LETTER FROM GUN RIVER.

The Dance mt Hoppin's-The McDer-
init Minstrels-snov I'm the VAL
ley-Murphy Well Cared for.
Gum RIVER, Jan. ~, 1876.
EDITOR SILVER STATE:-I promised
to write you soon after the dance at
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hopkins, but,
for reasons not necessary to explain,
failed to come to time. Suffice it to
say that it was we'll attended, and
passed off pleasantly; in short, that it
was the most brilliant affair of the
season in these parts. A new feature,
called
THE CENTENNIAL DANCE,
was introduced, and created sensa-
ton. The supper was superb; and
though I did it ample justice then, 1
cannot do so now, and will not attempt
to describe the many good things set
before that gay and happy assemblage.
THE McDERMIT MINsTRELs
gave another of their side-splittipe
entertainments last night to a well
packed house and On appreciative and
enthusiastic audience. John, the mid
dle-man," and Sambo and Bones, the
"end-men," acquitted themselves cred
itably; they make a splendid spike
team" and would pass muster among
San Francisco professionals. The
stump speech delivered by Hammond
entities him to a nomination on the
Presidential ticket. He would carry
the Post against Blaine, Grant, or any
other man, as he was unanimously
voted the greatest stump speaker Of
the day. The "Mulligan Guards" was
rendered by the troupe in splendid
style; and when the applause ceased
dancing began, aud was kept up till
a late hour. A splendid supper, with
all the delicacies of the season, was
served; all seemed to relish the viands,
and to feel glad they went to see and
hear the Ministries.
Dennis Murphy. whose leg was acct
dentally broken at Hardin's Ranch
a short time ago, is
IN THE HOSPITAL
at Camp MeDermit, under the Post
Surgeons care. He is getting along
finely, and is well cared for, and pro-
vided with everything necessary for his
care and comfort.
The Ministries will give another en-
tertainment on the 22d of February,
aud settlers from all parts of the VAL
ley will flock to the show.
The snow is eight inches deep on
the level, and everybody is sleighing.

Snow ON THE SIKRRA.-postmaster
Robins, who has been basking in the
sunshine of Southern California for
the last tive or three weeks, arrived at
home yesterday. He informs us that
the train on which he crossed the
Sierra was preceded by snow-plow.
propelled by seven locomotives. The
snow along the track on the mountains
west of Truckse is from eight to ten
feet deep; and where the track il un-
protected by snow-sheds, it il drifted
into the channels cut by the snow
plows, and blocks the track. Seventy
men, clad in rubber suits, were engaged
at one point on the road, shovsling
snow, and the company is sparing
neither pains nor expense to keep the
road open.

W1NNEMuccA. Jan. 25. '76.

EDITOR SILVER STAmE: It in not my
intention to find fault with or to criticise
the subject of this communication; but
simply, if it is in order. to ask few
questions in regard to the past and
present editors and propristors of the
Humboldt Register.
In previous number Of that sheet
card, headed Our Valedictory,"
signed by Messrs. Waldo & Julien. APP
peared. announcing to the public that
their connection with the aforesaid
journal ceased with that edition, and
mentioned the name Of G. Fl. Stod-
dard as their successor. @. H.
Stoddard in a similar card, headed
Introductory" proclaimed to the
public that he, the unsofsticated !"
Charles, would henceforth be sole editor
and proprietor of tho above named
sheet. and his name was duly place
at the head of the columns of the
Daily"
Now, if Messrs. Waldo & Julien
have stepped down and out," and
ceased all connection with the afore-
said journal, why should their names
still head the columns of. the
weekly" which sheet does not have
the least int.mation that Stoddard has
assumed sole charge?
What does this mean? IL it trickery,
or is it an oversight?
If.the same articles did not appear
in both the " Daily" and Weekly :"
one would be led to suppose they were
two distinct papers; but, AZ both are
upon the ragged edge Of despair, :"
there is no doubt in the public mind
that they are one and the same. or, to
express it more gently, links of the
same sausage.
One moro question, gentlemen, and
then / will retire from the battle field:
Why was it that this mornings Reg
lister contained an unlimited amount of
the latest specials y, and, as
am informed by the operators of both
lines here in town, none have left
their Offices for your paper? Have you
Especial line of your own. or, to come
to the point, do you clip them? If you
have special line, which is doubtful.
let me advise you to have your
specials dated, not as you have
them, dated on the day before your
issue, but on their true dates. The
same dispatches that were in the
Register this morning were in papers
received here in town a day or two
ago; again, Mr.. Register, why do You
not publish the stock board? Will the
gentlemen step forward and explain?
In the opinion of the writer it is
mere twist of the wrist. Hoping to
hear al explanation soon, l remain
yours, EpHRoN.

CHINA NEW YEAR.


China New Year was ushered in last
night with great pomp by the Celestials
of this town. All the houses were bril-
liantly illuminated with wax candles.
lanterns, etc., and the firing off of rock
cts, bombs and fire-crackers continued
until morning. Our reporter, being for
eigner from Jersey and not used to such
things, started out with the rest of tie
boys to see the sights, and, to use his
own words, had bang up time" until
they tried to make a Chlnaman of him
by learning him how to chew plug. Be-
ing poetic cuss we will let him give
his own version. as far as he got, of his

On tour of inspection TO take the events

All Tim, good heather. for two-DitS apiece
Led US through the great city, our fancies 20

And gave us a sight Of Pekin.
Such an uproar was there, such terrible
racket
Bombs bursting in air--and the devil to back
it,
Made US think Hades was on terra frma,
Seated round large table, as many as were
able,
Were several Mongolians, with hair la cable,
Making plug same as Mclean Man.
We took large chunk the size of junk
Which had the same taste as Fourth Of July

And ehawed like son of gun.

And, wanting to squirt, in the eye ball "bim"

About Women.

Nilsson has settled a handsome an.
unity on her parents in their old
age.
The Chicago Adance Is warmly
advocating the right of woman to
speak in church.
/ A Zurich printer has started a
printing Office in which the compos-
itors are all women--a great innova-
tion for Switzerland.
Mrs. M. b. Beatty announces her.
self in the Horny Is. C.l News, as an
independent candidate for common
school commissioner.
Miss Bessie T. Capen. OF Welles-
ley College, has accepted the profess
sorship of chemistry at Smith Col
lege at Northampton, Mass.
Sixteen woman suffrage meetings
have heen held throughout the coun-
try during the last two weeks, at
all of which spirit of increased
hopefulness was made evident.
Miss Ada Sweet, who runs the
Chicago Pension office, is described
as true to her name. She is never
sour to those having official business
with her, and the employees have
never heard bitter word from her
lips.
Mrs. Cameron, of Hitler, Canada,
is entitled to a place among the
brave women Of the world. A few
days ago she siezed the ring in the
nose of an Infatuated bull, while in
the act of goring and trampling her
husband, and lead the animal away
from the dying man into an adjoin-
ing field. She then carried the hus-
band into the house in her arms, but
he was dead.

Church Debts.

Brooklyn, instead Of being called
"The City Of Churches" is rapidly
earning the title of "The City Of
Church Debts" The churches are
large and numerous, but the church
debts are increasing so that they
threaten to become larger than the
churches themselves. There are
hardly any Of the churches in Brook
Ign entirely free from debt. There
are rot now over half a dozen which
are receiving income enough to pay
their running expenses. Some have
had to discharge their expensive
choirs, and some to reduce the min
ister's salary A number Of heavi-
ly-mOrtgaged church properties are
threatened with foreclosure, on ac-
count Of being in arrears with their
interest money. Some are so heavi-
ly mortgaged that an auction sale
could not by many thousands of dol
lars reimburse the mortgages. Sev-
eral of the older churches, especially
in the vicinity of the Heights and
in south Brooklyn, are seriously con-
sidering tho propriety Of CONSOLE
dating. With such condition of
financial affairs, nobody need be sur
prised at the lack of religious har-
vest in these various fields Of spirit
ual labors.

50. LOltis Times

A few years ago she married VIM.
Heptenstall, she being only seven
teen years Of age, and a comely
formed and more than ordinarily
good looking girl. Heptenstall was
a cooper, and at the same time a
drunkard and the girl soon found her.
self eking out a miserable existence
with a poor sot Of a husband. When
the hard times came on the condi-
tion Of the Heptenstalls was corres-
pOndingly worse. Only a few weeks
ago Mrs. Heptenstall called at the
Mayors Office and stated that her
child was dead, and that she had no
means by which to procure its bur-
ial. The Mayor went to the premi-
SEES shortly after to see about the bur
rial, and found the poor mother en-
gagged in keeping the rats from the
dead body of her child. Not long
after the Mayor was notified that
Heptenstall had deserted his wife,
and that she was starving to death.
The Mayor paid another visit to the
premises, and found the woman in a
most miserable condition, produced
by hunger and inattention. The
Mayor concluded to send her to the
county hospital, but on the way she
died and her sufferings were at an
end. A short distance from the
city the vehicle passed her brute of a
husband on the highway, staggering
from the effects of drink.

Greenhouse aud Window
Plants.

Whatever repairs are yet needed
must be completed at once, as sud-
sudden "cold snap" is likely to occur
at any time.
Ventilation must be watched as
soon as heat is given; during cold,
windy days open the ventilator on
the side opposite to which the wind
blows.
Fumigation once or twice a week
is necessary to keep the plants in
good health. House plants may be
smoked by placing them under box
or barrel.
Climbers need to be tied up neatly
to the rafters to look well. A few
Passion flowers and other climbers
are useful to furnish shade for ferns
and other plants.
Camelias and Azalias should have
a cool place, where their flower-buds
will develop gradually. Shower the
leaves occasionally, and if Camelias
are needed for the holidays, bring
them into heat at once.
