We have had several cotton
blooms sent to us SO far, this season
We expect cotton boil in day
or two, and it is to be hoped our
friend Jerry Wilson will not favor
us this year with a bottle of cotton
worms. We arc not safe yet, but
prospects are encouraging, and we
earnestly hope the seasons will con-
tinue as favorable as they have been
in the past.

Some of our enterprising fruit
growers are doing a good business
shipping early apples and pears to
the west. We understand that
these articles command ready sale
and paying prices. In a day or
two peaches will also find their way
to the same market. The fruit trade
in this section promises TO be good
all summer, from the fact that the
frosts killed nearly all the fruit
north of Tennessee.

The nest robbers are pillaging the
nests of the harmless birds again.
Almost every day we sec boys with
unfedgcd moclling birds offering
them for sale upon our streets. 1t

birds nests in the city limits. 1t

stopped, and at at once.

RELIEF FOR

Eureka has acquitted herself nobly
in the matter of aiding the sufferers by
the Virginia fire. The committees
were out yesterday and in a few hours
collected something over 5000. Ruby
Hill is yet to be heard from, and addi-
tional subscriptions are promised in
this town. The receipts OF the Corner
saloon to-day will also amount to =
handsome sum, 80 the committee is
confident of being able to forward at
least one thousand dollars more. We
knew the peopleo Of Eureka, when called
upon, would respond generously, and
80 they did, SURPRISING even, in their
liberality, the expectations of the most
s%anguine. 1t is proper to state in this
connection that steps would have been
taken here looking to the relief of the
stricken people of our neighboring city
at q much earlier date, had their ur-
gent necessities been better understood.
For some days after the conflagration
the wires were Frustrated, rendering ii
impossible to get full particulars of the
terrible disaster. When the situation
was onc properly understood, how
ever, all we're anxious to render as
sistance, and although our contribution
goes forward a little late, no spirit OF
reluctance characterizes the tender.

suNDAY READING.

A short sermon in tile SENTINEL on
this quiet Sabbath morning is not out
Of place, and while we do not claim to
be much of . preacher, we are enabled
to furnish the desired article. The
subjoined from the pen of the Rev.
Sidney Smith, on the folly of pride and
the ~littleness of man generally, Is not
Just the thing to adorn a tale, but it
does point very strongly in a moral d.
rection. We commend its peru
sal to the conceited sinners of
the Base Range. Bere is what the
Rev. Smith says: "After all, take
some quiet, sober moment of life, and
add together the two ideas of pride and
of man; behold him, a creature of a
span high, stalking through infinite
space IN all the grandeur of l~ittleness.
Perched on q speck OF the universe,
every wind of heaven striking into his
blood the GOODNESS OF death; his soul
floats from his body like melody from
the string; day and night, as dust on
the wheel, he is rolled along the heav-
ems, through a labyrinth of worlds
and all the creations OF God are fam.
ing above and beneath. Is this a
creature to make himself a crown of
glory, to deny his own flesh, to mock
at his fellow, sprung from the dust to
which both will soon return? Does
the proud man not err? Does he not
suffer? Does he not die? When he
reasons is he i've stopped by diff.
culties? When lie acts is he never
tempted by pleasure? When he dies
car he escape the common grave?
Pride is not the heritage of man; hui
mility should dwell with frailty, and
atone Tor ignorance, error and imper-
fection 2"

SEEALINGS.

Several people were severely burned
at Virginia City on Tuesday. Among
the number were Frank Mills, Captain
OF the Police. and w. w. Tinker, of the
saloon firm OF Tinker & Shepard. Mills
had one OF his eyes limo put Out by
a flying cinder, and Tinker had his
left hand terribly burned. The injury
is so great that it may be permanently
cripcled. Jim Orndortf had his face
badly burned.
The man who killed Dunstan at Vir-
ginia has been taken to Carson and
lodged in the county Jail for safe keep
ing, it being feared that the populace
Of Storey county might take the law
into their " hands and lynch the
prisoner.
Peter Larkin, who stands accused OF
the murder of Daniel Corcoran. made
his Escape from the Virginia City jail
but was rearrested and placed in charge
of Sheriff Swift, who took him to Car

hour later unhurt.
The Enterprise lost all of its newspa'
per files, dating back to 1857. This is
