Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1871-12-20

Charley Wilbur, Of the Fulton Market,
b street, says tho Enterprise Of this
morning. had q narrow escape from
drowning yesterday morning, in the
lower part Of Slxinile canyon. He
was driving the wagon which runs
from the market, and In attempting to
ford the canyon at a point below
Flowery, his wagon dropped into q
deep hole worn On n side OF the
track, and was overturned. He was
thrown into tho roaring torrent and
carried down its rocky channel n dis
lance Of over two hundred yards be-
fore he succeeded in getting ashore.
The only injury he sustained was n
pretty severe bruise on the back Of the
head, which he received by being
driven against a rock. The wagon,
with the exception Of tho wheels, was
reduced to a perfect wreck, and baskets
Of meat, vegetables and all else in the
wagon was lost. By hard work the
team was saved uninjured.
The PooR.-Winter may DO con-
sidcred now to DO fairly set In, and
pretty roughly at that. There Is no
Ladies' Mite Society here In Gold Hill
this Winter for the poor and needy to
look to In their distress, and we DO not
hear of ANY especially organized be-
neyolent society NJ Virginia, but 1t Is
to be hoped that those best able and in
comfortable circumstances will not
forget their needy neighbors. There
Is plenty Of provisions, clothing II
fuel to be had In both places, and those
who enjoy the luxury Of comfort anu
plenty should not neglect those whose
circumstances will not permit them to
enioy either. "He that giveth to the
poor lendeth to the Lord" should not
30 lost sight of by those who have
plenty and to spare. All who invest
In this wise will have ample security,
and there is no doubt rs to the Invest
ment.
