RUBY HILL, March rs, 1882.
ED. SENTINEL While there is q deartl
of social meetings in Eureka such is no
the case on the Hill. Besides the forma
gatherings for the sake of amusement and
pastime, the Ruby Killers get q good deal
OF social nutriment out Of other occasions,
For instance, Thursday evening after the
Union Guard drill, a h~alf-dozen kegs Of
beer and several boxes of cigars were
brought in and the boys proceeded to have
a good time. Songs were sung, stories
told, readings given and a general indul-
gence of festivities was kept up until a
late hour, when the company and their
friends went to bed happy in themselves
and at peace with all the world. The COM
pany has decided to send away for a 500
flag.
There is q sensation here which has
stirred the community considerably. A
father is reported to be diverting himself
nightly by beating his daughter.
Several people are laid up for repairs.
John Pedlar is sick at the Morgan House,
Eureka. His illness is not serious.
Richard Kissle is dangerously ill with
Inflammation Of the bowels, and grave
fears are entertained that he may not re-
cover.
Under the head Of religious notes / may
sun up the situation briefly as follows
The Rev. Ricker's health is improving.
He is on his pins again. Last Sunday
night we had a sermon by a divine gentle
man from Eureka. He greatly enjoyed
the privilege. He walked up for the sake
of the opportunity in a binding snow
storm. His audience was small, but SYM
pathetic. We are all on tip toe for the
sermon to-day week. Tie Pa'son is get
ting on well in his probation. He is
showing all the signs, everyone of
them" Tonight James Rawlings will
occupy the pulpit.
Mr.. E. Maroon, foreman of the Dun
derberg, is a man Of rare grit. He has
walked from Ruby Hill to the mine every
day this Winter, storm or no storm, a
distance of three miles. Sometimes he
would be seen on his way with his feet as
big as Stag pots, inclosed each in a dozen
potato sacks.
We are lacking the usual row in the
schools. Pedagogic muscle has softened
with the advance of Spring.
Now that the thaw has set in, and the
Oou holhC . OPCuB ItuDJ ~ NIX "a
pecting a visit from f. j. Mette. Proba-
bly, his extraordinary activity in develop
ing the Eureka Tunnel makes him tempo
rarily forgetful Of his old friends. They
congratulate themselves, however, that he
is doing important work, even if they
don't see him often.
The Union Guard election is drawing
nigh. The usual expectancy with regard
to military hOnors is manifested.
Joppa BENEFITS swears that he will pack
a "cheese knife" next year.
1t is rumored in social circles that the
long-expected wedding will shortly take
place.
Several births are expected.
Until the present session of the Grand
Jury is ended everybody on the Hill is
chilled with fear. One Of our prominent
citizens is a heavy member of that inquisi-
tive body, and he threatens to indict any
man, woman orchid that crosses his grain.
Birdie Reynolds, just come home from
Wood River, has turned honest miner, and
is now singing a pick in the Eureka Con-.
Jimmy Tickle is after a wife. As soon
as he can find "a woman in all her SPLEEN
dor" he is going for her.
There is no stir in our dramatic circles.
Those who showed so brilliantly in Miss
Chester are resting or their laurels.
Ed. Trofatter has hung up his field glass
for the next occasion.
The political situation begins to be in
teresting. A number of those who could be
induced to sacrifice themselves have come
to the front. They are paving the way to-
wards making themselves solid for the
sacrifice. But Of this in our next.
