ApIcn.nut u.esidence.

One of the most pleasant dwellings
in Eureka is the brick residence Of j.
G. Powell, to which he has lately had
built an additional room, l4xl6 feet at
the south end. The outhouses ON the
premises are very conveniently situ-
ated, and comprise a roomy stable,
with stalls so arranged that they can
be filed with hay by passing in front
Of the horses, in place of behind them.
A carriage apartment and harness
room, separate, are under the same
roof, as is also an apartment for the
hay. A COW and chickens, separately
housed, an inclosure for the animals
to run in, and small shed rooted
house, sometimes tenanted bya young
calf, the building OF which is the
handiwork OF Bart Powell, bright
lad of 10 Summers. With this ex-
ception the outhouses were all built by
MIR. Powell, who is a natural mechanic.
The premises have the requirements
for a model stock and chicken farm,
and not only this, for very comfort

above the main thoroughfare and

THE STATE DEMoCRAoY.

The Index Union Of the 18th inst says:
The Democratic State Convention at
Virginia City yesterday succeeded in
nominating an excellent ticket in spite
Of the handicap which the railroads have
persistently sought to place upon the
party during the last few months.
The nomination Of Mr. Cassidy for
Congress was the outcome OF a personal
popularity and q confidence in the use.
fitness Of the man as a Representative,
which far overshadowed his alleged sub.
servieney to corporations. The efforts Of
the Enterprise to stigmatize the conven.
tion as composed Of weaklings who were
under corporation leading strings con.
solidated the sentiment Of the convention
in Mr.. Cassidy's favor TO such an extent,
that there was no pronounced opposition
to his nomination in any quarter.

difficulty by reason Of the timidity of re.

showed its real spirit by the determine
ton to nominate the very best man in
the State and to enter upon the cavass
