Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-03-05

The Observation-Disclosures the testl-
val this evening, at Armory Hall, B
street, Virginia, for the benefit Of the
"Relief Fund" Here isan opportunity
to make a most excellent investment OF
50. If you can't 60 buy ticket. There
are a great many persons who are suf-
fering from cold and hunger. You are
morally bound to help those in distress.
But, aside from this, we are satisfied
that the people Of Virginia and Gold
Hill are a free and generous people, who
are ever ready to divide the last shilling
rather than see any n suffer. Let the
men show that they are ready to do
their part in the good work. The Ia
dies are using their utmost e%ndeavors to
help the enterprise along. How large a
representation will Gold Hill have
there? We think we know, the boys Of
the Yellow Jacket, Imperial, Crown
Point, Confidence, Empire, and all the
claims Of Gold Hill, to help those in dis
tress is n Of their most commendable
qualities, and that to, night they will be
there by the score we are sure.
RELIEF CoNMIrrEE.-Yesterday, Chief
Edwards and Charles Fish, Esq, of the
Relief Committee, went through the
northern part of Virginia city in search
of destitute families. They found some
twenty families in that part Of the city
who were without wood or anything to
eat. Bills for all necessary groceries
we're made out and sent to the stores,
to be delivered at once. The wood sled
was sent with wood, and many who
would otherwise have suffered, and per-
haps have persisted, have been relieved.
The good work still goes on. The Com
mittee to-day will 20 through the re-
mainder of the city, and if there is any
one who is in destitute circumstances,
and who is not found, he or, she is re-
quested to report to the Committee and
all wants will be attended to at once.
FIRE PLUGs.-The Town Trustees of
Gold Hill, at their weekly meeting last
night, adopted steps for a Town law pro-
tecting fire-plugs, and making it a penal
offence to break or damage any Of them.
This is right. Several have been broken
by the internal Of teamsters
driving their large wagons against them.
The taxpayers have paid too much for
the water-works to allow anybody to
damage them. The Marshal will see
the law enforced.
Ten MILES MoRE.-We last evening
received a dispatch from the Carey
Howell party-the boys who left for
California on snow-shoes-dsted Straw
berry, March 4th, 2:35 P. NJ, to the fol-
lowing effect: ,"No road on either side
of the summit. Ten miles more to go
on shoes. Can navigate admirably. All
we'll"
A RuyAwAY.-Two horses attached to
the express wagon of Charley Hecker,
ran away yesterday afternoon in lower
Gold Hill and only stopped when brought
up by coming in collision with a quartz
wagon. The tongue Of the express
wagon was broken, and the lager beer,
with which the wagon was loaded, was
scattered promiscuously along the road.
THE CoRPoRArIoS.-A telegram, yes
terday, stated that, in the Assembly,
the bill introduced by Mr.. Huse, amend
ing the corporation law Of Gold Hill,
was indefinitely postponed. The tele-
gram concluded thus: Ono law on
this subject is likely to pass this ses-
sion."
Nxw PoLIcHMAS.-Policeman Sherman
having resigned his place, the Town
Trustees last night elected H. h. Hamlin
to fill the vacancy. Mr.. Sherman was a
good and efficient officer, and we regret
his loss. His successor, however, we
predict, will also make a good one
TRucKs.-The wheels Of wagons used
in the wet snow, look more like truck
wheels than anything else; nearly all Of
them fill with now and ice from the
point ofthe hub to the tire OF the wheel,
making a wagon more than double Its
usual weight.
RuSSIye.-Quite a stream Of water
has commenced running down Main
street, Gold Hill. A few days Of warm
weather will make a food OF it.
