The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1870-07-29

GRAPE VISE.-A dispatch has been
received by way of the grape vine tele-
graph, announcing the destruction of
5000 French troops-on the Rhine.
These badly handled soldiers were in
weighed by the Prnssians into an invit-
ing camping ground, just below a mill
damon the Rhine. The river had
partially dried up at that point, and
whilst the French army was enjoying
the quiet repose of n secure sleep, the
dam was opened and the camp was in
undated-on the Rhine. 1t may well be
imagined that the sweeping torrent
threw the sleeping soldiers into wild con-
fusion, and those who attempted to make
their escape up the PERCEPTIONS banks
were mercilessly driven back into the
foaming current-on the Rhine. Thus
5000 of the flower of the French army
were 'drowneded in one fell swoop-on
the Rhine.
AROUND AGAIs.-'Peeping Tom,' the
man who has been prowling around our
houses at night, and drawing the cur
tains of sleeping rooms aside, SO as to
glut his insane appetite with a stolen
view of females undressing for bed, paid
n visit TO Treasure City on Wednesday
night, and threw CONSERVATION into one
or two households by suddenly showing
his head into the bedroom windows.
IL seems very strange that this fellow is
allowed to remain at large. His disgust
ing p~enchant leads him into almost
nightly positions where he should be de-
tected and put out of the way. If he
continues to follow up his course, he
will certainly be suddenly brought up
with a round bullet, and it is perhaps
for this end that he has so far had a
merciful providence.
An UNwELcoME YIsIroR.-Yesterday
morning, as an omnibus was making its
first trip from Treasure here, an incident
occurred that took away the pleasure of
the ride from the inside passengers. As
the stage was passing out of Union
street, upon the road leading to Hamil-
ton, a blast was let off in a mine, and a
large fragment of rich quartz tore
through the woodwork at the end of
the bus, and buried itself in one of the
hihitutOllN. EoItildltll upDDuA Ndh
hurt but the proprietor of the omnibus,
who will have to foot the repairing bill.
The vehicle looked as if it had come
from Coblentz, and had crossed the track
of a French shell.
FELL IN THE WRoNG PLAoE.-A dis
patch tells us that during a recent storm
in Union county. Oregon, q shower of
frogs fell. The clerk Of the weather has
made a serious mistake. This batch of
frogs fell in the wrong place. The Web
feet don't eat frogs and are not thankful
for them. They should have fallen-on
the Rhine.
ELECTRIC SPARKs.-The altenebulous
atmosphere was filed last night with
electricity, which illumined the gauze of
clouds hat shut ont the stars, and
flashed at short and regular intervals
through the heavens. The phenomenon
was witnessed with interest by many
who are curious III meteorological per-
turbatiOns.
THE HUTCHINSON TRIAL.-The yenire
issued ON "Wednesday, for co more jurors,
will be returned to-day, when the trial
jury for the indictment against Hntchin-
son will be impaneled, and the case
proceed.
IMPORTANT MEETING II will be seen
by advertisement that the Separating
Works meeting will be held at the City
Hall tomorrow night. 1t will be very
important and n LARGE attendance shonld
