Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-05-25
NIGHT.

80 am |. But 40 you kno" thHt
have learned to be glad when Saturday
night comes? have learned that since
| grew up. You know that was raised
in one of the most moral communities
in the land, but | used to hate Satur-
day, fairly hate it; because it was the
day before Sunday. Sunday used to
grin and bear. We had more hard
schooling on Sunday, in my native vii
lage, than on any other day OF the
week. Not kept SO long in school, but
required to have ready for recitation
more difficult lessons. Notwithstanding
we had a half-holiday on Saturday, |
used to dread it as the precursor OF Sun
day" Many Of our readers will recog-
nize their own youthful sentiments in
the above expressions. We do not pro-
TESS an attempt to spread out the whole
moral Of the matter; but we remind
parents that Sunday should be made a
day of rest and quiet recreation to little
children. Difficult and tedious Sunday
school lessons should not be required
Of them. Their present auticipations
of the day, and their experience in it,
should render it a golden season in
their retrospect-not a memory Of gloom
and sadness. This is now, we believe,
the generally recognized ''%propriety'
Of the day, and the austerities Of a Puri-
tanic Sunday are not regarded as COM
m.nded or warranted by any Scripture.
Surely, Sunday should be pre-emiuently
the brigh: day Of the week, with little
children.
The discovery Of the murderer Of Julia
Bulette has created Il profound sensa-
ton ia these communities. The first
credit Of making the Identification be-
longs to Mrs. Cazentre, Of this town,
and Martha Camp, Of Virginia city. The
murderer, Millen, seems to be one Of the
most blood guilty and hardened wretches
that the criminal record has ever shown.
He confesses his guilt, in the murder Of
Julia Bulette, and it is believed he will
tell Of many another similar deed before
his doom is pronounced. He will I'M
doubleday be sentenced to be hung, and
and it is really to be hoped tina, he will
not be p~ardoned. He appears to have
been = professional murderer.
The leading California journals have
correspondents in this State, local or
travelling, who are in concert in derid-
ing our people, prophecying that our
towns will soon become hamlcts, etc.
The letters Of correspondents, in Cali
fornia papers are extensively read, and
are copied by Eastern journals. The edi-
torials Of tho same journals are rarely
read at home, or copied abroad. This
is well known. In their editorial
columns, one or two of the San Francis
CO dsilies, have within the past week,
spoken f~avorably Of our State and its
prospects. That only, in a problemati-
cal kind of a way-if, and if, etc. Mean
while, the letters have definitely de-
clared " Washoe is played out"
On Thursday afternoon, Mr.. Earle
took formal leave OF his Christian
friends in this county, and has gone to
Carson where he will remain for a week.
His ministrstions in Virginia and
Gold Hill have been attended with signal
success, and could he have stayed in
our communities a month longer, he
would have wrought $ very great con-
verting work, indeed. He was only
getting "well acquainted" with our peo-
pie, when his engagements and his
health required his departure. Go
where you will, among those who lis
tened TO him, and you hear one and the
same earnest testimonial of respect, at
least, for the nan Many, very many
persons who went to hear him as ia
new preacher" merely, "stayed to pray"
And of those, Of the hundreds from
whom be had as yet only elected per-
soual regard and serious moral refec-
tions, no doubt he would have soon
counted hundreds Of converts. His
necessary leaving is deeply mourned.
Among the fruits of his preaching, is
the conversion Of several leading citizens
of Virginia. It is doubtful as to his
being able to 60 to Austin.
The weather has had great variations
during the week; one or two days de-
cidedly cool. Believe that summer is
in sight now, though. Roads have
greatly improved over the mountains,
within the last few days. Stages for
California now leave the Virginia office
at IL noon. The first of June will bring
the starting time down to Up. N. Stages
are crowded.
Most favorable news comes in from
outside Districts. Pine Grove, in par
ticulsr is looking up in bullion deliver
les. Our own mines never were better,
thank you ; over eight ton of bullion
shipped. It is said that the mines round
about Silver City-msny Of them-will
soon pass into working hands," and
will be thoroughly explored. There
must be pay rock inside Silver City's
lines. That getty" ought to belong
to Storey county. For particulars Of
bullion shipped, ETC., see u local col
INNS.
The Smallpox has broken out anew,
in Virginia city. We do not learn of
new cases'in Gold Hill. We are told
that there are twenty-nine cases in Vir-
ginia city. An entire family is said to
have been smitten with this fearful
scourge. Great attention to cleanliness,
refrsiningfrom the use of strong liquors,
and a spare diet are the best precautions
