To THE EDITOR OF The SUS-Sir: A
short time ago you published an epitome Of Or.
Frederick II. Marvin's lecture before the Liberal
Club, In which lac says " The whole surface Of
our globe has been dug over l2s times 10 bury
the dead, even not reckoning the long age OF
the world which Is given 1t by modern science;
and we inhale and feed upon the olemeu tho
very atoms that have been living human beings
before"
His statements as TO chemical changes are
DOUBTLESS true. Figures will enable us To form an
approximately correct judgment as TO the truth
Il the assertion that the whole globe has been
dug over rs times 10 bury the dead. Allowing
o,"O years since Adam, and ga wears 60 gene
ration, the whole ppiulntlon has changed 2uJ

Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-01-29

LONG HING came to US yesterday wiki
the complaint that Nails, colored man,
mad BEEN killing and bringing to market
a great numbsr CT quails. This, If Mr..
Nails only knew it. is a misdemsanor
punishable by fine or imprisonment or
both. Indeed we are not the person to
whom to bring any complaints. /! any
sportsmen know Of any bOdy's killing
uuails anywhere in this state let them
90 before L magistrate and make com
plant. there. IN due form. That the
wav to do business and not stand round
ike old hirg does and curse Nails for
pUt-huntiug cullud pu.sou. It IS against
the law to Kill quail in this State at any
time Of ,he wear. The law gives them a
special protection. Have the pot hunt
ers arrestsd-that the best way.
CoMsTocK STATTsT-Cs.-Ihe Chronicle
informs Us that Mr.. Raymond, United
States Commissioner on Mining Stats
tics, having engaged Frank +. Osbiston
to furnish him report on the mines OF
the Constock range, tie latter has dele
gated S. Y. Mooney to visit the superln-
tsndents of the mines in this vicinity for
the purpose of collecting the data re-
CURED for the intended report. Mr.
MONEYS intelligence and familiarity
with the mines hersabout we'll qualify
him for this important duty, and every
facility will doubtless be furnished that
may enable him to make his report com
plets."
VIZ OVERHEARD the sweet and tender
music of - Coronation as We passed
the Sierra Seminary last evening. Some
devout people were holding a prayer
meeting there. There is a good deal of
a quoting, soothing influence in these
gatherings and the prayers and songs OF
praise there said and sung.
The PUPILS of Doctor kingsburys
Bookkeeping Academy had a reunion
last night. It was doubtless very
pleasant affair.
