GONE HoME.--Clay Simms, of the firm
of Thacher Il Simms, of the Corner Sa-
loon, departed on yesterday mornings
train, en- route for the home of his
youth in the Buckeye State, on a visit
to his relatives. Clay has beer. on the
Pacific coast for the period of twenty
three years, and has seen his share of
the ups n downs Of life incident to
the section. He now Zoos home to
see, perhaps for the last time, his aged
mother. We have known him long
and we'll. We knew him under forty
feet of snow at Meadow Lake; in the
pogonip of White Pine, and midst the
fumes and smoke of Eureka, and have
ever known him for a good citizen,
courteous and affable to all /; and we
rejoice that he has gathered together
enough of this worlds goods to enable
him to revisit the scenes of his youth.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS kilograms
were numerous. last night, and no
matter how preposterous they might
be, somebody could be found to make
bets on the strength of them. Several
wags wrote out dispatches on the
blanks on which messages to be sent
by telegraph are written, and rushing
into a saloon and holding the paper
aloft, they were o surrounded by
gaping and expectant crowds to whom
they would read the dispatch, and the
crowd would take it all in, without
stopping to consider that genuine tele-
graph messages are written on paper
cut in a different shape and printed in
a different colored ink.
FOUND GUILTY. Frank Kern,
charged with disturbing the peace, was
tried by a jury in Justice Beatty's
Court, yesterday, and found guilty.
He was sentenced to pay a fine of one
hundred dollars, and not having that
amount of loose coin in his trousers
was committed to Jail for fifty days. in
default of payment. The sentence is a
somewhat sever one for the of1ense
committed, but is fully justified by the
fact that MIR. Kern is given to kicking
up this kind of Robbery and was i'll ur.
gent need of a salutary lesson.
- S-
DISAPPOINTED. - The election has
caused us g%rievous disappointment in
one particular. We expected it to pro-
duce a boundless crop of items in the
shape of accounts of fights, cuttings
and shootings and broken heads, but
there had not, up to late last night,
been a single fight growing out of it,
and business in Justice Beatty's Court
is as dull as if there had been a gem
eral religious revival instead of an
election. Are tho American people
depreciatihg in patriotism?
On ANIsIT.--Miss Thompson, teacher
of the Palisade public school, paid a
short visit to Eureka, arriving on
Thursday night and leaving for home
this morning. We always like to puff
a schoolmarm. especially when she
deserves it, and we can truthfully say
of this lady that she is a thorough
teacher and conducts the school at
Palisade in a nanner which is a credit
to herself and to the county.
UNsAFE.-One of the bridges which
span the Big Ditch at Bateman street,
the one on the left hand side, is unsafe.
1t is rickety and tottering and likely to
drop some lady into the ditch and dis.
arrange her stors clothes, at any mo-
ment. 1t should be fixed, and that
quickly, as a great many people cross
it daily, and somebody is liable to get
hurt if it remains in it's present condi-
ton much longer.
CHANGES AT THE JACKSON. - Judge
Doolin has resigned his position as
foreman of the Jackson mine, which
he has held for a long time with credit
to himself and satisfaction to his I'M
ployers, with whom he parts on h
most cordial terms. Superintendent
Shaw left fol San Francisco on this
mornings train, and, during his alb
sence the mine will be in charge of
George Hendricks.
ART1sTIC.-H. w. Brooks, the artist,
has about completed a portrait of Walt
Whitman, from a cut in n of the il
Illustrated papers, which, by compar-
ison with the cut, is a truthful and life
like picture. He has on his easel a
canvas 32X50 on which he has com
pleted the outlines for a picture to be
called THE Sleeping Beauty" which
promises to be, when finished, a beau
tiful picture.
