CONGRESSIONAL DIRECToRY.-We are I'M
der obligations to Congressman Fitch for
copy of Ben. Perley Poore's Directory for the
second session of the Forty-frst Congress.
1t is a useful document for reference and
surpasses in completeness anything of the
kind ever before compiled by Mr.. Poore.
BURGLARIEs IN WAsBoE CouNTY.-We
learn from Jim Gatewood that Tolls
dry goods store, at Franktown, was rob.
bed on last Saturday night of wagon
load of goods; and that on the night
following the Bowers mansion was bur.
glarized of thousand dollars worth of
silver ware.
A VERY handsome picture of the
Carson Branch Mint has been taken by |
Frank Ludlow, Photographic artist. 1t
shows that building 10 an excellent |
light and presents far better picture of
the surrounding scenery than he has
ever before been able to obtain. 1t
does the artist much credit.
THE GREAT TINE RACE by Taylor, the
great horse-rder from California, is to
take place over the Carson Course on
Sunday next. 1t will be begun at -
o'clock. He is matched to ride 80 miles
in 2 hours. He will ride Is horses in
this race. Twenty FIVE miles an hour
is pretty good railroad speed.
ANOTHER DELEGArE.-Deputy Sheriff
Craighead, of Elko county, brought in
a prisoner yesterday by the name of
Thomas Hefferen who stands convicted
OF the crime of robbery, and has been
sentenced TO the Penitentiary for the
term of his natural life. This seems an
extraordinarily harsh sentence, but on
reference to the statute of 1861 we find
the Judge had the power to inflict it.
We are not sure, upon reflection, if
life time in the Penitentiary is not the
best disposition that can be made of a
highwsyman's time.
ASTArE Prison LIBRARY.-Lieut.Go Gov.
Slingerland received yesterday the fol-
lowing note which explains itself:
VIRGINIA. Nevada, March Sth, 1870.
Lieut.. Gov. Slingerland-My Dear Sir J
An article in the Gold Hill News called nv
attention to the fact that the State Prison has
NO library for the use of its inmates. l send
you by express to-day a box containing fifty
Volumes of bound books, and quantity of
Magazines, Reviews etc. which you will please
accept beginning of library for the Pris-
on, from St. Pauls Church Virginia City.
Very truly yours,
0. W. WHITAKER.
Certainly Mr.. Whitaker and the church
society over which he presides are enti- :,
tied to great praise for thus taking the
initiative in the erection of library for
The use of the unfortunales who are
confined in the Penitentiary and the
example thus set, most worthy of imi- q
Iation as it is, should prove an incentive
10 other citizens to make contributions
Of books and other interesting reading n
matter in furtherance of the movement.
