HEAVY SALr.-Some DAYS since VIC

HEAVY SALr.-Some days since we
mentioned the probability Of a heavy
sale taking place in Elko very shortly,
and such has been the case, the firm
closing out being none other than
Messrs. Russell & Bradley, and the
purchasers being Mcssrs G. & n. Cohn.
Russell & Bradley have been in bust
ness only q short time, but their fair
and honorable dealings havo made them
hosts of friends, and many of their Gus
toners will regret the sale. Senator
COIN, tho senior member and G. part
Of the new firm, is well and fayorably
known to us all, having been engaged
in business mt the same stand for sew
eral years previous to Russell & Brad
lny's purchase, as n member OF the firm
OF Bndt j. Coin. While wo regret to
see the old firm retire, we are pleased 10
learn that Gabriel Cohu is TO be tho
head Of tho new management. II.
Cohn is now trading in our midst, and
it Is useless to say anything regarding
him. Messrs. Russell & Bradley will
not elnove from the town, but will
still continue tho Wholesale and retail
grim trado and forwarding business,
md instead of losing u firm from
among us, wo gain one. They have
been solid, honest and popular, and we
have perfect confidence that G. &. n.
Cohn will step into the same shoes and
give rs general satisfaction MS their pre-
deceSsors. May Russell & Bradley and
G. & N. COIN flourish and thrive III
their present ventures.
DAMAGED.-Within the narrow limits
of ElkO county are two femalcs-ladies,
If you ~please-whose hearts have been
rent nsunder and ~eternally damaged by
the action Of a brace of noble males,
and now the former, in the "winter Of
their discomfort" have concluded to
patch up their fractured organs (making
them just rs good MS newt by effecting q
counter breach in the pockets Of the
aforesaid masculine specimens OF the
noblest work Of God. One Of them
seeking remuneration for past grievances
is Of rural extraction. and, therefore,
values her agonies Mt the moderate sum
OF $4,000; but the other, in consider
alton Of the fnct that she is q town
belle and has had many good cgtrs, has

filthy lucre, and is moro severely injured
i'll body and mind, and is not content
with less then twice that sum. Both
have filed their complaints in the Dis
trict Court, and the cases will be on the
calender OF tho next regular term.
All You young men who trife with
the affections OF tho tender sex should
take warning by tho example thus set
before You, ind instead OF mutilating
their mental and physical serenity, 60
