CARD.


A rumor having been circulated by Mr. a.
IL. Norris that he had convinced mo that
there is no Devil take this occasion to
refute it most emphatically.
ISAIAH NrsBAUN.
The above card appeared in last week is
sue of the Adrocdfe. The first thing | OBJ.
serve is, that he takes this occasion to Tefule
it most emphatically.n Now fail to see his
refutationi certainly there is nothing in the
card 10 induce any one to believe that he has
any belief on the subject and Que can just as
readily be convinced from its phraseology that
he may be the devil himself ! reply. FIRST,
that the person or persons who gave Mr.. y.
such valuable information reported inc incor
reetly. Again, IL had put in circulation the
above rumor, common sense would conclude
that il was predicated upon fact. namely,
that ] had attempted to convince Mr.. N. OF
the non-existeuce of the Devil and, ac
cording To my own showing, had SO converted
him. Now the Bible says, 'Nerer casi pearl
before seine" Therefore, had ] even made
the attempt 10 convince him, ! would have
been guilty Of great disobedienee. ] would
advise him never to speak Of that OF which he
has no certain knowledge, for always in the
end, like the "boomerang, il will return,
tear off the mask, and disclose ignorance the
most abject. Then always "loOk before you
leap" II | did say anything which might be
construed b. the ignorant to reflect upon his
belief in the Devil, why am truly sorry(?l
And now state to the people of the United
States of America that Mr.. y. does bclicyein his
Satanic Majesty, and that their relationship
is so intimate that it would take microscope
of wonderful magniiying power to distinguish
one from the other. Then, Mr.. n. never al.
low any one to influence you to repudiate the
claims of your bosom friend.
a. II. NoRRIs.
n. B.-I understand that Mr.. Frank J..
Deyilbiss will have q card for publication this
week, announcing his belief in the Devil

a narrow escape from being buried alive here
on Wednesday. 1t appears he was coflined
and placed in the grave before it was discoy.
cred that he was not dead. The grave digger
had thrown three or four shoyelsful OF sand
on the coffin when he faucied he heard noise
The coffin was Immediately raised and on
being opened, It was found that the patient
was still alive lie was taken back to the
hospital lie is doing well this morning,
and will recover.
1t appears that, when the graye.dggSrs
threw on the lid of the coffin, after it had
been lowered into the grave, three shovelsiul
of sand, that the noise aroused the siumbers
of the supposed dead man and caused him 10
kick Justify against his narrow prison. The
coffin was unscrewed. The supposed corpse
sat up and exclaimed, "My God! Have had
such narrow escape?'
lie was at once lifted out of the coffin aud
an overcoat was thrown over his shoulders.

Henry Rowland, eolored, was before jus.
tice p. d. Mikesell on Saturday evening last,
charged with assault and battery on Alyerta
johnson, also colored. The testimony showed
that both Henry and Alverta were at the res.
idence OF Mrs. SQUIRREL, near the depot, in
this city, on the night previous. Henry,
thinking, no doubt, that as this was leap year
the girls should hold the boys, took scat in
Alvertas lap. Alveria did not relish this
proceeding, and according to her own testi.
mony, threatened to stick a pin in Henry.
Other witnesses said that AlyeriA stuck Henry
in the side with q pin, and Hesry testified
that Alyerta stuck pin in his eye. At all
events Henry became exasperated, either at
the threa. OF at being stuck with pin, and
either knocked or threw Alveria down. On
this point the testimony varied little, also,
Alyeria contsnding that Henry knocked her
down, and Mrs. Squirrel and Henry testify.

testimony was duly weighed Henry was fined
one dollar aud costs. which was promptly
paid, though be thought il high price for

FISH PROTECTION.
THE CLAIMS OF THE GAME FISH ADVOCATED BY
AN ANGLER.

! CARSoS, Nov. IA.
| EDITOR APPEAL: In your issue OF the 14tl
you advocate protection to game fish in a way
that every angler will appreciate. The trout
and white fish need protection just IS the
! grouse and ducks do. Only man who has
| experienced the pleasure and excitement of
| landing trout can appreciate the anxiety with
! which anglers look upon this question.
! hope that all anglers viii unite in pressing the
claims OF the fish in our Nevada streams be-
fore the Legislature. am speaking princi-
pally for the trout and white fish. As for the
| catfish, cells and suckers, they do not amount
to much, anyhow, and will not thrive in
streams fed by snow water. They must live
near a slaughter house 70 thrive, and they do
not give any pleasure to an angler who really
takes pride in casting line and fighting with
game trout II fish ladders are built at all of
the dams and giant powder and nets kept ont
OF the streams in Nevada the game fish will
take care Of itself Until the angler goes after
him in the proper season. This ought to be
from the first OF April to the irst OF No
vemser. The trout have no particular place
for spawning. Like a young hen with her
first egg, the trout spawn anywhere in the
sand or gravel. Some times the trout spawn
20 nefr the edge and the water falls before
the fry natures have often seen The young
fry crawling through the sand trying to get
at the water Of course where streams run
how in some seasons Of the year this cannot
be prevented by any LAW that ] knew Of, but
men cen be arrested who build dams across
SON 81 these dams thousands Of fish are shut
OF annually from intercourse with the lakes
and die by the ton. There is law against |
building dams without fish ladders, but none
Of the officers of the law have ever taken |
any steps to prevent it. Young fish should |
be prevented from going into irrigating |
bitches, for all that leave the rivers for the
Itch are lost Wire screens at the entrance
o the bitches will save thousands of fish. If |
his plan is enforced trout will be plentiful in
he Carson river and men will not be obliged
o go thirty or forty miles from Carson to fab.
