B. Smith, for several years Secretafy OF
the Virginia aud Gold Hill Water Com
pany, and a gentleman universally es-
teemed in this community, was stricken
with paralysis last night. tie attended
the races yesterday afternoon, and last
night he invited Governor Bradley to
spend the night with him. During the
night the Governor heard Smith numb
ling. but, surprising that he was talking
in his sleep, paid no further attention to
it. Just at daylight this morning the
Governor awoke and said: Smith. amt
it time for us TO get up" Smith at
tempted a reply. when his manner OF |
speaking alarmed the Governor, ~ho' |
on placing his ear close to Smith : mouth
made out to understand that he (smithp
had been stricken with paralysis during
the night. The Governor Immediate
~ went for a physician, when it was as
certained tina. the unfortunate mans
right side, including the tongue, was
wholly paralyzed, while his left and the
whole body was affected. At l O'Clock
this afternoon Smith was conscious and
could use his left hand little and move
the right, but he could only whisper IN
broken and half.intelligble sentences,
and his condition is considered an eX-
tremely critical one.
JAMES A. LOGAN, no old resident and
miner OF White Pine, man universally
esteemed wherever known, and who lost
both eyes aud one hand by the prema-
ture discharge of blast some months
since. has arrived in this city. says the
Virginia Chronicle, to ask aid OF his
brother miners and all who feel charita-
bly, disposed. Logan case is a peculiar
ly sad one. He has wife, and was al
ways a sober, hard.working and provi-
| dent man, whose purse never failed to
open when a call for assistance was
made by the needy and now he finds
himself, in the vigor of his manhood,
cast, utterly helpless, upon the charity OF
his fellow men, The miners ct Austin.
Belmont, Eureka, Hamilton and Phoebe
have contributed literally toward his re-
| lief, and we feel confident that those of
the Comstock will not be outdons by any
when it is made known that the subject
is most worthy one, as Mr.. Logan GER
tainly is.
