Cmcxrs THrrr CuARLEY.-This

CHICKEN THEE CnARLEY.-This
noted individual, 1t will be r~ecollected,
was about the middle Of April arrested
In lower Gold Hill for attempted bur-
glary, and confined In tile County Jail
for five months. About a week ago
the County Commissioners, by reason
of Charley's good behavior and better
promises, or through some mistaken
Idea Of philanthropy, concluded to let
him out on condition that he would
Immediately leave this part Of the
country and never infest 1t again.
This OF course the promising Charley
readily agreed to do, and he was forth
with turned loose. Since then about
a dozen petty burglaries have been
committed at Is many dwellings,
cabins and other domestic institutions
about Gold Hill and Virginia, such as
stealing blankets, watches, chickens,
old clothes, provisions and similar de-
sirables. OF course we do not wish to
i%nsinuate that Charley Is doing all
this, but he IS said to be circulating
about both places nights. even ranging
as far as Silver City, and has got to 10
something for n livelihood. During
Sheriff Cummings two years term OF
office, Charley was In the County Jail
over half the time for various petty
larcenies committed by him. Tie
poor fellow, however, cannot help II.
He must steal. Things lying about
loose have a natural affinity for his
hands, and Charley could no more get
past a chicken coop In the night time
when he heard the cluck Of a fowl than
q jackass could pass a sack of barley
within his reach. We merely pub
lish this item by way Of warning for
everybody to look out for their hem
coops and clothes lines.
GOLD HILL BREwERy.-As will be
seen by notice In another column the
partnership heretofore existing be-
tween s. Schweiss and Jacob Mayer In
the aforesaid we'll known brewery, on
Main street, Gold Hill, opposite tho
Vesey House, Is dissolved BY mutual
consent. Mr.. Schwelss will continue
the business ut the old stand, pay all
Indebtedness and collect all bills Of the
late firm. When you want some really
good, cool, fresh lager, or other choice
beverages, call ut the Gold Hill Brew
cry.
GONE EAsr.-Senator Nye left Sat
urday evening for Austin, and will be
absent two or three weeks. Before re-
turning he will visit Belmont, Nye
county, to look after some mining
property belonging to Eastern parties.
SEVERE FAIL.-Maria King fell off
a porch OH North G street, where she
was residing, this morning, some six
teen feet to the ground, and was badly
If not fatally Injured.
FUNERAI.-The funeral Of Harry
at Virginia, yesterday AZ
tcrnoon, was very largely attended by
brother Masons and numerous friends.
THERE is a message in the Telegraph
office, Gold Hill, for Mr.. Fougera.

A MInar,s Exnarianna.

An old miner who has experienced
explosions, thus describes them: Gas
soon as the explosion occurs, it drives
like a whirlWin6, and with force
enough TO carry any weight before it
in the direction of the nearest vent.
In going it sweeps along the ceiling,
tearing away props, brattices and
everything else, even the pillars of
coal. The unfortunate miner who
may be within its influence, instinc-
lively throws himself fat on the
ground. Before he can rise the gas
has encountered the body of sir NOV
ing in the opposite direction. They
come together with an elastic shock.
sufficient to change the direction Of
the gaseous tornado, and back Ii comes
with a rush, lifting the miner and
fiinging him probably a distance of
fifty feet against the ragged coal. Be
hind again there is a shock of pure air
and foul, and again the gas Whiris
back with undiminished fury, lifting
the miner once more and dashing
him back from whence he originally
came. Again and again this terrible
battledore is repeated. Nothing can
resist its impetuOsity. Meanwhile
the terrible afterdamp accumulates
with surprising rapidity. This is COM
posed OF the black damp which hangs
from the roof, and the white damp
which gathers along the floor. It
joins the gas at every rush, and adds
power and volume to its fury. The
helpless miner struggles with super
human strength to resist the buhettings
of the mine-hend, but now the damp
begins to seize upon his senses. The
sensation Is not unpleasant. He feels
slight dizziness; be becomes weak
and sleepy; he staggers; his knees
lose all their power and he falls.n

Saved by a Clergyman.
From the Detroit Tribune.

From the Detroit Tribune.
This may appear a curious heading
for a n wspaper article, but its rellvan-
ey to the facts we are about to narrate
viii be apparent to the reader when
be shall have perused these lines. A
few days since party of gentlemen,
including q clergyman, residing in
our city, went TO one OF the interior
towns of the State to transact some
business, and they necessarily re-
manned there over night. As the
morning train started early, the per-
sOBs referred to were obliged to take an
early start from the hotel or miss the
train, and thus be delayed several
hours. All of the party excepting the
Clergyman, by hard running, caught
the train, Just as it was leaving the
depot, and the reverend gentleman
was left behind. This was unavOida-
BILE, yet the mishap, if such it' can be
called, proved exceedingly service
able. It so happened that during the
night safe had been blown open and
robbed of 500, and suspicion naturally
fell upon the persons who were seen
running to the depot to catch the early
train. They were seen to Jump on
board the train, and they were sup
posed to be 2 gang of burglars from
this city who we're anxious to get away
from the scene of their most recent ex-
plot. The town was aroused, and it
was at once determined to telegraph
to the Chief Of Police at Detroit TO in
tereept the fugitives, who, it was be-
ieved, were on their way to Canada.
The excitement around the telegraph
Office at the depot while the telegram
was in process of preparation was
great, and, the attention of the clergy
man having been attracted thereto, a
few inquiries revealed to him the cause
of the trouble. His friends were
thought to be burglars. He, however,
announced the names Of the gentle
men and the nature of their business,
and the telegram requesting their ar
rest was not sent. This is the way
they were saved by clergyman.

cscsrlIl's Sprinss

The Nashville Union and Anssricdn
SAYS: When West End avenue" is
improved by men Of capital and leis-
Sure, the younger members OF the
famiiies might inquire, why that was
called ''COckrill SpriBg2" Its history
gives the answer thus: In 1779 John
I COckrin was one Of the pioneers who
1 came TO SUI Ohur Lick, on Cumberland
river, with ileneraI James Robertson.
They built 4 "blOck house. on the
bank Of the river, where the suspen-
sion bridge now crosses il, in which
the colony lived for some years In
1850 John COckrill married ske sister
OF Gen. Robertson, Elijah Robertson,
and Mark Robertson. The wedding
was in the block house, or fort, where
they lived tiB several children were
born. When the Indians were driven
further away, John Ccckrih purchased,
with 8 COW and calf, the fraet Of land
where the spring is, ana the Fair
Grounds, and Il included the Peniten-
tisry lots, and moved out with his
family TO the spring, and, in l7S-, built
the old frame building now standing
near the spring. The further eOnsid-
Grafton fox the purchase was thirteen
years in service as Indian fighter, Ia
which he was twice seriously wound
ed, but lived to 3 good old age, and
died the owner OF the aCOckrih
Spring. and ssFair Grounds" This
portion Of the tract descended to
Pstsey, the youngest daughter Of
thirteen children; the beauty and
belle OF Tennessee at that time. She
conveyed It to Mark r. Cockrill, and
he to John Boyd. This spring re-
nsined the property of John Cockrill
and his children for fifty years, and
hence the Bame, ''COckrih Spring."
and has been dedicated to the use Of
the future owners Of said tract by
Boyd's heirs, and thus became q pub
lie sprinQ. The Fair Grounds were
purchased by the company rom
BOyd's heirs, and is q portion OF the
tract.
Thus it appears that the spring was
never sold but once, Mark r. Cockrih
TO John Boyd.
