Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1874-05-10

WEEKLY GossrP.-Another week has
closed, and its termination was signal
lied by the suicide of an unhappy man,
who seemed determined to rid himself of
this mortal coil. If the crusaders had
been in town, we fear that the death of
this unfortunate man would have furI-
ished them with an argument to avoid
the realm of King Alcohol. The monot-
ony of the early part of the week was
broken by fire, which, if it had
not been for the exertions of several
of our town folks might have
destroyed the Page & Panaca hosting
works, and perhaps other buildings.
But it had no chance, for the boys,
headed by Russ Lcott and L. Hamilton,
just went for it and fairly tramped it out.
If the water supply does not give out on
the occasion of fire, we may hope to
see it extinguished if strong and willing
arms can DO it. We have some splendid
material for firemen here in Phoebe, and
some old hands at the business too. With
these exception, there was but little &C.
cured to break the ordinary routine of
matters. One of Burns'-who was pre-.
eminently the poet OF the people-most
beautiful productions was his description
of the close of the week in his Collars
Saturday Night. How truthfully and
tenderiy he sketches the cessation of the
daily toll, the dearly priced visit of
| the eldest daughter and the bashful
awkwardness of her rustic suitor. Then
how solemnly he depicted the aged sire,
tho ,,atr;arol 20 hn al
opening that book that is the foundation
of eternal life, and calling his family to
worship the Great Author of all bless
ings. What a lesson does this rigidly,
truthful description of what takes place
in many humble cottage give to those
who perhaps are enjoying greater bless
lngs, still are repining and unthankful.
As Mrs. Stowe makes Uncle Tom say:
"We all has our privileges" but some
Of those who have the most seem least
contented, and those who have but few
appear to be the most thankful.
