The Carson Valley News Of last
Saturday gives the following particu-
lars of the land slide at Genoa, of
which We gave such authentic account
as we could o btain at the time. BE
tween 7 and O'Clock last Wednesday
morning our town was startled by
rumbling and crashing sound, which
proved TO be an enormous mass of
earth, water and timber making its
way from the mouth Of Genoa Canyon
at the south end Of town, carrying
everything before it. In few minutes
after the alarm was given half the peo-
pie in town were standing along the
margin of it's track watching the huge
mass of earth, rocks and tim Der NOV
ing towards the river. Justice Whit
ford, who resides directly in its course
was notified Of the approaching dan
ger by some Indians who heard the
noise and knew what it was, just in
time for his family to escape. Fortu-
nately, we may say providentially, a
strong board fence and some out
buildings standing above the house
changed the course Of the moving
mass of mud, which at this point was

premises were saved.
The principal losses We're sustained by
the Genoa Flume Co. Their mill frame
fortunately the machinery had been re-
moved short time ago. and about l u
miles of the fiune was carried away.
Loss estimated at $1,000. The grain
field, and meadow being cultivated by L.
Fray was covered with mud and rubbish;
other damages were comparatively small.
The slide occurred III the canyon about
3 miles above town, and consisted in the
beginning of abont : Of Al acre Of Ian :,
but the canyon being very steep 1t was
confined to narrow limits and kept nov
ing along slowly. carrying every thing
before it and becoming more limped as it
progressed, taking in OH iss way one or
two small reservoirs OF water and all |
that accumulated duairg its passage,
until finally in narrow places in the Can
yon it was over 40 feet deep as shown by |
the marks left on the side Of the noun
tam; every tree, bush and rock and the
earth down to the solid rock was carried
away. The bed of the ravine is now q
smooth solid rock from the point where
the slide started to its mouth. Logs 60
feet long were carried two or three miles.

Our Supreme Court.

EDITOR APPEAL: Permit me, through
your columns, to ask question or two.
/ wish to ask the mem ers Of the SUI
preme Court of the State Of Nevada
why it is that questions Of much i'm
portance to individuals and the pub
lie which were submitted for adjudi-
cation year or more since are yet I'M
decided; and why cases which could
easily have been decided within one
term of the Court have been held over
months beyond that time to the seri-
Gus detriment of the parties interested?
The people are getting impatient OF,
and DESTROYS to know the cause for,
their apparently unnecessary delay.

DIDN'T WHIP HIM.-The Sacramento
Record Union of may ) is responsible
for the following
A day or two ago q man considerably
under the influence of liquor hired an
expressman to take him around town in
his wagon in order that he might find
the stable in which he had left his horse,
and agreed to pay fair price for the
service. After about an hours drive the
stable was found. and the expreseman
intimated that he was ready for his
money, but the customer refused to pay.
The expressman became more urgent,
ping off his coat, Now, that's enough;
man proved himself equal to the emer-
gency. Springing to the seat of his
wagon, he secured a bedstead wrench
or key-which he keeps in his wagon for
convenience when he has furniture to
handle-and intimated that he would
defend himself. The combative indi-
vidual, in his inebriety. concluded that
the weapon was pistol, gave one shout
of "Dont shoot"' and took to his heels,
number of other persons who had wit
pursued through streets and alleys, by
messed the affair, also following and ex-
claiming, "Shoot him." Don't let him
get away Don't shoot" ETC., all of
which was doubtless soothing to the
fugitive's nerves. Finding his wind
giving out, he jumped over fence. ran
into the back door of dwelling,
frightening the lady Of the house not
little, and eventually was found con-
cealed beneath bed.

PROFESSOR JACOB ZECH, the well
known musician and piano tuner, will
be in Carson this week, FOR the pur.
pose of tuning pianos, organs, and
other musical Instruments. MIR. Zech
has shipped to Mr.. Friend one of his
latest improved pianos for which he
received letters patent dated April 4,
1876. 1t is his intention to establish
an agency here for the sale of these
pianos. Mr.. Zech's son, who is on
his way to Germany. will accompany
his father on visit to Carson and
Virginia previous to his departure for
peutchland. See advertisement OF
the Professor in relation to places
where orders for his services may be
left to secure prompt attention.
DOUBTS THE TRUTH OF IT.-The Tri-
bue local expresses his doubts about the
truth of our paragraph relative to the
Indignation of Cole Ather;on, John Nc
Tarnahan, Frank Craven and George
Eckson relative to the annoyance they
were put to on Saturday last about
bogus story of the loss of a ten-mule
team. If that aspiring young man really
doubts the truth of our statement he had
better interview any one of these gentle
men. And We would advise him to go
and see Frank Craven first. In fact.
from remarks made by Frank, we think
he was rather DESTROYS Of interviewing
the author Of "A Frightful Spectacle"
without gloves and without witnesses.

Charles Joseph Mortimer.

Saturday, March 25th, there passed from ouI
midst one of earth's brightest spirits, youth
in whom centered the hopes of loving parents
and around whom were entw ined the affection,
of many fend schoolmates and friends
Stricken with that most fatal disease, typhoid
fever, for three long weeks young Charles
Mortimer bore his suferiDgs with q patience
and courage truly heroic, ill nature, finally
exhausted in the struggle, gave back to heaven
it's precious trust.
On Monday last the funeral took place from
the residence of the bereaved father, our
highly respected fellow citizen, Paul Z. Morti-
mer, Esq. The long funeral procession, at the
head of which marched the Choir Children
(acolytes) of the Church of the Immaculate
Conception, in full uniform dress, and the
members of bis class at the Jesuits' College.
gave ample testimony of the high esteem in
which this devoted youth was held by his many
comrades and friends. Upon reaching the
Church of the Immaculate Conception the
funeral procession filed in filling the sacred
edifce. The officers of the Sodality of the
Blessed Virgin and of the Choir Children, who
acted as Pall-bearers, tenderly bore the remains
of their departed friend to the catafalque in
front of the high altar, and Solemn High
Mass of Requiem was celebrated for the repose
of his soul. The officiating clergymen were:
Father Bouige, Celebrant; Father Jouannet,
Deacon, and Father Klein, Sub-Deacon. After
the Mass Rev. II. Begly, s. j., delivered the
following eloquent and pathetic funeral ad-
dress:
Children of Mary Charley often came with
you to hear the word of God, it is he that
reads the lesson to us all to-day. Balac, King
OF Moal, calls upon prophet to curse the peo-
pie OF God. The prophet answers "I can
only speak the words that the Almighty puts
into my mouth i" and those words were "Let
my my soul die the death of the just, and my last

No. wonder that st. Paul understood this
pressing his intellect was vast enough, and
ne mad experienced so many sorrows, both his
own and the sorrows of those around him.

reversed, and therefore he forbids MS to mourn

element only. If we were obliged to judge
from the Belknap affair, we admitted that
conclusions unfavorsble to New Eugland in
general might be drawn, but we carefully
excluded such conclusions. We had and
have an abiding admiration for the Demo-
cratic element of those States. 1t has
fought Puritan corruption and greed most
gallantly, and, though struggling against
the governments money power, does not
dream of yielding the contest.
Far be it from MS to contend that virtue
is bounded by degrees of latitude Or s:,e.e.. !
by climate. We honor New England for
her energy, her courage, her enterprise, her
intelligence, for that charity, go tauntiDgly
cited by the RspwbHean, with which she
came to the aid of inundated Louisiana
and Texas.
What we meant and still mean is that
Pur;tanism in it's essence and it's elects on
society is full of covetousness and self
seeking, while it is singularly devoid of
those higher principles of generosity and
honor which elsewhere help to restrain
such tendencies from degenerating into
knavshness and crime. 1t is not New
EDglandem, but Puritanism, that we hold
for the unparalleled criminality
of Massach usetts.
