on time Bets of ten to one that there would
be no delay, received no takers. At Ave
inmates Of twelve every watch in town was
consulted by scrutinizing eyes to see the pass
ing away of 1879 At midnight or there
| abouts there was a general whoop up" all
along Carson street. Bells were rang, pistols
were discharged and thers was q shout Of
welcome for the new conner everywhere. In
| private houses the children were allowed to
sit up and witness the birth of the new
dynasty, but most of them fell asleep just in
time to miss the affair entirely. How many
lovers kept their stoves warm on the same oc-
casion the APPEAL is not informed In the
saloons the regular 'aIl hands come up was
the order of the hour and even the old vags
who loaf about the stove and are never asked
to drink by sober men, were included In the
general invitation and sent the best the house

TRR SWEARING OFF.
Hundreds of people will compile a set of
good resolutions to- day and holding their
right hand up to high heaven solemnly avow
not to touch another drop of liquor, smoke a
pipe, chew tobacco refuse to pay a news
paper carrier for twelve month Some men
will record these pledges Oh legal cap and add
the regular signs and seals, some will legalize
them before the Justice of the Peace and the
balance will write them with the finger of
forgetfuness upon the unsubstantial tablets
of their memory. In a week all hands will
return to their regular diet Of whisky and to-
bacco and the monotony Of life will not be
varied by abstinence for another year.
