I tried it, of course. The poison came out in one huge, purple, yellow, blue blister, winding like a stinging serpent from my wrist to my elbow, eventually breaking out all over me and closing my eyes. When the swelling subsided the skin peeled off my arm, a new skin, whiter and softer than betore, coming in its place.” “That cured you of experimenting in such things, didn’t it ?’’ “That’s where you’re wrong. My r-. nature is not the kind that gets bluffig . ed off at one failure. In Butte county, during the summer of 1850, my _partners and myself were digging a tail race through a river bar. Encountering many large poison oaks, we cut the roots with mattocks and pulled them. out with naked hands. The sap from the roots stained my hands almost black. In less than ten hours my skin commenced to turn: purple and black. There was a burning sensation in my veins. My whole body ly. Doctor Pollard (now of New York) pronounced it the severest case he ever met with. All said I must die. , . Finally as a last hope an old Indian medicine man belonging to Captain lowa: ‘Take poison oak roots, bark and leaves, boil until a strong tea is made, give one glass full, put the patient between woolen blankets and in a few days he will be well and will never take it again.’ I persume he meant I would never again take such adose. Badly off as I was;however, I respectfully declined experimenting just at that time preferring to wait and take my chances. After intense suf> fering for many days I got well. Then I had another consulation with the great. medicine man, he assuring me by his standing in the tribe that I would not ‘take’ poison if his advice was followed. I resolved to try jit, but in this case. the medicine man changed his prescription a little. He said to first take some green leaves of the shrub and some young twigs; put them in my mouth and chew them; swallow the juice; then in a day or two drink some of the poison tea, and I would never take poison again. I chewed some leaves and twigs, only did not swallow the juice. Had I done so, Nevada county’sschool census would probably now be considerably less than itis.

The Wyoming company had a patent dated after the location under which the plaintiff claimed priority. The court held that the possession . of & patent by the defendant was an adjudication by the Land Department of the Government that the defendant had complied with the laws of Congress entitling it to the patent at the time it filed its application therefor; and as the application for patent was proof of a possession antedating the claim of plaintiff, the deféndant was the first locator, and as the first locator took the entire ledge from the point o. junction downward. Thus ‘the plaintiff was awarded the ownership of the lode which cropped in its ground down to the point of junction. The defendant was adjudged: the-owner of the lode which cropped in its ground down to the point of junction, and to the entire ledge from the point of union downward. As it appeared that the defendant had extractcd a small ‘amount of quartz from the portion of the lode awarded to plaintiff, plaintiff was awarded $120 damages.

Not long ago, a lady who makes patchwork comforters for the Fruit and. Flower .“Mission reported that Grant Jacobs, of Nevada City,. was lying at No. 6) Third street in a helpless and destitute condition with a ofthe spine. He is a splendid specitnen of manhood, but the poor young fellow has become so despondent that he was on the eve of suicide when. visited by ladies of the mission. Hle has been suffering from ,spinal trouble for three years past, caused by straining himself while working in a logging cainp. ; He was born in Nevada City, and is 21 years Old, but has never been to school. He and an elder brother are al] that are left of the family, as the mother and sister died within. a few mouths of each other, about five years ago. The two boys worked in-a logging camp, and had managed to buy four good horses, but soon after -the mother’s death the horses died with gland. ers, and the boys were obliged—te mortgage the. little house for money enough to buy-another team. Soon after, Grant fell ill, and then the strogzle te take care of him and pay off the mortgage f ll on the. elder brother Henry. In the summer season-he is_able to earn $40.a-month, but in bad weather the logging-camps are deserted, and it takes quite a sum to keep the team through the winter, Last July Henry persuaded Grant to come to this city tor treatment, and he was sent to the German Hospital, where he remained three months, but as his funds became exhausted, he was allowed to l-ave the institution without any improvement being made in his case. Since then-he has drifted .from one physician to another, the last being Dr. Lane, who put him in a plaster cast, afterhe had undergene the heroic treatment administered to Clara Morris. This put him in bed, and he has been kindly cared for by Mrs, Conroy who keeps the house at No. 60 Third street, where he is. She gives him his food, and the Young Men’s Christian Association have also interested themselves,and the brother sends a little money every week. diseas * In the last four weeks the Visiting Committee of the Fruit and Flower Mission have tapght their patient to read and write, and Mrs. Frank Kellogs has taught him the tables in arithmetic and provided him with a ‘small blackboard, where he works out simple examples, copying them all on paper for her to correct. He wrote his first letter to his brother yesterday, and its penmanship did bim credit, though the spelling was.a little shaky. He has been a great sufferer, but his case is not hopeless. ——-— + — — + 2@e + The Debaters in Council. The school of oratory known as the Nevada City Debating Society had a rather spirited session Friday evening. Che bone of contention was the question as to whether or not it would be beneficial to the interests .of this State and people to have California divided into two States. Much _ eloquence and argument: came from both sides of the house, and at one stage of the proceedings the situation became so warm that Mr. Stewart, acting in the place of President Hedde. whowas educating his heels at the benefit ball, remarked with a sarcastic tinge in his tone thut he-would open allthe win lows oi the hall and let in® some of the night air were hé» not afraid that if he did the debaters would disturb the dancers three block away.

He held up to ridicule the practice of members bringing slingshots, brass knuckles,rerevolvers and loaded canes to the meetinzs, and condemned the judge of the debates for leaning his head back se that he left a big grease-spot on the wall and when asleep disturbed and distracted ihe speakers by his snoring. He went on at this rate through several pages‘ef musk-scented note paper, and wound up by a mirth-provoking dissection of a young newspaper n.an’s articles on the culture of manzanita gerries and the civilization of the Digyer Indian.

F.,for the benefit of the widow and three children of their lately deceased fellow-chevalier, Henry Hurst, was a marked success in all that goes to make a public party enjoyable to those connecied with it either as managers or guests. By nine o’clock all of the seats in tbe gallery were taken, and the standing room back of the benches was in demand, About that time the floor began to fill up, and in afew minutes a vast throng of ‘people were impatiently awaiting the. signal for thefestivities to begin. “The rich uniforms of ‘the chevaliers blended barmoniously with the stylish apparel of the four-score handsome ladies and the sober black of the sterner sex who trained not in martial colors. . The orchestra consisted of Prof. Goyne and Messrs. Davis, Carter and Godair, and the music they furnished was well executed. The grand march, containing about seventy-five couples, was led by IF. G. Beatty of the Canton and his wife, the other members of the order and their ladies constituting the: right of the procession which moved with a precision that made an imposing spectacle. The exhibition drill by fifteen chevaliers under command of Captain Geo. A. Gray took place about ten . o’clock and. by its excellence won for the corps the highest praise. The movements Were executed in threes and multiples thereof, according to the society’s tactics,and embraced a wide varie'y of standard and fancy figures; . The wheelings, obliques, to the rear and open order marchings, stars, ‘crosses, circles, etc., were executed with a regularity of alignment and step and a prom ptness in obeying commands that elicited praise.

Bean, or bearer The cause was tried by the Court below without a jury and judgment was rendered for the plaintiffs in the sum of $2,000 with interest. From that judgment and an order refusing the plaintiffs a new trial this action is taken. \ : It appears that Joo Bean was agent and superintendent of a gold-mining company in . Sierra county. His brother, Philander C. Bean, was engaged by him.to work in the company’s mine. An accident accured in the mine, whereby Philander C. Bean was seriously injured.

I tried it, of course. The poison came out in one huge, purple, yellow, blue blister, winding like a stinging serpent from my wrist to my elbow, eventually breaking out all over me and closing my eyes. When the swelling subsided the skin peeled off my arm, a new skin, whiter and softer than betore, coming in its place.” “That cured you of experimenting in such things, didn’t it ?’’ “That’s where you’re wrong. My r-. nature is not the kind that gets bluffig . ed off at one failure. In Butte county, during the summer of 1850, my _partners and myself were digging a tail race through a river bar. Encountering many large poison oaks, we cut the roots with mattocks and pulled them. out with naked hands. The sap from the roots stained my hands almost black.

Doctor Pollard (now of New York) pronounced it the severest case he ever met with. All said I must die. , . Finally as a last hope an old Indian medicine man belonging to Captain lowa: ‘Take poison oak roots, bark and leaves, boil until a strong tea is made, give one glass full, put the patient between woolen blankets and in a few days he will be well and will never take it again.’ I persume he meant I would never again take such adose. Badly off as I was;however, I respectfully declined experimenting just at that time preferring to wait and take my chances. After intense suf> fering for many days I got well. Then I had another consulation with the great. medicine man, he assuring me by his standing in the tribe that I would not ‘take’ poison if his advice was followed. I resolved to try jit, but in this case. the medicine man changed his prescription a little. He said to first take some green leaves of the shrub and some young twigs; put them in my mouth and chew them; swallow the juice; then in a day or two drink some of the poison tea, and I would never take poison again. I chewed some leaves and twigs, only did not swallow the juice. Had I done so, Nevada county’sschool census would probably now be considerably less than itis.

The Wyoming company had a patent dated after the location under which the plaintiff claimed priority. The court held that the possession . of & patent by the defendant was an adjudication by the Land Department of the Government that the defendant had complied with the laws of Congress entitling it to the patent at the time it filed its application therefor; and as the application for patent was proof of a possession antedating the claim of plaintiff, the deféndant was the first locator, and as the first locator took the entire ledge from the point o. junction downward. Thus ‘the plaintiff was awarded the ownership of the lode which cropped in its ground down to the point of junction. The defendant was adjudged: the-owner of the lode which cropped in its ground down to the point of junction, and to the entire ledge from the point of union downward. As it appeared that the defendant had extractcd a small ‘amount of quartz from the portion of the lode awarded to plaintiff, plaintiff was awarded $120 damages.

Not long ago, a lady who makes patchwork comforters for the Fruit and. Flower .“Mission reported that Grant Jacobs, of Nevada City,. was lying at No. 6) Third street in a helpless and destitute condition with a ofthe spine. He is a splendid specitnen of manhood, but the poor young fellow has become so despondent that he was on the eve of suicide when. visited by ladies of the mission. Hle has been suffering from ,spinal trouble for three years past, caused by straining himself while working in a logging cainp. ; He was born in Nevada City, and is 21 years Old, but has never been to school. He and an elder brother are al] that are left of the family, as the mother and sister died within. a few mouths of each other, about five years ago. The two boys worked in-a logging camp, and had managed to buy four good horses, but soon after -the mother’s death the horses died with gland. ers, and the boys were obliged—te mortgage the. little house for money enough to buy-another team. Soon after, Grant fell ill, and then the strogzle te take care of him and pay off the mortgage f ll on the. elder brother Henry. In the summer season-he is_able to earn $40.a-month, but in bad weather the logging-camps are deserted, and it takes quite a sum to keep the team through the winter, Last July Henry persuaded Grant to come to this city tor treatment, and he was sent to the German Hospital, where he remained three months, but as his funds became exhausted, he was allowed to l-ave the institution without any improvement being made in his case. Since then-he has drifted .from one physician to another, the last being Dr. Lane, who put him in a plaster cast, afterhe had undergene the heroic treatment administered to Clara Morris. This put him in bed, and he has been kindly cared for by Mrs, Conroy who keeps the house at No. 60 Third street, where he is. She gives him his food, and the Young Men’s Christian Association have also interested themselves,and the brother sends a little money every week. diseas * In the last four weeks the Visiting Committee of the Fruit and Flower Mission have tapght their patient to read and write, and Mrs. Frank Kellogs has taught him the tables in arithmetic and provided him with a ‘small blackboard, where he works out simple examples, copying them all on paper for her to correct. He wrote his first letter to his brother yesterday, and its penmanship did bim credit, though the spelling was.a little shaky. He has been a great sufferer, but his case is not hopeless. ——-— + — — + 2@e + The Debaters in Council. The school of oratory known as the Nevada City Debating Society had a rather spirited session Friday evening. Che bone of contention was the question as to whether or not it would be beneficial to the interests .of this State and people to have California divided into two States. Much _ eloquence and argument: came from both sides of the house, and at one stage of the proceedings the situation became so warm that Mr. Stewart, acting in the place of President Hedde. whowas educating his heels at the benefit ball, remarked with a sarcastic tinge in his tone thut he-would open allthe win lows oi the hall and let in® some of the night air were hé» not afraid that if he did the debaters would disturb the dancers three block away.

He held up to ridicule the practice of members bringing slingshots, brass knuckles,rerevolvers and loaded canes to the meetinzs, and condemned the judge of the debates for leaning his head back se that he left a big grease-spot on the wall and when asleep disturbed and distracted ihe speakers by his snoring. He went on at this rate through several pages‘ef musk-scented note paper, and wound up by a mirth-provoking dissection of a young newspaper n.an’s articles on the culture of manzanita gerries and the civilization of the Digyer Indian.

F.,for the benefit of the widow and three children of their lately deceased fellow-chevalier, Henry Hurst, was a marked success in all that goes to make a public party enjoyable to those connecied with it either as managers or guests. By nine o’clock all of the seats in tbe gallery were taken, and the standing room back of the benches was in demand, About that time the floor began to fill up, and in afew minutes a vast throng of ‘people were impatiently awaiting the. signal for thefestivities to begin. “The rich uniforms of ‘the chevaliers blended barmoniously with the stylish apparel of the four-score handsome ladies and the sober black of the sterner sex who trained not in martial colors. . The orchestra consisted of Prof. Goyne and Messrs. Davis, Carter and Godair, and the music they furnished was well executed. The grand march, containing about seventy-five couples, was led by IF. G. Beatty of the Canton and his wife, the other members of the order and their ladies constituting the: right of the procession which moved with a precision that made an imposing spectacle. The exhibition drill by fifteen chevaliers under command of Captain Geo. A. Gray took place about ten . o’clock and. by its excellence won for the corps the highest praise. The movements Were executed in threes and multiples thereof, according to the society’s tactics,and embraced a wide varie'y of standard and fancy figures; . The wheelings, obliques, to the rear and open order marchings, stars, ‘crosses, circles, etc., were executed with a regularity of alignment and step and a prom ptness in obeying commands that elicited praise.

The hardj est “tough” a the city A lay nigh ‘to throes of a death, and the pains which twisted his muscles were enongh to shorten his breath. And another came to console him, but called him-a “hardened wretch,” and the “tough” reached down for a bootjack and “caught him an ugly fetch.” And strange as the story seemeth, the first. 'scaped deadly toil—while the other was killed with the bootjack—he was cured by St. Jacobs Oil. So the Oil was true to ita . mission, but it’s rather a sing’lar fact that a wretch should live in spite of all and a good man go to rack.
