Hopr roR TIE HoPELEss.-The truth
of DR.. Watts Declaration, that "While
tho lamp holds out to burn, the viles'
sinner may return" was never more riv'
idly illustrated than by an event which
lately occurred in the city Of Nevada,
California. Under the hymsnial head
the Nevada Gazette states that Mr.. John
Bazely ("old Blaze') was married to
Miss Esther Teresa Hollywood, on Sun
day, May als., at the residence Of Mr..
T. C. Lampe. Tho Gazette then goes on
to perpetrate the following senselsss
and irrelevant stanza:
When Christmas times shall come around
And the yule log shed Its rays
May the holly wood burn brighter too,
And yield a little blaze.
In this rs in all similar cases, it is our
ardent wish that the torch Of hymen
may emit no ftful or uncertain blaze.

sho Buries Her Victim Allvc.

Lucy Purnell, colorod, was hanged at
Snow Hill, Nd, on the 18th ult., for
the murder of Hanson Robbins, colored.
The execution took place in an open
field. She was in an intense state Of
excitement on the scaffold, saying that
she forgayo every one, and added:
Yes, have got the grace Of God in
my soul. don't fear to die. l nm
going to my God. I am going homo to
glory. am going to home not made
with hands. shall live forever.
have just found out how to live. Pm
going home. There is no mistake
about it."
In confession which she made pre-
vious to ascending the scaffold, she said
the deceased wanted to sleep with her.
That she refused, and that he then be-
came angry and tried to put her out Of
doors. Not succeeding in this, he sat
down by the FIRE. She arose from her
bed, seized q pestle, and struck him
twice over the head. She did not in
tend to kill him, but finding him
stunned, with the assistance Of her
daughter, she carried him out and dug
a hole In the ground, in which sho
placed him, though his groans showed
that he was alive. Having covered 1t
with dirt, she placed shavings on top to
conceal tho place of burial. After
placing the shavings on the newly made
grave, she heard the most unearthly
groans proceeding from the buried man.
Copscience stricken. she turned and fled
from the scene Of her horrible crime.
She seemed, however, to BIO drawn to
the spot by somc terrible fascination,
and some time afterwsrd discovered, in
one of her visits past the grave, that the
hogs had rooted up part of the skeleton,
which she carefully reintsrred. Again,
she discovered that dog had snatched
up the skull and carried it into the ad-
joining field. This she took with her,
and making circuit around tho field,
buried it in the woods under a cedar

SAD AFYRLI.-Just as we 60 to press
information comes from Hot Springs OF
a fatal affray that occurred thero on the
morning of the 2sth, between ]. J. Cod
dington and W. R. Rison, growing out
of an alteration about letter or note
written to Rison by his wife, and deliv-
cred by an Indian through mistake to
Coddington. In the affray Coddingtou
received blow on the neck or head from
club, and was carried home and put to

not consider his condition dangerous.
Next morning no was found dead in his
bed. We give the facts as we received

tion Company Of Silver Bend shipped
to-day through Paxton L Co., to the
treasurer in New York city, twenty-four
bars of bullion, averaging about 7ao
fino and valued at S24, 900. We believe
this is tho first shipment made to the

of tho mill had been absorbed BY the
liabilities incurred in erecting the mill.
This initial shipment will prepare the
tockholders for the rising food in their
fortunes, which will heueeforward bear

to run. What would be left Of Democ-
