Miss Travis, a lady who is stopping
at the residence of A. Wilson in this
city, and who is working up the tem
perance cause in this section, had a
very narrow escape from death one
day last week. She had been labor
ing all day preparing a lecture to be
delivered at the congregational cnurcn
and was suffering with a severe head
ache. Putting aside paper and pen,
she saturated her handkerchief with
chloroform and, laying down upon the
bed, placed the handkerchief over her
lace, hoping thereby to remove tne
pain in her head. Shortly after, Mrs.
Wilson's attention Was attracted by
the heavy breathing of Mies Travis,
and. on going to her found she conld
not awaken her. and becoming fright
ened, immediately sent for Dr. Rock-
hoid, who am vea just in time to ad
minister an antidote ami restore the
lady to consciousness; Had the Dr
been but a few minntes later in arriv

Early In the evening in company with
another young man, Robert went to

For the nurnose of aiding those who
are learning to swim large pieces of
cork were placed in the water. Upon
one of these he was paddling across
the pool and When in about the deep
est place, while reaching up to seize
his companion, Who had mounted a
trapeze arrangement, the cork shot
from, under and he went down in ten feet

Sir. H. D. Smith, of Humboldt, an
nounces himself this week as a candi
date for the office of county attorney,
subject to the decision of the Republi
can convention. His card speaks for
itself and explains his position, clearly.
He is so well known by the people
generally that words of praise are en
tirely uncalled for He is a straight
forward consistent Republican and as
such we could heartily recommend
him.
So far 119 delegates have been eiect
edgtothe State convention of which
number 57 are for St. John and 62
against. In this calculation all have
been given to St. John that has been
claimed for him. In most cases, we
have the statements of the local jour
nals in the counties that have elected
delegates.
Attorney General Devens will soon
