few words should be said on + tiring
rom the establishment with whose in

poyances, it has, TO one brought up and
accustomed to the business, charm
khat cannot be we'll understood by the

Ihe Nevada Journal, as q chronicle
Of the Development Of the wealth and
Resources Of this country, and as on adj
vocate OF its rights, has, we are pleased d
70 say, always been largely quoted from

estimation in which it is held abroad
while it's editors have enjoyed the pleas
ing satisfaction of beiieving that thev
performed their duty to their readers
as faithful, honest and impartial jour
nalists.
In firing from the Office, We do so
with ne fullest confidence that the es-
tablis' 1ent is left in able and compe-
tent hands. DIR. w, G. Alban is alread y
well known 10 the public of Nevada.
and in introducing Mr., A. A Sargent
as one of the future conductors of the
Journal, we do so, we'll assured that he
will be acceptable to the community at
large, while, as clear thinker and able
writer, the interests of Nevada will find
in him fearless advocate.
In conclusion, we would solicit for the
new firm continuance of that patronage
which has heretofore supported the
journal, confident that the gentlemen
in whose hands it is left, will richl,
merit it. w B. EVER, -

The Transcript says;
"Elias III dimes, colored man, came
to this city on Thursday from Auburn,
and took lodgings at the Warren House

tween five and six o'clock, another col
ored man by the name of J. ii. Cara
branch, went into the house in a partial
state of intoxication, and proceeded up
stairs declaring he would "shoot a mig.
ger" He went to the room where
Holmes and a number of others were
lying, and after some words with one
OF them who was awake he DISCHARGED
a pistol at Holmes, the ball entering
his head and causing immediate death"

thus strangely aud horribly dealt with

ACCIDENT. \ worthy German, named
John Shriner. met with Il serious misIor-
tune, in Grass Valley, on Monday last,
while'he was dccending a shaft on Gold
Hill, in the tub which is worked by q
windlass, the rope parted, and he fell
u distance Of forty feet, badly breaking
and mashing the right leg just below
the knee. The leg was set by Drs. Nc
Cormic & Miller, and hopes are enter
tanned that amputation will not be ne
cessary, although the condition of the
patient is still critical. 1t is really sur
prising that this kind of accident has
not occurred more frequently than it
it has; inasmuch as hundreds Of persons
in this vicinity are every day exposed to
similar dangers.
