we'll as ~credibility, Is regarded with
great confidence. He says: Il have

worthless. The placer diggings will
not pay to exceed n dollar per day

Spouse to which they were Invited in
and partook of q fine spread Of good
things, eatables and drinkables. Then
they visited eX-Chief Gibson's resi-
dence, and also Bennetts', the newly
elected Assistant Engineer, being well
treated to good things at both places.

neer Of the V. & L. r. r. Co.'S loco
motives, discovered a horse caught, as
he supposed by the bride on a culvert
which crosses the road just east Of
town. He started his alarm whistle,
but the horse not moving Off he
stopped his engine, got of, and went
to drive the horse away when he dis
covered a man dead drunk, lying
across the track with his horses reins
in his hands. This was q mighty
.close CALI for this subject of John
Barleycorn, and there is a good OPEN
ing for his reformation. The saving Of
his life was the merest luck-nothing
else"
GoLD HILL FIREMEN's ELECTION
The firemen's election yesterday in
Gold Hill passed off quietly, without
any approach to unpleasantness or
rough skirmishing. 1t resulted In the
choice of the following officers for the
ensuing year: For Chief Engineer,
Alexander McMartin, of Yellow Jacket
Hose Company, No. 2; for Assistant
Engineer, ". ii. Benefits, of Liberty
Engine Company, No. /. These gen
tlemen might as we'll have been de-
clared elected by reclamation, for they
had no opposition, and were the unan-
imous choice Of the Department. No
one will dispute that it was q judicious
choice, for both are good firemen and
excellent citizens.
