Polly says that while at Carson, he
sens to zone Of the Ormsby County Com
missionsrs and asked to be admitted
into the County Hospital, but was told
that being . nonresident, his request
could not be compiled with. He then
asked the County Commissioner to
send for a physician, which the latter
also declined doing. Superintendent

dressed : note to DIR. Hogan, the ply

right foot, both Of which have been
taken of. Polly Is overjoyed ut get

INDEPENDENCE NIrIEp. -
Among the passengers who disem-
barked from the train at Virginia City
this morning, was an emigrant. whose
baggage consisted Of an immense
wooden chest we'll stored with articles
of European manufacture. When eur
friend from across the water landed on
the platform In front of the railroad
depot, he dill not look around for a
porter or expressman to take charge oil
his baggage /; no. not he, but he just
elevated IL on his back. as II 1t were a
toy, and started up Union street rs
brayely as did Kneas when packing pd-
ter Anchises away from burning Troy.

the opinion that the man would not
have to go hungry long for lack OF EN-
ployment.
