THE DANGER OF SAVING LADYs LIFE
Our readers will recollect the attempted as
sassinaton of Samuel Temple Of 1ardlesiiie;
Bucks county, he having been shot at seSe e.,
different times while working in mill. The
cause has just transpired. A few mornings
since, Mr.. Biting, of Newton, found letter
under his door addressed to Temple. 1t wa:
dated New York, March Goth, and signed
Viola " in a neat hand. The writer stated
that some two years ago she was riding near
Paramount Park, in this city, when she was
thrown from her saddle and Temple came
to her rescue She fell in love with him At
once, and afterward wrote him two letters,
telling him so. AS he paid no attention TO
them. she resolved that no other woman
should we'd him. and employed four Spanish
assassins at 81 600 apiece to kill him. She
afterwards concluded to make no more at
tempts at his life, but had no opportunity to
get word to her hired accomplices before the
last attempt was made. She says she Is
wealthy, and highly educated ); that che Is
going to Europe, and that he is in no more
danger. as she has now lost her love for him
and would not marry him. Temple says ne

lady that he asked her if she was hurt sne

A QUEtR WITNfss.-The San Francisco

Bulletin Of the 9Th. relates the following:
Yesterday afternoon man named Jansen
was called in the County Court, TO be sworn
as witness for the people III a criminal
case. When the Clerk directed him to hold
up hi. right hand, he refused-sald he would
not swear He was then asked if he would
atfrI,au;,,.he said No." The Judge then
questioned him; asked him why he refused
to .wear or affirm, and the. man answered
that lie had conscientious scTup-2s about
~ eh matters. which prevented him. lie vas
asked whether he was Christian, and ns said
he was; adding that his Lord and Master
had commanded him to swear not at all.
hut simnJy to awnswer Yea " and" Nay
Judge Mchinstry tiinaly told him he must
either swear or affirm, or he would send
him to tail for content of Court. On this
the man forgot his scrnples, and swnre tina.
he would lie in prison durinst the term OF his
natural life before he would either swear or
AFFIRM The Court did not send hIn to jan
but told him he could have till ten i. NJ, to-
day, to consider the propriety OF ooeying the
authority Of the Court.
At the time fixed he. appeared in Court,
having under his arm Bible and some
other book He still remained obstinate,
and opening the Bible commenced reading
nor,ions Of it and commenting oh them az
| he read. The Court listened patiently some
time, but finally remarked that his reading
and comments were very interesting, but 1t
could devote no more time to it. The man
wa. accor ,angly ordered into the custody OF
the Sheriff to be examined by the Commits
sioners Of Luaacy, on the question OF his
sanity
This afternoon he was examined before
the Commissioners. when he gave ready an
swers to all their.guestions. He said the
Bibls clearly prohibits all oaths, and he Is
therefore willing oaly to promise that he
will speak the truth.
In the Police Court when the case was
examined he declined to be sworn, and gave
his testimony under the usual form Of aftlr-
nation. He says he has-been. studying the
Bible much Of late for Learning ms duty as
Christian. TWAS clear that he considered
himself entitled to give his testimony accord
ing to the dictates Of his own conscience. but
what disposition world.b be made OF the case

LETTER FROM CARLIN.
CARLIN, May s, 1869.


EDITOR CARSON APPEAL: Having loca-
ted myself at this place, thought would drop
you line in reference to its present and
future prospects. Carlin is situated at the
mouth of Maggie Creek, on the Humboldt
river, about 500 miles east of Reno on the
line of the great Central Pacific Railroad,
and containing population of about FIVE or
six hundred inhabitants. 1t is at the end of
a division on the U. P. +. r.. therefore the
company are building large round house,
and machine, blacksmith and carpenter
shops, for the purpose Of doing all the
repairing of the rolling stock on two dlvls-
ions (Shoshone and Humboldt divisions,)
thereby giving employment to.a great many
mechanics of all trades. We have large
amount of agricultural lands on the river,!as
well as the valley of Maggie Greek !, it being
located and fled upon daily. John Q. Moore
of Carson, located coal mine, which proves
to be very good, saw some OF 1t tired to-day

pronsances it a sure thing. Johnny is run
ming tunnel into the mine and the farther
he goes in the better he finds the coal, so l
think his prospects are very good for for
tune. Capt. John A. Palmer is our Justice
of the Peace, and is, with the help of his
Constable Capt. VIII n. Rabbits, making it
yerv hot for evil doors. We have had few
broken heads here but as-yet no shooting,
cutting, or killing. The citizens are now
making preparations for the grand celebra-
ton Of laying the last .ie and driving the last
spike Of the c. P. and L. ?. Railroads.
| Committees have been appointed and money
raised for the occasion. We are to have guns

DRUNKEN INDIASs.-The Reno Crescent
thu. aIudes to a matter that is too often
brought to the attention Of the citZeas Of
Carson:
Some sneaking, cowardly, pusilanimous
abortion of a white man, with only the small
est portion of human soul IN his hlthy car
casS, has of late made practice Of selling
whisky TO the Indians who camp IN and about
Reno. Some Gastardly, skulking, sneak.
who probably dreams OF a contingent inter-
est in some antiQuated and toothless squaw,
porti0as cut, by stealth, his poison to these
poor wretches ito cause them to reel, imbeclle
and imDrudeni. around the houses of fright
ened women, to shock BY their indecent
words the cars of delicate females and lnno-
| cent children. IS, s.Haby one OF these fron-
zied savages will perpetrate some outrage
which will awaken the indignation Of the
whole community, and the helpless child Of
| the 6eserr will have to bear the consequences.
We saw Constable Edwards take d loaded
gun from an Indian who was IN state Of
wild intoxicaton, initiating his white brother
and swearing he wanted to Kill some one
On the same day gentleman down towr

Railroads are powerful aids in the
development of a country and in the
concentration of capital. They hold
a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES over favor
able localities, milder climate, supe-
rior soil, ~directness Of route and slower
thorOughfare. Without the aid of
Railroads, Richardson, Nemah, Paw
nee, johnson and Gage counties stood
first and foremost above all other To-
calities in the State. Brownville,
when all towns were depending upon
their natural resources, gave promise
Of becoming the metropolis Of the
State. Omaha, aided by the resources
Of the u. P. r, r., soon lead her by
many thousands, Nebraska City staff
ding tremblingly second, as her pros
pective railroads were considered more
or Isss certain, and for a long time
Brownville held the position of the
third town in size and commercial
importance. Now, the B, & M. being
completed to the river, comes to the
aid of Plattsmouth and we reluc-
family yield our place to that growing
city. Fremont, Lincoln and Ruio are
already in a fair way Of sending us
down in the scale to the seventh place.
The building Of railroads 10 and
through these points have and are
doing it, and still we slumber on with
out them. Every trial we make we
yield to opposition, which makes our
future efforts more hopeless. We are
encouraged to make our final point
tonight at the meeting Of the City
Council. If repulsed, it win not be
for the want of an effort, and as we
humbly think in the right direction.
Can we but secure the undoubted
completion of the O., NJ. & P. Rail
road at an early day to Brownville, we
have no fears for her future. If this
hope dies out, then farewell to her
prospects now and hereafter.

NUMBER TWO.

"H
Children are forming habits while
young which govern thens when
older. how necessary then that they
learn to apply themselN es in their
younger days. The boy and girl who
are taught to work-tO do some light
chores in the morning and evening
while attending schools more easily
induced to study during school hours.
They have learned the fist practical
lesson Of life. They are then forming
the habits of usefulness. They are,
by these simple acts each morning,
accustoming t~hemseIvest to the harness
which they are to wear when they
enter upon The active business which
they propose to follow for a livelihood.
In the school room they apply them
selves to their study by the mere force
Of the habit formed at home. Work
has become q matter of fact. They
learn their lesson; become familiar
with the principles and facts on each
and every page of their book. AS they
advance this thorough knowledge Of
all behind renders their next lesson
easy, and they only wonder that they
had not thought of these principles be-
fore. Their Progress is rapid, and the
process of development, and the ac-
QUESTION of knowledge, and the ex-
pansion Of the soul and minds q, 9 real,
and are noted and spoken Of by their
teacher, their friends and the COM
munity. They look upon their teach
tr as a person but little in advance of
them, and no ways remarkable con-
sidering his age and experience for
his learning; and confidentially an
ticipates that ia a few years, at most,
they will be equally as able to impart
instruction as he. The habits formed
at home, in the school room and in
society have served to make them
confident and telfreliant; and they
en- er mon the active duties of life
with these fixed principles which
have marked the course Of our most
successful men. His mental powers
are keen, active and discriminating,
and they soon work their way up to
positions of honor, profit and useful
ness. How necessary then that every
boy and girl learn to utilize their
time at an early age. Do some work
every day, and do it thoroughly and
well. If you do but little-study but
little-form the habit early of doing
that little so perfectly that it viii
never have to be done again. AT some
other time we my speak Of the great
responsibility that parents and teach-l
ers are under to see that those under
care form these habits Alright.
we shall write it to catch the eye
the older ones, we shall do so for the
children's good and for them to re9R
aud ponder over.

We notice the '~'regretsD Of the
Democrat because the petition now
being circulated to take stock in the
O., N. & P. Railroad, fails to meet his
views; and zoe regret that he has de-
cided to order the Council to lay it On
the table. The petition is in exact
accordance with the resolutions pass
ed so unanimously at public meeting
held in Brownville, whereofth editor
of the PemOcrGi was its Secretary.
Why did he not then lift his warning
voice and promuigate his threats when
the matterc could have been considered?
If the conditions of the petition are
Objectionable, the Council need not
follow them. The petition is only an
expression of the people the Council
can submit an entire different propo-
sition ifthe people don't likeit, theN
can vote it down /; ifthey do, they will
vote for Il. It is the conditions in the
proposition submitted to the voters,
and not those submitted in the petit
ton to the Council which control the
issuing of the bonds. So if the Coun-
Gil do not like the conditions Of the
petition, they may fix up and submit
such rs they do approve. We know
ofnO better way to get at the will of
the people, than to conclude what
they say In q de~liberative body,
they mean. And in accordance with
this understanding, the petition was
drawn.
