NOTES AND QUERIES.


and Il thousand years behind the times! No
the I'VE" of the editorial assumption but tn
we of the all inclusive general public. Lool
at this narration anent the mail service
between here and Gold Hill for example 4
citizen of that place has some important bus
mess with a gentleman in Carson. He write
:. letter referring to that business and posts i
in time for the afternoon mail train. Wha
becomes of the missivel How long a tim,
does it take for it to reach its destination
In the instance in question there was delay
III the arrival of the train which connects
with the mails that arrive at Reno from the
East and West. So the mail-car that day die
not arrive here until quite late i'll the after
noon. When it got in it brought this Gold
Hill letter. The gentleman to whom it was
directed received it the next morning about
40 hours after it was mailed at Gold Hill.
This statement indicates this fact: That in
stead of stopping here, upon its arrival, that
letter was taken to Reno, thirty miles away,
to be brought back here and delivered in our
post-ofice the next morning. 1t would
hours for it to have got into the Carson post
office if the detention, afore mentioned had
not occurred Can, or WILL any competent
person explain to us and our readers, heirs
and assigns why these things be! 1t Is abOu
eighteen miles hence to Gold Hill by rail
The down trip takes, say, an hour and a half.
What is the solid reason that such mail mat
ter as we are dealing with cannot be fetched
to the Carson pOstOtflcc upon It's arrival here!
What necessity exists for its being lugged all
the way to Reno and back! We ask these
questions of the wide universe and with no
thought of doing in Justice to any individual
or disturbing the of good feeling by find
ing fault with any one particular person,
official, railroads.&c. or otherwise, We will
bestow something handsome-in the way of
encomium-upon anybody who will answer
these questions. Yesterday was Moscow,
Trafalgar Waterloo, AppOmatOX Court
House and Bull Run all melted into one cup
of sorrow and disaster among the stockers.
One prominent fellow citizen Ill whom Is
illustrated the capacity for disgust to sustain
itself III perpendicular, barometical column
of six feet SIX, requested the Bard OF the
MORNING APPEAL to compose dlrge upon
the dreadfulness of the occasion. The true |
inspiration of great grief is tears and not
versifcation; signs and not spondees; groans |
and not iambics. The poetry of our |
mexpressible sorrow cannot be scanned -
For there is that within which passeth show
These but the trappings and the suits OF woer
And vet these are but the lamentations over
the grave of a dead and buried credit; for
who, were he able, would hesitate to possess
himself of California at 26 and load with Con.
Virginia at a like figure One sympathizes
with the laureates earlier breathings and feels
like summoning up the assurance to say to
his friend with a handy money bag
''Truxt me- Clara We're de We're"
What fate is this which hurries us on to
contemplate the unpleasant spectacle of
great. hulking idler with the air and bearing
of thief, hauled up by the iron arm of the
law to answer charge of selling strong drink
to an Indian! g One Eyed Abe" is the
man S unattractive name-hls misfortune and
his fault doing penance III company. The
Sheriff gave Cap'n Joe marked half dollar
and a bottle with marked cork. Joe took it
to the mean rum mill kept by Abe and got it
filled with bad liquor. Then the police ar
rested Abe and upon searching him, found
the tell tale coin in his pocket, And yet the
culprit demanded jury trial. Direct evil :
dence established his delinquency and he was
found guilty. Judge Witherell fined him
300 or two hundred days in jail OF course
the latter alternative was all that was left to :
him To the jail he went. We do not be =
ieve we fully sympathize with the law under
which this fellow was convicted. But we
should be repeating one of our late essays T
we're we to expatiate here upon the matter. =
Possibly we may write book or hire hall;

herewith make public, if we did know, the
PARTICULARS of the serious attray which hap
ened yesterday between James ByIne and 81 81
mother carpenter named Kaufman, over Z II
ONE domestic matters. We do not know l.
'ho is right and are quite content to leave =
he whole matter to the Courts. All that we f. f.
an say, as becomes the newsgatherer is, that y
yrne accused Kaufman of repeating or in cL
enting some evil report against his wife and Vi
nat the men got into all alteration during sc sc
hich pistol shot was fired. Nobody was u -
ounded though Kaufman armed himself '"
it'll a gun and would probably have made
