CLUNG TO THE TIES.
Three Men Nearly Caught on the
Bear River Bridge.
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.

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,

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.

strength of this experiment the operadaughters ‘‘infected”’ after the “Turk.

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

man, killed a very large catamount or wild
cat down at Indian Springs, says the Telegraph. 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
