The following items are clipped from the
Nevada Democrat of Tuesday:
FATAL ACcIDENT.-Mr. VIM. NJ. Boiler. a.
workman employed at Leachs saw mill near
the Buena Vista ranch, was fatally injured on
Saturday week. 1t appears that the lumber
is carried out of the mill on car, which
runs on descending track. The unfortunate
man was riding on a car load of lumber, and
while descending the track at rapid rate,
he threw off heavy scantlng, one end of
which caught in such manner as to swing
the other end along the car, striking him a
terrible blow on the side and head. His left
arm was broken, his side and back badly
bruised, and the back of his skull fractured
The operation of trephaning was performed
by Drs S. C. Tompkins, and R. NJ Hunt,
but the injuries were so great that he died
last Sunday afternoon.
FALLING INTO SHAFTs,-Three men were
found dead in Grass Valley township last
week having been killed by falling into mining
shafts. The body of E. Tenberth, a miner at
work on, Sebastopol Hill, was found in a
shaft forty feet deep on Monday morning
He fell into it on the Saturday night previous.
On Tuesday n orning 81 man named Philips
was found dead in a shaft near Bear river
There was considerable water in it, and he
was probably drowned. On Thursday, the
body of another man, whose name we have
not learned, was found in mining shaft
near Bergans'.
- SERIOUS Lass.-We learn that Mr.. Joseph
Gardiner of Little York, was loser TO large
amount by the heavy gale of lastweek. The
fumes connected with the ditch were all de-
stroyed, and the cost of replacing them will
not be less than six or eight thousand dollars.
Besides this, he will lose the use OF the water
in the ditch for several months.
GETTING WELL.-We are informed that the
Chinaman, who was so badly injured last
Friday, near Turner's Mill, by tree falling
upon him, is likely to recover. It appears
that the tree fell upon his head, breaking
open his skull. and the poor fellow has lost
portion of his brains but under the skilful
treatment of DR. HI Hi, a celebrated surgeon
from Hong Kong, the injured celestuel is
doing finely.
A FEARFUL PlCTURE-THE UNBURIED DEAD
OF SYRIA-The Syrian correspondent of the
Boston Traveller, writes that more than ten
thousand human bodies still lie upon the
sides of Mount Hermon, in full view from
the sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean,
upon the plains of Sidon, the ancient
Phmnicia, blackening in the sun, and their
blood still cries out to Heaven for vengence
1t is an Oriental custom to leave the murdered
dead unburicd until Justice has been satisfied
and, although in Syria the effect of the
climate upon a dead body requires burial
within twenty-four hours of the departure of
the spirit from its earthly tenement, these
bodies remained endured in complete
state of preservation. In the courtyard
of the palaces, in the barracks, and wherever
the Christian has, fallen, there lies the body
now, still awaiting the vengeance of Heaven
on the oppressors and slayers of the Chris
tiars of Mt. Lebanon. Without entering into
an explanation of the physical causes which
have produced this mummifcation, it is
sufficient to say that the testimony of all.
confirms the statement. Wolves and hyenas
have, of course, done their work, but in all
inclosed premises the presence of the unbur-
led dead remainsa silent appeal to Him who
