BULL Rus MISISG DBrRIcr.-0n the 7th
,lay of january last George Tucker and
aJohn Nash left Elko for Bull Run district,
Nash went ont for the purpose of selecting a
mill site for the erection of mill at as early a
day as the machinery could be got there. The
late terrible snow and sleet storm that swept
over that section of country, led their friends
in town to fear for their safety, and they were
in readiness to start out in search of them,
when ON Saturday the snow-bound party put

mort considerable snow in the district, but
being well housed with plenty Of grub they

As this district is one of the most promising
in the State, and will soon attract large i'm
migration of prospectors and miners, ii is not
ont Of place To describe its locality again and
present n few facts about the mines already
partially developed and now being worked.
From this place you follow the Cope road to n
point six miles beyond Coryell's station, a dis
lance of thirty-two miles, and then bear to
the left, passing up through independence val
. lev about thirty-eiGht miles, making il total
distance from Elko To the mines of seventy
miles in a northwesterly direction. The roads
well watered and grass abundant, particularly
through the rich and fertile Independence val
lev. Gov. Chillis and party are in camp,
working the Fountain Treasure mine, and
have the most promising assurance ofrcalizing
q handsome compensation for their pluck and
enterprise in the near future. Their mine was
discovered last Summer, and is represented by
all who have seen il as being one of the best
in the State. 4 party of six men design leav-
ing here to-day FOR this district, 10 commence
work OH the Porter, Central Pacific, Franklin
and Western mines. These properties are
mostly owned and controlled by Tucker & Co.,

ipgton, Vermont:
MIR. Thomas Waterman and wife, of John
son, celebrated the sixty-fourth anniversary
OF their marriage on the 9th instant. On the
same day, the Judge completed his eighty
ninth year. : 49,.
The persons referred to are the parents of
Judge Thomas Waterman, County Clerk of
Eiko county. A sixty-fourth marriage ami
versary is a rare occurrence, and if their son
ever celebrates his, he has not much more
time to waste on the desolate shores of old

b. Cheerfulness is one of the greatest
blessings that can be bestowed on the
human family. Without It's genial life
there would be little TO make us better
than the objects Of an aimless existence,
And how very susceptible we are 10 the
Influence of our surroundings; so much
so thatinvoluntarilywe ourselves brighten
or sadden in the presence Of those who
possess the happy faculty ofcasting sun
shine ON the path of life, or turning its
brightness into shadows. How beautiful
| II is to the man Of toll to look forward to
the reunion with his family, at the close
of the day, when wearied and worn with
anxious thought perhaps; to feel there IS
a cheerful reception awaiting him at the
sacred altar Of the domestic hearth that
will soothe his trouble into a blissful
oblivion of all the perplexities outside
that charmed circle of love and happi-
ness which bid defiance to the frowns OF
gloom. How beautiful is the fresh smile
of sanguine youth when the glad heart
casts cheerful rays of happy sunshine on
the ever-Howery pathway of hopeful
thought in the future; and how sweet IS
the influence that exerts the sluggish
soul of man to look beyond the shifting
scenes of earth, and causes him to place
his feelings beyond its pershable lights
and shadows. What is more calculated
to induce pleasant thoughts of the boun-
tiful Giver than cheerful appreciation
of His gifts2 Surely nothing can supply
this feeling of comfort that comes with
the perfect beauty Of cheerful faith-not
only in God, but in our fellow-man.
When we hear the glad, happy laugh that
ripples up from pure heart and spreads
its genial beauty over the countenance OF
its possessor. we Involuntary exclaim
What a sweet face! Although it may lack
nearly every requisite of symmetrical
beauty, still, the glow from the beauty
that is within softens its rougher out
lines and makes it radiant with rare
loneliness that no beauty without this
possession could possibly attain to.
What feeling of comfort does the cheer
full word impart to the dropping spirits
of a, perhaps, less fortunate voyager on
life tempestuous sea, tossed at the mer-
cy Of unfavoring gales, and dashed by
the waves and pillows of adversely and
discomfort. Oh, happy possession, in
deed, to you who are so fortunate as to
have it. whether it comes to you natu-
rally or by cutivation--for it is one of
the attributes Of Christian and a phil
osopher Ye who 60 through life with
smiles and cheerful words ever flowing |
from the perpetual fountain of happiness
within. will cast many flowers in the way |
of earth's weeping children, and pluck
the thorn from many blushing rose;
unconsciously you will bind hopes that
seemed severed and raise them up 10
the lofty aspirations of happier thoughts !
and rouse the weakened and disappointed
aims of life 70 noble purposes and
more determined action So you will |
20 on through the breakers that assail
YOU. reaping your reward in the feeling
of happy content you enjoy yourself |
and diffuse the brightness that will reflect
from your own sunny atmosphere OF
love aud cheerfulness
