REMEMBER T1IK Sharon: The meaning of the large mort gages last month given by Sharon is that Mr Sharon has been Lite debts which amounted to over $1000000 Mr Sharon is to keep Mr prop erty which the latter deeded to him in trust on the day of his death He is said to have Wm Sharon in a pecuniary sense If he did Mr Sharon has not forgotten the obliga tion He has most nobly stepped in and paid oil his late friend's debts Intrepretation Tho San ran cisco Real Estate thus interprets the large mortgages recently given by Just after the close of the war the Baltimore Ohio Railroad Company commenced relaying tho track of the branch of that road from Stephen son's depot to Winchester in the val ley of Virginia Upon its comple tion to Winchester quite a crowd as sembled to see the first train arrive Later in the day an old darkey was noticed examining very minutely the locomotive It wasat the time stand ing motionless on the track although tho engineer Mas in the cab polish ing tho brass work Over and over the darkey went about that engine Every portion was closely inspected inally he drew off to one side as though to take a final view of it then it was that something caught his eye which had escaped him before It was up on top of the boiler abpnt midway between the cab and the smokestack he walked down the side again and gazed at it long and earnestly it was not satisfactory he must see it closer tho engine was still and tho idea of climbing up struck him and forthwith suited the action to tho thought ho reached up and took hold of the foot board put one foot on the driving wheel and the other on the piston and up he went The object happened to be along side of the whistle ho had leaned over by it wi his face close down when he was espied by tho engineer and a smile went over his counten ance at the sight and ho reached cautiously for the whistle rope Tho crowd held their breath and waited for tho fun Tho old ear was not six inches from the whistle Tho rope was pulled a piercing shriek pealed forth and all burst out in a roar When the whistle belched forth the old man threw up his hand fell backwards to ground where he lay motionless After the laughter had somewhat subsided some one went to where he was lying caught hold of him and gave him a shake He opened his eyes slowly looked around cautious ly and exclaim in a whisper she bust PRITCHARD Physician Surgeon and Accoucheur LAKE HOUSE Ueno Nevada WNhe undersigned Invites attention to hll largo Varied and Well selected stock which will be sold at low prices consisting in part of Standard Literature Biographical Historical and Scientific Works The New York Herald 'in an edi torial under the head of Consequences of the Late gives a list of Democratic and Re publican States with tho number of electoral votes to which each is en titled to show the present political situation as regards tho Presidential election The Democratic States are Alabama Arkansas California Connecticut Delaware lorida Georgia Indiana Kentucky Louisi ana' Maryland Mississippi New York New Hampshire Tennessee Texas Virginia and West Virginia with a total electoral vote of one hun dred and eighty eight The remain der are Republican States nineteen in all having total electoral vote of one hundred and eighty one This shows that the next Presidential election will be close and doubtful and one of the most exciting contests that has ever occurred in the history of our politics Judging from tho latest elections in all the States the the Democratic party would elect the next President by a majority of seven but that will bo easily wiped out if the Republicans carry Ohio next Oc tober the moral effect of the triumph three weeks in advance of a groat contest being worth at least fifty electoral votes to the party which shall carry the State The Repub licans have merely to keep what they secured last month to give them the ascendency in Ohio in October 1876 and carry off tho Presidential prize but if they lose that the election of a Democratic President would bo in evitable amt the tho that iqon the agreed facts of the case the judgment ot the Court below correctly entered in favor of the fendants Judgment affirmed There arc two times in a life when he eagerly scans the news once when he has been in an awtnl scrape and again when looking for a puff 27m large and well selectcd ltock SUGAR COEE RICE SYRUP CANNED RUITS AND VEGETABLES DRIED AND CANNED RUITS SUGAR CVRED HAMS BACON AND LARD LOUR CORN MEAL CRACK!

to the con struction of a clause sin Constitution words giving the right to alter or sued to corporations He claimed that railroads did not deny the right of the Legislature to control corpor ations created by it in their corpor ate capacity but when they passed beyond this and attempted to regu late freight and passenger rates itentered upon the domain of private rights A decision in this case

who are without mail facilities of any kind Nfuil ser vice has recently been ordered on tho route from Hot Springs in the upper end of Goose Lake Valley to Silver City Idaho bnt it still leaves the lower part of the valley without communication in any direction What the people want is direct com munication with the railroad By tho establishment of a mail route connecting at Hot Springs with the Silver City route and running south through the entire length of Goosh Lake Valley thence via of Dorris Bridge South ork of Pit River Madeline Plains Horse Lake and Willow Creek to Susanville where it would connect with a daily lino to Reno on the would af ford unbroken communication be tween Silver City and Reno The growing population of this northern country demands that such a route should be established There are thousands of people along the line of the route mentioned above who would be benefited and they should rouse themselves up and let their wants be known Begin at once and demand

in any proper sense of tho word nor docs the rule of the Church in regard to absentees contemplate any such case as mine My absence is an enforced one and is caused by tho crime of adultery committed
