Freaks OF

A day or two since q hen brought out .
brood Of chickens. and among them was
one little chick which had two perfectly
formed heads, and each with two bright
little eyes. The little chick seemed to be
as healthy and lively as the others Of the
brood. but the lady possessor of the little
youngsters, probably being prejudiced
against such unnatural productions, killed
the chicken .-Silver State.
This comes in well to introduce an item
Of similar kind in regard to the animal
kingdom Of Eureka. A puppy was born
here about two weeks ago with an extra
tail growing boldly out between its eyes.
At first its owner priced the pup for this,
which was regarded as marvelously curl
GUS, but after a while the spectacle began
10 disgust him and yesterday he cut it of.
The operation did not seem to cause the
little creature much pain; but it showed
signs Of great distress at the loss of its ex-
trsordinary f~rontpiece, and upon missing
il began TO look around for it. In twist
ing about it discovered its legitimate tail,
and. mistaking it for the other and lost
one, tried to seize it in Its mouth. 1t be-
came frantic in the mad effort, and died at
last in q fit OF uncomfortable grief.

Parsuip.Hemlock.

1t is but a few days since we had news
oil the death OF an Italian in Eureka
county, this State, caused by eating wild
parsnips." To-day we have an account OF
the poisoning of IS boys in Kentucky by
eating the deadly hemlock, while in search
of wild parsnips. 1t is not unlikely, there
fore, that what the Eureka people call the
wild parsnip'' may be in reality the same
plant as the deadly hemlock Of Kentucky.
Their effects are very similar. -Virginia
Chronicle.
There is hardly any likeness between
the two. The hemlock is q Towering
plant and rootless. The parsnip (rsre in
formation) flowers not, and is known by
its spindle root. 1t is difficult to distin-
guish the wild from the tame parsnip.

There are fewer men on u streets now
than for 9 long time past. This gives the
town an air Of greater dullness than is
justified by the facts. Many of the men
who, o while ago, could be seen about the
streets and in the saloons, have taken to
the hills and are vigorously at work pros
pecting for ore, or taking it out and ship
ping it to the furnaces for reduction. On
Prospect Mountain, for instance, more
miners are agitating earth's bowels than
ever before, we believe, in the history Of
the camp; and the most of them, as We have
reported from time to time, are making
wages, and some OF them, also, getting
handsome returns for their labor. Adams
Hill is fairly alive with miners. whose
number Is increasing from day to day, and
there is not one Of them but is making
good wages. A little while ago, for OK
ample, the Silver Lick mine was lying idle;
now IS men are tributing in it, several OF
whom have fine pitches. 1t 10 no bad sign
that the number Of idle men about town Is
reduced. They are at work keeping the
furnaces alive for the present, and the
chances are that among 30 many prospec-
tors q big mine will be uncovered before
Winter comes again.

10 try and get the best goods to be had
in the market, regardless Of cost. price.
and sells them in most instances as low
as inferior goods are sold by competi-
tors. It is well worth the trouble for
any housekeeper to examine the goods
and compare quality and prices before
purchasing elsewhere.

EUREKA, NAV

EUREKA, May rs, 1884.
Ed. SENTINEL: Your correspondent re-
Gently returned from q trip to Newark
Valley, and his reason for writing is for
the purpose Of having the public gener-
ally understand the condition Of the road,
or Q portion of it lying in this county.
We're 1t not that Thomas Robinson, living
in White Pine county, took IA men from
the company's mine and repaired the road.
IL would now be entirely impossible. 1t
seems strange that Eureka county can
not repair one-hslf mile Of one OF the
most travelled t~horoughfares leading to
and from Eureka, situated within the
county limits, and especially Is this
so when the territory where this
road. 80 situated. was acquired from
White Pine county by q hard struggle.
A large amount Of ore, wood, charcoal and
hay coming from White Pine and Elko
counties IL hauled over this road, and 1t
seems as IL Eureka county ought to do
something 10 keep the portion in this
county in some kind Of decent condition.
3.
In regard to this complaint, we can
state. upon information, that the County
Commissioners are disposed to be liberal
in the matter Of repairing the roads, many
Of which are at present greatly in need OF
repair, but they have no money in the
fund with which to do anything. The case
mentioned, however, seems urgent. and
possibly something special may be done.
