NEVADA STATE ITEMS.


From the Gold Hill News, August l5.l
A SURPLUS OF TEAcHERs.-We are IN |
receipt of numerous letters from teach
ers residing in all parts of the United
States, who, tempted by the apparently
high wages paid to teachers here, are
anxious to emigrate to Nevada. These
people do not seem to understand that
the cost OF living in Nevada is about
twice or thrice as great as III any other
State in the Union. Teachers don't get
rich in Nevada any faster than elsewhere.
To those of our readers living outside
of the State, we say, abandon the idea of
coming to Nevada to teach school. In
this State the business is already over
done. There are score of applicants
for every vacant position.
A TERRIBLE affair took place last We'd
nesday evening at Galena, in this State.
Some miners were celebrating the mar
riage of friend at saloon, when they
commenced quarreling and fight en-
sued, during which a man named
Frank Mccain was stabbed to the heart
and instantly killed by Charles Mcintosh.
Mccain was much respected, and, as far
as report goes, was in no way to blame
in the matter. He was native of Ohio,
aged % years. Mcintosh succeeded in
making his escape, but was captured
last evening.
LuSATIC.-A crazy man, name I'M
known, has been wandering about the
country in the vicinity Of Fort Churchill
for several days past. The man had
eaten nothing since Tuesday last. A. NJ.
McCabe, Deputy Sheriff of Lyon coun-
ty, learning of the whereabouts of the
insane man, went down to Fort Churchill
and captured him. Night before last the
man slept in the middle of the road with
q stone for pillow. Sheriff McCabe
brought him up to Dayton and lodged
him in the Lyon county Jail.

The scale formed by the water formerl
