ceedings, and everything passed off with
the utmost harmony and good feellng-as
Is always the case in the public gatherings
in Gold Hill. when our neighbors over the
hill are not present. ....
As Storey county has become a second
Sampson in this State. it is to be hoped
tina. our lawmakers at Carson will shear
him of some Of his superabundant locks,
by segregating the innocent virgin under
the hill, and cutting loose the unconge-
NAL ties which bind her to quarrelsome
household.
