Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1872-12-26

on Tuesday evening, and the natal day
OF our Lord dawned upon many who were
in no frame of mind to comprehend fully
the Significance of the halo which sur
rounds the day in the Christian mind.
Not few kept up their revelries during
the whole night, and in the morning pre-
sented a sad spectacle; but, as the saying
Is, christmas comes but once year, +"
and so long as the hilarity was unaccom-
panied by boisterous and unruly conduct,
we are indeed gratifed-to see
SO much merriment. The weather was
inauspicious. Rain had fallen during
the previous night, and the streets were
80 muddy that iocomotion was ANYTHING
but agreeable; yet the town was alive
with people, and greetings of merry
Christmas y were heard on every hand.
iom-and-Jerry, egg-nog, wines and
liquors of all kinds, were to be obtained
IN the greatest quantity, and it was net
allowed to go begging. Fine lunches
were spread in the Palace Club Rooms
and in the Capitol Saloon. Private fami-
lies partook of home dinners and recalled
the pleasant scenes Of the past, now gone
forever, but still to memory dear The
Tiger was tackled in all his native
ferocity, and other games Of chance were
patronized freely. At present writing
70 p. n.y. We have no disturbance to men,

A CHARITY HosPIrAL.-It is creditable
to the benevolence Of our people to say
that there is society in Phoebe which
has for its main object the amelioration
of the condition of those who meet with
misfortune. We refer to the Society of
st. Vincent de Paul. In quiet way,
and without ostentation or parade, this
institution has expended some ST 600 for
the relief of the sick and destitute, and
has in course. of completion hospital
Where the sick falling into the hands of
the Society may be provided for in u
systematic manner. The completion
OF the hospital will mark an era in the
history OF Phoebe, which is worthy of
some public demonstration. We suggest
that its formal dedication to the humane
purposes for which it is designed, be
| slgnallzed by the attendance of the peo-
| pie and addresses suitable to the occa-
sion. The theme is one well calculated
to inspire the orator with words which
will touch the heart and stimulate a
higher appreciation Of the great virtues of
| benevolence and charity.
THEArRE.--Last night fill house
greeted the management when the cur
tain rose. BY the too free use of ''the
ardent" during the day it being Christ
mas few were somewhat noisy, but
they were gently reminded of the pro-
prlety OF keeping order, and all went on
smoothly. The play of "The Bells
was rendered admirably throughout,
Mr.. Mcguire fully maintaining his repu-
tatlon as first class actor. We regret
that we were not able to witness this
piece to the close, SO that we might give
full description of it. Suffice il to say
that it took remarkably well with the
audience, and its repetition will insure q
crowded house. 1.-The Bells will be re-
peated tonight f"
AL.-About 8 o'clock last night a
Chinaman sought refuge in our Office
AAoAA 'hO u"hSeA Vi sumo uau VINO uott
struck him. We hope the perpetrator of
wanton attack upon an unoffending
Chinaman will yet meet his deserts.
Drunkenness is no adequate excuse for
such conduct, and we are not in favor of
accepting the plea Of insanity in mitiga-
ton, Whatever may be said of the Chi
nese, certain it is that they never pick a
quarrel with white man. Those who
are really superior to Chinaman will
manifest that superiority by treating
them kindly wanton attack is q sad
evidence Of brutal instincts. .... ...
For CARSON. Hon. John Il. Wilson,
Senator from Lincoln county, starts of
this morning for the State Capital to
enter upon the discharge Of his legisla-
tive duties. We are justified by long
personal acquaintance in saying that
| Mr.. Wilson, from years of residence on
the Pacific coast, and possessing great
natural sagacity. is as well qualified for
the trust committed to his charge as any
member Of the Senate. Being thoroughly
honest and with a reputation without
blot or blemish, we are sure that he
will leave good record behind him at
| the close Of the session.
RAIS.-Yesterday morning we were
awakened from our slumbers by the pat
tering of the rain upon the roof of our
domicile g, ard all day long the hght!of
old Solwas obscnred by fog and clouds.
Clear weather is not to be reasonably
looked for before the first of the month
to come. The rain which has fallen has
laid the dust, and few days of sun
shine will leave the streets and high
ways in n much better condition than
they have been for some time back.
Masonic BALL.-The Masonic Ball to
be given by the Masons OF Phoebe, on
st. Johns Day. will take place to-tnor-
row evening in Jacobs & Sultan's build
ing. 1t is expected that this will be the
finest ball of the season, complete ar
rangements having been made to render
the affair complete success. = A fine
hall has been secured, good music pro-
Cured, and every provision made ia
render it pleasurable occasion.
