MELANCHOLY DBArH.-We are indebt-

named ]. 2. Stanton, an employee of tn
Manhattan Mill, just below Washoe City
on Sunday morning last. Mr.. Stanton
had beer employed for some time at thi
mill, and was noted for his sober, quie
and industrious habits. The work b,
was performing when he so suddenly los
his life. was his regular task day after day
and how the accident occurred can only
be accounted for from the fact of his hav.
ing sc repeatedly executed the work anc
had become so familiarized with il, thai
for a moment he was thrown OFF his care.
full guard, and by the slightest accident
possible. his arm was caught in the rapidly
revolving cogs, and his earthly career SC
unhappily ended. About 5 o'clock in the
morning he was in the act of oiling por-
lions Of the machinery, when some por-
ton Of his clothing was caught between
two cog wheels, and his entire body drawn
between the " in a horribly crushed and
mangled condition. His right arm and
one foot were completely severed from the

"WHAr's II News IF We hear
that unusual remark once u year, we GER
tainly are compelled TO hear it at least
fifty times in every passage we make up
c street, and Of all in,olerable, unbearable,
uncomfortable, internally disagreeable ques-
tons in the State. and boring" inquiry
of whats the news" is the worst in the
calendar. Rundown politicians, one-
horse brokers, seedy spectators, inquisi-
tive matrons Of sober years, and sober
maidens ofinquisitive years-in fact every
body who chances TO know q fellow
ink. seem to think Il not only q right, but
a duty, TO inquire each day, hour and
minute of a business which is not, should
not, or ever can be, any Of their corporate
or individual concern. Now We are tired
Of this Internal witness-stand position,
and although Jul temper is as mild as a
pan Of milk, we have made up our mind,
deliberately, determinedly and irrevo-
cably, that the next chunk of humanity
who p~ropounds that query to us will, in
MI probability, be politely informed that
it is none Of his Cor herr id business.
We now feel better.
DUsrY.-While b street was, yesterday,
kept nicely sprinkled and the dust kept
low, C street was the scene of terrific
whirlwinds Of dust, filling stores and
houses with dirt, and keeping clerks and
househeepers busily employed all day
long with busters. The reason for so
much dust lying and flying around
loose, seems to be that the storekeepers
and residents of the street object TO pay
ing the amount the sprinkling contractor
demands, and hence he drew off his carts
and allowed the delinQuents to breathe
the balmy atmosphere Of dust, causing
calculations Of indignation and severe ex-
pressions of condemnation not pleasant to
ears refined. We hope the difficulty may
be at once adjusted, and the carts resume
their duties.
CoNsoLIDATED.-The Uncle Sam Conn.,
pany's works are closed, and have been
for some two months. There has been an
arrangement made between that company
and the Overman, by which all their old
difficulties have been settled, and the two
companies in fact-though not yet in
name-cousolidarcd. The ledge is being
steadily worked, and considerable quan.i-
ties Of rock are being taken GU BY the
Overman company. That company has
recently sent 10 mill about 800 tons Of
ore, but Us yet have had no returns from
it. Judging from the appearance Of the
rock, we think the returns will be very
satisfactory when they do come in.
ARM YoURsELvEs.-Fred. Schoneman
s. Co., No. 10 North C street, Virginia,
have constantly on hand. and for sale at
the lowest cash prices, all kinds Of cut
lery, guns, pistols, locks, and such things
as are dealt in by persons in the gunsmith
and locksmith trade. There is the place
for prospectors to fit themselves out before
going into the mountains on prospecting
expeditions. There is where you can get
your repeater or derringer repaired in the
best manner. or duplicate keys made TO 6s
any lock. II you want anything in their
line, give them a call.
GALENA.-We learn from a friend that
this town which was nearly destroyed by
fire some few weeks since is being rebuilt.
and already several business establish
ments have PhGnix.like arisen from the
a,hes. Galena is the numbering town of
Nevada. and our mines and mills are
largely dependent for timber and wood on
that section of country. We are glad to
learn that Galena will again be q flourish
ing town. for the inhabitants are ar ener-
seric people. and better than all, abolition
lists to the core. We wish them success.
OPERA MELoDEoN.-This famous place
of amusement continues to be crowded
nightly with people who like to enjoy a
good hours fun. Senorita Maria, Carrie
Chapman. Flora Bray, Mrs. Sam Wells,
besides the irrepressible Walter Bray, and
Others, continue to appear nightly in songs
and dances of the melodron order. Lew
Rather, Della Sager, and some other new
talent. appear on Thursday night in the
strongest bill Of the season. Everybody
should remember, and be there.
PRscocIoUs.-We saw q child, who
could not have been more than three
wears old, near Olin's stable, yesterday,
smoking a common clay pipe with as
much gusto as his father could have done.
Talk about the iorwardness of California
children , We think this instance OF
Washoe education will cap that of any
we ever heard of as emanating from over
the mountains but whether it will re-
fleet TO our credit or not may be regarded
as q mooted question.
FROM THE TRucHEE.-We learn that
