A SCARED PEDLAR. te ' On Monday afternoon, when the eclipse was at its most interesting stare, a Broad street family, mother, children, and servant girl, were consgregated on the side perch, smoked glasses in hand, and attention. eentred on the astronomical sight. They did not hear the front gate open. + But it did, and a pediar entered. He thé front walk, and turned at the corner of the house to reach a side door. It was then that the sun gazers burst upon his view: Iie stared at them for a moment, and ustonisitnent mingled with fear was depicted on his features. Then he whirled, and left the premises as fast as his legs could carry him. The amount of it was that the pedlar did not know there.was an eclipse going on, and seeing the people he had called upon engaged in making their crude observations, thought that a some kind of conspiracy against yin was being put up, came down BEECHER IS COMING, Tae mere aphonncement fn another column that Henry . Ward Beecher will deliver his great lecture entitled “Wastes and Burdebs of Society,” at the Theatre an this city on Tuesday, evening, Angast 20th, is a sufficient guarantee that the house} will be packed to its utmost capacity.

Sach discipline displays a°lack of ordinary good judgment, acocording tu the best way of tainking. Rone FUR THE LEAD, he als ha, who lives on the, Rough and Ready roid, three ities from this city, commenced last Spring to sink a shaft on his ranch! for the purposaof striking the main gravel lead on which are located:the Alta Hill; Godfrey, Union, and otber. good mines. He went down about 150 feet, avd then suspended op‘erations for the summer, In the fall he will begin to sink again, and will probably not have to run down: over fifty feet further -inorder to either strike the channel or drift for it, in which Jutter case.it is pretty certain he will uot be compelled to go many feet. After Mr. Hughes has devoted a few weeks more to this work, we age pretty confident he will revch the lead which is kuown to be a paying one. CLEANING THE JAIL Yesterday the prisoners were busily engaged in scrubbing and whitewashing the interior of the County Jail, and when the job is competed everything thereabouts will look as Bicely as could be wished. It will be a gratifying bit.of intelligence—to+ the taxpayers to know that this work; which previously cost the county $60 a year, is now all done by the inmates. The management of the jail bas of late been conducted with 4 strict view to economy, and the authorities who. trought about the change deserve great credit therefor. THE SUPERVISORS ADJOURN, At the seasion of the Board of Suef pervisors held on Monday, demands against the county to the atiount of $1,405.59 were allowed. The financial affairs of the: Trustees of Mooney Flat school district were investigated and foand correct, and further consideration thereof dismiesed.

A SCARED PEDLAR. te ' On Monday afternoon, when the eclipse was at its most interesting stare, a Broad street family, mother, children, and servant girl, were consgregated on the side perch, smoked glasses in hand, and attention. eentred on the astronomical sight. They did not hear the front gate open. + But it did, and a pediar entered. He thé front walk, and turned at the corner of the house to reach a side door. It was then that the sun gazers burst upon his view: Iie stared at them for a moment, and ustonisitnent mingled with fear was depicted on his features. Then he whirled, and left the premises as fast as his legs could carry him. The amount of it was that the pedlar did not know there.was an eclipse going on, and seeing the people he had called upon engaged in making their crude observations, thought that a some kind of conspiracy against yin was being put up, came down BEECHER IS COMING, Tae mere aphonncement fn another column that Henry . Ward Beecher will deliver his great lecture entitled “Wastes and Burdebs of Society,” at the Theatre an this city on Tuesday, evening, Angast 20th, is a sufficient guarantee that the house} will be packed to its utmost capacity.

Rone FUR THE LEAD, he als ha, who lives on the, Rough and Ready roid, three ities from this city, commenced last Spring to sink a shaft on his ranch! for the purposaof striking the main gravel lead on which are located:the Alta Hill; Godfrey, Union, and otber. good mines. He went down about 150 feet, avd then suspended op‘erations for the summer, In the fall he will begin to sink again, and will probably not have to run down: over fifty feet further -inorder to either strike the channel or drift for it, in which Jutter case.it is pretty certain he will uot be compelled to go many feet. After Mr. Hughes has devoted a few weeks more to this work, we age pretty confident he will revch the lead which is kuown to be a paying one. CLEANING THE JAIL Yesterday the prisoners were busily engaged in scrubbing and whitewashing the interior of the County Jail, and when the job is competed everything thereabouts will look as Bicely as could be wished. It will be a gratifying bit.of intelligence—to+ the taxpayers to know that this work; which previously cost the county $60 a year, is now all done by the inmates. The management of the jail bas of late been conducted with 4 strict view to economy, and the authorities who. trought about the change deserve great credit therefor. THE SUPERVISORS ADJOURN, At the seasion of the Board of Suef pervisors held on Monday, demands against the county to the atiount of $1,405.59 were allowed. The financial affairs of the: Trustees of Mooney Flat school district were investigated and foand correct, and further consideration thereof dismiesed. After transacting some other business, the Board adjourued for the term. RomoRED ‘CHANGR.
