have the leisure, or whose sedentary pur-
suits require exercise, there Is no mo s
pIeasan, walk in this whole neighoorhooo
afforded them, than along the toll-road to
American Flat. The eye IS constantly
,Isassd with the variety OF objects to be
sesp the ear awakened TO sounds Of active
I;fs while the mind is kept constantly eS-
crc;sed by the thoughts and fancies which
all these are sure TO suggest. In passing
along, the snow-clad Sierra seems to
wall-in, as it were. the entire prospect.
Grand, majestic and beautiful, it certainly
ia, presenting an outline in which the va
rious characters of peak, unbroken range,
deep gorges-spotted here and there with
dark masses, where the density Of the
forest looms out from the snow beneath
are distinctly seen. Within this circle,
appears the broken range that bounds the
Carson river, marking unerringly its
course TO the Desert. AS the eye falls IN
its survey to objects nearer and beneath
the smoke from scores OF stacks stream
out, while from within the mills, the
pounding Of the never-ceasing stamps
show that busy life is there. Mills, foun-
dries, stores, churches, school houses ana
dwellings attest the power OF wealth. anu
industry, and mark the progress mace IN
converting a barron region TO the ooaeo
an active civilization.

SurcrDE.-Las, evening about 10 o'clock,
E. F. Glover, Of American Flat, and for
merly Assemblyman from Storey county,
committed suicide at the Tahoe House, by
shooting himself through the heart with a
derinser. He had three deringers. One
~(discharged) lay on the bed beside him,
and two loaded ones on a chair near the
bed. He left q note addressed to Judge
Aldrich, which read as follows: IL am
about TO start on q journey to that bourne
from which no. traveller ever returns.
Cause, woman! So goodbye. L. F.
Glover" The report Of the deringer was
heard shortly after Mr.. Glover entered his
room. Persons in the vicinity entered
almost Immediately and found him dead.
He had taken off his boots, and was lying
stretched out upon his bed as straight as
though his friends had laid him out. His
shirt was on FIRE. when he was discovered
dead.
TERRIBLE AccIDgSr.-On Sunday last,
a, Weston's Quartz Mill, near Dayton,
Simon Slavi,ch-one OF the proprietors OF
the mill-was very badly injured IN the
following manner: He was engaged
with Others ih removing a mortar. a
battery bed. weighing $500 pounds when
i, slipped from the balance, as they COM
menced lifting it. and fell upon the I'M
fortunate man. Il crushed him 10 the
ground and the workmen had great dith-

from his body. II broke his shoulder
blade, and is supposed to have injured
him, somewhat, internally. Mr.. Slavitch,
however, is, TO the surprise Of all who
witnessed the accident. doing well-ap-
aren,ly on the fair way to resume his

their friendly grip and notice the interest

there were offices for all these men, for it
is impossible that they could ever put on
airs after election, or feel that they had

part we shall vote for them all.
YELLOW JACKET HOSE Co.'s BENEFIT.
We dropped in for a few misuses last
evening to witness the exhibition got up
for the benefit of this Company. The at
tendance was not quite as large as we
could have desired, yet the character OF
the audience made up for all deficiencies.
We noticed, particularly, the large attend
ance of ladies, who, bless their souls, are
always ready TO appreciate merit. We
Judged our "ire laddies" were quite
~favorites with them. Mr.. Wormer is GER
tainly deserving Of commentator for the
liberality which he displays TO worthy
objects wherever he goes. At Virginia,
Gold Hill and Silver City. he has shown
this. Success to him.
ACCIDENT AT II CROWN PoINr MINE.
As a man was ascending the shaft Of the
Crown Point Mine to. day at half-past IL
o'clock, and when at the 230 feet level, a
rock from above struck him upon the SIDE
of the forehead, cutting it severely-as the
the same time glancing and cutting and
;niuring his cheek-bone. His head was
turned partly upward a, the time, or other
wise had the rock struck him squareiy
upon the head. there would have been a
small chance for his life. Carelessness on
the par, of the man sweeping around the
month Of the shaft. or Of another passing
