generous little Eureka. That town

Relief Committee. 1t is like that peo-
pie. Times are hard in that place,

money to spare. But little more

despite these drawbacks and misfor-
tunes, when it was told that people
that there were women aud babies
here without necessary food and
clothes, they answered promptly with
u shower of gold. Eureka has in her
men and ! ZONE of the best stuff
In the world. They commenced their
work there with no ca pital, except
pluck and hope, and have no re-
ceived a cent from without that they
have not paid lack four-fold. They
have fought a stubborn fortune from
the first, and whatever they have they
won in open fight with hardships and
difficulties. knowing these things,
tine receipt of the dispatch from there
yesterday, announcing the muniticent
donation sent to our distressed ones,
caused a thrill of profound gratitude
here, and it passed from mouth to
mouth, " Have you heard what gallant
little Eureka has done? Is it not
grand?" We trust Eureka will never
need help from abroad, but should a
misfortune come to her people, they
may court on the grateful remem-
brance of Virginia City.
