be built on Peters land could bs supplied
with running water, even in the very at.
tics Of the upper ones.
Tho merchants first went TO the man
who owned the land above Peters, includ.
ing tho ledge and the spring, and he
agreed to sell for two hundred dollars.
This. to The builders. was great bargain,
for the stone of the ledge was excellent
granite. Then they called q surveyor and
made plot of the hillside, whereby they
found that they could have forty building
lots worth from two hundred and fifty to
four hundred dollars each. They hcsitat.
ed not moment after the plot was made
but paid Peter his ten thousand dollars
cheerfully.
Not many days after this transaction,
Peter White received very polite little
note from Cordelia Henderson. asking
him TO call and see her; but he did not
call He hunted up MIR. Soiners and
went into business with him, and this very
day Somers & White do business in that
town, and Walter Sturgis is their book
keeper. And in all the country there IL
not prettier spot than the old hillside.
The railroad depot is near its foot-and it
is occupied by sumptuous dwellings in
which live merchants who do business in
the adjacent city.
One thing Peter misscd-that he did
not reserve building spot for himself.
But his usual good fortune attended him,
even here. A wealthy banker had occa.
sion to move 10 another section oil the
country, and sold ont his house and gar
den to Peter. Tor just one half what the
building cost him. So Peter took wife
who loved him when he dug in The earth,
and found home for her and himself up
on the hillside.
And now, reader. where do you think
the hill. side is? Perhaps you know ; for il
is veritable history have been writing
and the place have told you about L.
now one Of the most select suburpan
residences.

A rule FOR LIVING HAFPiLY WITH
OTHERS. A rule Tor living happily with
others is to avoid having stock suhectsof
dispu,ation. IL mostly happens, when
people live much together, that they
come to have certain set topics,
around which, from frequent dispute.
there Is such y growth OF angry, mortified
vanity, and the ike, that the original
subject of difference becomes standing
subject lor quarrel, and there is
tendency in all minor disputes to drift
down To it. Again, If people wish to
live well together thoy must not hold too
much to logic. and suppose that every
ihing is to be settled by a sufficient
reason. DR.. Johnson 81" This clear!.

There is no time Tor such reasOplnss,
and nothing that is worth them. And
when we recollec, how two lawyers, or
two politicians, can go on contsnding'
anil there is TO end of one-sided reason
ins on any subject. We shall not be sure
that such contention is the best mode Tor
arriving at truth. But certainly it is not
the way to arrive at good temper.

and this comparison is more forcible in
its practical application when we consid-

THE EVENING NEWS.
Fcnrful BIa,,iur AccIdcnt.


About noon yesterday by the unex-
pected explosion of a blast on the rail-
road, near Rigby's Mill, American Flat,
Mr.. ]. II. Sporting came within IN ace
of being blown into eternity. He, with
the gang of men Of which he was fore
man, had put three blasts, Of about Il
keg and a half Of powder each, iuto the
bank of an open cut, where they were
working, and set FIRE to each simultane-
ously. Two of the charges exploded,
but the third failed to 90, and, after
waiting q reasonable length of time,
Mr.. Sperling ventured upon the bank to
see what was the matter. Just as he
was directly over the blast it exploded
With great force, blowing him, MS the
mon say, fully 20 feOt into the air. He
fell into the open cut, 10 feet below,
making his whole fall about 80 feet.
The dirt and rock fell upon and covered
him to such a depth that it was neces-
sary to dig him out. He was consider.
ably stunned, but found to be yet alive,
although evidently much injured in
deed, his escape from instant death un.
der the circumstances is truly miracu.
lous. DR.. Hitler, of Virginia, was
Immediately sent for and o o
came to his relief. The Doctor
informs us that Sporting was pretty
badly bruised and strained, besides
having one of his ribs broken on the
left side near the spine; and his face
severely cut and confused Mr.. Sper-
ling is much better to-day, and the
Doctor thinks he will be able to work
again in a few days. His wonderful
escape from being torn into fragment is
was doubtless attributable to his Ueing |
thrown up by the blast together with a
considerable body Of the hard earth or
rock on which he WAS standing, 80 that
his injuries were only received by tue
fall, and the masses of earth aud rock
coming upon him. Mr.. Sperling was
employed in the Crown Point mine at
the time Of the recent fearful disaster,
and narrowly escaped with his life,
while Thomas McCollum, who WAS by
his side in the mine, was not so fortu-
nate. Sperling concluded to take no
more such chances, so he went to work
on the railroad and got blown up.
Upon learning of the accident, Mr..
Sharon, of the California Bank, and IA
principal owner in the railroad, kindly
sent 500 for the immediate necessities
of Mr.. Sperling's wife and child, who
reside in Gold Hill.

PiPER's OPERA HoUss.-Shakspeare's
sublime FIVE act tragedy Of Hamlet"
was presented in good style at the OPP
era House last evening, the Danish
Prince being most worthily represented
BIZ James Stark. This most excellent
actor seemed perfectly at home once
more, an idea fully appreciated by his
well-plsased audience. He was well
supported by Harrison AS Laertes, Mrs.
Stewart as the Queen, Miss Louise Ar
not as Ophelia, and some OF the other
characters were commercially persona
ted. Tonight Macbeth " will be pre-
sented, with an excellent cast; Mr..
Stark ~personating the title character,
James Harrison Macduff, and Mrs. Stew
art Lady Macbeth, in which she has few
equals according to our idea. \ fine
bill will also be presented to morrow
evening /; and on Monday night John
Mccullough makes his first appearance
under engagement. Piper is undoubt-
eddy doing all that any good manager
can TO cater to the refined taste of our
numerous theatre goers, and is well de-
serving a most hearty and liberal sup
port. Go and see " Macbeth - to night.

Steam is being sent down to-day
through the Crown Point shaft to SUBJ
due the still s%mouldering fire in the
east ledge if possible. The Kentuck
shaft is perfectly free from smoke OF
gas, the draft being down it, but a re-
/ duced amount Of gaseous vapor still
issues from the Crown Point. A strong
gas and smoke comes up the
Yellow Jacket shaft, the fire
being at the line between that
mine and the Kentuck, between the
700 and 6O0-foot levels. How much
logger this obstinate fire will continue
s~mouldering amid the charred timbers
aud fallen debris it is impossible to say,
but strong hopes are now entertained
that it will be completely cxtinguished
within the next 4s hours. As soon as
practicable, the remaining bodies Of
the victims will be recovered. These
three mines being thus disabled had q
bad effect on business Of all kinds
in this community, rs there are about
500 men, including miners, engineers,
carpenters, blacksmiths, teamsters and
others who are thrown out of employ
mcnt. Their wages, when the regular
payday came around on the first of ev-
cry month, has always been an extreme
" important item in the way Of re-
sources, and mercantile encouragement.
Let us hope that the fiery blockade will
be raised, certainly by the first Of the
next month, so all may SO on prosper
ously as before.

The Kinderhook Rough Notes gets
off the following joke about Job at
is supposed by many thinking persons
who read the Scriptures in the same
careless manner they run through a
newspaper-taking everything they
read in literal sense-thst old Job
was actually afflicted with boils, OF
eruptive sores. Now, to the casual
reader this deduction is plain enough;
but when his occupation is taken into
consideration, very different con-
clusion will be arrived at. Job, il
will be recollected was a printer-or,
what is about the same thing. he
wished his words were printed in a
book ) and these boils were nothing
moro than his nOn-payiDg subscribers
the thought of whose delinque1cie:
we're really plague to him whenever
a bill for paper, or other material
came in, as these subscriptions were
depended upon to realize the amount
due. Yet, they merely proved the
evidence of things hoped for, but
the substance of things not SEEN
Then, these 'comforters' that sur
rounded him-they were his creditors
whose continual cawing for pay was
enough to make a man, even with hi:
reputed patience. to feel sore all over
as we'll as mean epOuoh 70 Green into
an ash heap, and scratch himself with
a pot-hook or m-shell, bv way Of
working off the extra bile That:
what the matter was with Job. We
can sympathize with him, for we are
often placed in the same fx, and
have got such 'spell' on now. Moth
ing but few 'greenbacks' will remove
it,
