men are never sick a day in their lives,
never have any corns or toothache,
their potatoes never rot, the bugs never

corn and beans, their babies never cry
in the night, and, most wonderful of
all their wives never scold."

county during 1879, the work being
done by contract with the lowest bid
ders: Sardine creek S1,000, Galls
creek S725, Birdsey creek 5G20, Elk
creek 480, (this bridge destroyed by a
freshet) Tho bridges are all covered

freshets will not have to be replaced
for many years.
Renewed Hope. The appointment
tf Col. Boss as Road Supervisor for
his district ww an excellent one. The
Col. lives beyond the "Hanley" hill
nnd there is now great hope that his
proverbial energy will be directed tow
ards the improvement of the road over
the hill tor las own convenience in
' Tioitinc to town. If the Col. ''goes
back" on the general bpimonof his in
dustry and public spirit he will hear
from us.
'Child Bitten. On Saturday .. )
Henry, a little three year old child of
John Orth, was severely bitten by a
Vicious dog. Fortunately John Miller
Saw the dog attack the child just in
tho rear of his store and rescued it, but
not until its upper lip ahd lower jaw
Jiad received some ugly wounds. The
dog was promptly shot, the owner
Cohn, making no objections. A child
of L. Solomon's was bitten by the
same dog a year since and it bhould
have been killed then.
Cow Stories. The Yreka "Union
relates a somewhat fishy story of a
cow, that ate a keg of- salt maikerel,
in front of the bakery in Yreka lately,
An Oregon exchange tells of one that
ate two pounds of nails, and a 1 loi '
gold watch with which to time the di
gestive process. One belonging to Mr.
'Bryan of Waldo has been eating five
dollar pieces; but the worst we have
heard of is one in Jacksonville that
swallowed a small grindstone. She is
said to be looking around for another,
so as to enable her to grind her food
better as her teeth are poor.
Sensible Dog. Last week some of
our young men, who have the fear of
labor continually before their eyes,
amused themselves by attaching an
oyster can to a dog's appendage. It
Was a total failure. The dog "larfFed,"
sat down on the sidewalk and looked
up as if he wanted some one to wag
the tail for him. The boys hooted and
yelled to scare him, but the sagacious
animal sat the stiller and at lastbne of
the disgusted party lelievcd tho dog of
his attachment with the remark that he
"had a darned tight more .sense tian
the whole crowd."
Cax it be Thus? We fear we will
liave to weaken on the pure and disin
terested character of Bro. Nickell's pa
triotism as we hear a loud whisper that
be is after an important county ofhee.
This may account for the way he
frowns upon scramblers for office and
explain the relish with which the
"Times" cracks the party whip. We
arc ashamed of our neighbor, however,
as his mission has seemed so lofty; that
it would appear impossible to turn his
attention from the "undying princi
ples" and fix it upon the "flesh pots"
for a single moment.
Report or Grand Jury. The
Orand Jurv empauneled for tho present
term of Circuit Court made the follow
ing report :
We the Grand Jury have examined
the county buildings and report the
county records plain, neat and well
kept The jail is in good order. The
County Hospital has the appearance of
leing well kept and comfortable, with
five patients; would recommend a little
mere cleanliness in the premises. The
Court House is both uncomfortable
and inconvenient to do the business of
the county in and recommend one as
soon as the county is able.

ing and it will probably bo completed
to-night and the order ushered into ex
istence with about thirty members.
The "Enterprise" complains bitterly
because its Portland cotemoraries ap
propriate it's items without credit. Go
s.ow brother; we have-ceased complaint
on this score long ago nnd always feel
flattered when the big, wibe editors find
anything in the Sentinel worth steal
ing.
We hear of an unsuccessful attempt
made by two young men at Phoenix
to abduct a couple of young-countiy
girls, on pretense of taking them to a
dance. They were foiled, but the at
tempt was no less discreditable, and if
we had sufficient proof we would give
names.
The advance in the price of printing
paper has caused a corresponding in
crease m the price of many of the

Mr. Evans of Lake county, informs
us '.hat all the country West of Drews
Valley is covered with snow and the
outlook for stock any thing but flatter
ing. It is now feared that in Langell
Vulley ut least one-half of the stock
will perish as hay is getting scarce and
the worst season is not passed yet
Vancouver "Independent:" Company
F, 21st Infantry, Capt Riley, now at

of sheep-owners met at Williams on the
21st of January and organized a club,
which is called the Antelope Valley
Club, for the purpose of offering a
bounty for coyote scalps. They asses
sed each 1000 sheep 10, and offered
15 for each coyote killed or destroyed
on the range of any member of the club.
A Grand Jury has at last been found
with spirit enough to condemn the
Court House. The building is really
a disgrace to this rich county and
must give strangers a poor opinion of
the enterprise and public spirit of our
population. If the people do not de
sire to build another we presume that
"on a pinch" the courts could be held
in the open air in pur present "Ital
ian" climate.
One of the most portly and dignified
of the Mormon bishops was lately seen
running in a Salt Lake street, closely
pursued by a woman who whacked him
with a broomstick whenever she got
within reaching distance. She was the
first and only wife of Brother Jones,
and she had heard the Bishop advising
her husband to practice the precepts of
the Church by
spouse or two.

Work in the Willow Springs camp
which was boing interrupted by scarci
ty of water, has received 'a new start
from the recent rain.
Supt. Klippel of the Squaw Lake Co.
i- now running day and night He
says the dirt is being moved very rap
idly and apprehends no more interrup
tions. We are glad to hear that the claim
of Messrs Brown on Althouse in Jose
phine county is again in working order,
70,000 feet of lumber has been used in
the new flume. This claim embraces
some of tho richest ground in, that
county.
Sturgis, Beckner fc Co. of Jackass,
have already moved twice' as much
dirt as they did during the whole of
last season. Their prospect for a very
large clean up, they say, is good, as the
ground is equally as good as" that which
avpraged 8 per day last Winter to the
hand.
The Applegate Gravel Mining Co.
have made a clean up which is said to
be. very encouraging.-ithnir gravel pay
ing twenty-five -cents tb7jsnbio yard.
Some difficulty is experienced from lack
of dump, which tho company think can
be avoided by tho use of a hydraulic
elevator.
Eckelson, Chappel t Co., of the Star
Gulch claim have made a partial clean
up, eight flume boxes realizing sev
enty ounces, (.$1,120.) Thiscompany
have about 300 feet of rock race yet
untouched, and it is probable they have
not obtained over one fourth of the
gold washed out this season.
Happy Camp From A. W. Ilaw
kctt we learn that a clean up was made
in the claim of Reeves & Co. after a
short run, which amounted to 5,000.
Richardson of Happy Camp, owning
the richest claim in that locality had
just started piping. Ferguson it Fra
zier were working two giants with a
force of ten men, their claim yielding
an average of 200 per day. Banker
Hill, (Temple it Co.), is paying rich.
Wingate hill worked by the same own
ers is panning well. Woods' claim and
that of Bailey, Camp it Co. about
twelve miles up the Klamath are both
paying rich.
Little Folks Party. The party
given to the little folks on Friday eve
ning last was a real pleasant affair.
Some of the little ladies had chosen
partners who were sliding down the
hill of life and their apitearancc in the
"grand march" was quite a contrast.
The performance of the youngsters was
very credit-able, showing that they were
not unfamiliar with the mysteries of the
quadrille or deficient in etiquette, and
they all enjoyed the dance with evident
relish. The supper was a credit to the
older heads who managed the affair,
and the musicians, Profgjcott, Bilger
andMr. Brown, furn!ofeiIndo7iHir
article as if the ball had been attended
by the highest dignitaries in the .State.
Spectators were numerous, parents en
joying the party juf-t as well as the
children and before the hour of closing
12 p. m. many who could not claim
to be of "tender" ace had joined in the
festivities, The number of tickets sold
was forty -nine and if it wcs not a finan
cial success the children don't care.
Legion of Honor. Judging from
the following-programme the public
may expect another of those enjoyable
entertainments for which Jacksonville
has becomo famous. Those who desire
to g3t a seat at the Court House next
Friday night had better go early. The
exercises are to be in the following or
der: 1. Music by the Brass Band; 2.

The Skagit Mines. We are per
mitted to make the following extract
from a letter to "Jack" McClean; dated
Seattle, Feb. 11th, from parties that
left Jacksonville about the 1st: "Wo
are going to start in the morning, our
outfit did not cost as much- as we ex
pected, all rejKirts are favorable, we go I
m a skin about seventy miles trom tiio
steamer landing. There will be a num
ber go up with us." Accounts given
by the Seattle papers are also very fa
vorablo but generally state that the
mines are yet covered with snow and
we imagine the surface prospects must
be rather chilling.
"Jenkins" in the "Journal" gives a
graphic account of the Leap Year ball
in Yieka. The following gentlemen
were among the transformed cele
brities: Wilhelmina Jerusha Wallis,
a pleasing and fair blonde, dressed in
rich evening costume, swallow train,
North of England cloth, electrified a
host of admirers in the intricate mazes
of tlie several dances. , .Albertina Bur
rows, a beautiful blonde, was faultless
ly attired in an evening suit of rich
material, in the style of Norton the

hair none, (cost too much.) . . . Rober
tiria Nixon, a whitewashed and rouge
tinted brunette of attractive appear

and "Union." ,
THE SITUATION' IX LAKE COL.VTV.
A. P. Armstrong, now of Linkville,
writing to his parents under date of
Feburary 8th, furnishes the following
interesting items:
We still have quite cold weather,
and the ground is pretty well covered
with snow, though it is melting con
siderably; ten iLys such weather as
we are now having would take most of
it off. Wo can hardly hope for so long
a spell of sunshine. In case it storms
at all, it will be snow. We have no
rain; it has not mined two hours all
Winter; our altiutdc is so high that
our portion seems to be snow, though
I am told to expect rain in the Spring.
The streams are still frozen, and some
stock die by breaking through the ice
in trying to get water.
Stock have begun to die in earnest;
no mistake now. Bybee, living on
Tule Lake, thirty miles from here, has
already lost half of his. Carr, on
Clear Lake, fifty miles from here, has
lost some 8,000 or 10,000 worth of
fine cattle. All cattle men will lose
from 50 to 75 per cent. Many who
have hay cannot save their stock, as
they are not fixed for feeding. Those
that do not need feed get most because
they can contend for jt,
Some hay stacks nre entirely cover
ed with snow drifts. Horses seem to
fare very well. Many good judg
es of such matters say that stock that
is not fed at all looks better than that
fed. The trouble is that feeding 1ms
been going on since Jan. 1, and the
cattle rely entirely upon this and will
not browse.
Seybert Nelson broke through the
ice on Upper 'or Big Klamath hist
Thursday while attempting to lead his
horse across, and was drowned. IJis
body was recovered and he was buried
to-day, has no relatives known in this
country. His having considerable
property secured for him a good burial.
Many crossed on the ice during the
Winterjbut it is now becoming rotten.
Needed Correction. A scrap of
Southern Oregon history just publish
ed in the Dalles "Mountaineer," with
regard to an occurrence alleged to have
taken place here in 1855, is untrue and
should be corrected. The "Mountain
eer" states that a temperance lectures,
Miss Pellet, together with the au
dience, was driven by the- Captain of
Company A, out of tho Court House.
This is an aspersion on the courage of
as brave a community as ever lived
and the gallantry of as true manhood
as Oregon ever saw. The real facts
are that Captain Smiley Harris, after
wards forced out of the service for cow
ardice, did while intoxicated, attempt
to interrupt Miss Pellet, but he was
promptly put down, and the lady at
tentively and respectfully listened to
until the close of her lecture. There
are many now living in Jacksonville
-svhoalteiulfijLthelF9TW-and pronounce
tho "Mountaineer's" statement grossly
exaggerated.
The Yreka "Union" utters a solemn
warning to parties in Etna, who con
template an entertainment for the pur
pose of buying an organ, remarking
thus: "Look at Yreka with its orgnn
wounds still unhealed ! Look at Jackn
sonville still in the midst of the terrible
struggle 1" We add: Look at Albany,
where the devil entered the church, in
the shape of a gaily ornamented organ
with fifteen stops, with his tail hid bo
hind the gilded pipes; where he played
his pranks till the choir was "burated"
and the congregation smashed up and
every spark of true religion stamped
out l.ook at Walla Walla, where the
horrid nightmare of a similar instru
ment, with a little devil hid under
every key, still haunts the distressed
community and hushes mention into a
deprecatory whisper! No organ in
ours! IS o! not even a barrel-organ for
that contains tho biggest devil of all!
We glean the following from the
"Examiner (Lakeview): J. H. Hoff
man is acting Register of the Land Of
fice during Mr. Evans' absence. . . . We
hear that Capt. Jas. Barnes' valuable
jack, worth 1,000, is likely to die
from tho prevailing epidemic among
horses . . . .The western mail carrier got
lost in the storm Tuesday night be
tween Ballard's and Brobanck's on the
other side of the Slash and did not get
here until yesterday morning about 9
o'clock. From H. L. Webb, mail
carrier on the northern route, we leani
that A. R. Chase of Sikan valley lost
six head of fine horses last week. The
animals were out on the range and got
caughkin the deep snow. When found
by Mr. Chase they wero all in a deep
drift of snow, dead.
Ox A Spree Kate-shin, the Alas
kan Indian who has been visiting this,
city for some weeks past, made, during
his stay here, rapid strides toward civil
ization. Within the last few jlavs he
was locked up twice in the city jail for
being drunk. It took his last half ea
gle to pay for his fine Tuesday night,
and he is now on his way home at
Fort "Wrangle, where he is a stalwart
pillar of the Mission Church. Chief
Shakes, who accompanies him, managed
to keep sober. Standard.
Seriously III. We regret to say
that tho wife of Rev. D. A. Crowell is
quite sick at the Parsonage. Friends
are excluded from her room and her
recovery is thought very hopefu1.
The afflicted family was called on, only
a few months since, to part with one of
its dearest members Little Belle and
hare the .sympathy of this community
in the present trial.
Were the proposition to chose Presi-
dentidl Electors by Congressional dis
tricts applied in all the States, t would
pass the sagacity of the oldest politic
ian to predict the result of the next
election; it would, however, be more
likely to fairly represent tho will of the
people than our present method of
electing.

Literary Exercises. A literary
department of the Young Men's Read
ing Booms Association has lieeu organ
ized, to be known by the cuphoneous
name of "lhe Aurelian. Rules and
regulations governing the same have
been adopted, and the necessary offi
cers, to serve for six weeks, have been
elected. As a new feature of this de
partment we notice tho introduction of
tho female element, who are eligible to
membership in this society. This ' is
as it should be, and augurs well for the
future usefulness of tho Young Men s
Association. Tho opening literary ex
ercises of the Aurelian will commence
at 7 o'clock on Monday night, Feb. 23,
at tho Club Room, and tho following
"bill of fare has been announced as
the basis of the evening's exercises: 1.
Lecture by R. A. Miller; 2. Essay,
Chas. Wolters; 3 Recitation, Miss Ella
Prim; 4. Debate: Resolved, "That the
Indian has suffered more wrongs at the
hands of the American people than the
negro." Leaders: Affirmative, Robt.
Wilkinson, Negative, Wm. L. Bilger,
each to be aided in the discussion by
five assistants; 5. Censor's report
Valuable HorseGone. Card well's
Mike was taken this morning, by Jas.
Sutherlin of Siskiyou county, to Scott
valley, where he will make the season.
Alike was sired by old Vermont; his
dam was a thoroughbred "Whip" mare,
brought here by old Dr. Overbeck.
We regret that Jackson county has
lost one of its most valuable horses
but our neighbors across the Siskiyous
will be gainers.

It is gratifying to notice the mae
nificent generosity of the Amwiot
peoplo towards tho sufferine Irui,
Tho "Herald" fund has reached 3173,
000. The Nevada hank in San Fran
cisco has given 35,000, including
510,000 from the private purse of Mr.
Mackey, and from nil part of thi
country is hea.rd a prompt response to
the nppeals for aid. Gladly as th
starving people will receive thuso corn
trihutions, It must be humiliatino
to them to accept foreign charity.
Ihere is no race on God's earth more
spirited, more full of generous impulses
than the "Celt," and it is a proverbial
trait in his character that he would
rather give than receive. Under theso
circumstances it must bo galling to a.
people who have descended from Kings
to see their children starving from tho
effects of misrule, Charity for Ireland
cannot lost always, nor jlo we belio
will they always ask or accept it, b'ui
the generous sympathy of Amerl:
will increase the emigration of th
Irish peoplo to a land where thero is
bread for all and to spare. Let theuj.
The Democrats at Washington, ac.
cording to the "Tribune" corruspon,

to elect somebodv: and sennnil tn talm

of Government policy they care noth
