A Five.Yesr.Old Child Four Days
and Nights ON thc Desert.
As We learn from the Elko Independent,
q little fve-year-old son Of E. J. Rossiter,
residing near Humboldt Wells, wandered
off and was lost for four days and nights
on the desert. The particulars are given
As follows: The parents had gone to a
wood ranch from which the father was
hauling. some twelve miles east of town,
taking the boy with them. About one
O'Clock on Monday last the little fellow
wandered out Of sight, and being missed
about fifteen minutes later, search was
made, but without result. The parents
were now thoroughly alarmed, and half
distracted, continued the search, finding
his trail the following morning, which was
pursued O distance Of ten miles, where it
found he had lain down. From there
his track was followed to the foothills Of
Independence mountains, when striking a
gravelly ridge, it was lost, and q long time
was consumed before it was again found.
News Of the facts having reached town,
q large party Of citizens Joined in the
search, and it was discovered that the child
had crossed the railroad track, and turn
ing had gone back, but diverging from the
previous line OF travel. Still following his
trail, it led the anxious party over a range
Of hills and up . narrow valley about
twelve miles further, when the little fell
low was found, and, wonderful to relate,
not only alive but apparently without hav-
ing seriously suffered. That a child un-
der five years Of age could have survived
four days in those hot, dry desert hills,
without food or water, is incredible, but
that such are the facts appears undeniable.

About . month since Drs. Owen and
Chamblin were appointed . committee to
examine into the sanity Of one v. Leverich.
or. in legal parlance, to ascertain whether
be was . lunatic. After q careful examin-
alton, they arrived at the conclusion that
he was insane, and 81 reported, upon
which he was sent to Stockton. Yesterday
morning Judge Cole was the recipient of a
letter from Lcverich (who will be remem-
bered by our citizens as the /" sun wor-
shiper) asking him to send whatever
amount Of money there was belonging to
him, evidently assuming that Judge Cole
had taken upon himself the care Of his es-
tate. He desires the money to be sent to
Volney Leverich, Prescott House, San
Francisco. Now, some one has blundered,
and knowing the reputation Of the physi-
clans here who passed upon the question Of
his sanity, we unhesitatingly cay
that the blunder is not here. Stock
ton may be Cver-crowded. and the
managers Of the institution DESTROYS Of
cleaning it out, but we seriously object to
turning loose upon the community SO dan
gerous . lunatic as Leverich. He enter
tains the notion that Judge Cole has in his
possession money belonging TO him. Sup
pose Judge Cole does not send him the
money which he claims, and which Judge
Cole has not, what is there to prevent this
man who claims to be the son Of the
prince Of Peace" from putting in an APP
pearance and enforcing his demand in such
. name as TO shake the belief of the
Stockton authorities as to the propriety Of
releasing . mar who is undoubtedly o lu-
matte, and . dangerous one at that.

Calls N Calls.

A San Francisco exchange publishes the
following: THE orthodox method Of
transferring q preacher from one place,
where no earns an easy living, to some
place where he may earn an easier living,
ia to give him ga call" 1t is not necessary
always hat the call should be heard by the
whole town, or ever the congregation. In
fact, numerous examples may be cited Of
eminent divines getting up and skipping
with alacrity-and q small valise-at the
sound of a still, small voice, audible only
to themselves. While such acuteness Of
hearing should never be considered against
q man, and we might say never is, still it is
not generally considered as the best evil
dence of pure apostolic faith. 1t might
tend to unfit him for many positions,
where the popularity would be sure to
embroil him, and, perhaps make the lives
Of others unpleasant. Many clergymen
receive repeated and earnest calls, from
butchers, bakers, tailors and other trades
men, but as a rule the reverend gentle
men discourage such attention from those
outside the pale Of their profession. An
instance is on record Of q well-known
clergyman having received a mysterious
call for more mud" do you take me

righteous indignation necessary to crush
the laundering caller. These remarks
would be highly impertinent did we not
recently notice in the papers frequent al
lusions to ~clergymen receiving and ac-
cepting calls. Such careless phraseology
is likely to do much injury by creating the
impression that the reverend gentlemen
have become regular subscribers to o daily
morning paper-an offense which, Heaven
be thanked, is not among their many sins
of commission"

THE OTHER SIDE.
Reasons why h Court-house
Ought to be Built Now.

ought to be Built Now.
EuREKA, New, July 20, 1878.
EDrron SENTINEL: While SO much is
being said agai the building Of the
Courthouse by those opposed to it, 1 think
the other side ought to say something in
favor it. / hav watched the much-vexed
question closely and have arrived at the
conclusion that the principal objection Of
the opposition II. that they cannot get in
side the ring Il at they are afraid is going
to be formed. Vow, most persons will adj
NIT that in the erection of public buildings
all over the country, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. there is more or less w~ire-pull-
ing, or, "You scratch my back and I'll
scratch yours" and we must expect a lit lie
Of that same thing ever in Eureka.
At the present time, the Com
missioners are divided against each
other, consequently are inclined to
watch each other closely, and will
not make a very good ring; so / take
it this is she best reason for building. Next
year we may have o Board OF Commissioners
who will be o unit in regard to the matter.
They can then form a ring to suit them
selves, steal all they wish, move the Court
house where they please tthis is what those
who presented the petition against build
ing informed us was the intention Of the
present incumbents), and not one of their
own number to say no.
Then the great cry of these want~to-be-
.in-the-ring men-to hide their real motive
is. We cannot afford it; WI have heavy
expenses in the way Of prosecutions /; and
they try to convince US by figures, and as
figures won't lie they resort to showing us
by figures what would be the case if one Of
the great mines should shut down. 1t is
a wonder those cautious individuals do
not retire from business and leave the
camp for fear the mines should shut down.
Now a word in regard to taxes. /, for one,
would prefer to pay a little more taxes and
a little less to beggars, or l should say,
to men who are willing to work if they
could get it to do, but who are forced to
beg or commit suicide to keep from starry
ing to death, as was the case with the
young man who recently turned the place
for shoeing oxen into a gallows. Again,
let us look at the matter in a %pecuniary
point of view. Will not a large percentage
Of the money come back to our own pock-
cts? The laboring man who earns from
81 to SO per day has more money to ex-
change for n-ecessaries, and even If the
contractor does clear e large sum, he will
circulate it here 30 that every taxpayer
will, l think, be benefited either directly
or indirectly. TAXPAYER.

The following items arefrom yesterdays
Neecs:
WATER SPour.-Last Sunday evening,
while it was lightning quite heavily and
threatening a storm at this place, rain fell
in torrents at Eberhardt and on the sur
rounding mountains, and the water rushed
furiously down the canyons and for a time
threatened the town. Four or five feet of
water stood in the roads and other low
places, but fortunately no damage was
done. The storm extended south of the
old Phoebe road, and at the Six-mile house
we learn that evidences of its great fury
are felt in the huge boulders that have been
p~recipitated Town the mountain sides. 1t
is probable that q cloud-burst occurred
some distance south of Eberhardt. At Ham
ilton it barely sprinkled.
RopINsoN.-We are informed that this old
mining district, which has been under o
cloud for several years, Is again showing
signs Of vitality. Some thirty miners are
at work in the district, and several of the
mines are showing up rich ores. The peo-
pie Of Robinson think a small outlay Of
capital would place their district in the
ranks of the most favored bullion produc-
ing districts in Eastern Nevada.
BETTER ACCEPT Ir.-We learn that
parties here have made an offer to the
King Company to sink a double-compart-
ment shaft 500 feet on the King mine, tim
Der the same the entire distance, and cut
out stations at every hundred feet; also to
lay pipe and bring in water to the furnace,
for the sum Of S25, 900. The company has
the subject under consideration.
P~ERsoHAL.-Mr. W. T. Hanford, Deputy
| State Controller, and an old resident Of
| White Pine, arrived here from Eureka last
evening. Mr.. Hanford will remain here a
few days, and then extend the trip to Ward
/ and Cherry Creek. Recreation-and may
be to feel the political pnlse-is the object
| of his visit, Mr.. H. has many warm
| friends in this section.
WILL MEET.-A meeting Of the Demo-
| cratic County Central Committee is called
| for Saturday, July 9th.
