I'm the Miners HINT.

A light shone from the window of 9
hut, and swiftly they advanced toward
it. Passing through the wall of mud
and stone they found q cheerful com.
pany assembled round a glowing fire, an
old, old man and woman, with their
children and their children's children,
and another generation beyond that, all
decked out gaily in their holiday attire.
The old man, in a voice that seldom
rose above the bowling of the wind upon
the barren waste, was singing them q
Christmas song. It had been q very old
song when he was a boy, and from time
to time they all joined in the chorus
So surely as they raised their voices the
old man got quite blithe and loud, and
SO surely as they stopped his vigor sank
again.

CorToNwooD, Oct. %, 1871 noticed a
communication in your paper of last week
written at Mt. Idaho. The writer evident.
ly left out a very important paragraph con-
corning the wounded rider. A sheep man
near by having poisoned coyote several
days previous to the occurrence I am about
to narrate set it up among the sage brush
in living position. He then summoned
the wounded rider and showed him the
game. The wounded rider stealthily crawl
ed around with rifle in hand, till. getting OF
the broad side of the coyote, he let fire ans
over went the coyote, but upon examination
it was certain from the odor emanating from
the animal that that shot had taken the lif,
out of him for at least week previous.
