We were in error in supposing
that the genuine Washoe zephyr
was only to be seen and felt in
Gold Canyon. You might as we'll
compare the first breath of baby
mosquito to the laundering OF an
African cyclone as to mention Sill
yer City's gentle breezes on the
same day with the wild hurricanes
of Dayton and Sutro. When the
wind blows you can't hold down
that Dayton sand bank with real
estate mortgage.

An UPSET AT DAYTON AND SEW
ERAL PERSONS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
those seemingly. unavoidable acct
dents which are continually placing
life in jeopardy, occurred to Silver
City party at Dayton, yesterday. A
party of six Frenchmen and two Vir-
ginia City attorneys-Mr. Willis and
Mr.. Love were driving in Mr..
Angels spring wagon into Dayton
to attend court. Just MS they were
about to stop the team, the small bolt
which secures the whiffletree broke
and let the timber against the heels of
the off horse. The team at once be-
came frightened and commenced to
kick and run, and finally upset the
wagon. The entire party were
throw violently to the ground, and
three Of them quite seriously injured.
Nr. Love received a severe cut across
the nose, and several hard bruises
about the left thigh. Mr.. Willis is
badly hurt about the hips and back,
and remained in Dayton unable to
hear the ride to town, while Gilbert
Aubin, the driver, landed under the
wagon and was pretty thoroughly
iammed before being extricated. No
bones are reported as having been
broken, and it is not thought that any
of the wounds will prove fatal, al
though it is wonder that some one
was not killed outright. Neither the
horses or wagon were badly injured,
but the seats of the latter got some,
what mashed by the upset, and one
of the horses has few slight
scratches. The gentlemen were en-
tirely sober, and the accident oc-
CURED as we have stated, without
blame to anyone. We congratulate
the boys on their fortunate escape,
and hope to see them come cut all
right in few days. Since writing
the above we have ascertained the
names of the passengers on the
wagon, as follows: A. G. GAIA, G..
Leblanc, A. II. GAIA, N. GAIA, Gill
bert Aubin, G. Lawson, A. II. Willis,
w. q. Love.

AT Hrs PosT.-Mr. William Glib
bons, lately promoted by Messrs.
Mackey & Fair from the superinten-
dency of the Devils Gate mill to
that of the Brunswick, took charge
on Saturday, and is now at his new
and important post. The Brunswick
is a 6O-stamp mill, one of the best in
Nevada, and the appointment of Mr..
Gibbons is very high compliment
to his ability az mill man and his
trustworthiness as private citizen
and "Billy" is one than whom no
other man in the State more richly
deserves it. 1t will be some days
yet before he is properly situated to
have his sister, Miss Mamie, join him
in his new home, which she will
eventually do. Miss Gibbons,
although resident here but a short
time, has endeared herself to o large
circle of friends who will very
much regret the necessity of her
departure from the city. even
though the distance is but q two
hours ride. And its just the same
with our friend William. If it
was not that the position is an i'm
portant and honorable one to which
he has been assigned, we could
most heartily wish him forever one
of the good people of Silver, Come
mp often Billy" and bring your
knittin'.

THE CHURCH LOT DoNATED.-It
is with feeling of pride for our for
mer fellow-citizens that we state that
DR.. Samuel F. Chaplin, and his
nephew, Mr.. Charles A. Chaplin, now
Of San Francisco, have donated the
best lot that could have been chosen
in town as site for the new Episco-
pal church. The lot corners on Gay
and Third streets, is fifty by sixty-fivc
feet and admirably adapted to the
use for which it has been dedicated.
The location could not be better, and
the clear gift of so eligible site by
the Messrs. Chaplin is an act that re-
fleets much credit upon them. Tho
church enterprise IS now fixed fact,
and to the energetic work of Mr..
Jenvey, our pastor, Bishop Whitta-
ker, the liberal donations Of our cit
liens and those Of Virginia, are We
indebted. We shall soon lie able tn
chronicle the completion and furnish
ing Of the church, and know that
when 1t is completed no one will
have cause to regret that they have
contrlDuted to so worthy an object.

THE "DIAMoND RING" AGAIN. =
Since the outrage committed on
the handsome show windows of
Mr.. Fredericks. jeweler of Virginia
City. and the severe punishment OF
the offender, we had supposed that
the knights of the diamond ring
would be careful. 1t appears,
however, that some of the frater-
nifty have emigrated to Silver City.
~ the door and window panes of
the Oasis Saloon were cut and dis
figured on Saturday night, either
with malicious intent or to effect
an entrance. If the latter, the
would-be burglar was frightened
away before he could get on the
inside. These gentry will have
our sympathy if they are caught at
their tricks some night and hung
to the awning posts, but for no less
. punishment.

"THAr "CowARDLY ASSAULT. =
The Sutro Independent" of last
Saturday contained very abusive
and totally unjust attack on Mr..
Isaac Leversee, County Coroner, of
Dayton. After saying that "the
details of the case are of no partic-
ular interest to the public" the On
dependent" reporter proceeds to
accuse Mr.. Leversee of assaulting
u crippled boy about 16 years of
age, and applies the term brute, /"
"curmudgeon" and other bad cpl
thets to him, winding up by saying
that Mr.. l.. "should only be per-
mitted to look at the world from
prison bars" The article in q ues-
ton would have the public to be-
lieve that the editor had only a
passing interest in the affair. while
had he stated the full facts it woald
have put much different light
upon the affair. This he refused
to do and we will do so for him.
The "cowardly assault" was made
upon the paper carrier of the I'm
dependent. a lad by the name OF
Harris. Mr.. Leversee had pre-
viously told him not to leave the
paper any more as he did not want
it. The boy persisted in leaving it,
and on this occasion insisted in
saucy terms upon leaving the paper
against the express orders OF Mr.. l..
Mr.. L., irritated by the conversation
of the young urchin, took him by
the arm and led him from the prem
ises with the injunction not to come
again or attempt to leave the paper.
He did not strike, kick or abuse the
boy in any manner. Mr.. Leversee
had some time before stopped his adj
vertisement in the Independent, and
this want of appreciation is doubtless
the cause of the unjust remarks in
the paper. Mr.. Picot,e has lived in
this country but short time. Mr..
Leversee has been resident of Day
ton for many years and is highly
respected by his neighbors, rs man
of good character. We prefer to
believe the statement of the latter
and discredit entirely the story as
told by the Independent. We have
gained the facts presented by con-
versation with the reliable citizens
OF Dayton, and do not hesitate to
vouch for their truth. Mr.. Picotte
should be ashamed of the part he
has played, and if Mr.. Leversee will
accept Of it, make ample apology.
We hope we may not be called upon
to refer to the matter again.

THE ENRAGED TEUTON.

One muddy spring day, not hun
dred years ago, one of that unfortunate
class of men ycleped bummers, repre-
senting a st. Paul wholesale house,
found himself at Sank Centre, with the
necessity involving upon him of going
to town some twenty miles distant.
There being no railroad communication,
he was obliged to engage team to make
the trip. The roads being bad our hero,
who, by the way, is a jolly representa-
tive from ''Old harmony" in order to
reach his destination before dark, start
ed with spanking team at about two
o'clock in the afternoon, and in the
best of spirits. But alas, our Teutonic
friend was no exception to the adage
that

Gang aft aglee,
for when about half way to the end of
his journey, and with the sun just drop
ing behind the western hills, hungry
slough engulfed him, and in his attempt
to free himself, one of the wheels of the
buggy was entirely bereft of spokes.
Now his troubles had commenced in
downright earnest-but we will let him
tell the story:

HAIR WHrTENED IN A NIGHT.-The
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle of recent
date says: Father Leckner visited Ike,
Cooper, the condemned murderer, early
yesterday morning, and informed him
of the refusal of Governor Smith to grant
Executive clemency. Hooper was at
first much agitated, and trembled like
leaf shaken by the wind, but soon be-
came more composed, and during the
day seemed to have become more recon-
ciled to his fate. A remarkable fact, in
fication of the oft told story that mems
hair sometimes turns grey In single
night. When Hooper was sentenced by
Judge Pottle, last month, his hair was
perfectly black. The morning after the
sentence was imposed, Mr.. Bridges,
keeper of the jail, noticed, on entering
the condemned mans cell, that portion
of his head was perfectly white. He
Immediately asked him where he had
obtained -four to put on his head. Hoop
er was surprised, and said he knew moth
ing about it. Mr.. Bridges then went
up to him and discovered that large
part of his hair Immediately on the
crown of his head and actually changed
from deep black to snowy white
during the night. The agony of few
hours had done what years generally
accomplish.
