No candidate is yet named with
any certainty for the Massachusetts,
Senatorship, as Mr.. Summers sue
cessor. The heavy defeat of the
Republicans has disiointed the
party machinery and weakened the
prospects of Mr.. Dawes; the sup
porters of Judge Hoar do not yet
know their strength, and there is
still greater doubt as to the nomin-
alton of Senator Washburn, Gov
ernor Bullock, or Professor Seelye.

ME-. EDITOR:-Ihe solemn spec
tacle of a wretched human being
launched into eternity, by that
relic of a barbarous age, the gal
lows, was to have been witnessed
in this quiet berg Yesterday, by at
least three thousand souls, many
being of the feminine gender.
The miserable curiosity by which a
woman could be attracted to such a
scene. does not speak we'll for
liberal education, and Christ 5
teachings. Just as the moose was
about to be placed around his neck,
reprieve was handed to the Shor-
if, granting a stay until Thursday
next.
This man Murphy, as you will
no doubt remember, murdered in
cold blood a fellow countryman,
who had. as he thought, grossly
insulted him, somewhere back in
the mountains. Murphy followed
bjh BjtiB to Ga8Fi4l29 iii lffh &a d9G 4Raff}33
his intention before hand. and shot
him near Benton's stable. upon his
stepping from the door. Under
the law it was case Of premed-
ltated murder; and its majesty was
sought to be indicated by the
hanging of its breaker.
The town has been visited recent
ly by number of the members
comprising the incoming Legisla-
ture, all of whom have made Il
business in searching for rooms.
boarding places, etc. These necos-
sary adJuncts to comfort are very
scarce, while those who have ac-
commodations to spare are very
willing to accept pretty steep prices
for the privilege of taking you in.
This is one of the local customs of
the people, and transpires every
two years. The off year. visitors
are served quite moderately, and
no seeming desire manifests itself
to gobble up all your dinero.
The stock mania has full posses
sion Of every ones faculties almost:
and all who can beg, borrow, and
more that steal, are in on margins
for their pile. The usual private
information" character is a full
blown flower on Carson street. and
whispers, "B Il b, As, B-r,
C-P, U-C., are the best BUYS;
will go to hundred before the LIST
January. Better take a little in
for flyer" SO they go; and the
consequence is the grocer, the
baker, the dispenser of the rosey,
the doctor, and almost every other
business man and trader, is put off
on pay day, by the mo money"
ejaculation, while at the same time.
the young, popular, handsome. and
energetic stock brokers, Kelley &
Hofer, are gathering up commits
slons to the tune of 500 per day,
to the dismay of Deacon Rice. who
orders gentlemen out of his pres
ence, with the cry of " Get out of
my office, Cd d-m you" Rice
formerly had a monopoly of the
stock brokerage business; but his
oyerbearing manner and ungentle-
manly ways, called for the estab-
lishment of a house who would
treat the public as they should be
treated, viz: in a courteous, civil
manner. The want has been sup
piled, in the persons of Kelley IL
Hofer, as above mentioned.
There is nothing of additional
note to mention in this letter. NV

SERGEANT-AT-ARMs. - While at
Carson the other day we met with
Mr.. Hank Gage, a candidate for
Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate.
Mr.. Gage-an old resident of the
State, a true-blue Republican-has
occupied the position before with
great credit to himself, and we
doubt not has the inside track in
the coming contest.

Why Murmur7

We are led to PROFOUND this question
because Of the fact that we hear persons
complaining bitterly, almost daily, oI
their lot in life. They imagine their diff
feulties, trials, troubles and disappoint'
ments, are greater in number and ST.
verer in character, than those of any
their fellows. They say they were born
under an unlucky star, that their patti
way is strewn with thorns. and that they
have but seldom tasted the 4" sweets OF
life. " The future is murky-no ray OF
hope fits before them-no good in store
for them And ,has they 90 on mul murng
oblivious of the manifold aud rich bless
ings bestowed upon them And while all
around them thousands are bowed down
with greater burdens and drink deeper
Of tho cup Of bitterness True it Is. that
this life is cheqnered with good and evil,
but no one ought to forget that his or
her life. no matter how burdensomc,
might be made, to great degree, more
so. Then, let us, one and all, cheer
up and cease murmuring. feeling grateful
unto the Giver for the blessings received,
