The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1875-04-26

THE San Francisco Examiner of
April 20 gives the annexed piece of
local news: Chesley street. Between
Harrison and Bryant. on Monday
night, was the scene of a terrible en-
counter between boy named Decordee
and hostler in the employ of M.
Flinn. 1t seems that they were wrest-
ling, and the boy was thrown into bed
of mortar, when he became enraged
and struck the hostler in the face. They
then clinched and both fell to the
ground. during which time Decordee's
nose was bitten off close to the fore
head. Being separated, the 10y re-
newed the attack with greater energy
than ever. when he was struck with a
pitchfork two or three times over the
head, producing two painful wounds.
No arrests, as yet. we believe, have
been made, although Decordee seems
determined to punish the hostler for
che destruction of his proboscis.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF.

To retain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from anxiety con-
cerning disease. The mind has power
ever the body. For person to think
he has disease will produce that dis
ease. This we see effected when the
mind is intensely concentrated upon
the disease of another. 1t is found in
the hospitals that surgeons and physi-
clans who make specially of certain
diseases are liable to die of it them
selves and then mental pow or is 90
great that sometimes people die of
diseases which they have only in i'm
agination. We have seen a person
sea-sick in anticipation of q voyage
before reaching the vessel. We have
known a person to die Of cancer in the
stomach, when they had no cancer or
any other mortal disease. A blind
folded man slightly pricked in the
arm has tainted and died from believ-
ing that he was bleeding to death.
Therefore well persons, to remain well
should be cheerful and happy; and
sick persons should have their atten-
tion diverted as much as possible from
themselves. 1t is BY their faith that
men are saved and it is by their faith
they die. As man thinketh SO is he.
If he wills not to die he can often live
in spite of disease and if he has little
or no attachment to life he will slip
away as easily as a child will fall
asleep. Men live by their souls and
not their bodies. Their bodies have
no life of themselves; they are only
receptacles Of life. tenements for their
souls, and the will has much to do in
continuing the physical occupancy OF
giving it up.
