Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1875-10-29

The people Of Virginia feel profoundly
grateful for the many offers Of assistance
reaching them from this State and Cal
ifornia. This is of course no more than
might have been expected from the gen.
erous hearted dwellers of the Pacific
Coast. Our own people have been so
generous-have yielded the scanty room
under their remaining roofs SO gracious
ly-have dividsd their substance so
cheerfully-thst the destitute among us
scarcely feel the chill Of their scant cloth
ing and the gnawing of hunger. Yet
there is des;itution among Us which
Graves relief. and the assistance reaching
US and proEered is acceptable and well
timed. From Carson a carload Of cooked
provisions has reached US. and from
Reno, San Francisco, Sacramento and
Marysville substantial relief in money,
provisions and clothing is Offered. Some
very handsome private donations have
been made, and committees have been
appointed to disereetly distribute such

WAGSER's SERMON he has
kept dark all his life. Sam Wagner il
universally known in this region. He
possesses an. intermittent genius which
ever and anon bursts out, and for little
while blazes like an exploded kerosene
lamp. Yesterday was an inspired day
with Sam. He volunteered TO announce
that carload of provisions from Carson
was at the depot waiting fer the desti-
tute. With much difficulty bell was
procured for him and he started on his
mission. We cannot half DO justice TO
what he said, bu. will try to give taip.
idea of it. The houses did not restrict
his voice, and the full tones reverberated
from the sid. of Mount Davidson and
rolled away down the canyon to the east
like a thunder peal. A quarter Of a
mile away his words could be distinctly
understood: Hsr ye !. bar ye. Oars
a carload OF abundance at de depot. De
Lord chas.ens dem he lobeth; but don't
dar put down dis cat-as-tro-phy to any
SIGH cause. Oars oceans of provisions
at de depot for de hungry, which. like
divine grace, can be had widout money
and widout price. Don't dar complain
at dis ere calamity. Habent yer been
sinners, every one Of yer: Habent yer
gambled wild cards and wild stocks:
Habent yer lived fast and forgot de
Lord? A riber of bounty hab flowed up
from Carson, and am waiting at de de-
pot for de hungry. Yer knows how to
drink whisky, yer knows all de fast wo-
men in town, but yer don't know der
prayers yer poor old mothers beat into |
yer, and dis here judgment which am
come, am righteous judgment. and |
don't yer dar complain. The blessed |
Carson folks hab opened dar hearts and |
dar arms, and dars more grub at der |
depot dan would feed a multitude, and !
it am all free. It am all de work of de |
Lord. He scoched yer yesterday. He |
feeds yer to-day, to move yer hearts. !
Don't yer war out his patience, for de |
fire yesterday. compared to the final
scorch OBJ de sinner, amt a tallow dip |
to the uruption of der volcano. Oars |
more hash dan yer cher seed at de de- |
pot" etc.-EnterpriSe.
