GONE EAsT.-Our old Humboldt
county friend, Dave Weaver, left last
evening tor the East. lie is going to
Ohio for the purpose Of organizing a
company to work some valuable mines
in Bald Mountain District, in White
Pine county. This district is situated
midway between Elko and Hamilton
and is attracting considerable atten-
ton from recen developments of riuh
silver and copper lodes. MIR. Weaver
has six locations, and, from the speci-
and reports OF parties who have ex-
ainined them, we are confident that
the property is worthy of the attention
aud will p-ove a profitable investment
for Eastern capitalists.

FooLINa HER FRIENDs.-One of the

the select circle of her ac~quaintances
last night by declaring that she\ had
taken "cold pizen" and was about to
exit II. L. E., from this drcary sphere
Of pain and sorrow. or curse unre-
Quilted love was the cause OF it, but the
tanned that the damsel was playing her

San Francisco Bakery. The
PASSING COUNrERFEsr NONE,


Last evening as we were sitting
quietly in our sanctum inditing a
homily upon moral ethics, We were
suddenly interrupted by the entrance
off couple of hoodlums, who informed
us that a friend of ours had been ar
rested for passing counterfeit money,
and vas then in the custody of an
officer at Van Alstine's wine rooms,
on Main street. Having once served a
term in the California penitentiary for
"shoving the queer" our sympathies
were at once enlisted, and we accom-
panied the aforesaid hoOdlums to the
hosiery above mentioned, where We
found the culprit in the very act.
Nearly all of the legal talent in town
was present, but with the ~selfishness
characteristic of the profession the
lawyers declined having anything to
do with the case, ostensibly for the rea-
son that the evidence was too plain
against the criminal, but really be-
cause of his inability to raise the wind
to remunerate them for their services,
and SO they left the poor devil to his
fate, and when we left him he was still
defying public opinion and the laws of
his country by the bare--faced pur-
suance of his nefarious business. Any
person DESTROYS Of witnessing = speci-
men of hardened villainy can get his
everlasting - satisfy" by visiting San
dy's crib and getting joshed as we
WERE.

AN OUTRAGE. The Calathumpian
Band, led by Don Ricardo Guiber-
sonofa- serenaded the SENTINEL Of
flee last evening with u series of the
most Internal discords that ever out
ragged the atmosphere Of the Base
Range. We tried to set our dog on the
outfit, but old Archie had unfortu.
nately been raised in good society and
declined to stultify himself by meeting
the crowd upon equal terms. We then
turned a six-horse pistol loose; the ball
hit he leader in the cheek, flattened
and glanced off, infic:ing a serious
wound upon the paper collar OF the
trombone player. Our devil then exe-
cuted a flank movement with Web
s!er's Unabridged and a sheepsfoot,
when the villains retreated in disorder
to the Corner sa'oon, where they
brought a premature attack Of the de-
lirium tremens OF Old ransy," and
drove Hogan. the gambler, into a fit of
Mysteries. The wretciies deserve to be
sentenced to forty days in the pest
house each.

The Colby Wringer Works.
WATERBURY, January 10, /.

WATERBURY, January 10, 1874,
Messrs. Editors Il do not write for d" The
papers, but happening in at the Colby
Wringer Works to-day saw and heard a few
things which | concluded to make note Of -
1t was their Annual Meeting Of Stockholders,
land small meeting too, for their stock is held
in few hands,) but | learned from the results
OF their one year and eight months business
that the prosperity Of the company is beyond
even the guesses Of our " shrewd ones" Last
year this company made a cash dividend of ten
per cent on eight months business and this
year ten per cent. for the year, making twenty
per cent. in twenty months. Besides this they
have carried between S. 600 and $4,000 to
surplus accoupt. This on capital of $23,OO
! call pretty good In the past year they have
worked mp and sold nearly half n million feet
Of lumber, and have used over fifty tons of iron
and rubber. Their freghts over the Central
Vermont railroad have been more than two
hundred and fifty tons, and their business
amounts to about $4,000 per year.
We find their shops just now running
light but the thousands of mill logs in their
yards and quantities Of material in readiness
warns us that it will be lively times here in the
early spring or as soon as business RECEIVERS
from the effects Of the panic.
At the annual election the old officers were
reelected, viz; Directors, A. Dillingham;
president, 4 j. Green, +. Il. Smith, (lieas-
urer,) C. II. Town, A. Iandt.
| will only add, let success attend all such
Efforts to build up active business in our midst
| heard nothing said about the business mana
ger, but no doubt Mr.. f. Il. Smith is to be
continued. "ox'

Attorney General Williams, on Welncs-
day last, sent q letter to the President re-
spcctfully requesting him to withdraw his
nomination TO the Senate as Chief Justice
The letter Of course rccites how that, since
bis nomination the aoodgatcs Of cilumny
had been opened upon him - how that
" his hands are clean and his heart pure:'
but the President promptly withdrew the
nomination. Exit Williams.
On the day following the President sent
to the Senate the nomination Of Caleb Cu,h-
ing for this position. Mr. Cushings car.
pet bag at This time was supposed to be
packed for Madrid, as our minister to The
Spanish court, and the nomination ot least
had the merit Of creating genuine surprise.
OF Mr. Cushings legal abilities and at
tainmonts there can be no question. lie
has for more than half a century been in
the counsels of administrations, both state
and federal, and here aud at the bar ard
on the bench, has shown himself an able
and learned lawyer And yet it is very
questionable whether bis training has been
such as to render him broad and we'll
balanced judge, such as the people have a
right to demand for this position On the
contrary, it is claimed by those who know
him best, that he shines rather as a partizar
and a special ploadar, than in the wider
and more comprehensive scope demanded o
a judge.
We take no particular exception to Mr.
Gushing on the ground that politically h,
is a democrat, although if woare to have
Judge Of that political faith, we think w
have right to demand the best tn
market affords, and we seriously doub
if we bavo this in the present nominee
His past political career has been orratiC
and he has the reputation Of wearing hi
convictions Of this character very loosely
Then again his advanced age seyenty-lou
years, is decidedly against him, although
this fact will doubtless work in favor o
his confirmation with those Senators VIII
are rcputod to have a longing eye upo
the position
At this time there is no prospect bu
what the nomination will be confirmed b
the Senate, although we greatly fear tina
the President has for the second time mis-
taken the wishes and judgment Of the pee
pie in this matter.

Davis should wax warm over his subject,
and say his full say in regard to it. lie
has had time for consideration and ropen.
lance since then, aud now declares that
his remarks were perverted, supplement-
ing this declaration with another to the
effect that he will make another speech

jority of the American people when we
declare that we favor Mr.. Dlyiss silent
