Bradley has followed the suggestion Of
President Gant in recommending the
2Sth OF this month as day of thanks
giving and prayer. The observance Of
the day IL time-hoaored, having been
handed down to us from our Pilgrim
fathers. No people can be more in
dsbted to an overriding Providence for
the blessings Of peace. the bounteous
production of harvests and the plenteous
yield OF the precious metals. than the
people OF the United States. Those
whose lot has been cast in Nevada can
never forget that they enjoy bracing
and healthful climate, and that from the
resources Of her mines countless wealth
is being obtained. It is therefore mete
and proper that they should observe this
holiday. Services OF . religious nature
will be observed, with discourses suitable
to the important event. We hope to see
business suspended. and the day observed
with thankfulness for the manifold bless

time that it 10 day for the cultivation OF

SAGE BRUsH.-Our attention was called
to this shrub in very peculiar way.
Happening into one Of our saloons the
other evening, we espied two sports en-
gagged in social game of old sledge.
They were only playing to pass time, as
the stakes were small-only four bits
corner. One OF the gents had laid aside
his sombrero, and his Uranium distinctly
showed that the wool had departed there
from. He being an old acquaintance
from the Web-foot country, we remarked:
"Joe, old boy, time has not produced
much hair on that head" when his OPP
ponent in the game quickly raised his hat
and said: See what sage has done for
me- and we noticed quite luxuriant
growth sprouting. Joe asked: Ibid
sage do that?" Tho reply being in the
affirmative, Joe then went on to tell what
he knew about sage and sage-brush, all
the time playing his little game. Says
he: Sage will make the hair grow, sage
will cure the fever, sage will fatten stock,
and sage-brush will make a good fire;
and think that sage is a success. High,
low, Jack and the game, which puts me
out, and the coin belongs to joe" When
we left, Joe's opponent was looking over
his glasses, to see what had become of
his four bits.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.-The Committee
on laws. representing both the Hose and
Hook and Ladder Companies, had q
meeting on Sunday last, for the adoption
OF laws to govern the Department. Pro-
vision was made for the election Of a
Board of Delegates, Chief Engineer and
Assistant Engineers. Both committees
will have meeting within few days
for the purpose of taking final action in
references to tho matter. This movement
il very proper one on the part of the
two companies. Without proper organ
ization. the Department cannot be made
fully efficient III the work of combating
any fire that might occur. Within a
short time all preliminaries will be made
for tho efficient and proper organization
of the Department.
OLD TIMES, Rox.--Capt VIM. Boyle, a
well known mining man on this coast,
arrived here on Saturday from San Fran
cisco, via Shelburn. Capt. Boyle is well
pleased with the outlook in this camp,
and after further examination we are
sure he will be able to make highly
favorable report to the San Francisco
capitalists whose interests he represents.
Captain Boyle is one of the Mexican
Brigade, whose acquaintance We made
i'll Mexico seven or eight years ago, while
We were engineering the Mazatlan
Times; and the whirhgig of time has
brought us face to face again. "Sich is
life."
SUNDAY NIaHr.-A friend who is capa-
BILE of judging, speaks in high terms OF
Sunday nights entertainment by the
Lorraine 4 Mason Troupe. The ballad
by Newman. and I'm waiting, Darling,
for Thee, by j. Jenkins, were specially
worthy OF notice. The Statue Clog, by
Lorraine and Jenkins, was very goo i, and
elected o clamorous encore.
JUSTICES CoURr.-The trial Of NJ. H
Lichtenstein, charged with selling goods
to Indians contrary to the statute in
such cases, has been set for 10 O'Clock
to-day, before Justice Stoutenburph
The examination of James Woods for
the killing of VIM. McCarty is also set
for to-day, but it is not likely that the
latter case will be reached.
HANDSOME MAp.-We arc indebted to
MIR. @. E. Durand for handsome map
OF Ely District, compiled and drawn by
himself. 1t contains beautiful view of
Phoebe, together with the relative posi-
tons of the various mines in the camp.
1t is valuable for reference, and ought to
be in the hands of every one engaged in
mining.
