Mf. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Our town hes been In one con.
tinued state OF excitement since last wrote
you, from the numerous shooting afIrays &c
that have been going on. will not attempt to
detail to YOU an account OF the many and sew
eral different cases but will stale more particu-
iarly the last aud most outrageous of all. and
that was a murdcrous attack upon llo u li,or
aud Printers in the Rocky Mountain Ncws
Office.
About a week since MIR. Byers, The Editor Of
the News, published sn account Of shooting
onroy which took place at Cibola llol and in
which Que Prof. Stalk colored man was
killed by gambler named Charlie Harrison.
Mr. Byers denounced it rs 4 wil!ul murder to
which Harrison very reluctantly took ollenc'
lie went to the ice with several Of his friends
aud demanded Of Byors to dctract. Mr. Bycs
told him that when he proved himself not gull
ty he would take back what he had said and
not before. MIR. Harrison then left 6ut soon re-
IL nd with Judge Waggoner, who set forth
that Mr. Harrison hal cndeayored TO get trial
aud wanted to get lht matter Investigated, but
that it was the general opinion that it was a
case of iuatiilbla homicide aud The people cod
not be gotten together to have an Investigation.
Mr.. Bycrs published this statement in the iorm
Of circular and added note signed by him
= SELF to the effect that the statement Of judge
+, Wuggoner presented quite different complex
ion to the case and vppuogz'ng Tor what lie
had previously stated. this satisfied Mr., Narri.
son aud the matter rested quietly for several
days, but on Friday last as Mr. Byers was sclt-
ing in his sonctum engaged in writing, four arm.
ed men rushed in, and one OF them, Carl Wood
4 taking Bycrs by the collar presented revolver
. to his head demanded "now come along will

The Toli-Gate of Life.

We are all on our journey. The world
through which We are passing is in some
respects like a turnpike all along which
Vice and Folly have erected toll-gates fol
the accommodation of those who choose
to call ss they go--ond there are very few
OF all the host of travellers, vino do not
occasionally stop little at some one OF
another of them-and consequently pay
more or less to the toll gatherers. Pay
more or less say, because there is great
variety as well in the amount, as in the
kind of toll exaCted at these different stop
ping places.
Pride and Fashion take heavy tolls oil
the purse-mlny a man has become beg,
gar by paying at their gates The ordi'
nary rates they charges are heavy, and
the road that way is none of the best.
Pleasure offers very smooth, delight
ful road in the outset; she tempts the
traveller with many fair promises, and
wins thousands, but she takes without
mercy like an artful robber, she allures
until she gets her victim in her power,
and then strips him of health and money,
and turns him off miserable object, into
the worst and most rugged road of life.
mtemperAnce plays the part of stur-
dy william. He's the very worst toll. ll.gath,
erer on the road for he not only gets
from his customers their money and their
health, but he 1obs them of their very
brains. The men you meet on the road,
and ruined in frame and fortune. are his
visitors. And so / might 90 on enumer.
ating many others who gather toll OF the
unwary. Accidents sometimes happen,
it is true, along the road, but those who
do not get through at least tolerably well,
you may be sure have teen stopping by
the way at some of these places. The
plain common sense men, who travel
straight forward, get through the journey
without much difficulty.
This being The state of things, it be-
comes every one, in the outset, if he in
tends to make comfortable journey, to
take care what kind of company he keeps
in with. We are all apt to do great
deal as companies do.stop where they
stop, and pay toll where they pay. Their
the chances are one to ten, but our choice
in this particular decides our fate.
Having paid due respect to a choice ot
conpanloHsi INC neA1 lnportaht thlnS u
closely to observe how others manage to
mark the good or evil that is produced by
every course of life. see how those do who
do manage well by those means you
learn.
Be careful of your habits; these make
the man. And they require long and
careful culture. Good habits | speak of
Bad cnes are most easily acquired they
are spontaneous weeds, that flourish rap
idly and ranllly, without care or culture
