LosT.-Last Friday afternoon Barney
MCGOWAN, an Irishman we'll known in this
community, left his saloon and went to
Eberhardt. After staying there three or
four hours he started to return home,
since which nothing has been seen or
heard of him. A few weeks ago he started
a saloon down on the Eberhardt road,
near Major Henry's tunnel works. and
had drank a good deal. When he left
Eberhsrdt he was considerably under the
influence OF liqnor. and it is feared that
he laid down and died. Parties were out
in search for him IN Wednesday, but
did not succeed in finding him. hA
The BOARD OF PARDoNs.-By private
letter received here from a gentleman in
Carson we learn that the case of Alexan-
der Cohn, the Hamilton incendiary, came
up for consideration on the Oath of May
before q full Board. After hearing the
petitions read to them, the Board unani-
mously rejected the applications This
is as it should be. Under no circum-
stances should so wicked a man as Cohn
have the benefit of an hours pardon,
but should be made to serve out the full
term Of his sentence, which, to say the
least, was very light, considering the cir
cumstances and enormity of his crime.
CLEAN.--There is no town in Nevada
that can compare with Hamilton in clean
and well repaired streets, and the same
may be said of it's sidewalks We have
never seen a town on the coast where the
people kept their houses, grounds and
streets more scrupulously neat and Clearly
than do the citizens of Hamilton. Per-
haps this may in a great measure account
for the extraordinary healthfulness Of the
place.
The weather the first part of the week
was perfectly horrible ; the wind blew a
perfect gale, aud it was cold and disa-
greeable generally Tuesday might lee
formed half an inch thick. Here it is
the first of June, and we need as much
fire and warm clothing as We did in the
middle of winter. Won't it never let up
and get to be warm weather? We prog
nosticate not.
GooD MILLING.--The Eberhardt mill
started up on the 9Th of May. and up to
the LIST of June had only lost seventeen
minutes in stoppages. During that time
it averaged 52A tons daily through No
so screens. Perley Rowsll sayshe would
Hike to hear from any 30-stamp mill that
has done more work.
FIREwoRKs.-We learn that the Fourth
of July Committee have sent their order
to San Francisco for splendid fireworks.
Also, that they have ordered q brass field
piece. The old style anvil has become
entirely too slow for this community in
firing salutes. x0a

tration of a public character was made
