Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1875-10-31

.rd in some parts of this-as night OF
,raat snort. Nuts are cracked and red
spples bobbed for" fortunes told
and in Scotland and Ireland dish called
"a Colcannon " is freely eaten. To those
Who first saw the light in . green Erin
il ia unnecessary to describe the dish; to
those who did Mt, the description would
be uuipteresting, the principal ingredi-
ent heino notatoes. This is the night
that girls walk backward down the cellar
steps, with candle in one hand and a
mirror in the other, and seeing thelr
future husbands faces over their shout
ders, shrek and faint, and so forth and
so on, At twelve tonight the brave
maiden goes out and sows the seed, and
at an earlier hour the mischievous
urchin rings the door-bell and plays
other franks. Harmless sport Is rife TO-
night, and fun end frolic the order Of
the hour.
4 PErrTIoN..-A petition to the County
Commissioners was in circulation yester-
day in Phoebe, the object of it being to
extend the time for the payment of
taxes from the 10th of November to the
18th of December, in consequence OF
money affairs being 80 tight here. 1t was
signed by our principal citizens and
men of business, but We think 1t will be
of no avail, as the County Commission
ers, however much they would wish to
comply with the petition, have no
authority to do so. The laws Of the
State say thrt the ta-es must be paid by
such time and County Commissioners
cannot 90 beyond that.
THE EXTRA. At considerable extra ex-
penss We were enabled yesterday morn
ing to give the people of Phoebe a full
and reliable account of the fire in Vir-
ginia City. Our extra, Issued at II
o. clock, contained three columns of
reading matter and detailed individual
losses with great accuracy, enabling
every one to estimate the full extent of
the immense loss sustained. The Re-
CORD, as usual furnishes the entire camp
with the latest nd detailed news printed
in readable shape. We republish it this
morning for the benefit of our outside
subscribers and the public generally.
RAYMOND & Ely IRON Works. - Work
done in the past week has been on mill
castings, water-pipe, new boilers, rail-

pumping and hosting machinery. The
pumping engine has been run steadily
at eight stroke per minute and the water
in the shaft is slowly diminishing. The
new carboliZed rubber play pipes and
MOBILES were turned on different lengths
of hose yesterday and gave entire salts
faction. Water was thrown 160 feet
through a nozzle i. inch in diameter.
AN APOLOGY WORSE THAN THE Or
TENSE. y esterday in the referee case d
witness was asked if he heard the testi
timony read of another witness, and, il
30, what he thought Of it. He saiG
he had heard it and he thought it all Q
id lie. He afterwards offered an ap
pology to the Court for the offense in
using the language he did, but he really
thought it was the d--dest pack of lies
he had ever heard.
WHITING DowN.-Pioche Hose Com
pany, No. l, and Protection Hose Com.
pany, No. 2, under the orders of Chic
Engineer Russell Scott, yesterday after
noon proceeded to wet down the various
buildings around and in Phoebe, givin
them a thorough wetting, so that in cas-
of q fire the dampness of the building
would prevent them burning easily. Thi
is very good idea. and we would lik
to see it continued until snow falls.
