HONESTY REWARDED.

Yesterday John Harlong from Truckee, who
has been in the city for the past few days, lost
his pocket book, containing hundred dollars
in coin and stocks to the value of thousand
dollars or more. Upon the discovery of his
loss Mr.. Harlong was greatly shocked, not
knowing but that his valuables might fall into
dishonest hands and recovery of the same
prove almost impossible. His misfortune
drove him very nearly frantic. He walked
up and down Carson street for an hour or
more accostlng many passers by with the in
quiry whether they had found his missing
treasure. All replies to his inquiries were of
most discouraging nature for a while, until
a young man by the name of William Smith,
from Empire, who had heard of Mr.. Har-
longs loss, approached and requested him to
describe the character of the property which
he claimed to have lost. Mr. Harlong was
only too well pleased to do so; upon which
Mr.. Smith drew the missing pocket-book from
his coat pocket and placed the same into the
hands of the rightful owner, he having found
the property in an clubhouse, The Joy of Mr.,
Harlong can better be imagined than de-
scribed, His delight consequent upon the
recovery of the money and papers knew no

upon honest William, which was, after sew
eral refusals, accepted The integrity of
young Smith is commendable, and we also
take great pleasure in giving publicity to cases
of disinterested honesty like this one
The fire which took place yesterday North
west of town burned considerable quantity
of wood at Mr.. John Baths place, 1t was
rumored at one time that his dwelling had
been destroyed: but later information made it
his wood pile and the dangerous scorching of
some djacent outbuildings. A lucky ending;
for there is no water near by with which to
feed fire engine. What was the cause and
what the measure of the damage, we do not
know.
