Sentinel: Thursday morning of last week F. M. Craig, W. B. Craig and H., Bankheud, all of Oakland, left Colfax to walk t« You Bet to inspect a mine owned by Frank Snell. They followed. the narrow. guag: track and arrived at the Bear river bridge just a little ahead of the morning passenger train.that-leaves thereat. 7:05,. All three started to walk across the high bridge and beheld the approaching train. One of them claims he shouted at the top of his voice and waved his hands to attract the attention of engineer Craig. As the approach to the bridge is on a short'turn the engineer was unable to see the men, and fireman Conghlin was firing up. The train sped on and the men became. bewildered and terrified with excitement. It was tvo late to try to make the other end of the structure, so they very cautiously concluded that the only way out of it was to drop down and hang to the ties. This they all did and the train passed over It was a verydangerous_undertak= ing, however, as in case they lost their hold it meant instant death in the rapid currents —belew, but they took it-comparatively easy . — and hung on like grim'death. One of the gentle men is well advanced in years, and the other two are: middle-aged men. They appareutly were not acquainted we hear that they thought the train was just about leaving Colfax when they started op the bridge. 0 00 The Future of Fruit. General Chipman fin sacdng of fruit in thie State says it is deguined to be the—ultimate glory of California. Nowhere on the earth is it produced so readily or so bountifully, Such pears, peaehes, apricots; nectarines, etc., as load the trees of the valleys in this State, would stagger the faith o! nine-tenths of my readers. Peach trees large burdeus of fruit while growing luxurdantly each year, are quite common. Appl trees, but three years set, yet showing at deast a bushel of large, fair fruit, are alundant. I ‘have seen peach trees four or five -years from the States, which have all the three feet of new wood over the load during the current. season. Dwarf pears, just stuck into the black loam, and nowise eultivated or fertilized, but covered with fruit the year after they were set, and thence-' forward bearing larger yields each succeed‘ing summer, are seen in almost every 'tolerably cared for fruit patch. I. cannot discover an instance in which any fruit tree, having borne largely one year, consults its dignity or its ease by standing still or growing wood only the next year, as is common in some parts. I have seen green gages and other plum trees so thickly set with fruit that Iam sure the plums would far outweigh the trees, leaves and all, —_———___--—__—_e 00 o—Fourth of July. Some of cour exchanges have already commenced to talk about the Fourth of July. It may seem a little early, bub it is always well to take plenty of time in such things. Nevada City will celebrate this year and in order to do so in a manner becoming the day and to bring credit upon our towa,and people an effort should be made to eclipse all former demonstrations. By agitating the question now the peoplé will begin to make calculations for the event and will be better prepared, when the proper time comes, to assist in making the celebration a success. The tire companies have already commenced to talk celebration,/ and we presume the soldier boys have discussed the matter also. he 2Oeo Groxcr Newsom, at Hastings, B.

EDWARD JENNER. He Was Obstructed and Ridiculed, and Foolish Stories Were Told About the Effects of Vaccination—Recognized at Last and Honored by an Epitaph of Praise. Vaccination, as performed at the . Preventive inever, was known for many years preFor several centuries smallpox was conthat about one-sixth of those attacked blind, deaf and disfigured. ~~ When Edward Montagu was appointed English embassador to Turkey, in 1716, his wife, Lady Mary, called attention, in one of her letters, written in 1717, to the custom of *‘ingrafting”’ land she at once undertook the intro» In 1721, scientists having questioned the expediency of the opertence of death on the condition that tion was received with royal favor, the Princess of Wales ‘having two of her ish method.’’ The efficiency of the operation in mitigating the severity of smallpox was great, the mortality averaging but three in 1,000. But there was one drawback nee ‘was considered fatal. However ht the ingrafted disease might be, it i still smallpox, and the more it was ters of infection multiplied from which those not protected were liable to con-: tract the disease in its most virulent form. Dr. Edward Jenner was. the son of an English clergyman, born in May, 1749, at Berkeley, a village in Gloucester. The confident assertion of a young country woman that having had ‘*cowpox’’ she was proof against smallpox, made a lasting impression on his mind. In his twenty-first year he went to London to finish his medical education under Dr. John Hunter. Returning after two years, he began practice in his native village of Berkeley. On renewinghis acquaintance-with~the—dairy people of the district, the belief of an existing antagonism between cowpox and smallgox was again brought to his attention. By degrees he accumulated sufficient evidence-to convince him that there was something in it. On May 14, 1796, Jenner made his first vaccination on a boy of 8 years, named James Phipps. Several. weeks afterward the boy was inoculated with smallpox matter, and, as Jenner had predicted, no result followed, Within one year from the first announcement of the discovery 70 of the leading physicians of London signed a@ declaration of their absolute confidence in it. ., In spite of this the discovery was not generally accepted without much opposition. Jenner, his system and all who adopted it were made the butts of attacks* hardly equaled in extravagance by any in the history of medicine. When’ he pérsisted in’ pressing the consideration of vaccination on a medical society of which he was a member, he was threatened with expulsion. Jenner were denounced as y ed school of ortho“those practitioners ca inoculation: . A mother‘comiplained that since her daughter had been vaccinated she coughed Tike a cow and that hair had grown all over her boily. It is also said that vaccination had been discontinued in.oe country district, because those. who had been tmoculated with vaccine virus ‘‘ bellowed like bulls,” In 1800 the practice was introdnced into this country, and six years after it wae first made pablic the knowledge one ractice of this operation had over the entire world. In Russia the 6 empress gave the name (of ‘' Vaccinoff,’’ to the first child vaccinated and made its education a public charge. Many. honors were conferred on Jenner by’ foreign ‘courts. “The anniversary of his birth and that of his first vaccination were for many years celebrated in Germany as feast. days. In 1802 par‘liament voted him $50,000, and five years later $100,000 more, He died of apoplexy in 1828, and his remains were faid in the parish church of Berkeley. The following epitaph is inscribed on his touib: , Within this tomb hath found a resting place, The great physician of the human race— immortal Jenner, whose gigantic mind Brought life and health to more than half mankind. Let rescued infancy his worth proclaim And lisp out blessings on his honored name, And radiant beauty drop one grateful tear, For beauty's truest friend lies buried here: ~Mowadaysthe old fashioned method of arm to arm vaccination is no longer practiced, as there is always more or lesa. danger of transmitting , disease from one to another, The virus, as generally used now, is obtained from young “Quill slips are charged with it, ip receiving enough matter for one inoculation. ‘'Points'’ of ivory are also used for holding the virus.

It is said that this cat has been roaming the woods down there for some time to the detriment of the crop of young calves and lambs. Our informant tells us that Edward Clark Tad a fierce encounter withthe animal -beforeit-was-shot by—Ma‘son. Mr. Clark had to fight hard for his life, and his favorite dog, Frank, was done up in “less than no time” by the animal. Mason brought the animal-to -town Friday morning and presented it to S. P.
