Yesterday all that was mortal Of Colonel
McDermit was deposited in the grave and
will ere long become OF the dust Of earth,
but we cannot forbear at this time saving a
few words relative to $50 good 4 man."
Colonel McDermit has been long on this
Coast, and ever has been 4 staunch, true
and loyal citizen, possessed Of nearly all the
virtues and Of but few Of the vices Of man.
kind generally; his character was above re-
proach and his disposition so genial as to
call forth the sincere regards of his a~cquain-
tances n the warmeSt love Of his friends.
For some time past he has been the soul OF
the Nevada military, and has ever been
found in the front rank rs to the protection
Of our peoples rights, and the frontier men
have many causes 20 return thanks to the
noble dead for his answering courage and
unexampled persistcncy in standing by them
in the hours Of trial. When finally the dark
angel Of mortality touched the Colonel with
sailing wings, il was on the war trail and in
pursuance Of his duty that he was found, and
his last hours were those Of n brave man who
was conscious that he had done well his duty.
To his sorrowing widow this must indeed be
consoling, and to i legion OF friends who,
though mourning his loss, rejoice that he
died as he lived, in the full performance Of
his duty. Let the willows sigh gently DER
his grave; let the waterfall murmur sweetly
as it trembles to the sea, for where the Car
son rolls through silyery sands the remains
Of Colonel McDermit are lying, 4 remem-
france OF 4 pure and good man.
RUNAWAY Yesterday afternoon, three
men, of whom Tom Boynton was leader,
hired a two-horse buggy team Of \. S. DIN,
OF Virginia, and started for a ride. These
men have been contractors in the old Chollar
shaft, and on Saturday were paid some con-
siderable money, and started yesterday on I
lark, which they succeeded in getting in first
rate style. After riding in several places,
aad drinking several times, they went in with
a perfect looSeness, and laying the rcins on
the fender, piled the whip TO the team, and
while coming up ID street, ut the northern
portion Of the city, in passing 4 team, tipped
over the buggy, splitting the precious load on
the ground, and the horses, badly frightened,
ran away with the carriage, staying it in
many pieces, and totally demolishing.it. The
horses were finally thrown and stopped, when
ie was ascertained that the otf-horse was
badly injured, his legs being cut terribly, and
his off hind foot cut open At the fetlock Joint,
the muscles thereof being severed, or nearly
so. It was 4 pitiful sight TO see the poor
beast so MANNED, and we could hardly avoid
expressing the sentiment Of our heart, that
the horses were infinitely superior TO the
drunken drivers. A veterinary surgeon was
called upon, but failing to come, DR.. Bryarly
called in and carefully bound up the MANNED
limb Of the poor brute in Il scientific n
The horse can never be sound again, and the
damages to the entire team will range in tho
vicinity Of $500.
The KILLING or ~PISKWAM.-lt will be
recollected that SOM time since We publish
ed in the News the murder Of Sumner Pink
ham, by Ferd. Patterson, which occurred at
Idaho City last month. We read some let
tiers last evening, from Idaho City, under
date OF August I'd, addressed to James ].
Gore, Of Virginia, from John ii. Cassidy,
formerly a well-known citizen of Downieville,
Cal. From these letters, we learn that the
killing of Pinkham was .he most cold-blood-
ed murder that has ever been pcrpetrated-
the only cause for his assassination was the
simple fact that he was 4 native OF Maine,
and a fearless, outspoken Union man and
abolitionist. Brave as L lion, he gave the
rufian Patterson 4 fight after being twice
wounded, but the odds were too heavy and

The entire officials Of that county are seces-
sionists Of the most damnablc stamp, and at
the last election carried the county their
own way, and having the reins Of admins
trative Justice in their own fingers do as they
please; consequently Patterson had a slight
examination before some Secesh villain and
was discharged. II is q sweet old place, and
only needs the presence of n few of the chiv-
alry Of this county 10 make it the most dam
na6le spot in the world. But n day Of reck-
oning is coming, and these foul traitors Of
Idaho will grace the lower end Of a piece Of
rope.
SAVE THE HEAT.-Genard, Fourchie 4
Co. are having the steam boiler Of their mill
set in the furnace in a different manner from
that in which most Of the boilers for our
mills and mines are placed. The boiler,
which is Of the ordinary tubular kind, about
is feet in length and 4S inches in diameter,
is set with the smoke stack rising from the
back end, and the furnace is so constructed
that the heat and fire has to trave! three
times the length Of the boiler before It can
enter the smoke stack. When the smoke is
carried up from the front OF the boiler, and
the FIRE and heat travels only twice its length,
viz: back from the furnace along the outside
Of the boiler to the back end, and thence for
ward through the tubes or tlues to the smoke
stack, i, is well known that 4 large amount
of heat is lost, and that in most OF the smoke
stacks of our mills and hosting works so
much heat passes away that water can be
boiled in them at any point from the bottom
10 the top. If the heat which thus passes oil
can be Used, it will be 4 great saving IN this
country where fuel is so costly; and II these
gentlemen succeed in their experiment II
will be apt to work 4 complete revolution IN
the manner OF erecting furnaces for general
ing and heating steam for our mills ana
mining works.
MAN SHor.-Last Saturday evening, about
10 o'clock, q man named James CahIl was
shot, on South ID street, Virginia, between
the Bonner shaft and Smith street. The fol-
lowing are the ascertained particulars: Ca
hill, while walking towards his lodgings,
heard the report Of 4 pistol, felt 4 sting in his
back, and at once found he was shot. The
man called for assistance, and was conveyed
to a Chinese waSh-house contiguous, but was
subsequently removed to his own quarters.
He has no idea who fired the shot, rs the
night was very dark. DIR. Bryarly was called
10 the aid Of the wounded man., and found
that the bullet had struck Cahill in the center
Of the back, striking the bone and gianelnS
into the anterior muscles OF the side. The
wound is not dangerous, and Cahill vii! soon
be well again.
