Hope the sheet will come out with a tatter face than its predecessor gave it, and stand by the people as dots the Journal, and not a few individuals. A good county ollicial does not need a paper of his own to keep him up. The Herald says of Clod Hopper, whom he charges as Oerlath, 'St is not very encouraging to settlement to talk THE MYSTERIOUS "AGESCT." "As I said in the preceding part of my narrative, Fred was just disposing of a whiskey straight, however, by a strong exertion of will, in a manner probably as you see it sometimes exercised in mes merism, I succeeded in getting him t his room and to take the "agency" pre pared for him." "His body at once became at my dis posal, and entering it I found that at last the experiment was complete. I w'as hardly satisfied with my quarters as thd whiskey straight I had seen had probably been proceeded by several others and while of course my sober mind controll ed the body, the odor accompanying my breath, or his, was almost overpowering. I was however at liberty to enjoy the full fruits of my discovery, and stepping out in the hall, was going down to take a look at the city, when I was stopped by a very nice looking gentleman. 'Mr. Jones' he said, 'Should ' I hurriedly interrupted him and explained, or tried to, that I was not Mr. Jones, but through the medium of the greatest discovery of the age, I was Mr. Brown walking around on Mr. Jones's legs. "He looked at me a moment I wish it were in my power to describe that look, but no language could possibly express half of what it implied." " 'Well Mr. Brown' said he, 'I have to inform you that your friend Mr. Jones,' who has so kindly lent you himself, owes me for one week's board to-day, and unless the amount is forthcoming to-night' 1 waited to hear no more. I have duns enough of my own to take care of and put oir, without shouldering Fred's, besides, by night I would lie at home and wouldn't need to trouble alnnit any body else's business. " ' was sfion on the street enjoying the sights and the sounds of the Huh, with out a thought of Jones or anyone else, when a hand was laid on Jones's shoul der, fur from gently, and a gruff voice remarked: 'Say young fellow is your name Jones?' " again explained that I was not Jones, but that I was Brown inhabiting J mes' carcass temporarily, by means of and tc. " 'Well Mr. Brown' he said, ' am go ing to wipe the street up with Jones' tMvnsK, but of course as you 'aint Jones it doesn't mutter to you.' "from the lieginning of the speech J found myself considering what Jones would do under the circumstances and think I decided right, because Jones's legs made a tatter run of it that time than 1 thought they were capable of. This thing of being taken for Jones was getting embarrassing and as I had some relatives in Boston whom I had never I seen, I concluded to make them a call and then hurry back to my Jones' lodg ings' in time to get back home according to agreement, so finding a policeman 1 in puired the way and walked around. I was very kindly received, and as they had never seen hie, did not have to make any embarrassing explanations. Time pleasantly spent asses rapidly, and be- lore J was thinking of leaving a queer feeling of taing lost began to come over of bloodhounds," arid the Herald js ur. arm i lea rnyseu grauuany .eav.r.g ;,t. f ik... i.,.n.i,..

In a moment I was concious of made the threat that " f an v man votd 1 8fe'"B Jones apparently in a dead faint herd law and i uul lne "SemT ivs noi strong enougu for that contemptible came to his place he would set the hounds on them." Now the Herald wants to shame the correspondent for mentioning it. It is a wonder lie did not put an editorial just below, about the bulldozing in the south. Tlie fact is that truth hurts the Herald when the af fairs of this county are mentioned. A Farmer's Alliance nreeting was held at Mr. John Hunt's recently. Jfrl Steve Serres, living on Hat creek, is very fortunate in settling wliere he will get a railroad. A road built through his homestead in Lukota, the B. & M. is building through his tree claim and another road is surveying across his pre-emption, it will probably build and should give him a depot. "-We are glad to welcome Mr. Pratt as one of our nearest neighbors and another quarter of Uncle Sam's best land is ta ken as a homestead. A school1 district is at last organized and the building of a school house will soon be in progress. Weed Wrestler. Jones's stioes when he comes to in that parlor, drunk.

The B. & M. graders are at work near Sugar Loaf., Several lialls and shooting matches were the amusements during Christmas week. Some time Rince there appeared a card of thank's in the Herald and Republican, to Judge Hunter and others, for estab lishing two roads through the valley. The county records show that the Hon. Judffe and his men were well paid, and therefore not entitled to any additional pay of thanks. Furthermore it now appears that they didn't establish but ouepoad, and now we are inclined to be lieve it was only one of the Judge's dirty st Ivjnes to use the county funds to pay (.(fin obligation 1m u.ay have owed his understrappers for work. We pray that the Ring may either re form and be honest men, or go and hang themselves as Judas did. In either case we would be happy. HARDWARE, FUTURE, STOVES, TINWARE, BARBED WIRE, - AND A BIG - .

Now here the trouble began. The doses of the "agency" were timed exactly alike, and while I had ta ken (nine at the time agreed o.., Jones had lieeh some time longer. I had found it impossible to take possession of Jones before Jones was out but on coming back, when the power of the "agency" had expired, 1 took possession of myself without regard to Jones's occupancy. Here was a pretty state of allairs, two minds in one body! and moreover Jones's mind was drunk and mine was sober. My mind wanted to go home; Jones's wanted another drink, and I that is my body went this way and that according to which mind happened to gain the as cendancy for the time being. I succeed ed in getting out of the place onto the street, talking to and trying to reason with Jones all the time: but Jones was drunk and would talk too and an unin telligible murmur was the result. Jones soon liegan to get mad, and although I tried my best to control him, he would at times get possession of one of tlie hands and scratch tlie face. Sometimes 1 would have control of one hand and one leg arid Jones the other ,and there would lie a contest as to which was the stronger. All this time Jones was get ting more and more crazy. I suddenly seemed io loose all control for a mo ment. I was concious of Jones catching hold of a lamp post and falling and then I came to in ;the police station.
