get over the impression as more citified city
does. We have never seen the sinful more
cherry and bright, or the church-goers more
satisfied and content. The elder as well as
the younger brother, the pious son and the
prodigal are alike treasured. Such Is the eff
feet of broad catholicity of discourse. 1t
is humanizing, recreative, strengthening
There is a good deal of that which Is tonic
and bracing in such a breeze as the famous
plymouth preacher has caused to be blown
over us.
We forgot to say, in connection with the
subject written of the collection taken up at
the Opera House on Sunday in aid of the
Grenada sufferers, that it was not a suggestion
of our own which prompted the act of charity.
On Saturday night, after the lecture, General
Kittrell and Colonel Davies came to this Office
and proposed that very timely movement,
and it was upon their motion that it was made.
Day before yesterday Gen. Kittrell forwarded
the amount collected to one of the leading
citizens of Grenada, accompanied by letter
setting forth the circumstances of the dona
ton and expressing the sympathy of our peO
pie with the sufferers of that fever stricken
city. May our little mite prove as welcome
and efficient as its giving is spontaneous
Yesterday morning at the train we met Mr..
L, P. Dre1ler of Virginia City. Something
concerning that rogue, Malim, and his prob
able arrest causes Mr. Drexler thus to be on
the wing
The second number of The Portfolio-the
amateur printers paper-is out. Looks
pretty well; but the boys need new roller
and little more care on the part of the
pressman and more painstaking proof-reader.
They have plenty Of time to do their work
well, and if thing is worth doing at ali it is
worth doing in the best available way
AT the new Opera House the stage carpen-
tiers are at work getting things in shape.
Yesterday they rugged a counter weight to the
drop-curtain to facilitate its hosting. Mr..
Laycock let us have a look at his handsome
drop curtain Some of the effects of air and
sky and water and architecture are very fine |
indeed. Also the drapery and arabesques are
very pleasing Mr.. Cook was preparing to |
set up the iron balustsrde around the circle |
1t will be very comedy and quite an addition
to the general appearance of the auditorium.
We don't like to play raw head and bloody
bones to our little friends but for the warn
ing it may possibly give to the younger read
ers of the MORNING APPEAL, we copy as fol-
lows from The Gold Hill Neacs of Monday
evening cat 11:20 yesterday morning an
accident occurred at the switch running to
the round house of the Virginia and Truckee
railroad, Virginia, by which Michael Cough
Ian, boy of twelve years, received injuries
of which he subsequently died. 1t seems
that the lad jumped on the train at Gold Hill
to ride to Virginia, and while at the switch
mentioned and after the engines had been
turned lost his hold, fell off between the cars
and was RIM over by four of them. The
wheels of the cars passed over his left leg be-
low the knee cutting it completely off and
leaving the foot part in the boot. His right
thigh was also crushed and mangled fearfully,
hanging but by shreds of skin and flesh.
His right arm was also crushed fiat above the
elbow and left hanging but by the igaments
and particles of flesh. The boy was picked |
up and sent to the County Hospital, where he
died at 1245, recovering just sufficiently
from the shock to tell how the accident oc-
CURED. He realized his situation perfectly,
and was not afraid to die. He was anxious
to depart rather than live and be deformed
for life, and asked the doctor to take shot :
gun and kill him and put him out of his =,
misery. The deceased was the oldest son of :
a widow living in Bullion ravine, Gold Hill,
who, with some half a dozen children, was ,
left in such destitute circumstances little =
over year ago that benefit was given her
1t Miners Union Hall, Gold Hill, in July of
last year Coroner Hodges was notified in due {
time of the death of the boy and this morn O
ng summoned his witnesses and empaneled I
. jury and this evening will hold an inquest t
IN the remains! Ministers are wont to " i'm n
prove" on the death of prominent people. e
Il is certainly to be hoped that the boys of v
Gold Hill and Virginia will "improve" on
he present case and stop Jumping on the cars r.
md stealing rides. The only wonder is that Z
here are not ten of them killed to where r
here is one." We wish our little friends, o.
he boys and girls whose fathers and mothers n
subscribe to this paper, and all other little
hOva and Uirls would toll hoaH Of The drood |
