There is an ordinance imposing a fine wpon-all-personsfound amoking.on the bridgé that’ crosses the Sacramento river at Red Blof.

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 end philanthropists from England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, France, Switzerland, the United.

He had slipped through the rear of it and skipped out with the door receipts and a coat belonging to .an attache of the Theatre. ~ — 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 What Makes a ‘‘Vag.” The statutes define a vagrant as ‘an idle and dissolute person, withogt visible or known means of living; who has the physical ability to work and who.does not use diligence to seek employnient; also.one-who frequents gambling rooms and solicits money or checks from the proprietor, bystanders or betters, and who has no other means of living than by money so obtained; also every lewd

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. > oe A Genuine Prize Fight. . According to the Times, Duteb: Flat is soon to have a genuine _prizefight. Two young men belonging to +he—beat—eireles—ofsociety—had_a } quarrel, and to settle it their friends proposed that they should fight according to the Marquis: Queensbury rules, with six ounce soft gloves, which was ayreed to. Then the friends of one party offered to bet that their man could” knock out his opponent in three rounds, which was accepted. Then th> principals agreed to wager $500 a side, which was agreeable to both, and the fight is to come. off ere long, for $1,000 The Comet and iis Effect. The Pons Comet, which-had a sinyle tail in 1812, has a double one pow, and Professor Swift, of Warner Observatory, thinks that the changes that the comet is undergoing as it approaches the sun furnish the matter. which comes into our atmosphere and \efracts the red rays. Mr, Swift is positive only in the negative—th +t the red sunsets are not caused by earthquakes or volcanoes. Phe Royat Planet. Jupiter is just now the most conspicuous object.in the evening sky.

Are your children. sickly? Give them Brown’s Iron Bitters. It will revive them. Qh, My Back! That's a commonexpres“son and has a world of meaning. How much suffering is summed up. in it. The singular thing about 1¢ is, that pain in the back is occasioned by so many things. May be caused by kidney disease, liver complaint, consumption, cold, rheumatism,dyspepSia,overwork, nervous debility, &c. Whatever the cause, don’t neglect it. Something is wrong and needs prompt — attention. No medicine has et been discovered that will ‘so quickly and surely: such diseases a3 Brown’s Iron Bitters, and it does this by: commencing at the foundation, and making the blood pure and rich. Wm. P. Marshall, of Logansport, Indiana,writes: “ My wife has for many years beeh troubled from pain in her back _. % > and general debility incident .to her sex. She has taken one bottle of Brown’s Iron Bitters,and I can truthfully say that she has-been so much benefited -that ‘she pronounces it the only remedy of many medi¢ines she has tried,” Leading physicians and clergymen use and recominend Brown’s Iron Bit‘ers.
