E. IlriiHAiiD, Prop. George Humphrey is having hard luck. He has a case on hand which he can neither get Hillerman or Stratton, attorneys at law, to take hold of. It runs something after this fashion A Bev.

Ketchum preached a missionary sermon at Shellroek a few mouths ago, in which he made the statement that it took but ten cents to convert a heathen. At the conclusion of the sermon the contribution box was passed, and Mr. H. being minus ten cents promised to bring it the next time. During the interval between sermons Mr.

II. prospered beyond li is most sanguine expectations and "was able to deposit twenty cents upon the altar, and have two heathens credited to him. So far, so good. But recently he saw the statement in some newspaper; made by a missionary who had labored twenty years in some south sea island, that it took twenty years labor and $2,000 before a Heathen could be induced to wear a red flannel petticoat. And now Mr.

II. wants to bring suit for the recovery of the twenty cents, and being a poor man makes the foU lowing proposition to the avaricious lawyers, which they flatly refuse to accept: Incase they should gain the suit, they were, to have one-half the twenty cents recovered, or in casethev should lose it, if upon investigation it was touuel that the heathen were trans ferable, he would relinquish all right, title and interest in one of them to fee the. attorney. Oh, the heartless ven ders of the law they have no compas sion upon poor, dawntrodden Immun Sever George, they will some day wish they had a heathen placed to their credit. B.

Had the company possessed ten millions of dollars work could not have been executed in such weather as we have had in the past two months. Tlie contractors stuck to it as long as iere was any show to put in two or three days a week. Major Fuller assures us that active work will be resumed by the 10th of next month at the farthest, and push ed with vigor. From Kiiu.OOU to $30,000 have already been spent in this enterprise prompt payment being its rule and it is not at all probable that this movement is to lie idle when there is every reason and inducement-to push on to Eureka at the earliest moment. The road has had 110 greater delays than every one which lias been built in this section.

In fact, work was not to bo commenc ed, according to the Lyon county proposition, and also that of Greenwood, until the bonds along the route, to the south line of the State at the rate of $4,000 per mile were in escrow, and et we hud that nine miles are graded; that a large lot of ties are 011 and that the Cottonwood bridge is far toward eohipletion. More would have been done but for the failure of the ontractor, who only lately gave up his contract. It is now probable that the daily mail route from here to Eureka will not be let, as usual, the government reserving that work for the narrow gauge, which it lias ascertained to its ttisfaction will be running trains to Eureka by the 1st of July, the date at which the new period of mail service will go into effect. So far as there being anything to'complain about at the progress ot the enterprise, we tnink, under all the circumstances, it has made good progress, and its early completion is very promising. we snail be disappointed it there are not some two hundred teams and men browing dirt at a lively rate by this time next month.

Nothing but im possible difficulties ill prevent it. Last year Geo. P. 8tork, south of the Cottonwood, dug up apctrilied section of a mastodon's leg. It is about live feet long, one foot in diameter at the lower, and two or more feet in diame ter at its upper end.

Mrs. Nellis killed and dressed an or- inary sized chicken live months old. last Friday morning, and was so as tonished at the enormous size of its liver that she threw away the chicken imd sent the liver down town. It weighed just one pound, and it seemed to be perfectly formed and healthy, and the hemt attached to it was of the ordinary size for a young chicken; COLE Burlington, Sell goods at bottom prices and that he Is unable to come to town This is his first boy, and he feel nroud, oh, so proud Correct: he good reason to feel that way.

Cleve land laid on our table last Tuesday a perfect petrifaction of a section of bumble bee's honey comb after the honey had been- extracted. It showed the cells in almost as perfect a state as on the day in which it was completed It was taken trom one ot his coal pits on his farm, half mile south of town, at a depth of about live feet tinder the earth. He searched long and anxious ly for a petrified bumble bee, but tjie b. u. was non est.

AVe invite the attention of bug-ologists to the fact that it would be cheaper for them to secure petrified specimens of Mr. Cleveland, as it would be a great saving in expense in the way of alcohol. It is said that while a sheriff had a desperado in tow on the Fort, Scott Gulf railroad, one day last week, that the "bird" gave him the slip hile the train was running at the rate of twenty miles an hour.

The prisoner was liaud-cuncd and shackletL and jumped from the train near Garnett. By the time the train was stopped, the prisoner was ought of sight. The dense fog that prevailed, at the time prevented an object being diseernable a few roils away. The shcrifi offered for the apprehension of the criminal, which a city marshal and assistant thought to take in immediately. They started in hot pursuit, taking a westerly direction.

They soon struck the trail as they thought. They learned that a man on foot, wearing a white hat, dressed rather thinly, sporting a ponderous pair of boots and lugging a black gr'rp sack, had been joined by another individual somewhat taller, with their faces set toward the west, turning neither to the right nor the left, and never halting, except to solicit a slice of "hoe cake" to apjwase the cravings of the inner man. They tracked them as far as Lena Valley, five miles east of Madison, where they found the fellows had lieeu given a slice of bread by a little girl, and right here they lost the trail. Near this place they fell in with-Wm. Finch, who was on his way home from Burlington.

They stopiM'd with him last Sunday night, and came to Madison Monday morning hi the ho(e of again striking the trail, 'i'bev tarried here a few min utes, and learned that the white hat and black grip sack were comfortably Heavy and Shelf Hardware, mm rami ll I I 11' WAGON lilAJJUl W.
