Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1872-12-30

night two or three of our incest young
bachelor men in Gold Hill hired q car
rage and team and took a ride to Vir-
ginia, where they attended a meeting.
After the meeting was over they at
tended a lunch stand or two and got
full Of oysters on the half shell.
They felt pretty good ms they drove
gaily homeward; and the horses were
hilarious, although 1t was dark rs
pitch. Suddenly, as they were pass
Ing near the Globe Hotel, on South
C street, the starboard wheels Of their
carriage coliided with the larboard
wheels Of a huge quartz wagon stand
ing beside the road, and they brought
up all standing, or rather all tum-
bling. for they all pitched or rolled
out Into the street. The horses ..were
respectable, sensible animals, however,
and were easily persuaded not to run
away. On examination, they found
the carriage cockbilled over to one
side and concluded it was a total
wreck, so they unhitched the team
lifted the disabled carriage out Of
the way OF any other passing
teams and then walked home to
Gold Hill leading the horses. Next
morning the stable keeper took the
horses up there, found the carriage all
right, not hurt at all. hitched the team
to 1t and drove home. Those young
men were badly fooled in that smash
up.
The RAn.RoAp.-The regular through
trains 60 aud come on schedule time
and all the others come as near 1t as
possible. The Carson Appeal Of this
morning says: The six O'Clock train
last evening came in smoothly from
Reno, being stopped only n quarter OF
an hour beyond WaShoe near the Back
Action mill by a rock which had slid
down upon the track. Another slide
OF no Importance occurred this side OF
Frauktown, which was cleared oil
before the train came up. We have
reason to congratulate ourselves In
having the road open, especially at this
time, when there Is so much %trarcland
so much about to take place. The
railroad authorities have displayed eS-
traordinary energy and skill in remov-
ing unavoidable distractions.
Cross wALxs.-These great public
conveniences are being constructed by
the dozen wherever needed ut Vir-
ginia. Here in Gold Hill we have
none, and the only way In crossing
the street Is 10 leap from one eligible
spo. to another. taking chances OF mir
Ing occasionally. The ladies have the
worst Of it In that respect. II they ar
not good at leaping they just have to
do like Cousin Sally billiard. " hist up
their coats and wade through" As 1t
Is at present, II q lady needs to cross
the street to do a little shopping she
finds It more clearly and feasible to
get on board the bus and so to Nir-
Sinia. This Is bad policy. Half a
dozen, or at least two good substantial
block crossings should be made on
Main street forthwith.
That AroREsAID McGURS. - Nc
Gurn, the famous grocery and provis-
ion family cheap store man, South e
street, Virginia, is a philosopher.
Turkeys and chickens take kindly 10
him. He Is their favorite, and his store
"a their headquarters, where he hangs
them up by the hind quarters in the
most contented manner. No n can
get away from there without buying a
turkey, even II Mac has to sorve It up
roasted, and throw in a bottle or two
of wine. We know from experience
that McGurn Is a hospitable Christian
and remembers his friends.
