HERE AND THERE.

of midsummer are modified by the autumnal
temperature Of our delightful and restorative
nights2 The sun is more scorching than
melting, and sunstrokes are almost unknown,
albeit busy rancher friend Of ours com
planned the other day that he thought he had
been nearly suhstruck the day before. But
they who are sunstruck III the country do not
come to town the next day to tell of it The
affection is worse than that Still 1t is well
tu be prudent about venturing too often and
for too long a time in tae sun. We know q
man who has got something very like a " hay
fever" from exposure to the blazing rays Of
old Sol. There is good deal of glib talk
about sun spots and philosophers and corona
and all that but the fact is, the sun when
1t bllzes, unpityingly, through this July sky
upon the face of the thirsty earth and the long
stretches of sandy plain, sets us to forgetting
the technicals and taking on a liking for
sprinkling pots and umbrellas. And still
there is some Balm left in iiilead The merry
Jingle OF bells called US to the door yesterday.
The sound was as the sound Of happy sleigh
era, sleighing in the SNOW. 1t was the ice
cream man and his Jannty car. His nose
bore testimony Of the rigoT of the solar rays,
lis horse had none Of The frantic frolic Of
horse hitched to bounding cutter, but the
CONCEALED condiment was there, and magma
ton did the rest. 1t was like unto a hasty
and far off glimpse Of an oasis III a burning
desert.
We made Some mention yesterday of a
sensation caused by al irate female in pur.
suit of her absquatuiatjug husband Well,
we made some inquiries as to the out
come of the cnco2nter 1t was revealed
80 us that the pair adjusted their differences,
as some practical people will, by going to
hotel and sleeping together The calm of
mutual somnol,ncy, invited by habit, is a
great soother of domestic Jars. 1t is to he
hoped that the delinquent spouse will hold
himself to a fuller con5jancy Of marital true
inWardness in the future.
If ever Carson is burned up, qooa, it will

IA a growth of ripe tickle grass Yesterday
We saw a narrow escape from serious contia-
grafton. A yard in which has grown thick
crop of that worse than useless weed was all
ahlaze, between dwelling house and barn.
But for the ni1uble work Of some active young
gentlemen there would have been a serious
FIRE for us to chronicle. We cannot be too
careful A lighted cigar stump, match care
lassy thrown one side, a bit of live coal from
an ash heap, and devastation may come upon
US. 1t should be the purpose of all our peo'
pie to abate no effort at the right time of the |
year, that is to say in the spring, to eradicate
this noxious cereal--for among the cereals we
suppose it is to be classified 1t finds propo
CATION by its seeding and not by its root. We
may be mistaken, but we believe that, like |
wheat and barley and oats, it must be planted |
OF plant itself, year after year. Early now
ing, then, will probably extirpate it.
Mr. A. J, Tyrrell, the well known foundry
man of Virginia City, was in the city yester-
day Mr.. Tyrrell is said to be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Governor.
Should he secure that nomination 1t would be
our professional as well as personal duty to
correct an erroneous impression caused by an
sLfllCIc WHICH dppGdTGu III IIlcSc lOCdl |
some years ago, whereby we (erroneously)
made it known to the public that he had
while steering certain team of horses hitched
70 buggy or other family vehicle, caromed
on the outer walls of the Warm Springs Hotel,
and carried away the iibboom, figure head,
cutwater or other cOntrivance or adornment
Of that structure The statement though
based upon what We then regarded as reliable
and authentic information, proves to have
been Ito use mild form of expression),
Iuisapprehension. Hence this retraction. Not
only did not Mr.. Tyrrell carry away or attempt !
to carry away, or by any accident come in
collision with the said Hotel, but he and that ;
hostelrie have always been and are yet, on the ;
very best of terms We make this apology {
willingly and without force, intimidation or
undue influence as something due to man
who has rested under miscue, as it were, :
for several years of his life. Qf he wants
more elaborate apology than that let him in
innate it and we will let him write 1t himself.
