THE Virginia Chronicle, of Monday
last, says: Thomas H. Stein, the we'll
known painter, died in this city yester-
day morning, of pneumonia. after an
illness of only three or four days. De-
ceased was native OF Steubenville,
Ohio, aged 80 years. He came to Cali
fornia in 1852, and commenced work at
his trade in Forrest City, soon afterward
removing to Downieville, where he re-
manned until the breaking out of the re-
bellion, when he enlisted in the Union
army. At the close of the war he took
up his residence in this city, where he
has since remained. lie was member
of the Grand Army OF the Republic and
Of Virginia Engine Company, No. l, by
whom he will be buried this afternoon.
Tom was wayward eccentric, one some
what OF character" in his way, but
with all his faults and peculiarities be
possessed generous and noble heart.
and was harmless to all save himself. 1t
seems but yesterday that We saw him IN
good health and in the prime and yigor
of his manhood, with thoughts of death
as far from his mind, perhaps, as yours
and ours, dear reader, and now We stand
above his lifeless form copying his coffin
plate: Thomas H. Stein, native of Steu-
benville, Ohio, aged 80 years; died
November 80, 1873"
We have been shown, says the Gold
Hill News, several pairs of the shoes now
being manufactured at the Nevada State
Prison, under the jurisdiction of Warden
Hyman. They are very strongly and
substantially made of the very best ma
terial, heavily nailed, and evidently
made to wear better and last longer than
| any other shoe except such as horses and
mules wear. For right servlcable,
plain, durable shoe they are the very
thing. They are no shoddy affair, but
well and neatly made in every particular,
and reflect great credit not only upon the
prison management, but upon the con-
victs themselves, who did the work. 1t
has heretofore evidently been considered
that those incarcerated humans were
only capable of making crib-boards and
stone match-safes; but Mr.. Hyman dis
covers that they can make shoes, and he
seems bent on making the institution as
far self-supporting as possible.
