Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1864-12-17
THE EVENING NEWS.


for long time, and We doubt if ever be-
fore has the weather been so severe. A
bitter cold wind has been blowing furi-
ously all day, hurting the light snow
which fell Yesterday into the faces OF
every one brave enough to confront 1t,
and chilling them through to the very
bones. Such weather IS certainly most
undesirable, Us it not only affects business
severely, but has tendency to increase
largely the price of every article OF con-
sumption. and gives the people the blues
worse than ever. Much suffering must
ensue among those destitute of wood,
provisions and clothing, ofwhich there are
not few in this vicinity, and we hope to
see pleasant weather reign supreme again
ere long.

MOUNTAINS SHEEP.-That one should
90 abroad to hear news from home, is an
old saying. Dan De guile says that
mountain sheep, weighing $50 pounds,
WAS killed near the city cemetery day or
two since, by Mr.. Decker of Gold Hill.
There were three of these animals, now so
rare IN these parts, in the flock. They
were probably driven out of the wilder
and more elevated mountain regions by
the storms or by the Indians. This is said
10 have been large one Judging by the
horns We have seen, said to have belonged
to this animal, we supposed medium
sized mountain sheep would weigh least
ton.
CANgLs.-About a dozen of these IN
calmly looking animals passed through
the streets of Virginia, to-day, attracting
considerable attention. The cold and
wind seemed rather offensive to them,
and, no doubt. they would prefer their

present one. We are informed that the
train will leave for Reese River, to-mor-
row. with provisions and supplies of va
rious kinds, and no dou0i Will be gladly
received BY the natives, q" f the prospect OF
being drifted ill.," is as favorable with
them rs us.
