"Mamma is Dead"-A Sad story.

Mr.. JOHN w. VAN BRoCKLIN, of Twin
Bridges, near Virginia City, New, was
helping to build church at Sheridan,
and was away from home with his wagon
and team from Monday morning till
Saturday night He had been several
weeks so occupied. He was, therefore,
absent from his wife and two little chill
dren, the eldest five years old, all week, eX-
cept Saturday nights and Sundays. Mrs
Van Brocklin and the children enjoyed
good health, and the husband and father
had no fear for the safety of the birds in
the home.nest. There were near neigh
bors, too On Saturday evening the two
children used to toddle a good distance
along the road by which their father
came, TO meet him and get a ride home in
the wagon. On late Saturday Mr.. Van
Brocklin was returning home as usual,
and the two little fellows had gone quite
distance to meet him. He stopped to
take them in the wagon, and as he lifted
them up, he asked, GLOW is mamma?''
Two little voices replied, 80, papa, man.

correctly and asked again, "Your mann

poor woman had passed away. The doctor
said her attack was of paralytic nature
This is the children's story, gathered from

evening, Mrs Van Brocklin called hel
children to her, and told them she wa:
sick, and to run and call the neares
neighbor. Then she fell down on the
bed. She never said anything more tC
them, and they at first supposed she was
asleep. II was growing dark, and they
were afraid to 20 for the neighbor. They
slept in their clothes, and tried to walker
their mother in the morning, but sht
would not rouse. They ate what they
could find cooked in the house, and drovt
up the cows morning and evening to b,

be remarked in passing, was one Of the
most excruciating known in the dark

FtJfh-That we highly indorse the action Of the

heartily applaud the active measures OF the late

We have seen with profound regret, In the develop

official corruption, and the abuse Of responsible
positions by men Of ell political parties TO further
personal ends and we demand pure official con-
duct and the punishment Of unfaithfu public men,
State and National, who, having betrayed the con

shielded from the disgrace Of their acts by any
partsanship OF ours, and we denounce all Credit

the burden OF taxation and to continue the reduc-

OF the late act Of Congress by which the salaries
were increased should be promptly and uncondi-
