mems, the like Of which don't grow in
the sage-brush wilds of Gold Hill or
Virginia. A note from +. ID. Sweeney
of Carson, accompanying the muniiieent
donation, fully explains the idea. i,
reads as follows: ".Belieying, as | do,
that some Of your people in Storey
County think that we can't raise any
thing in Carson, | send you a specimen
or so of u smallest vegetable, namely,
the radish, for unbelievers to cogitate
over" The largest of these roots is q
couple of feet long, about tho size and
shape Of a horses leg, and for color,
excrescences etc., resembles some
body's nose that we knows of. The
other is not quite s. long, but more
reddish; in fact, is a whole litter OF
small pup r~adishes, each about rs big
round rs your thumb and o foot long,
all attached to one parent root-regular
family branches. Sweeney does not say
that these two old radishes were found
IN the same bed, although the inference
is that they were. Captain Taylor, who
assayed q small piece Of the old he
radish, says his strength is in proPor-
ton to his size. We gracefully give in
-we subsidc-and hereby acknowledge
Carson to be the champion radish town
Of the State.
Domestic Reunion At SILvER.-Mr.
Kroner, who for the last six or seven
years has been working indus,riously at
mining, blanket sluicing, and similar
occupations about Silver City, left n
wife in Ohio when no came to this
country. She did not hear from him
probably as oiten as she wished, and
year after year passed away longing for
his return, until at last I" hope deferred
made her heart SICK" and feeling that
she was deserted she at length sought
in divorce q legal release from what
marital ties might still linger. Mean
while, however, Kroner went home to
Ohio some seven months ngo, and once
more husband and wife met after their
long separation. He got there in good
time, all was explained and forgiven,
and the divorce suit withdrawn. Once
moro united and happy, she came with
him to Silver City, arriving i've or
three days ago, happy and content TO
share their new homo together. Tuesday
night some of the jolly boys about
town gave them q serenade, aud uow
the lately separated may be considered
amicably domiciliated and reunited, no
more to part. IT'S well.

Washoe Exchange Billiard Saloon, Viz
