in about six weeks. Gin Len, the boss China-man of Lit tie Applegate, cleaned up on Wednes day after twenty-one day's run and washed out one hundred and fifty-eight ounces of dust, worth 52,677 00, or 5127 yer day. Len has plenty of such ground left. The very late and continued rains are a blessing to this section, keeping up the supply for mining purposes and assuring the heaviest prop of grain ever raised in this valley. In fact, the only question next fall will be what are our fanners to do with their grain Public Grounds. A movement is on foot to buy out and improve new grounds for pic nics and celebrations, which we hope will be successful. The grounds are beautifully situated on Walker creek, west of Hon. J. N. T. Millers, with shade, ample water and a beautiful sloping lawn. The owners of the property, Messrs. Beekman and Linn, not only offer to guarantee its perpetual use but generously offer to assist in trimming the trees and clear ing the ground. About four hundred feet of pipe will be required to con vey the water from Walker's creek for a fountain, and it is thought the Dramatic Association will donate the funds received for tho late entertain ments or give another for the purpose of purchasing pipe. Tho grounds in time will make a fine park, anil they are already much more desirable than Bybee's grove. They will be approach ed by a road along Mr. Miller's line, west of cemetery hill, the distance be ing about the same as to Bybee's, and the road will be free from the choak ing dust that takes away the pleaure of going to the present place of public resort. A number of over citizens vis ited the locality yesterday and express ed surprise that it had not been thought of before. Silver Spooks. About a year ago some of our people received a circular from the Royal Mfg. Co., 258 Broad way, New York, ofiering a splendid ar ticle of silver spoons for a nominal sum per set. Two parties sent orders and got about the worth of their money. Then a large number sent orders, ac companied with the money, and were informed that the pressure was so tre mendous that they would have to wait Then they waited and for months- nd months they waited in vain. It is thought that when Ben Butler return ed to the Democracy he made another spoon raid and cleaned the Royal Mf j institution out and the orders can not be filled. If our people will continue to nibble at offers of "something for nothing" they should get the fipt bite or expect to be victimized. Wreck or tiie Great Enprinuc y?R mrn wwi, tbr.t. tt.mm- ship Ureat Jsepublic, plying ii:;ween Portland and San Francisco, st: nek on Saturday night while crossing he Co lumbia bar on her upward trij . She went to pieces on Sunday, and v nfortu nately ten lives were lost, the! vessel and cargo being a total loss. The car rying capacity of this steamer was im mense, she having brought oyer one thousand passengers to Portland a few weeks since. She was an old vessel and probably unable towithstan'-l what a better vessel would have lived through. It is not probable that our merchants have sustained any iiss as they usually ship by the old licrt. Eagle Point is one of the most beautifully situated valleys- in this county and it is rapidly improving. It now contains two stores, a flouring mill, two blacksmith shops, one elegant church building and many neat resi dences. Several new buildisgs will be constructed during the coming Sum ... . .. mer. Deer are more numerous in" the hills and mountains along the source of Big Butte creek than they have been for several years, A California Refugee.-A sad, de jected man arrived in Jacksonville the other day by "walker's" line. Weary and footsore he drifted into Dillon's and placing his chin in the palms of his dirty hands he set his elbows on the bar and peered wistfully into the kind face of the host. "Barkeep" he said mournfully, "Im a refugeel" "A refu gee'' asked Mat. "Yes a -wanderer and in a bad dilemma, remarked the vis itor in a hollow whisper. "Its got two horns" he continued, "the horn of plenty and in a horn, and that's what's the matter." "Cheer up old fellow" Said Mat as he passed the bottle to the mel ancholy stranger "and explain." "Dont talk about the nectar of the Gods'' re marked the tramp as he poured down a brimmer of pure corn juice, "thats good enough for a refugee." "I'm a refugee" he said again, "a California capitalist; I'm fleeing from the new constitution; it's awful severe on cap italist You see our bullion is all locked up, and when we travel we're kind of short yes its awful on mon- ried men! Tender-foot pai(flexhaus ted. "Barkeep" he murmured pathetic- ly, "Im a capitalist in trouble, couldn't vou set me up once more and give a distressed banker a start while he seeks some spot where his coin will be se cure from villainous tax gatherers? "The host "set em up." The Spring blossom brightened on the capitalist's nose and as he vanished sucking the ragged moustache that had been dipped in the delicious beverage, Mat wondered if the adoption of the new constitution in California would really drive many of her capitalists into Oregon. Churches of the Northwest. From the "Pacific Rural Press" we gather the following religious informa tion: The Baptist convention of the North Pacific coast embraces six asso ciations with a membership of 3,454. The Catholics, Diocese of Oregon City, claims a population of 20,000, and the Diocese of Nesqually, (Washington Territory) has a population of 12,000. The Congregationalists have a member ship of 996 with 28 preaching stations in this State and Washington Territo ry. The Jews -have only one syna gogue in this State and none in Wash ington Territory. The society, al though not very large, is in a prosper ous condition. The Oregon Conference of the M. E. Church in this State num bers 3,798 members a,nd the Columbia Rivpr ConfprPTicp; bi n Tnr"nb":b?p. ra 1,714. The Presbyterians Synod of tho Columbia have twenty churches and 1,371 members, the second Presby tery of Puget Sound has seventeen churches with 768 members, and the third Presbytery of Southern Oregon has seven churches numbering 193 mem bers. The United Presbyterians have six churches in this district. The Pro testant Episcopal Church has thirty- tour churches in this diocese with a membership of 883. In addition to this the Seventh Day Adventists have seven churches, the Unitarians seven and the Universalists five in this dis trict. Eoyptiax Cork We have been presented with an ear of Egyptian corn raised on the ranch of George Jackson in this county. The seed was original ly brought to the United States from the Egyptian catacombs, where the germ had been preserved for thousands of years and it is said to be exceedingly prolific, yielding as much as eight bushels per acre, ihe specimen we have very much resembles a "head" of broom corn' out he-grsjn has no per ceptible husk and makes very s?eet and palatable hominy without a lye processv We have tried the hominy and find it delicious and superior to Indian corn. It is worth the attention of our farmers as it is said to do well on dry ground. Seed can be procured at Ryan's. JtosEcjutfiOTfVxrSSSSJ luiii a private letter received from a gentle man at Kerbyville we publish the following items: Dan Hunt and Mr. Delemater were prospecting for a new trail to Silver creek from "Red Dog." A considerable amount of money has been taken out on "Red Dog" this Spring in a very quiet way, as the miners there do not want any rush. The rush to Silver creek from all parts of the country still continues, Mr. Ry der of Kerbyville having just returned from that camp. .aiAY amy festivities. A very nice programme has been agreed upon by the managers of the May day pic, nic The school children are to meet at the court house at 9;30 A. m. where a May Queen will be crowned, and the children will walk in procession along California and Oregon streets to Bybee's Grove, each carrying a boquet of their own selection, and preceded by the band- There will be a basket pic-nic at the grove and appropriate exercises, musio, singing, tc, and prizes will be offered for tho winners in various games. Everybody is invited to par ticipate, THE KLAH.1TII9. We have received several letters from Lake county asking us to protest against the proposed removal of the Klamaths. One concludes at follows: "We don't want any more1 Indian wars out here, and we will have one sure if any attempt is made to remove the Klamaths; all their land is not worth the life of one white settler and it is against our best interests to take them away. If Grover and Slater are go ing to disturb tho peace of this county without any benefit to us the people out here will wish they had elected somebody else. How do your people in the valley like the idea of losing their market as the Post will go tool' We have entered our protest against the removal of these Indians. We have done so because it would be in human, would produce war and would be a violation of good faith with that tribe. The last argument of the cor respondent, while potent, is not worth much if weighed against the plans and ntercsts of. politicie ha , . COST OF IIOMU KDICATIOX. That the patrons of our public school may compare the cost of education at home with the cost of education in oth er places, we present the following sta tics. The figure? in the table give the cost of education, at the places set op posite, for each pupil of the average number belonging to the public schooh tluring the past year: San Francisco 38.78 Boston 31.40 Springfield, Mass 30.39 St Louis 30.12 New York 29.38 Pittsburg 25.12 Cincinnati!' 2 1.34 Portland, Or 23.20 Columbus 22.18 Cleveland 20.72 Chicago 20.06 Detroit 18.62 Jacksonville, Or 11.84 Our citizens who recognize the high standard and efficiency of our own good school will hardly grumble at the cost of its maintainance when they un derstand that it is only one third the cost of a public school in San Francis co. Jackson County Horses. This county excclls in the mattar of fine stock and has already established quite a reputation in this line. Since the importation of the Percheron stock in to this county by W. C. Myer that gentleman and others interested in the breedim; of tinTscock uXte sold forty- five Percheron horses for the sum of 513,375 or an average of about 295 each. These horses were all taken out of the county and are now scattered over the entirecost. The colts sired by Penniger's Mike, owned by Jas. A. uaruweu oi tuu place, malce even a better; showing than this, as five of his colts Barney Flanders, Selim, Dick, Major, and Tamposn sold for 50,500 and five others brought S2,200. Be sides this C. W. Kaiiler has a four year oia nuey ot tins stocK lor which he has just refused an offer of 1,000. We have a number of other fine blood ed stations in this county, among which might be mentioned Scamperdown, owned by Booth it Clongh, and the trotting horse Sir Walter, owned by Geo. W. Stnhenson, and Ophir, the property of S. L. Daniels. Scamper down and Sir Walter have a number of fine, promising young colts that will all bring good prices when they are older. Ophir has no colts in this val ley, having only been brought to this county last Fall, but had an excellent reputation in California from where he was imported. o N Real Estate Transactions The followieg. transactions in real estate have been reebsded since the last ixsuo of the Sentinel Fanny Pelling to Wmiapley, 100 amyn.

Dr. Ajken was called and performed amputation on Friday night, and although Mr. Hess is over seventy-five his recovery is not uncer tain.
