Easter Sunday.

Tomorrow will be Easter Sunday,
the feast of the Christian passover.
The English. name is supposed to be
derived from that of Ostera or Eoestra,
the Teutonie goddess of Spring, whose
festival occurred about the same time
as the celebration of Easter. Early
Christians who believed the Christian
passover to be commemoration of
Christ's death, adhered to the custom
of holding the Easter festivity on the
day prescribed for Hebrew pasch, the
nth day Of the first month, that is, the
lunar month OF which the l4th day
either falls On or newt follows the day of
the Vernal Equinox. Most Of the Chris
tian Churches, attaching greatest i'm
portance to- the day of Christ resurrec-
tion, held to Casters being celebrated
on the Sunday which followed the l4th
day Of the moon Of March, the day ON
which Christ suffered At the council

adopted which makes Easter to, be

GHOULISM.

Ed. SILVER STATE: The utter de-
pravity and rapacity OF the human
heart was never before so forcibly and
strikingly illustrated as in the conduct
of several candidates who aspire to the
Clerkship of this county. For some
time past the present Clerk has been
rapidly approaching his grave, from all
appearances and symptoms, and his
death has been looked for almost daily.
No sooner was this state of the case
known than some aspirants began at
once to intrigue for his place. All such
desire the everlasting contempt of all
decent men, and they should bespurned
by the public and driven from the com
munity as moral monstrosities. In case
that the sad necessity arises; and a
Clerk is to be appointed, and these
shameful ghouls should put in their
pestilential appearance, their names
should be given to the public, even if
by so doing they get ticket of leave
from COL OBSERVER.

COUNTY FINANCES.
The Floating Indebtedness Slightly In
creased In the Past Year.


The report of the Co,4nty Auditor for
the quarter year ending April 4th, 1881,
is printed in another column. 1t shows
the total amount of outstanding war
| rants at shat date to have been Sal, :
075 80, IN apparent increase of a.
979 IS since April 9Th, 1850, when the
outstanding warrants, according to the
Auditors report of that date, amounted
to $36,0l7 - In April, 1850, the
Auditors report showed that the funds
in the County Treasurer amounted to
SI1, 794 ~, of which SO, 932 Is was Gp-
plicable for the redemption Of warrants,
making the actual floating debt $32, :
1863 Al. At date of the present report,
there was Sl6,S3 3G4 IN the County
Treasury, of which Sc, sol 50 was APP
plicable for the redemption of warrants,
making the actual floating indebted
ness S34,5l3 70, or $3.50 81 more
than it was year ago. In April, 1850,
the Board of Commissioners allowed
bills aggregating Sc, 1853 81, making the
debt, at the close of the session of the
Board, $3S, 9l7 81. The Commission
ers. at the last meeting of the Board,
allowed bills to the amount of &c.
1872 80, of which SO, 500 was for salaries
of county officers, making the total
debt, at the close of the session of the
Board, $40, COG IS. In April, 1879,
the debt, including the bills allowed by
the Board at the April term, was S40,-
10, or about 1896 less than at the
present time. There was consider
able falling off in the receipts of the
county, from taxes on personal prop
erty III 1850, as compared with 1879,
which partly accounts for the increase
of the debt. The low rate of taxation
this year-s2 so on the Sl00-will have
a tendency to keep stock in the county
until after they are assessed, as the
rate is higher in Lander and Elko
counties, and in Grant coanty, Oregon,
than it is in Humboldt. Cattle own
ers, whose property two years ago was
assessed at over so, 900, did not have a
hoof in the county year ago, and their
names do not appear on the assessment
roll for that year.

Suicide at Tnscarora,

Mrs. Minnie York, wife of Carl York,
the well known musician and cornet
player, committed suicide at Tuscarora
few days ago by taking fatal dose Of
morphine. The Times-Review says she
lost suit involving the possession of
the Crystal Peak Brewery Depot, and
was dispossessed by the officers. That
evening she went over to the Justices
office and laid down on the floor. Her
actions were such that it was supposed
she was badly under the influence OF
liquor. She aroused the neighborhood
with her shrieks and cries, and acted as
if she was perfectly demented. Her
condition was SO pitiful that Mr.. and
Mrs. w. Wilde charitably permitted
her to be taken to- their residence,
where she was placed in bed and rem
dered as comfortable as possible. A
short time after her arrival at Mr..
Wilde's she became unconscious, and DR..
Springsleen being sent for, pronounced
it case of poisoning by morphine. Ev-
cry effort was made to bring about her
recovery, but the deadly drug had pro-
crossed too far in its work.

A good story is told of well known
divine Of New York now dead. One day
he picked out cheap hat in store,
and the clerk when he named the price,
said
"But that isn't good enough for you
to wear, Doctor. Here is what you
want, and I'll make you present of it
if you'll wear it and tell your friends
whose store it came from"
"Thank you-thank you," said the
doctor, mis- eyes cleaning with pleasure
at raising castor so cheaply. How
much may this beaver be worth Y'
"We sell this kind of hat for eight
dollars.''
"And the other ?''
Three"
The man of sermons put On the beav-
er, looked in the glass, then at the three
dollar hat.
81 think, SIR" said he, taking off the
beaver, and holding it in one hand, as
he donned the cheap "tile,' 81 think,
sir, that this hat will answer my pur-
pose full as we'll as the best"
' But you had better take the best one,
sir, it costs you no more"
B-u-t-b-u-t," replied the parson,
hesitatingly, 81 didn't know-but-per-
haps-you would as lief 1 would take
the cheap one, and leave the other--and
