" workmen the next three months to
do 1.-THE superficial extent OF the roof
being an acre. Our stating that MIR.
Ryno was foreman at Gillig, Mott &
Co.'S, Virginia, gave some persons the
idea that the firm aforesaid had the

employed at j. p. Smiths hardware

directions TO put on as many hands as
was needed. Only this and nothing
more.

DEAD BRAvEs.-A local item In the
Carson appeal states that a sheep
herder a short time since discovered
tue bodies of one or two dead Indians
in the vicinity Of Waltz Hot Springs.
The bodies were in an advanced stage
OF decomposition. 1t is unfortunate
for these warriors that they have failed
TO receive the rights Of sepulture, mas
much as, according to the belief OF the
ancients, they will have to wander a
hundred years oil the banks OF ths
river StyI before they a be permit
ted to pass over, all for the lack OF a
little earth strewn upon their misera.
