Richard Plummer of Pine street took from his garden several days ago a parsnip that is different from any other parsnip we ‘ver saw. The upper part of the vegetable has grown up through a round bone, which encircles the parsnip like a ring about a half anch below the stalk. Both above and’ below the bone the vegetable is nearly as large around as the bone. The growing of the parsnip through. the bone was purely accidental and nobody was more surprised at it than Plummer himself, The curiosity can be seen at Jackson’s grocery store, ——-¢ @@e-o— N. S. G.

God’s Country, arrived here last evening. They came on showshees as far as Lake City, and from there down rode in the Eureka Express Company’s sleigh. ~ One week ago today—the 16th—Mr. Cairns had an experience which he will remember as long as he lives and which is of such a thrilling nature that a person shudders to think of what a miraculous escape he had from an awful death. The particulars as given us are-as follows: On the morning of the 16th Cairns and Olsen left the Krie mine boarding house to go to the turinel where they worked, about a quarter of a mile away. Three shifts of eight hours each were being worked. About two feet of fresh snow had fallen upon the old snow, the latter being eight feet deep and covered with a hard crust, As the men walked along the trail which winds along the steep mountain side near the head of Poorman’s creek, the snow suddenly started to slide beneath them. The new snow, for a stretch of 300 yards in length and 1,500 feet in width, had. started to slide over the crust upon which it rested, and the men goon realized that the avalanche was carrying them with it, Olsen fortunately obtained a strong footng in the solid snow and braced himself to resist the immense mass of snow that was rushing towards him from above. He succeeded in keeping his stand, but Cairns was carried off-his feet. and borne down the bill with a speed that was appalling to behold and stiil more terrible tu experience. He was part of the time _above ‘the snow and then for an instant buried from view, emerging from beneath it as he encountered a ‘jump off? from some bluff. Once or twice he partially regained his feet, but for most of the distance he was rolled und tossed about like an inanimate object, being utterly powerless to help. himself. And while le was passing through this hasty and extremely dangerous ordeal, his partner, Olsen, was struggling to keep his position and watching with awful anxiety the rapid transit that Cairns was making down the mountain, and fearing that every ‘moment the latter would be hopelessly engulfed in the snow as it rushed down towards the canyon, a thousand feet below. Olsen shouted to Cairns two or three times, but received no reply, He_ himself was covered with snow twice or three times, but the force of it failed to dislodge him. As the snowslide neared the creek Cairns was carried ina sitting. posture and slid with it as though riding on a sled. Upon reaching the creek he managed to get on his fect and keep out of the way of the now that followed down behind him, and aM minutes was on his way back up the hill, to the great surprise and joy of his friend Olsen, who: firmly believed that Cairns would be buried in the snow and perish before he could be rescued. The distance Cairns was carried was all of 1,000 feet, and he was not more than a minute going. In passing down he fell from bluffs fifteen and twenty feet high, and strange to say, aside from one or two slight scratches, was not hurt. It was certainly a very miraculous escape. As the slide came down it covered up the mouth of the tunnel with about eight feet of snow. Ed, O’Brien happened to be just outside the tunnel and was buried under the snow. He at once began: to oli towards the tuonel, which he succeeded in reaching. Olsen and Cairns went to work to remove the snow as soon as they arrived at the tunnel, and in about half an hour after the slide oecurred they had got O’Brien out and -he three men were congratulating themselves upon the fact that they were all still} i 8 ia Dr, J.

William Wilson was caved on at the Spanish mine last night and badly hurt, He was working in a raise off from the 340 a blast, which loosened up the rock in the hanging wall, causing the cave. The falling rock struck him on the back and head, producing a severe cut over the left eye,-breaking his nose and badly bruising his back in the region of the kidneys. The accident happened about 10-0’clock. A messenger came to tuwn after a buggy, but owing to the rough condition of the roads and the fact that’ they had to drive very slow, it was 3 o’clock this morning when Wilson reached his home on Pine Street, near the Court House.

Mr. Dixon referred to the San Francisco editor as an energetic, pushing business man, as the editor of one of the principal newspapers of ‘the State, as Commissioner to the Paris Exposition, +o the World’s Columbian Exposition and more recently as President of the California Midwinter Fair. Then he called upon the Republicans to remember the services of Mr. de Young to their party in the national committee and in the national conventions and he urged them in the name of progress, as against silurianism, to vote for M.

San Francisco, Jan. 21, 95. My Dear Transcript: I have made it a rule never to shuw or publish a private letter. There are times, perhaps, when an order of Court compels .one to do 80; or perhaps for,one's self protection it is necessary to produce the evidence that the letter or letters contain, In all other cases I consider it a breach ~of “faith, a. contemptible, crimina] meanness to expose to eyes they were not intended for the thoughts and words of a friend. We semetimes receive kind words of cheer; at other times of sorrow; auld again words of repreof at some fancied or real lapse on the part of the recipient. Private and political secrets may be contained within the covering which the énvelope.affords. It is for this reason that the U.S. mail is hedged around with so many safeguards; it is for this reason that it is made a felony to in any way tamper with or obstruct the mail. If the Government, then, is so very careful of our property while in its care, -how much more careful should we be when that property is delivered into our ‘possession ? It has passed into an axiom that more men have been ruined. by writing letters thax from any other cause. Hundreds stances could be cited, even by me. _. But there; I did not intend to moralize— itis. ene of my weaknes:es. I received a letter the other day which touched me very deeply. I.will attach it to this letter, and, as I have. the writer’s;permission te use it in any manner I see fit, I betray no breach of trust. Iattach it herewith, but it does not tell the whole story. It is left for me in so many of these cases to tell the truth, that perhaps my life has not been spared in History should be impartial, and the Historian should narrate facts with a cool, Galm_and unbiased mind. As a sort of legalized historian of our friend I will try and tell the story, It covers a number of years, but it isa part of the journalistic . history of Nevada county and must be recalled to the minds of those who: knew of it. and given as a lesson to the young. In 1853 a green-looking young man made his appearance in Nevada City. He was “all the way from Missouri, yes, all the way from Pike,” He didn’t want to mine; he wae-a printer, and he found a lodgment and situation in the old Nevada Journal, a weekly paper published by Sargent & Budd, I believe. (If I am wrong in any statement I hope the juvenile-looking senior editor will correct me.) The price of composition at that time was $1.75 per thousand ‘‘ems,”” The boy of whom I write was frugal. In time he became one of the ownera ofth e Journal, having as partners E, G.Waite and N.P. Brown. Then came the disastrous fire of 1856. They lost all. In one hour and a half their entire possessions were turned to ashes. But, before the cinders had ceased to burn, preparations were made to bring out the-next-edition, Brave hearts were there, willing hands were ready, and the labor of love was accomplished. It was a wonderful feat in those days—not so great now, perhaps, but still, as I look back on those times, and see the owners running around coatless, sometimes hatless,: I think that ‘St, Guttenburg” should have a crown of glory _preparecl for them all. Well, in 1858 Nevada City was again visited by another fire. Once more she sprang like Phoenix from the. «shes. Again, if my memory serves me right, were these young men left without type, paper or presses, They were not depressed, but simply needed a rest, a breathing spell, if Imay so callit. The rest did them good, for on thé morning of Thursday, September 6, 1860, the first edition of the Morning Transcripr was published by N. P. Brown & Co. 1t was 4% great event—a daily paper in an interior city. The subject of this sketch was one of the.Co,, and’ remained with it for about one year and a half, ; He then, with W. S. Byrne, associated himself with W. B, Ewer in the publication of the Grass Valley National, which was successfully conducted for a number of years. He then came to this city, worked in many offices, was appointed. by. Mr. Sar gent toa position in the Custom: House, where he might bave ‘‘made” enough to keep him in comfort all his life had he not been true to his trust. And now, weary and worn out, he lays down the hurden of life; and away from all he holds dear, from friends, from the State he has helped to build\up, from all the surroundings, all the associations that go to make life a pleasure and a blessing, he will end his days in the Printers’ Home at Colorado Springs; a stranger among strangers. Such is the iropy of fate. Here is a man who at one time was sought after and flattered by all. to do him reverence,” of inNow “‘there are none #o poor He had no bad habjts—it was, in his later days, a general improvidence and despair. Here find the letter. I have got the Transcriprs, and ag loug as.I live they will be treasured by ine. San Franoisco, Jan, 5, 1895.

Lee Fairchild, the humorist who traveled ‘with Mr. Estee during the late campaign, and who is now! doing some service for the State at;Sacramento, has been stigmatized as ‘‘a drunken bummer, who is not even a resident of California,” The allegation. is made in letters written to members. of the Legislature and signed by J. A. Cross, Mr, Fairchild takes up the cross boldly, and says: . : “T do not know. Mr. Cross, and was under the impression he was not as yet. born, ‘As to my drinking, I wish to say that when I reached Sacramento I conferred with my physivian, and he informed me that to drink Sacramento river water meant sudden death, but that I could live on Sacramento whiskey for a space of three weeks, Being fond of life I chose the latter alternative, and as that time has nearly expired, and I have but a few days more to live, I’d like to be let alone, Though Iam not a ‘native son” . have been in California over a year.
