A Loaded COYOTE.

oJ -" 1 WILD O
street, yesterday afternoon. There is
nothing remarkable in this as a bare
fact; because boys pass along Clark
street every afternoon IN the week; but
this particular boy had a pet coyote in
his arms, which makes the boy re-
markable from the fact that a co vote is
a very singular animal to make a pet
Of. When the youth arrived at a point
on Clark street, between Buel and Main
streets, his pet was seized with a
spssm, and the boy dropped it with
the same celebrity that other boys usu-
ally manifest in dropping a hot horse
shoe their curiosity has impelled
them to pick up in a strange black
smith shop. In a few moments a
the PROSTATE form of the writhing
coyote, each nan Offering some sug-
gestion as TO the animals ailnent and
the proper means Of cure. One man
said the animal had only tainted; an
other, that it had a fit; another, that it
had the hysterics; and another sug-
gested that it was "leaded" by the
fumes from the furnaces, which last
found the most favor in the minds of
the crowd, and the opinion 5000 be-
came unanimous that The coyote was
" leadtd.' 1t is A circumstance
worthy of note that here in Eureka
when anything ails man or beast
whether they have the measles or the
collie, or sit down on a buzz-saw in
rapid mOtiOn-they are "leaded."
When it was thoroughly decided that
the coyote was I" loaded, suggestions
of remedies were in order:
"Throw water on him." said one
man. Water was accordingly thrown
on, to the extent of the contents of
nine buckets.
This treatment not reviving the pa
tlent, a man OF the outside of the
crowd called out To "Shove some
whisky down him." A quart of
whisky was procured and ''shoved
down" the coyote, bat the animal did
not express itself as feeling in any
name relieved, and a more vigorous
treatment was recommended.
BLEED him." called out somebody,
and bleeding was resorted to. The
operator took a bowie knife from the
back of his neck, and cut to the depth
of three or four inches into the throat
of the suffering coyote. The wound
bled freely, which was pronounced a
good sign, and the spasmodic cOntor
tons gradually grew weaker and oon
ceased entirely. Then a discOnSolate
youth picked up a dead coyote and
started Tor the hills on a funeral excur-
sion, and the crowd broke up into
groups and argued the point whether
the coyote died from being ''leaded"
or from an overdose OF doctors.

THE JEWISH NEW Wharf.-The fes-
tivsl Of the New Year was gener-
ally observed by the Hebrew resi-
dents of Eureka, yesterday, by the
closing of stores, attendance at reli-
gious Worship and abstinence from sec
ular employment. Services were held
at odd Fellows Hall during the fore
noon, which were conducted by Messrs.
Rosenthal and Banner, who, though
not regularly constituted rabbis, are
said by their co-religioniStS who were
present to have acquitted themselves
with great credit. The singing Incl
dent to the services was finely exc
cuted by a quartette choir, consisting
of one lady and three gentlemen, and
was a very pleasing feature. The Is
~raelites of Nevada celebrate but few
holidays, those which they do keep
publicly being only the most impor-
tant ones, but which they observe with
the utmost decorum, and without os-
t~entation or display.
