Advertising. Advertising is the great
est power in the world, and the latest
proof we have of this well known fact
happened in our town last Friday. In

tised the loss of a brace and bit.vvhich had
leen stolen from his .dop, and Saturday
morning he recovered it. While others
are losers by the return, of the property,
the advertiser, however is gainer. The
brace and bit. used by tho burglars in
making an entrance into Myers store and
lea l-ehind when thev departed, was the
one stolen from Willis, and we have no
doubt but what it would have been car
Tied off but for the advertisement.

Good Worps for thf. Home Paper.
The New "York limes says you might
nearly as well forget your churches, your
academies and school houses, as to forget
your local paper. It sjx;aKs to ten times
the audience that vour local minister does.
It is read eagerly each day and week from
beginning to end. It reaches you all, and
if it has a lower spirit and less wisdom
than a sermon, it has a thousand times
better chance at vou. Eying as it does on
every table in almost every house, you
owe to yourselves to rally liberally to its
support, and act from it as"able heightened
a cLaracter as you do from an educator in
your midst. It is in no sense beneath your
notice and care unless you yourself are
lieneath notice and care for it is your rep
resentative. Indeed, in its character, it is
the culmination of the inipprtance.interest
and well fare of all. It is the aggregate of
your own consequence, -and you cannot
ignore it without miserably depreciating
yourself.
Brno laws at Work. East Friday night
the store of Mr. John Myers was entered
by burglars and a small sum of money
and several other articles carried off. The
loss, so far as can be obtained, was: S25 in
dimes and quarters from the money draw
er, a gun and pistol belonging to J. li.
Howell, two coats and several yiairs of
pants. The entrance was effected by cut
ting a hole through the ceiling from the
room above the store, in (lie rear of the
building. No attempt was made to open
the safe. The only clue to the perpetrators
is the brace and bit left behind, which was
stolen from Willis' shop a short time ago.
The Sugar Test. Where there are rea
sons to Mispect that drinking water is con
taminated by sewage impurities, a con
venient test, known as the "sugar test"
may be applied. A half pint of water
should be placed in a clear, colorless glass
stojpcred bottle. Putin a few grains of
the lest white sugar, and expose the bottle
to the daylight in the .window of a warm
room. If the water is pure it should not
become turbid even alter a week's ex ins
ure. If it becomes cloudy and turbid there
is reason to believe your suspicions are
correct.

The Sacramento Record-Union con
tains a statement bf the rain fall at Sac
ramento for the past twenty-eight years.
The dryest season was 1850-1, when 4.71
inches of water fell. Tho next dry sea
son was in 180:3-4. when 7.S7 inches fell.
The fall of 1870-1, was 8.47, and in
187G-7, it was 0.40 inches. Tho season
succeeding the dry year of 1850-1, there
was a fall of 17.98 inches. After the
next dry time, viz: 1SG4-5, 22.S12 inches
fell, in 1S71-2, 24.052. The wettest sea
son in the twenty -eight was that of
1852-3, when 50.305 inches fell, and the
next damp ye r was in 1840-50, when
the fall was 30 inches. Wet years don't
always succeed dry ones, but the prob
abilities are in favor of a greater rain
fall after a dry season than a less.
TheWasliington correspondent of the
Boston Herald learns that Mr. Blaine
has announced to one or two per
personal friends that he ha3 no idea of
being a Presidential candidate in 1880,
because ho sees clearly that the Demo
crats will sweep the country in that
election; that he believes that tlxy
will elect a President who will sneenmb
to southern demands, and thus cause a
tremendous reaction in favor of the Re
publican party jrr the North and West.
He looks forward, therefore, to a restor
ation of the Republican party to power
in 1884, and intends, if possible, to be
the Republican candidate at that time.
A correspondent of t he Lakefiel J yetes,

that Petunia seed be planted among the

dust perfectly satisfactory. It was first

mixing one part cement, two lime, two
saw-dust, and five sharp sand, the saw
dust first being well mixed dry with the
cement and sand.

A Lottery 91an Arretted.
When taken before one of our San Francis
co judges it was ascertained he was giving
away prize packages which contained sam
ples of Donnolly's Yeast Powder and the
Judge remarked there was no game of chance
in that, it was a rtead sure thing and dismiss
ed the case nt. once. The Judge fiad tried it,
I mean the Yeast Powder.
A Fine Thine; for the Teeth.
Fragrant SOZODONT is a composition of
the purest, and choicest ingredients of the
Oriental vegetable kingdom. Every ingre
dient is well known to have a beneficial effect
on the teeth and gums. Its embalming or
antiseptic property and aromatic frairrance
makes it a toilet luxury. SOZOiMJNT re
moves all disagreeable odors from the breath
caused by catarrh, bad teeth, Ac. It Is en
tirely free from the injurious and acrid prop
erties of tooth pastes and powders which de
stroy the enamel. One bottle last six months.
Tlie Telephone Wai Tested
The other day over the extraordinary dis
tance of 210 miles. Don noily's Yeast Powder
agent was standing by and remarked, "one
million boxes of Donnolly's Yeast Powder
were consumed daily." Tho party on the
other end heard it and and answered "there's
millions in it." Donnolly's agent enquired do
you man the jKiwderor t hetelephone, "both"
was the answer. Just think of it talking to a
person 240 miles away.
