John stopped his go-cart near the southern junction of Main and Spring Streets and went into a house to de liver some vegetables. The horse thought it a very opportune occasion to have a spin about town and so took his departure sans ceremonies, sans driver, when John came out of the house his rig was a long distance down the road and the animal was making dust, vegetables and all su perfluous trappings fly in every direc tion. This was too much for John's patient nature to stand, and forgetting the Christian training which lie had received in this country he exclaimed "Ho! stopee, hosse; dam!" The rem nants of the runaway equippage were finally brought to a halt by a friendly individual down the road, and John rejoiced and was exceeding glad.

Tlie Scientific American publishes a description, with diagrams, of an ap paratus designed to furnish a simple, safe and cheap sewing-machine motor. Tlie power used is clock-work, and may be attached to any machine. The novel parts of the machinery are the appliances for securing a uniform ex ertion of power during tlie running down of the clock spring, and for reg ulating or altogether stopping the running of tho machine. These ap pliances cannot be described to detail without the use of diagrams, but it is sutficient to state that in winding up the spring a crank is turned which winds a chain first around the larges portion of a spirally grooved drum, and that when the clock-work is set in motion it begins to unwind the chain from the smaller part of the drum. Strong power is thus made to act on short levers. A brake, worked by the foot regulates the rate of speed at which the machinery is run, and a lever terminating in a knob on the top of the table, is arranged so as to stop the machine at the will of the operator. The Scientific American states that, in a trial of the appara atus, eight turns of the crank made in the direction from the operator,wound up tlie spring and set the machine in motion at full speed, estimated at 270 stitches per minute for twenty min utes. It is estimated that the machine would furnish power for continuous work for half an hour. In the trial the needle was driven through many thicknesses of muslin or linen. Nevada Items. All of the Silver City mills are run ning, full blast, on ore from the Com stock and neighboring mines. The lumbermen and wood-cutters are now very actively engaged every where among tlie timber ranches along the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Good progress is being made in the erection of tlie heavy foundation walls ofthe large new mills of the Consoli dated Virginia Mining Company. The principal walls are about completed, but there is much heavy stone-work yet to be done about the foundation of the batteries aud engines. Repotts from the new placer mines in the Bruneau Mountains state that the mines have been greatly overrat ed. Two or three Frenchman have been working in the Bruneau region for about two'years, and have made small wages—two or three dollars per day—and this is about as much as anybody can make in any diggings yet found in the country. A greater amount of prospecting is beine dane in the western Part of the State this season, says the Virvinia Chronicle, than is generally supposed, it is not confined to a searcti after silver-bearing ledges, but coal, cobalt, borax, and quicksilver are sought for, and some valuable mines have been discovered.
