GAMBLING.

Thi. most pernicious and demorslising
vic. seems 10 be inherent In the human race.
The children Of the forest. the savage In his
native wild-. who have never heard or
dreamed of civilization. will put all that is
to them or value. upon the hazard OF some
rude game Of chance whilst some Of the
mightest inicllecis the world has ever seen
have fallen into position Of positive injury
to their fellow man, solely through the agen
cy Of this one abominable and degrading
passion.
When we cast our eyes around us and see
the extent to which gambling is practiced in
California we might say the extent to which
Il is carried on in this immediate vicinity.
We cannot repress 4 shudder at the thought
of the inevitable consequences which must
attend il. victims. and the certain doom
which must sooner or later overtake its
infatuated votaries.
How many a young man full Of hope.
and giving promise Of . useful future, has
fallen into the lowest depths of degradation u
solely through the one vice Of gambling.

Of dear ones who left them full OF promise o
and high aspirations. might have been joy

the gaming table eptapgled the object of
their regard in his deadly arms. How many

decay stamped indell'bly upon his counte-
nance. now hangs round the bar rooms Of
this very village q useless and worthless
me mber OF society, mark for the finger Of
scorn, WIN. had be summed the card table.

community.
The laws against gambling are and have
always been dead letter upon the Statute
book Of our state. and they will remain so
as long as those occupying high official and
social positions. not only fail to set upon il
the seal OF their dsapprobation. but worship
themselves at its shrine thereby setting an
example frsught with the most evil conss'
quences to others even should they them
selves be able to aveid. the full extent oi
degradation 10 which all who indulge in
games OF chance are most assurde.y liable.

SURGICAL OPERArIoy-Th Nevada Dem
ocrat informs us that q few days ago. DIR.
Hunt at Nevada aud DI. Z. A. Tompkins of
this village performed the operation OF Ire
phining the Cranium OF Mr. J. V. Watson of
Nevada. who W as suffering from the COM
preston Of the brain. resulting from wound
in bis forehead. made by turning ten pin
ball in lathe. On exposing the Uranium
it was found that small piece of wood had
been driven through the outer table Of the
skull, making SO small a fracture, aud leav-
ing the bone so smooth externally. that NO
injury could we'll be detected by Auy exam
iuation with the probe. On removing the
piece Of wood, and portion of bone by the
trephin ne. the inner table Of the skull was
found TO be broken extensively. and ia small
pieces all of which were carefully removed
the brain relieved, and Mr.. W. rescued from
inevitable, and speedy death. This case is
very interesting in two respects
lst, 1t proves that cutting down upon and
exposing the Uranium is indispensable when
ever compression Of the brain exists from
blows. while no external fracture OF the bone
is observable by the use of the probe, and
I'd, That the inner table Of bone may be
extensively fractured. while the external
table may be but little injured, or even not
al all.
