Judge Pershing accepts the democrats
nomination for Governor Of Pennsylvania.
but II is said prefers to retain his seat on
the bench until he is elected. rather than
resign and take the stump and the chances.
The democrats have twice nominated him
for Congress and once for Judge of the
Supreme Court, but did not succeed in
electing him either time, and he owes his
present position to the republicans and
Labor Reformcrs. But the democrats did
send him to the Legislature. where he op-
posed the grecnback currency and the
national banking system. Now he ac-
cepts the soft-money platform, with all
the abnegation OF principle that the act
implies.

A Triumph over Humbrg

1t is not difficult to alarm Il Q timid,
and invalids are proverbially so. Aware
of this fact, the venders of pseudo bitters
" "entirely free from alcohol" | ave raised
a false cry against tonic pre- parations
containing spirits, and no doubt have
frightened a few sick folks into purchas-
ing the fcrmented rubbish which they sell
and which is infinitely more injurious
than the vilest drains drunk at tavern
bars. But already a tremendous reaction
has set in against these abominable nos
trums, which, being devoid of the alco-
holic basis which alone prevents liquid
botanic preparations from turning Sour,
decompose almost as soon as made. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters has lived and
will live down multitudes of such impos-
lures. A regular recurrence of the de-
mand for the great Alternative invigorant
from those who have always been its pa
irons, shows that they have not swerved
in their time honored allegiance to Amer
ica's most popular remedy and con-
slant influx of new orders demonstrates
how little impression, after all, the bat-
ant denunciations of the mock bitters
men have made upon the general public.
SO long as Hostetter's Bitters continue to
cure and prevent intermittent and remit
tent fevers, dyspepsia, constipation, kid
ney disease, and the numerous other all
ments to which they are adapted, they
will continue to dominate the factious OPP
position of humbugs, and that will be
just as long as they are manufactured
and sold. Be it known unto all bogus
nostrum vendors, of every degree of au-
dacity and knavery, that they can never
hope to puff themselves into public favor
at the expense of Hostetter's Bitters, the
reputation Of which is founded, as it
were, upon n rock. feb NJ

LETTER FROM NEVADA.
VIRGINIA. CITY, Feb. 2l. lS7;

VIRGINIA CITY, Feb. 21, 1875.
FRIEND EDITOR Perhaps you would
like to hear from wanderer from old
Trinity. Although so far away, weoften
think of the dear old place, recall the
many happy days spent there, and wish
to see it again. Every little item we see
from there is read with avidity. If we
were not rich there we had lots of fun.
Riches do not trouble us very much here,
either-it is always tomorrow. About
twenty old Trintarians are resident here.
L suppose you are posted about our
Comstock kings. There is King Mack
ey-reported to be worth Fifty Million
Dolars-came here only few years ago
and actually did not have four bits to nav
for his dinner but an unkind word fr ON
the foreman of mine made him quit his
work with the pick and shovel and now
he is away up. Then there is James Fair
(Sllppery Jim) one of the longest heads
on the lead. Some say Sharon is king
pin of them all. Quien sobe2 And then
there is Jones cleaned up So ,000, ,OOO-a
mere bagatelle. Can't he do the grand
in Washington with his fair young bride
and " that little dab ?" Nearly all the
insiders got terribly bitten few days
ago some who could have cleaned up
from $4,000 to $4,000, now have not
enough to jingle on tombstone.
Ill; l..
lecturing tour. But people do not like
lectures unless they are spiced with lit
tie of the Beecher-Tilton inf iction, or
Mrs. Stenhouse's experience of the Nor
mon inner life. She has been there and
ought to know, but she didn't like play
ing second fiddle to old Brigham. While
Miss Sallie was here she went and did the
Crown Point mine and she seemed to like
going down on the cage with a strong
arm round her; said it was a delicious
place to court and hirt in. She expatiat-
ed muchly on the noble forms of the half
nude miners and thought they would be
splendid models for n Greek sculptor.
We'll, dear little lady, we can't blame
her for we are nearly as bad ourselves.
| wish you could be here to see our good,
old fashioned snow-storms. AS soon as
the snow is deep enough the sleighs come
irto requisition and don't they go it-only
$40 per hour-from the fancy bon ton
cutter with numberless bells down to q
thing improvised for the occasion out of
few rough boards and brace of cow
bells. Then comes the shoveling of snow
from the houses, leaving n miniature
ridge Of mountains on each side of the
street. When a thaw comes, the snow
is anything but "beautiful ;" it is "the
mud, the mud, the horrible mud" then
Ruts in the street that would shame the
Trinity Mountain road. Eating break
fast in restaurant the other morning,
looked out just as the Dayton stage got
into one of the ruts, and away went a
passenger from the back seat, over the
drivers head and stuck head first in a
snow bank on the side of the street. We
have had avalanches here that have de.
molished houses and left some dead in
their wake. So you see, like n pawnbro-
ker's shop, we have little of everything.

ANOTHER DIsCovERY.-A ledge of
re-bearing rock has been discovered near
the Bush Ranch, twelve miles from Hy-
ampome. Many opinions have been
given as to what kind Of ore the rock
contains-it being variously claimed as
lead, tin and silver. Whatever it is, it is
Immensely rich. As yet, none of the
rock has been brought to town, and no
tests made. BY another issue we hope
to report the discovery within our county
limits Of rival Comstock.

DWELLING BURNED. Shortly after 8
O'Clock on Sunday evening, the dwelling
house of NJ. Catalan, on Mill street,
Faggtown, was discovered to be on fire
and an alarm sounded, but before people
reached the locality the entire building
was in flames and the fire so far advanced
that it could not be extinguished. No
one was in the house at the time, Mrs.
Catalan and family being absent, and
although the origin of the fire is not GER
tainly known, it is generally conceded to
been caused from defective stove-pipe.
The building and contents were totally
destroyed. Fortunately no wind was
blowing at the time of the fire, or neigh
boring houses might also have been
consumed.
