THE Star and Garter Hotel, at Rich
mond Hill, near London, was burned
down early in the morning Of January
18th. This hotel was held in high
repute as a place Of resort for
pleasure parties during the summe
months, and recently an announce
ment was made that new build
ings of great splendor we're to be
erected on the grounds. The latest
English journals give an account OF
the burning down of the old "Star and
Carter" and complain bitterly that
the hotel was allowed to be consumed
in consequence of the scarcity Of water.
The buildings had been closed for the
winter, and the premises were occupied
by the manager and a few servants to
take care Of the furniture. The fire
broke out at halfpast l O'Clock in the
morning, and caused great consterna-
ton in the vicinity Of London, as the
mass Of flames shooting up into the
sky were seen for miles In every direc-
ton. The manager was unable to
escape from the building, and being
overcome by the smoke, persisted in
the flames, there being no tire-escape.
About $4,000 worth of wines were
destroyed. In addition to the want of
water arising from in~suficlency of
pressure the tank on the top Of the
hotel, capable of holding $4,000 gal
Ions, was entirely empty. This cir
cumstance should furnish a warning to
owners Of large buildings in this coun-
try not to let their tanks run dry and
their fire annihilators to become un-
servieeable. r..r

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES
The emigration directed to Canada last
year by the British Government, it is
asserted, has failed to furnish the Do
minion with a permanent population.
According to official returns, 53,2Sl
emigrants from Europe landed in Can
ada last year. OF this number, &c, 1899
removed to the United States, and 49,
3S2 remained in Canada. Of the lat
ter, G,172 had received free passes and
provisions, and were bound to stay.
Besides the $500 emigrants who did
not remain in Canada, but continued
their journey to the United States,
there were $4,000 native Canadians,
who passed south Of the lakes, and
changed their allegiance. In order to
increase her population, Canada, it is
contended, must offer inducements to
emigrants in the shape OFFS Homestead
law. During m year, in the United
States, 7,166, l52 acres Of the public
lands had been divided into GO, 900
farms, and more than one-half of these
farms had been assigned to actual set
tiers. During the same period, Canada
had settled only 1886 farms, embracing
IS, 900 acres.

TIuor.-Tahoe IA an India,

LAKE TAnoE.-Tahoe is an Indian
name, The meaning Of. 1t is "big=
water mot Big-ler-and the name
was given to the lake probably long
before the earliest pioneers Of civiliza-
tIon beheld its waters. Such was the
statement made by "Jim," Captain of
ali the Washoe tribe Of Indians II
Nav, 1868. On yesterday a bill passed
in the Assembly to establish, in cer-
tain localities, the name of the lake to
be Bigler. Tile question now arises
whether the name of the entire sheet
ofwater Is to be changed or only part
of 1t. The eastern boundary of this
State, on the one hundred and TWEEN
tieth meridian Of west longitude,
runs directly. through the lake
and almost In the center. The
State of Nevada owns one-half of it,
and are determined to call their por-
ton Tahoe. Whatever our Legislature
may conclude to do In this christening
business. We. think the latter name will
preyail.-Sdc Vaion Of yesterday.

ANOTHER BOLD BURGLARY. = On
Sunday night last another bold and
heavy burglary was committed, which
falls heavily on the losers-two sisters
named INTERCHANGEABLE occupied n
room In a building Oh Stockton street,
near Union. They had, through their
labors during several years past, saved
about $4,000, which was kept in IL OF
their trunks. On the evening named
they went out for n while, and when
they returned to their room they were
surprised to find everything In confl'
sion, the trunk in which the money was
kept cut open, and the coin gone. The
burglars managed to get into the house
through q skylfght, by which they also
escaped. Nothing has yet been heard
of the operators.-S. +. Alta.

An INTERESTING MARNAGE.-m the
marriage Of couple residing ut Sloan,
the discrepancyin the ages Of the prin-
cipals shows somewhat remarkable.
The bride Is only twelve years and two
months old, while the bridegroom is
scared by the frosts Of forty winters.
What makes the matter doubly inter-
esting Is the tolerably well authenti-
Gated rumor that the bride will, ere the
lawful time for such an event to take
place, contribute her quota to swell
the population Of Montana County.
The circumstance just alluded to fur
nishes overwhelming evidence of the
prolilcness Of Iowa and the rapidity
with which both animal and vegetable
matters arrive at maturity.-,Si0uI

CALIFORNIA has SOC, 900 peach trees,
or about five to every voter-enough
to produce more than n hundred
pounds annually for every person. A
Delaware journal mentions that In
1866, there were growing along the
line of the Delaware Railroad (most of
them in Delaware) l,653,205 peach
trees. By the spring of 1869 the num-
Der Counting none under n year old

Is probable that the present number

A QUESTION is raised and being dis
cussed IS to the eligibility Of the newly
elected colored Senator from Missis-
sippi. The point made is, that the
citizenship Of the black man COM
menced with the adoption Of the Four
teenth Amendment, and rs the Con-
stitution ~preseribes that a United
States Senator must have been nine
years a citizen Of the United States,
consequently until nine years after
the adoption Of the Fourteenth Amend
ment, no black man can be eligible to
this office. On the other hand it is held
that the Fourteenth Amendment was
merely d~eciaratory Of q p~re-existing
condition Of incomplete citizenship,
and a disability such as Is claimed cam
not exist. The subject will be fully
ventilated in the Senate when the ere.
dentials Of the new Senator are pre-
sented.

Paul, formerly of Gold Hill, who is
now in Empire City, Colorado, intro
ducing his Electric Process of re-
ducing ores. He now has M or two
mills running with his invention,
which, he says, are quite u success.
Mr.. Paul says he believes, after look
ing over California and Colorado, that
Nevada is still the country for him;
and that he is coming back to take
another start, and hopes to be COLI
tented when he does so. He also says
that Colorado is q good country-but
the weather there this winter has been
very d~isagreeable. We should think
that White Pine, Cope, Patterson,
Battle Mountain, or some Of the other
Districts in Eastern Nevada, would
be a goodopening for a man like Paul.

George II. Shepherd.

The Democratic candidate for County Treas
urer is making canvass of this county, and
making numerous friends among those not
previously acquainted with him. This num-
Der, however, is comparatively small, AS Mr..
George II. Shepherd is we'll known in this
portion of the State. Like most men who
have lived long on the coast and Travelled ex-
tensively over the country, he finds friends
everywhere. Mr.. Shepherd went to Califor-
MIA in 1853, and soon after established Shep-
herds Ferry on the San Joaquin river, where
he also bad a store for twelve years. In 1866
he took a stock Of goods to Montana residing
for time at Virginia City. In 1867 he set
tied at his present residence on the South
Fork of the Humboldt, and by diligent atten-
ton to business, he has made Shepherds Sta
ton one of the favorite resorts of the travel
ing public. 1t is safe to say that Mr.. Shep-
herd will receive every vote polled in his own
precinct. That is the best recommendation
any man can receive. In times like these. il
is all important to have n faithful, reliable
custodian Of the county moneys. A better
man for this purpose cannot be found in Elko
county.
