and final disposal of Mrs. Maria A. Bell,
we stated that she was buried on Sun.
day afternoon at the expense OF the
county. We had this on the authority
of J.. w. Wilson, the undertaken, and
made our item accordingly. It seems,
however, that some time after the two
kind. hearted ladies, of whom We made
mention Yesterday, had washed, dressed
and duly prepared the poor body for the
county coffin, Mrs. Wylie and Bertha
Thulon 1.-THE woman friend of deceased,
mentioned in the iuquest,) went to the
undertaken and made different arrange
ments. Yesterday, by means OF a sub
scription, they collected from acquaint
ances Of deceased and othersabout SIS,
thus securing for her u respectable
burial in the private cemetery of Wilson
& Brown, north Of Virginia. All these
ladies who so kindly performed the last
sad Offices for the poor outcast are well
deserving Of q bright credit mark in
Gods great human account book.
The GROUND HoG.-Tradition records
that the ground hog. awakens from his
long winters sleep on the I'd day of
February 20 take a general survey of the
weather. II the day is bright and clear,
the shadow of his tail warns him that
spring is still far away, and he goes
back to his hole, confident that six long
weeks Of winter are still in prospect ;
should the day be cloudy however, he
abandons his winter home, self-assured
that the cold storms of winter are num-
bered with the things of the past. Yes
terday was cloudy throughout, and we
NAV, If the old tradition can be relied
upon, rest assured that pleasant days
are near at hand.-St. 10 (Mo.) Herald,
february Sd.
The above rather lays over our " pig
barometer by a few. The time was
when we could ~foretell in Gold Hill the
exact kind of weather on the following
day, by the direction of the pigs shoots
when they went asleep-but those glori-
Gus old. times are now past-aud the
ground hog Of Missouri has the sway.
The BALL.-The fifth annual ball Of
Liberty Engine Company No. l, Gold
Hill, which transpired last night, came
fully up to the an~ticipations Of even the
most sanguine. The hall was very
beautifully and tastefully trimmed and
-x...ol ,..,l Han,e nfafOrn. frnnNnn's
emblems, ETC., and the tloor neatly COW
cred with clean white canvas. Better
music than that furnished on this occa-
sion is seldom heard, and the supper
served up at the Gold Hill Bakery and
the San Francisco Restaurant was eX-
cellent in both quality and quantity.
The hall was we'll 6lled, everybody en-
joyed themselves immensely, and the
dancing was kept up into he gray
hours of the morning. The ball was
we'll conducted, and we congratulate
the gallant boys Of Liberty Engine Com
pany on their complete success.
RoueH on WAGON TIMnER.-The pres
ent rough state Of the roads is extreme
ly trying to the material Of which wag-
ons and all other kinds Of vehicle are
made. Quartz wagon breakdowns are
common and we hear Of u buggy or so
coming to grief occasionally. One OF
Ham. Lights turnouts in that line was
at lower Gold Hill a day or two since,
and the occupants got out to take a
drink. Their confidence in leaving
their horses unhitched seems 10 have
been misplaced, for the animals started
off on their own hook, p%lunging across
tho deep ruts and rough places, ut 4
lively rate, succeeding in n few minutes
in reducing the vehicle to a multitude
Of small pieces. 1t had to be scraped
up and carried home to Virginia in an
express wagon.
MoRs SxALL-Pox.-The Enterprise re-
ports two new cases Of smallpox and
one death from the disease at Virginia,
Yesterday. We noticed n yellow flag
Yesterday displayed from a cabin on
South C street, nearly opposite the old
Po,osi hosting works. o. Spanyer
broke out with the smallpox at the
Gold Hill Brewery W or three days
ago, and was removed to the County
nest.house by officer Hamlin in II hack.
This was the very patient for whom
Wilson, the Virginia undertaken, ms
takenly sent n hearse, when Hamlln tel
egraphsd for a hack. Luckily the sick
man did not happen to know OF the mis-
take, otherwise it might have proven
rather of a rough old '.joke on Snyder. y
VxLocIPEpE AT CARSON. Professor
Orndorff, the famous velocipedist and
k~i.sologist, took his champion ve!oci-
pede down to Carson yesterday. The
Professor is q handsome young man,
with mighty winning ways about him,
and we predict numerous lady pupils
and conquests. That is to say, he VIII
ride through their affections on a veioci-
peds. We shall watch the Carson Ap-
peal with interest for a full account OF
his.success aud velocipede influence with
the members Of the grand Fergusonian
Congress now assembled in that rec
tangular city.

100 head Of hogs arrived at Gold Hill
