The Week of Prayer.
The meetings being held in the
Methodist Church of this city these
evenings, in compliance with the
liance making this a week of prayer,
are moderately well attended, It
may be interesting to know that the
Evangelical Alliance was founded in
London, in 1846, in a meeting composed ef some eight ‘handred Christaitie—Episcopalians, Presbyterians,
Lutherans, Reformers, Moravians
and eti.ers, and including many of
the. most eminent divines;“préachers

Scotland, Ireland, Germany, France,
Switzerland, the United. States and

‘A party who came up from ‘the lower

— oe -He Mitthe--Wrong Bottle..
The Tidings says :Sunday morning James Keathley went to the
foupboard in-his-house~ for the —purbposé of taking a dose of ginger, but
through mistake got hold of the
-}laudanum bottle and drank nearly
an ounce, He was in bis room when
he took the drug and he fell to the
floor. . The noise of the fall attracted members of tue family, who rushing into the roon:, found Keathley
insensible on the floor. Drs. Jones
and Conn were summoned and they
applied the stomach pump and removed the poison. The rumor that
the dose was taken with suicidal intent is entirely incorrect, Mr.
Keathley had been in the habit of
taking laudanum, buton this oceasion had no intention of doing 80
and the drug was taken purely by
mistak e.
Not Jue Lawrence. _
Last Sunday evening Sheriff Carter received from G. W. Allen, City
Marshal of Napa, a telegram in
which the latter said he had under
arreata man answering to the description of Joe’ Lawrence who esesped from the county jail at. this
place on the tith of last August.
In his dispatch Marshal Allen gave
the prisoner’s height, weight, color
and texture of hair, and told of certain scars on his head and face, all
of which tallied with Lawrence's
appearance, Monday morning Under Sheriff Adams went to Napa to”
get the rutaway, but found that the
wrong man was in limbo and came
back last night empty-handed.

Flume and Railroad Combined.
Years ago, when the flume .was
built at Chico, a party levised a car
with grooved wheels funning on the
sideg‘6f the flume and paddies on a
water wheel reaching down into the
bottom of the trough. The running
stream turned the wheels by~acting
on the paddles, and the car was sent
upthe hilt, It proved little bettcr
than a mechanical toy, however, and
was soon abandoned. -The Carson
Appealsays Mr. Tobey and Captain
Rodgers have made a car on the same
p inciple, that runs up the flume so

This active work on the part of the
Boston parties looks as though they
meant business and really intended
to push this long talked of enterprise through te completion. “With
a railroad built. up the river past
this point to the Four Hills, and development of the immense bodies of
rich iron ore that exist in that section, Sierra couuty would double in
wealth and population in five years.
The star of our county is rising.” Lt
is possible that the sui'veyors on the
line of the:N; &'O. extension are’ in
the employ of the same parties and
that the present objective point is
the big iron mine spoken of, which
lies near Mohawk Valley.

The Pons Comet, which-had a sinyle tail in 1812, has a double one

Mr, Swift is positive

sunsets are not caused by earthquakes or volcanoes.

you will find your proposal for advertising accepted. I havé’all the
advertisements the Bulletin can well . .
carry, but recently we had an epidemic of chest and throat diseases,
and your medicine (Ammen’s Cough
Syrup)-was used in my family with
good results, though my faith in all
sorts of so-called patent medicines is
little indeed. That it did good in
this case, however, I believe, and for
that reason wi!l advertise it. If you
