that the denizens of a mining town had
found religion to such ar extent as vas
observable in Pine Grove; to which
the man made answer swell,
you see, it's like this: Pine Grove
used to be a "way- up +" camp; every
thing was lively here; mone plenty:
two-bit-ante poker games running all
night every night; faro. chuck-a-lnck
aud monte and everybody prosperous;
but the mines gave out, times got hard
and the camp went down. Those of
us that are left-all but them Legisla-
tur' fellers-are flat broke, and none of
the rest of us amt got money enough
to take us out of the camp; so we've
concluded to take the long chances on
Heaven; and if we don't win, none of
us won't be a cent loser"
BANNER RAIsED.-A beautiful Til
den and Hendricks banner was raised
on Main street yesterday, being flung
across the street between Luther
Clark's saloon and Jake Cohn's store.
The banner is of what the editor Of the
Carson Appeal calls the "fsh.net vari-
ety." being composed of a netting on
which is sewn pictures of Tilden and
Hendricks, surmounted by the words,
democracy and Reform" The BAN
ner is also adorned with the device of
two American flags on crossed slaves
and divers and sundry letterings so ar
ranged that he who runs may read that
Tilden and Hendricks are the Demo-
cratic candidates for President and Vice
President in the year of our Lord, 1876.

during the afternoon, the ropes on
which it was strung having given way.
This circumstance was construed as a
bad omen for the Democracy by a jeal-
Gus Republican who has not got any
banner. Truth crushed to earth will
rise again; and this banner soon rose
up in its old place to gladden. the eyes
of the still unterriied Democracy OF
Eureka.
A DRY WATERsPoUT.-The biggest
whirlwind of the season put in Al APP
pearance IN Sunday afternoon. 1t
started at a point opposite Odd Fellows
Hall and kept up its lick for fully Ten
minutes, for which space of time an
immense column of dust, bits of paper,
steam boilers and defeated candidates
shot upward to tho skies; and when
the whirlwind subsidized the surfaces of
the clouds were covered with dust,
d%arkening the air and entirely obscur-
ing the sun. The area of the whirl
was not greater than one hundred feet
squares; but while it lasted it made
shingles and ~stovepipes rattle and
filled the houses in the vicinity with
dust. 1t attracted a large number of
of people to Main street, who from a
safe distance watched and comment
ed on its tortuous gyrations. 1t
was unanimously pronounced the
boss whirlwind of the season, and n
man veutured the opinion that it was
a sort of a dry waterspout.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS were misin-
formed about the fire bell having been
rung in wantonness, on Saturday night.
The alarm was given by our good look
ing County Surveyor, Tom. Read, and
not without good cause, for when he
grasped the bell rope the side of a
house on Bateman street was ablaze.
A timely resort to a small hose put out
the fire and saved work for the fire
companies.

Borowsky, being about to move away
from Eureka, offers for sale at a bar
