Aw invitation is extended to the : public to attend. Afraid of His Head. There is a cow in Grass Valley that has a mania for destroying half-grown cabbages, and the young man of the Tidings in fear of losing his head appeals tothe poundmaster to corral the critter. NeARLY everybody needs a good medicine at this, season, to purify the blood and build up the system. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the most popular and successful spring medicine and blood purifier. It cures scrofula,all humors, GEN. PHIL. SHERIDAN. -_ Dangerous Iliness of the Soldier-Statesman—Biographical, f General Phil. H. Sheridan is report‘ed to be seriously ill at Washingtor, Though not an avowed candidate for the Presidency, his name is being more or less prominently mentioned for that office. It is conceded that General Sheridan would influence the soldier vote and that if anyone could would control the much talked of Trish vote of New York. Directly after Blaine’s letter of declination was received Sheridan’s name was brought prominently forward as was also the question of nativity. He says that he was born in Albany, New York, March 6th, 1831. In one of the records of bureaus of the War Department his birth-place is given as Ohio and the date March 6th, 1831. In the West Point record his birth-plave is also given as Ohio. General Sheridan’s parents were Irish and came to this country shortly prior to the birth ofthe General. General Philip-Henry Sheridan graduated at the Military Academy at West Point in 1853, and gerved on frontier duty in Texas for nearly two years, and in Oregon from 1855 to 1861. At the commencement of the civil war he wag appointed Quartermaster of the army of SouthWestern Missouri, and in April, 1862, Chief Quartermaster of the Western Department. In May, 1862, he was appointed Colonel of the Second Michigan Volunteer Cavalry, was commissioned Brigadier-General of Volunteers, July Ist, 1862, and, aftera brief period, was put in command of the’1lth Division of the army at Ohio. He commanded a division in the army of the Cumbéfland, and, at the battle of Stone River, December 31st, 1862, saved the army from rout by his stubbord resistance. For his gallant conduct he was promoted to be MajorGeneral of Volunteers. In April, 1864, he was called te the army of the Potomac by General Grant, put in command ofthe Cavalry Corps, and within the months of May, June and July, besides protecting the flanks of the army and reconnoitering the enemy’s positions, was successfully engaged in eighteen different actions. On the 4th of August, 1864, he was put in command of the army of the Shenandoah, and soon after of the Middle Military Division, where he gained several successes over General Early, for which he was made Brigadier-General of the United States army, and in November following was made Major-General. He joined—General Grant’s army at City Point, from whence he started March 25th, 1865, to strike the final blow for the overthrow of General Lee’s army of Northern Virginia. He fought the battle of Dinwiddie Court House, March ist, and that of Five Forks, which necessitated Lee’s evacuation of Richmond and Petersburg, ~1#pril Ist, and as the army of Nofthern Virginia fled, he constantly attacked and harrassed them, and compelled their surrender at Appomattox Court House, April 9th, 1865. He was assigned to the command of the Military Division of the Seuth West, June 3d, and of that of the Gulf, June 17th, 1865. Under a new reorganization of the Military Districts and Departments, he was assigned to the department of the Gulf, August 15th, 1866, ment of the Missouri, where he continued until March 1869, when, by the promotion of Sherman, he became Lieutenant-General and assumed command of Western and South Western Military Divisions, with his headquarters at Chicago. Naturalization and Matrimony. Wm. Lombardini, who arrived here this week from Yountville, Napa county, on a visit, appeared at the Court-house yesterday morning accompanied by two beautiful and handsomely dressed young ladies and a gentleman friend. The genial county clerk at once grabbed his book of marriage licenses, and bending over inquired, ‘‘What names?” He was disappointed a moment later to learn that Mr. Lombardini simply wanted to become naturalized, Subsequently before the Judge the young lady stood up and with beaming eyes told how deeply Mr. Lombardini was attached to the principles of our form of government. Upon her testimony, added to that of the gentleman who was with them, Mr. L. was made a full-fledged sovereign of the United States of America. This done, the new citizen returned to the Clerk’s office and made that functionary supremely happy by procuring a license to wed the young lady who had just testified before the court as to his fitness to become a citizen. It seems that she, being a true American girl, did not want to marry a man who was the subject of any foreign potentate or power. A Challenge to the Nationals. It is understood that the Boss of the Roads are about to challenge the National Hotel club to play a game of baseball for $50 a side; Cross to pitch and Land to constitute the battery for the county seat nine; further, that the Boss of the Roads must make twice as many runs as the Nationals -in order to win. A Poisoned Canine, Wm. Walters’ heart is heavy. His pet dog Keno was poisoned Tuesday nigltit by some unknown party. Mr. .

GENERAL PHIL. H, SHERIDAN, T An Estimable Lady's Death. The Red Bluff Sentinel publishes the following concerning the death of anaunt of Mrs. Charles Grimes at this city: At eight o’clock on the night of the 10th instant Mrs. Mary Robinson, beloved wife of Henry Robinson: of this place, died at the family residence on Walnut street, surrounded by her husband and children. She had been sick about four weeks with pneumonia, was quite feeble, but still there was no apprehension of immediate dissolution untila few minutes before she cied. To herdaughter who stood by her watching for the slightest change, she said, ‘‘I am sleepy; let me go to sleep.’”? She closed her eyes, apparently in peaceful child-like slumber, her breathing became quicker and quicker for a few minutes, then the breath grew fainter until, as if the Angel of Death had relinquished his grasp for the moment, she opened her eyes, looked smilingly into the faces of the loved ones and said, ‘“‘Let me sleep,’”’ and aguin closed her eyes, calmly, peacefully, without the movementofamuscle. Sheslept the last earthly sleep; but awoke in Heaven . amid a Conyoy of angels who escorted her pure spirit to the Paradise of God, where to-day she looks out over the battlements of Heaven, waiting and watching for those left behind. Mary Tully Robinson was born near Athlone, County Roscomon, Ireland, August 17, 1824, and would have been 64 years old had she lived til] the 17th day of next August. She immigrated to the United States early in life and came to San Francisco in 1854, remained there till ’55, when she moved to Red Bluff. In 1856 she. became the wife of Henry Robinson, having gone to Shasta to -havé the vows solemnized. Of the few white women who lived in Red Bluff in 1855 she was the only survivor, she having lived continuously in this place ever since her arrival here in 1855. She was a consistent, earnest, faithfal’ meniber of the Catholic Church and exemplified in the whole course of her lite the teachings of her God and Savior whom she worshipped. _She died as she had lived—the death of the righteous. Sh. was a loving wife, an affectionate and indulgent mother and a kind neighbor,loved and respected by all who knew her. She leaves three children, William Henry Robinson and Mesdames Bert and Ed Bidwell; two sisters, Misses Kate and Bridget Tully of Woodland, and two nieces, Mrs. Charles Grimes of Nevada City and the other in Woodland, who mourn her untimely death.

Weisenburger Bres., Dealers in millstuffs, feed, etc. tf . He offered proofs as to his being a resof Graniteville, and it is Mad at the Weather. During his leisure moments Lawyer Hamilton McCormick has been‘ cultivating his muscle and inciting” his appetite by doing something in the way of gardening on his ranch near town. This spring he had unusually good success and watched with pride the peas and lettuce and cabbage and other things of his planting as one by one ‘they: pushed their way up through the pulver.zed and weedless soil. He discoursedto~ hie’ fellowlawyers on the pleasure and profit of such pastimes, and not only advised them to each devote at least a tithe of their vast wealth to the purchase of a larger or stvaller tract of real estate, but invited them to visit his place #arly next month and-witness living proof of his success in that line. Since last Sunday night, however, ’Squire McCormick has been singing another tune. He avoids the subject of climate and declares that t!.e man who builds his hopes on a yeyetal le patch erect astructure of sand on a founda: tion of soap-bubbles, or words to that effect. ‘It’s like fooling with the heels of a mule,” he said to the re; porter yesterday, ‘‘and dash me ifI do any more of it. Sunday night I went to bed in a tranquil state of mind, congratulating myself on the superior growing quality of the weather. Before morning a streak of frost singled me out asa victim, and the tender plants in my garden. were fatally nipped.” Then Mr. McCormick branched off into a wide variety of expressions not found in law books. A Hint to Mydraulickers. Eprror Transcriet—The following extracts from ‘‘The official Gazette”’. of the United States Patent Office, of April 14th, 1888,-will doubtless-be of interest to many of your readers ; ‘‘Supreme Court of the United States, Hoskin et al. vs, Fisher et al. Decided March 19th, 1888. Reissued Letters Patent No. 8,876 granted to Frank H. Fisher, September 2d, 1879, for an improvement in hydranlie min-. ing apparatus adjudged to be invalid. Mr, Justice Blatehfurd delivered the opinion of the Court. The decree of the Circuit Court is reversed and the case is remanded to the Circuit Court for the Northern District, of California, with a direction to dismiss the bill with costs.” After the decision of Judge Sawyer rendered on the 17th of March, 1882, sustaining the. validity.of the reissue, now declared invalid by the United States Supreme Court, Joshua Hendy and Frank Fisher, of San Francisco, demanded through the newspapers, by letters and otherwise from the hydraulic miners who had used and were using the machine called the ‘Little Gisnt,”’ a royalty; coupling the demand with the threat of a suit for damages if their demand was not complied with. A considerable sumy of money was by this means collected, This money ought to be, and doubtless can be recovered from Hendy & Fisher. J; H. Hoskin, Denver, May 12th, 1888, A Chilling Reception. Official business took constable Stephens of this city to You Bet Thursday. Upon his arrival there the residents gave him 4 reception that froze his very marrow, ‘They glared at him suspiciously and in response to inquiries for commonplace ‘information they gave him nothing but shrugs.: He was much mystified for awhile at their demeanor, but finally surmising “that they might take him for a mining spy asked them if such was the case. They told him yes. pectable man on a decent mission. From that moment forward the town was at his disposal. By their hospitality they more than made up for the snubs they had heaped upon, him; and he declares they are the finest people in boots. Constable Stephens says that-last Thursday spies served injnnction poses on Jerry Goodwin and P. Moore of You Bet. —: The son of Mr. and Mra, E. T.

The case of Hamilton vs. Underwood was still on trial before Judge Walling yesterday. Excursion trains for the Foresters’ picnic leave this city at 9 o’clock this morning and 1 o'clock this afternoon. Wm. Lombardini, a native of Italy, was naturalized yesterday on the testimony of Frank Genasci and Miss Josie Genasci. : The widow of the late J.

Venus, the morning star, is brighter now than it has ever appeared to any man now living, and nearer the earth than it will be again in 340 years. The dancing platform at Glenbrook Park for Saturday’s picnic is completed. It has a “spring floor and is as smooth as glass,”’ as one of the builders remarked yesterday. ‘“Here, Jobnny,” said a Grass Valley clothing merchant to the store boy the other morning, ‘‘just wipe the frost off the show windows, so that the people can see our new stock Gf! Summer goods.”’ Tidings: Sunday last, while the National Hotel ballplayers were here, English offered to take four of the B. of R. members and play the full nine of the Nationals for $20 a. side. The defy was not taken up. Following are the newly elected ‘officers of the W. C. T. U.: Mrs. H. W. Valantine, Pres.; Mrs. Jno. Murchie, Ist Vice ; Mrs. W. Clemo, 2d Vice; Mrs. L. }O: Palmer, Corresponding Secretary ; Mrs. E. W. Charles, Treas. _ The grand old trees of Storms Ranch, where the picnic is to be held today, have not been disturbed: by the wood-choppers who are engaged in clearing the colony lands proper. The grove is a delightful place in which to spend a day. The picnic at Indian Springs tomorrow will be under the auspices of the Grangers’ society, Prominent members of the Order in this State will talk on Grange topics. For the youths and misses, arrangements for dancing have been made. The sewer which extends along down the southerly side of Broad street from the Methodist Church to, Deer creek is said to be in vile condition. The stench that arises from it in the neighborhood of the postoffice is at times almost unbearable, according to people with sensitive olefactories. ae Eyes Badly Afflicted. The Grass‘Valley Union of yesterday says: Miss Bell Finnie, in company —with —hersister, Mrs. James Watt, has gone to San Francisco for the purpose of having her eyes treated by an oculist. Several weeks since the young lady began te suffer from pains in the right eye accompanied by a dimness of vision. Dr. Jones was called several day since and advised Miss Finnie to go immediately to San Francisco for treatment. .Itis-feared that the sight of the right eye is totally and permanently destroyed, and there is great danger of the left becoming seriously impaired. Miss Finnie is well known in Grass Valley, where she has lived all her life, having, until recently, been teaching in our public schools. The cause of the impaired sight of the young lady is said to be too close application to books. For Fifty Dollars. The National Hotel-club of this city and the Browns of Grass. Valley will play baseball at Glenbrook Park next Saturday forenoon for a purse of $50 offered by the Knights of Pythias. Both organizations are handsomely uniformed, and as they are supposed to be evenly matched an exciting game is expected. Among the members of.the Browns are such experienced players as Jules Brady, Will Horan, Dr. M. P. Harris, John Francis and Thos. Horan. The National’s battery will be Johnson and Land. ee Obstinate Tramps. Three of the four tramps from Truckee who were marched out to the Pennsylvania dump yesterday morning to go to work as a chaingang, refused to break any rock. Consequently they were marched back to the county jail where they now languish and water. that kind of experience will bring the kickers to their sensee. Ae Case Postponed. When the Superior Court case of numerous miners against the Nevada City G. and 8. M. Co. et al. was called ‘for trial yesterday moning it was found that a demurrer interposed by the Company to the complaint of Hawk had never been called up or acted upon.

Eprrok Transcripr—Your statement in Monday’s paper referring to the busting up of the game between the B. of R. and National Hotel clubs does the former much injustice. We had the game advertised in Grass Valley and Nevada City at an expense of about $13. I suppose’ everything pertaining to the same was all right. Imagine my surprise on Sunday morning at receiving a telegram that the Nationals would not play on account of the absence of two of their players, they having gone to San Juan. I answered by telegraph saying tlie game was well advertised and must go. Receiving no answer, I supposed the game was off. But at 1:30 p. mw. the Nationals showed up after half of my men had gone out of town. Their captain came to me saying he had no pitcher, and I offered télet him have English. Then the inquiry was as to who would catch him. Muller said he wouldn’t catch him, as he knew nothing of him. I thought-things~-were coming to a fine point when I had to furnish a battery and risk the chances of defeat, so I concluded not to play. I called the captain aside and told him that we had been to an expense of about $13, that I considered the Nationals to blame for not having a game, and thought it no more than right that they (the Nationals) should readily consented. Any statements to the effect that I was telegraphed to, asking me for English and half the gate receipts, and that I telegraphed back granting the same, are false, and the Nevada club knowing it, I defy them to produce the dispatch. I wish it understood that I am engaging pitchers and catchers for the Boss of the Road club only. If the Nationals did not know for certain that they could get Land and Johnson for a battery, why did they allow me to advertise the game? In concluding I would say the Nationals are to blame for not having a game, as it was their place to see that they had a battery. Dan Mora@an, B. of R. B. B.C. Manager, Memorial Religious Services. The religious denominatiuns of the city have been asked by the members of Chattanooga Post, G. A. R., to hold union services in their churches on Sunday. The last time services of that character were held many could not gain admission by reason of the smallness of the church edifices. The Methodists and Congregationists have therefore resolved to meet in the Theater on Sunday evening, when addresses will be delivered by the pastors and choic» music will be rendered by the choirs, a program of which will be given in the future. eS BORN.

There is a cow in Grass Valley that has a mania for destroying half-grown cabbages, and the young man of the Tidings in fear of losing his head appeals tothe poundmaster to corral the critter. NeARLY everybody needs a good medicine at this, season, to purify the blood and build up the system. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the most popular and successful spring medicine and blood purifier. It cures scrofula,all humors, GEN. PHIL. SHERIDAN. -_ Dangerous Iliness of the Soldier-Statesman—Biographical, f General Phil. H. Sheridan is report‘ed to be seriously ill at Washingtor, Though not an avowed candidate for the Presidency, his name is being more or less prominently mentioned for that office. It is conceded that General Sheridan would influence the soldier vote and that if anyone could would control the much talked of Trish vote of New York. Directly after Blaine’s letter of declination was received Sheridan’s name was brought prominently forward as was also the question of nativity. He says that he was born in Albany, New York, March 6th, 1831. In one of the records of bureaus of the War Department his birth-place is given as Ohio and the date March 6th, 1831. In the West Point record his birth-plave is also given as Ohio. General Sheridan’s parents were Irish and came to this country shortly prior to the birth ofthe General. General Philip-Henry Sheridan graduated at the Military Academy at West Point in 1853, and gerved on frontier duty in Texas for nearly two years, and in Oregon from 1855 to 1861. At the commencement of the civil war he wag appointed Quartermaster of the army of SouthWestern Missouri, and in April, 1862, Chief Quartermaster of the Western Department. In May, 1862, he was appointed Colonel of the Second Michigan Volunteer Cavalry, was commissioned Brigadier-General of Volunteers, July Ist, 1862, and, aftera brief period, was put in command of the’1lth Division of the army at Ohio. He commanded a division in the army of the Cumbéfland, and, at the battle of Stone River, December 31st, 1862, saved the army from rout by his stubbord resistance. For his gallant conduct he was promoted to be MajorGeneral of Volunteers. In April, 1864, he was called te the army of the Potomac by General Grant, put in command ofthe Cavalry Corps, and within the months of May, June and July, besides protecting the flanks of the army and reconnoitering the enemy’s positions, was successfully engaged in eighteen different actions. On the 4th of August, 1864, he was put in command of the army of the Shenandoah, and soon after of the Middle Military Division, where he gained several successes over General Early, for which he was made Brigadier-General of the United States army, and in November following was made Major-General. He joined—General Grant’s army at City Point, from whence he started March 25th, 1865, to strike the final blow for the overthrow of General Lee’s army of Northern Virginia. He fought the battle of Dinwiddie Court House, March ist, and that of Five Forks, which necessitated Lee’s evacuation of Richmond and Petersburg, ~1#pril Ist, and as the army of Nofthern Virginia fled, he constantly attacked and harrassed them, and compelled their surrender at Appomattox Court House, April 9th, 1865. He was assigned to the command of the Military Division of the Seuth West, June 3d, and of that of the Gulf, June 17th, 1865. Under a new reorganization of the Military Districts and Departments, he was assigned to the department of the Gulf, August 15th, 1866, ment of the Missouri, where he continued until March 1869, when, by the promotion of Sherman, he became Lieutenant-General and assumed command of Western and South Western Military Divisions, with his headquarters at Chicago. Naturalization and Matrimony. Wm. Lombardini, who arrived here this week from Yountville, Napa county, on a visit, appeared at the Court-house yesterday morning accompanied by two beautiful and handsomely dressed young ladies and a gentleman friend. The genial county clerk at once grabbed his book of marriage licenses, and bending over inquired, ‘‘What names?” He was disappointed a moment later to learn that Mr. Lombardini simply wanted to become naturalized, Subsequently before the Judge the young lady stood up and with beaming eyes told how deeply Mr. Lombardini was attached to the principles of our form of government. Upon her testimony, added to that of the gentleman who was with them, Mr. L. was made a full-fledged sovereign of the United States of America. This done, the new citizen returned to the Clerk’s office and made that functionary supremely happy by procuring a license to wed the young lady who had just testified before the court as to his fitness to become a citizen. It seems that she, being a true American girl, did not want to marry a man who was the subject of any foreign potentate or power. A Challenge to the Nationals. It is understood that the Boss of the Roads are about to challenge the National Hotel club to play a game of baseball for $50 a side; Cross to pitch and Land to constitute the battery for the county seat nine; further, that the Boss of the Roads must make twice as many runs as the Nationals -in order to win.

GENERAL PHIL. H, SHERIDAN, T An Estimable Lady's Death. The Red Bluff Sentinel publishes the following concerning the death of anaunt of Mrs. Charles Grimes at this city: At eight o’clock on the night of the 10th instant Mrs. Mary Robinson, beloved wife of Henry Robinson: of this place, died at the family residence on Walnut street, surrounded by her husband and children. She had been sick about four weeks with pneumonia, was quite feeble, but still there was no apprehension of immediate dissolution untila few minutes before she cied. To herdaughter who stood by her watching for the slightest change, she said, ‘‘I am sleepy; let me go to sleep.’”? She closed her eyes, apparently in peaceful child-like slumber, her breathing became quicker and quicker for a few minutes, then the breath grew fainter until, as if the Angel of Death had relinquished his grasp for the moment, she opened her eyes, looked smilingly into the faces of the loved ones and said, ‘“‘Let me sleep,’”’ and aguin closed her eyes, calmly, peacefully, without the movementofamuscle. Sheslept the last earthly sleep; but awoke in Heaven . amid a Conyoy of angels who escorted her pure spirit to the Paradise of God, where to-day she looks out over the battlements of Heaven, waiting and watching for those left behind. Mary Tully Robinson was born near Athlone, County Roscomon, Ireland, August 17, 1824, and would have been 64 years old had she lived til] the 17th day of next August. She immigrated to the United States early in life and came to San Francisco in 1854, remained there till ’55, when she moved to Red Bluff. In 1856 she. became the wife of Henry Robinson, having gone to Shasta to -havé the vows solemnized. Of the few white women who lived in Red Bluff in 1855 she was the only survivor, she having lived continuously in this place ever since her arrival here in 1855. She was a consistent, earnest, faithfal’ meniber of the Catholic Church and exemplified in the whole course of her lite the teachings of her God and Savior whom she worshipped. _She died as she had lived—the death of the righteous. Sh. was a loving wife, an affectionate and indulgent mother and a kind neighbor,loved and respected by all who knew her. She leaves three children, William Henry Robinson and Mesdames Bert and Ed Bidwell; two sisters, Misses Kate and Bridget Tully of Woodland, and two nieces, Mrs. Charles Grimes of Nevada City and the other in Woodland, who mourn her untimely death.

Weisenburger Bres., Dealers in millstuffs, feed, etc. tf . He offered proofs as to his being a resof Graniteville, and it is Mad at the Weather. During his leisure moments Lawyer Hamilton McCormick has been‘ cultivating his muscle and inciting” his appetite by doing something in the way of gardening on his ranch near town. This spring he had unusually good success and watched with pride the peas and lettuce and cabbage and other things of his planting as one by one ‘they: pushed their way up through the pulver.zed and weedless soil. He discoursedto~ hie’ fellowlawyers on the pleasure and profit of such pastimes, and not only advised them to each devote at least a tithe of their vast wealth to the purchase of a larger or stvaller tract of real estate, but invited them to visit his place #arly next month and-witness living proof of his success in that line. Since last Sunday night, however, ’Squire McCormick has been singing another tune. He avoids the subject of climate and declares that t!.e man who builds his hopes on a yeyetal le patch erect astructure of sand on a founda: tion of soap-bubbles, or words to that effect. ‘It’s like fooling with the heels of a mule,” he said to the re; porter yesterday, ‘‘and dash me ifI do any more of it. Sunday night I went to bed in a tranquil state of mind, congratulating myself on the superior growing quality of the weather. Before morning a streak of frost singled me out asa victim, and the tender plants in my garden. were fatally nipped.” Then Mr. McCormick branched off into a wide variety of expressions not found in law books. A Hint to Mydraulickers. Eprror Transcriet—The following extracts from ‘‘The official Gazette”’. of the United States Patent Office, of April 14th, 1888,-will doubtless-be of interest to many of your readers ; ‘‘Supreme Court of the United States, Hoskin et al. vs, Fisher et al. Decided March 19th, 1888. Reissued Letters Patent No. 8,876 granted to Frank H. Fisher, September 2d, 1879, for an improvement in hydranlie min-. ing apparatus adjudged to be invalid. Mr, Justice Blatehfurd delivered the opinion of the Court. The decree of the Circuit Court is reversed and the case is remanded to the Circuit Court for the Northern District, of California, with a direction to dismiss the bill with costs.” After the decision of Judge Sawyer rendered on the 17th of March, 1882, sustaining the. validity.of the reissue, now declared invalid by the United States Supreme Court, Joshua Hendy and Frank Fisher, of San Francisco, demanded through the newspapers,

by letters and otherwise from the hydraulic miners who had used and were using the machine called the ‘Little Gisnt,”’ a royalty; coupling the demand with the threat of a suit for damages if their demand was not complied with. A considerable sumy of money was by this means collected, This money ought to be, and doubtless can be recovered from Hendy & Fisher. J; H. Hoskin, Denver, May 12th, 1888, A Chilling Reception. Official business took constable Stephens of this city to You Bet Thursday. Upon his arrival there the residents gave him 4 reception that froze his very marrow, ‘They glared at him suspiciously and in response to inquiries for commonplace ‘information they gave him nothing but shrugs.: He was much mystified for awhile at their demeanor, but finally surmising “that they might take him for a mining spy asked them if such was the case. They told him yes. pectable man on a decent mission. From that moment forward the town was at his disposal. By their hospitality they more than made up for the snubs they had heaped upon, him; and he declares they are the finest people in boots. Constable Stephens says that-last Thursday spies served injnnction poses on Jerry Goodwin and P. Moore of You Bet.. —: The son of Mr. and Mra, E. T.

Venus, the morning star, is brighter now than it has ever appeared to any man now living, and nearer the earth than it will be again in 340 years. The dancing platform at Glenbrook Park for Saturday’s picnic is completed. It has a “spring floor and is as smooth as glass,”’ as one of the builders remarked yesterday. ‘“Here, Jobnny,” said a Grass Valley clothing merchant to the store boy the other morning, ‘‘just wipe the frost off the show windows, so that the people can see our new stock Gf! Summer goods.”’ Tidings: Sunday last, while the National Hotel ballplayers were here, English offered to take four of the B. of R. members and play the full nine of the Nationals for $20 a. side. The defy was not taken up. Following are the newly elected ‘officers of the W. C. T. U.: Mrs. H. W. Valantine, Pres.; Mrs. Jno. Murchie, Ist Vice ; Mrs. W. Clemo, 2d Vice; Mrs. L. }O: Palmer, Corresponding Secretary ; Mrs. E. W. Charles, Treas. _ The grand old trees of Storms Ranch, where the picnic is to be held today, have not been disturbed: by the wood-choppers who are engaged in clearing the colony lands proper. The grove is a delightful place in which to spend a day. The picnic at Indian Springs tomorrow will be under the auspices of the Grangers’ society, Prominent members of the Order in this State will talk on Grange topics. For the youths and misses, arrangements for dancing have been made. The sewer which extends along down the southerly side of Broad street from the Methodist Church to, Deer creek is said to be in vile condition. The stench that arises from it in the neighborhood of the postoffice is at times almost unbearable, according to people with sensitive olefactories. ae Eyes Badly Afflicted. The Grass‘Valley Union of yesterday says: Miss Bell Finnie, in company —with —hersister, Mrs. James Watt, has gone to San Francisco for the purpose of having her eyes treated by an oculist. Several weeks since the young lady began te suffer from pains in the right eye accompanied by a dimness of vision. Dr. Jones was called several day since and advised Miss Finnie to go immediately to San Francisco for treatment. .Itis-feared that the sight of the right eye is totally and permanently destroyed, and there is great danger of the left becoming seriously impaired. Miss Finnie is well known in Grass Valley, where she has lived all her life, having, until recently, been teaching in our public schools. The cause of the impaired sight of the young lady is said to be too close application to books. For Fifty Dollars. The National Hotel-club of this city and the Browns of Grass. Valley will play baseball at Glenbrook Park next Saturday forenoon for a purse of $50 offered by the Knights of Pythias. Both organizations are handsomely uniformed, and as they are supposed to be evenly matched an exciting game is expected. Among the members of.the Browns are such experienced players as Jules Brady, Will Horan, Dr. M. P. Harris, John Francis and Thos. Horan. The National’s battery will be Johnson and Land. ee Obstinate Tramps. Three of the four tramps from Truckee who were marched out to the Pennsylvania dump yesterday morning to go to work as a chaingang, refused to break any rock. Consequently they were marched back to the county jail where they now languish and water. that kind of experience will bring the kickers to their sensee. Ae Case Postponed.

Eprrok Transcripr—Your statement in Monday’s paper referring to the busting up of the game between the B. of R. and National Hotel clubs does the former much injustice. We had the game advertised in Grass Valley and Nevada City at an expense of about $13. I suppose’ everything pertaining to the same was all right. Imagine my surprise on Sunday morning at receiving a telegram that the Nationals would not play on account of the absence of two of their players, they having gone to San Juan. I answered by telegraph saying tlie game was well advertised and must go. Receiving no answer, I supposed the game was off. But at 1:30 p. mw. the Nationals showed up after half of my men had gone out of town. Their captain came to me saying he had no pitcher, and I offered télet him have English. Then the inquiry was as to who would catch him. Muller said he wouldn’t catch him, as he knew nothing of him. I thought-things~-were coming to a fine point when I had to furnish a battery and risk the chances of defeat, so I concluded not to play. I called the captain aside and told him that we had been to an expense of about $13, that I considered the Nationals to blame for not having a game, and thought it no more than right that they (the Nationals) should readily consented. Any statements to the effect that I was telegraphed to, asking me for English and half the gate receipts, and that I telegraphed back granting the same, are false, and the Nevada club knowing it, I defy them to produce the dispatch. I wish it understood that I am engaging pitchers and catchers for the Boss of the Road club only. If the Nationals did not know for certain that they could get Land and Johnson for a battery, why did they allow me to advertise the game? In concluding I would say the Nationals are to blame for not having a game, as it was their place to see that they had a battery. Dan Mora@an, B. of R. B. B.C. Manager, Memorial Religious Services. The religious denominatiuns of the city have been asked by the members of Chattanooga Post, G. A. R., to hold union services in their churches on Sunday. The last time services of that character were held many could not gain admission by reason of the smallness of the church edifices. The Methodists and Congregationists have therefore resolved to meet in the Theater on Sunday evening, when addresses will be delivered by the pastors and choic» music will be rendered by the choirs, a program of which will be given in the future. eS BORN.
