at was that the crime was Infamous, and
the accused should have been proceed

Letter from Limestone.
LIMESTONE, March %, 1873

Mr.. EDITOR: We are having some
more rough weather, eqninoctial
storms, 1 suppose, which are retard>
ing farming operations to a consid-
erable extent,
There has been a large amount Of
land sown to clover and grass in our
neighborhood this spring, and fears
are entertained that the present cold
snap will kill it as it is in very ten
der stage now. We have hopes that
the continued cold weather will keep
the fruit buds back SO we will have
plenty Of fruit this year. Probably
that is why our legislature
is SO tardy about taking ac-
ton on the temperance question
to give our stillers an opportunity to
convert our fruit, which kind Provi-
dence may bless us with, into curse.
Wake up, Brown, Grisham, Wilson,
and all You friends Of temper ance,

KNOXVILLE. TENN: FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH %,

Ella Pearson, bears her honors
gracefully of being the first child
born in Durango. The happy event
occurred on Monday, January 81,
1861. We have noticed an unusual
number of people going in the
direction of the young lady's DOM
icle for a few days past-frontiers~
men, who probably had not seen an
infant for twenty years; old miners
who would part with their last nug~
get for glimpse of the fragile bit of
humanity prominent business men,
teamsters, doctors, lawyers and
women, all wended their way to- the
new arrival. One old miner from
Silverton presented the little
curiosity with a bag Of gold dust ;
McFadden & Son gave deed for a
town lot on Second street; Mr.. Lut-
trell followed suit with a corner lot
on the Boulevard; Mr.. Greek sent
over four tons Of coal Newman,
Chestnut & Stevens made the little
ones heart glad with a dozen bottles
of soothing syrup, and John Taylor,
jr., followed with a soft hair brush,
while Griffin & Carpenter sent in a
rubber ring and box of safety pins.
Mr., and Mrs. Diamond gave the baby
their little ''cross dog" Prince, to
play with when she gets old enough.
Robertson and Rowley, as soon as
they heard the news, went to work
making baby carriage. Ed Schiller
wanted to give away his baby steam
engine, but it makes such a big rack
ct that it would keep the little one
awake, so, instead, he presented re-
ceipt for q post Office box. The Record
put her name down for a years
subscription to the daily and weekly,
gratis. Finch, of the 'Nose Paint, !"
thought his goods were too strong,
so he bought powder~box as his
offering, for face paint. DR.. Cowen,
OF the Windsor, gave box of tooth
picks that's about as much as a
bachelor knows about babies. Bald
win, the shoemaker, tried to take her
measure for pair of shoes, but his
lasts were all too small Justices
Fiagler and Craig and ex-Justice De
Mates, of Leadville, made a call in
a body, and took dispositions that
she really was the first born. Mr..
of Leadville, presented a
quilt. Myers (another old bach), of
Myers & West, brought up a pony
with side-saddle on for the young
lady to take a horseback ride.
Other and various things, too nu-
merous to mention. were offered at
the shrine Of the first born, and, take
it all in all, no other baby ever re.
ceived such rousing welcome as
this one in the GLORIOUS climate Of

unequaled in all her former history.

them forward. - =

BURNING OF A THEATRE.
Many Lives Lost by the Destruc
ton of an Opera House.


NICE, March 24-3 A. Mp to
this hour ffty-nine bodies have been
recovered from the ruins of the
italian opera house, which was de-
stroyed by fire last night. It is
feared many more persons lost their
lives. The fire commenced soon
after the curtain had risen for the
performance of Lucia De Lammer-
moor The subscribers for orchestra
stalls and boxes of the grand tier
had mostly not arrived. A majority
of the victims belong to the working
class. Shortly after the fire began
the gas exploded, and the house was
plunged in o complete dar kness.
4 scene of terror and dismay
ensued which beggars descrip~
ton. A detachment of SAIL
ors from a squadron in the
harbor arrived on the scene with
pumps and displayed great gallan-
try IN rescuing the people and COM
batting the fire, which was subdued
towards 10 o'clock. M Strokosh,
the impressario, was slightly hurt (;
Signura Bionac Donado, one of the
leading artistes, made her way froa
the stage to the street safely. One
whole family of five persons and
another family of three persons are
known to have perlshed. Relief
subscriptions for the sufferers have
been opened throughout Niece The
regatta here has been countermand~
ed, and the value of the prizes to
have been contested for will be con-
tribu ed toward the relief of the dis
tressed.
