WHITE PINE ITEMS.
From the News OF April 1sth.l

for the sufferers, the lost and those de-
pendent on them. A large number Of
women aud children are lett destitute,
and turned for the time being upon the
charities OF the world. II is not in the
nature Of the hardy and adventurous
miner to allow them to think that the
charities are cold, for the bravery and
the manhood which leads to the danger
Gus and toilsome' life Of u miner, is
proof of q noble nature, and he readily
springs forward to alleviate the suffer-
iugs Of others. This nobility OF char
acter pervades every portion OF the Pat
| cifc Coast, and the many generous acts
| Of the people are matters OF pride to all.
| Always have the people responded with
| alacrity and with m~uniicent liberality
to any cry of distress or a showing OF
| need. The spirit which sent its hun.
| dreds of thousands to aid the Sanitary
| Commission in the dark period of u
late war, now prompts to the aid OF on
| fellow creatures in our W State. 1t
is a calamity far exceeding anything
of the kind that has ever oc-
Cured in the United States, and is
q subject of painful comment by all.
| We are proud 10 say that the citizens OF
| White Pine were among the first to
make preparations to add their share to
the aid OF the unfortunatos. On Sat-
urday last some gentlemen met aud
organized n meeting, when q committee
was appointed to solicit subscriptions
and forward money to the scene of the
disaster. The following named gentle.
men were placed on the committee
Hon. D. Il. Ashley, Hon. Frank Tilford,
Hon. W. II. Dolman, Judge EPitzer,
Colonel W Z. Johnston, Hon. Thomas
Sunderland, Capt. Frank Drake, Major
NJ. W. Kale, Capt. Layue, Fergus
o'Leary, W. ]. Forbes, Major E. A.
Sherman, Hon. Frank Wheeler, Hon.T
r. Cranley, II. s.. King, A. g. Wight
man and George B. C~randail. These
gentlemen, distinguished for their
energy and public spirit, have taken
steps TO secure n generous contribution,
and in n very short timo several thou
sand dollars will be raised and for
warded. It will not be necessary for
us to make any appeal to the generosity
Of our citizens, as the duty to do and
need Of charity is too apparent.
RxMxMpER rHS SABBATH.-In passing
along Main street, yesterday, VIC peeped
in at u window aud saw u sight which
reminded us Of early life and the White
Pine settlements. A number Of people
had met for divine service. Against
one side Of the thin board house was a
iedgling a%uctioneer, crying out in a
voice that ~resembled n young thunder
storm, 10 Four pair Of cotton socks for
one dollar; Congress knives for six
bits | Four plugs C%avendish tobacco for
one dollar" etc. Out in the street, in
front of the church door, was a shrill.
toned cataract which uttered sounds
like these: "Hcre's your finc CASH
mere shirts for three dollars; who'll
give mo two and n half-two dollars
dollar and q halF-one dollar-seven
bits {; I'll have no more, and I'll take
no less ; big enough for u small man,
and small enough for a big man-war-
rauted to fit or no sale u Sandwiched
in between these noises was II band OF
music, including u very healthy drum,
calling together the admirers Of the
I" manly art, to witness a sparring ex-
hibition on the opposite side Of the
street. 1t occurred to us that these
sights aud sounds were not in entire
harmony that somebody was violating
the Sabbath to u very annoying extent
and we don't thiuk il was the people
in the church.
