were thirty and odd dollars in the
pot. Curly" drew his man, and
Jones drew six shooter. Jones
said that "Curly" had six cards, and

FEMININE INEBRtETY.-Mrs. Dona.

hue WAS in her cups night before
last. or more properly, perhaps, had
a good many cups in her. She was
abroad on the streets at 10 o'clock,
and said and did many things that
abe would not do in her sober mo-
ments. Mrs. Donahue has an un-
controllable penchant tor spirits, and
often makes quite fool of herself.
Night before last was one OF those
occasions.

SUDDEN DEArH.-In our last issue
we mentioned the dangerous ILL
ness of Mr.. z. R,ussin. His friends
and those who had remained ut his
bedside through the day previous
expressed the fear that he would not
survive through the night. We
echoed that fear, and it proved to be
well grounded. At 4 o'clock on
Tuesday morning the afflicted man
died. Mr.. Roussin was born in
Washington County, Missouri. and
wac about thirty-five years old. He
had good school education, and was
once engaged TO write for paper in
Placerville, California. He was for
u long time resident of Ell Dorado
County, where brother and sister
now reside. His remains were for
warded to them last evening. Mr..
Roussin had many friends in this
community, and had few DAYS be-
fore his death been reelected Presi-
dent of the Miners Union. Had he
survived, it was the intention to run
him on the Democratic ticket for
Sheriff. The disease which ended
his life was pneumonia. He was sick
with it scarcely week. 1t was
induced by exposure while at work
in the Justice mine. The remedies
applied had taken good effect and
the patient was impr wing up to
Monday, when in Il IN ment of i'm
prudence he left his room, and by
additional exposure brought ON a
relapse. His family, we are in.
formed, manifested predisposit'on
to pulmonary disease, and himself
was not exempt from the general
tendency. The funeral was largely
attended yesterday by the order of
Masons and by the Miners Union.
The remains were accompanied to
Gold Hill depot. Several buggies
and carriages also followed them.
Deceased had cousin, Daniel
Roussin. millright, who lives in
Gold Hill.

Distribution RELIEVED. A few
days ago it became noised about that
Il family, consisting OF mother and
several children. the nominal head
o. which had some days previously
departed for scenes unknown to
those left behind. were in need of
the very necessaries of life. The
rumor had not spread far when it
fell upon the ears Of a generous soul,
who at once set on foot an inquiry
into the facts. They were found to
be as reported, and subscription
paper was at once started. 1t had
not proceeded far before enough aid
had been secured to warrant the
sending of a load Of provisions to the
needy household. The gratitude of
the stricken woman on receipt of
the donation can we'll be imagined.
Pride and humiliation had tor some
time been battling in her bosom as
to which wouid come uppermost,
and the struggle had not ended, nor
had she felt the pangs of want yet
keenly enough to make her actual
condition known. What thinks the
reader of him who deserted her aud
her babes, To revel, mayhap, il the

puzzling. And it is difficult some
times To guess at the design the
Almighty had in creating some men
and the spNere they were intended

shade to this gloomy case, the
woman is in that interesting condi-
ton IN which, according to Burns,

Our INDECENT SICK.-We were in

terday that the Commissioners of
Storey county have notified the
Lyon county Board that the hospital
is full, and that the Lyon county pa
tients must be removed. There are
bat three or four INDECENT sick from
this county, and they will he pro-
vided with rooms and treatment at
some private institution. Mr.. Shaw
thought that the hospital recently
built by the Sisters of Charity might
he an available place in which to
domicile them. These patients are
cared for in Storey county at much
less expense than would attend their
care and treatment in hospital of
our own.

ENCOURAGING
REPORTS.

| ENCOURAGING REPORTS. - We
hear that the water in the Carson
river is now at very low stage, aud
that o number of the mills thereon
situated will be obliged to shut down
in short time in consequence.
Some of those mills are provided
with steam machinery, and these
will perhaps fire up and keep right
at work when the water is INSULT
Gent to turn the. turbines. This in
formation does not reach us in q
way to carry indisputable anthem
ITCHY, but the probabilities are all
on the side Of its truth. Coupled
with it came the news that the KEEL
sey mill would soon be be put in OPP
Grafton in the room of one of the
river mills whose stamps were to be
hung up. 1t is also saiu that the mill
working Belcher ore will be among
the first to hush the clatter of its
noisy business. 1t is now the time
of year for the water in the river to
he so low rs not to carry in its tur-
gid volume enough power to do the
work carried ON in Spring and Mid
summer on its banks. Hence we
may expect, AS uncertain y foreshad-
owed in the foregoing, that our own
quartz hills. whose prolonged ST.
lence has now become somewhat
monot, nous, will soon emit the reg
ular exhaust puff and burden the
air with the noisy i roar of their
stamps. Then will have arrived the
busy days, the gladdest of the year.

The Sheep Business in North.
ern Colorado.

The Ohio Farmer of July l2th has
the following interesting letter from a
correspondent in Colorado:
EDS. FARMER The sheep husband
~ Of Colorado Is one of the leading and
most profitable branches of her wealth.
II Is becoming so much so that many
Of the cattle men In this section have
gone with their herds into Wyoming
Territory to seek better ranges. Every
little stream Of water leading from the
mountains out upon the prairies Is dot.
ted with corrals and sheds, and every
spring OF water that will furnish waite
enough for sheep has been taken up.
To make the sheep business pay nlal
must have q wide range. One thousand
sheep ought to have a range of four or
i've miles square. From 1000 TO 5000
Is enough for any herder, and two sucn
fioeks Is all that ID profitable to corral
at ono point. You see 1t requires a
vast territory for a man with 10000 OF
1900 sheep. He must have his branch

with $4,000 sheep thinks the country

increase rapidly-generally from go "a

The first lots sold brought twenty tt
twenty-five for good grade. This is In
the dirt, and these prairie winds blow
sand and dust into the wool In small
quantities. This is the reason Western
wool commands 80 low figure. A
man with good range can we'll afford
to grow wool mt ten cents per pound
and clear fifteen per cent, upon his
flock beyond all costs, as they require
but little hay in winter, none unless
deep SHOWS cover the grass. The great.
est general drawback | see of late tc
the sheep Is the scab. They are healthy
and free flom all other diseases. The
past two years dipping has been quite
an item. Tobacco Is used mostly, and
some few are trying the hemlock which
has been lately introduced here.
The foot rot was never known here
in this dry climate. They usually
shear early. This year they commenc.
ed April 18th, which Is good time Il
provided with good sheds, but If not II
is too early-as snow storms and cold
rains are frequent early In May.
Thisyear many heavy losses occurred
by having sheep that had been lately
shorn out upon the prairles In cold rain
and hail storms as late as the 22d oil
May. They become uncomfortable and
run before the storm In spite of the eff.
forts of the herders to stop them. They
run till exhausted, then drop and per.

In Wyoming Territory 1 saw one
fine flock of 3400 reduced to 1850 in
twentyiour hours. The 1850 lay scat
tering on their trail for ten miles across
the prairie. And another flock of 1000
to 900. and many small flocks suffered
in The same proportion. But this was
an unusual storm, and many Of the
losses are caused by neglect of owners
or breeders in not keeping them in the
corrsls aud sheds while the storm pass

Does Farming Pay.

This oft-repeated question Is best an
swered by reference to the success Of
individual farmers, most excellent ex-
amples being found in nearly every
neighborhood in the United States.
The following is one;
Thirteen years ago, Robert Digby, q
native of Cambridgeshire, England,
came into Wood Co., Ohio, and took n
farm on shares of Mr.. Jerome, who
then lived at Weston, his only capital
being clear head and resolute energy
Of character. After working on the
Jerome farm, he bought 80 ncres of
land for $780, and within two years he
sold it for $3.50, thus clearing on his
first venture $3.50 besides obtaining a
living for himself and family Off it,
He then bought of Geo. Warner. a
farm of 053 acres at S62 per acre, paying
$4,000 down and having four years to
pay the balance. Within two years he
paid the whole amount besides support
ing his family from the proceeds of the
arm. About two years since he bought
i2 acres more of Mr.. Z. Warner for
which he paid $50 per acre. and one
year ago last spring he bought As! acres
more at 500 per acre, the cost Of which,
s2025, he paid from the crops raised on
it last year. OF last years crop, Mr..
Digby has sold Mr. S. w. Whltmore of
Tontogany. 1000 bushels of wheat, be-
,ides oats, potatoes and other surplus
products of the farm, besides feeding
his hogs. cattle, and four horses and q
colt. and supplying the wants Of a fam
lily of ten persons. Mr.. d. states that
he raised SO acres of corn, and after de-
ductng the supplies stated, his sales
averaged 30 bushels per acre. Such re-
suits have been accomplished by the
use of the very best farm implements
that he could obtain. and the assistance
of his three boys and little help when
threshing. The sum of the whole mat
ter is just this; Thirteen years ago
Mr.. d. started by farming on shares.
without capital. He now owns 172a
acres of land which he would not sell
for 500 per acre. His farms are well
stocked. and he is out of debt. All
these results. under Providence. have
been produced by honest labor on rich
soil of Wood county. If any one can
make better showing we would like
to hear from him t Perrysburg Grang.
