OBrruARY.-"old Joe," dissipafed
sheep, whom most OF our readers will
remember to have seen about Moneys
livery stable on B street, Virginia
City, has departed this life. He died
of old age, alcohol and tobacco. He
may be said to have grown up with
the country. Fourteen years ago,
when but a lamb, he was left at Silver
City by a drover on account Of his hay
ing sore feet. For the past IL years
he has resided In Virginia City. His
besettlng sin was his fondness for alco-
hollc beverages and tobacco. He sell
dom missed his morning cocktails, and
on one occasion when his friends ap-
peared to turn the cold shoulder on
him, in n tit OF desperation, he rushed
into n saloon In the absence Of the pro-
prietor and demolished q demijohn
of whisky, using his head as q
battering-ram. Old Joe helped him
self literally to the extract Of corn as
IL flowed along over the floor, and got
gloriously drunk. He was always
getting Into trouble, q way or an
other, and was In the habit OF making
frequent raids upon neighboring fruit
stands. In early lite he manifested a
prediction for newspaper literature.
Toward the close Of his life the old
fellow became blind. He died full Of
years aud honors.
