short and Long Courtships.

Daisy Dandelion, Essex, CT, is perplexed
over the question of short and long cour-
ships, and wants our advice. Well, Daisy,
it is hard to make rule to fit every case,
but in general We will say that long court
ships are not advisable. Many women. pale,
haggard, wan and wasted from long contin-
ued uterine ailments, are forced to abandon
all thoughts of marriage. Such unfortunate
sufferers should know that DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is positive cure for the
most complicated and obstinate cases of
leucorrhoea. excessive flowing, painful men
situation, unnatural suppressions, prolapsus,
or falling of the womb, weak back, "female
weakness" anteversion, retroversion, "bear-
ing down sensations" chronic congestion,
Inflammation and liberation of the womb,
Inflammation. pain and tenderness in evaries,

A valuable Medical Treatise.

The edition for 1880 of the sterling Medi-
cal Annual, known as Hottetter's Almanac,

ers in all parts of the United States, Mexico
and indeed in every civilized portion of the
Western Hemisphere. This Almanac has
been issued regularly at the commencement
of every year for over one fourth of a century.
1t combines, with the soundest practical ad-
vice fol the preservation and restoration OF
health, large amount of amusing and light
reading, and the calendar, astronomical cal
cualions, chronological items, &c, are pre-
pared with great care, and will be found
entirely accurate. The issue for Hostetter's

DIR. Kirby's Death and Funeral

Quite number of the citizens of Dayton
attended the funeral of Captain Paul T.
Kirby in Virginia City last Tuesday. DR..
Kirby was for number of years a resident
of Silver City, this county, where, in early
days, he acted as engineer at one Of the
mills at that place, but while SO employed

sick and dress the wounds of the unfortu,
nate. While in Silver City he became a
member of Amity Lodge F. & A. M. lie

of Phil Kearney Post &. A. R., member
of the Order of Chosen Friends, in which he
held beneficiary certificate for $1,000, and
was also an Odd Fellow. Owing to his
generosity he failed to amass-a fortune, but

to come, Paul T. Kirby will begin business
on the other side with large balance on
the credit side OF his account. The Masons,
Chosen Friends and Grand Army all held

"A Good PerfOrmance-A Number OF
Talented AOung Authorizations
The musical and literary entertainment
given last Friday evening, December I4th,
by the school children in District -, assist
ed by few outsiders, was decided sue.
cess in every sense of the word.
"Wanted, Young Lady," comic farce,
which concluded the performance, was well
acted by the popular Professor Downey and
his wife and Miss Annie Craig, and was re.
ceived with much applause.
In the main programme the opening ad
dress by the teacher, Miss Mamie Donahue,
consisted of few we'll chosen remarks, and
the rounds of applause which greeted her
gave evidence that she was universal ia.
vorite.
The comic duet, by Miss Bertha Becker
and Ernest Leavitt, was not only amusing
but melodeous, and was greatly enjoyed.
Miss jamie Vosburg recited "Burns, Of
Gettysburg" in excellent style.
Two short, witty Ethiopian dialogues, by
four pupils, caused an endless amount Of
! fun.
Mrs. Downey, in the vocal solo "Little
Darling Dream of Me-" charmed the audi
ence with her sweet voice.
Master Ed Dyer in defamation entitled
"Our Girls" exhibited considerable ability
as a speaker and showed that he was thor,
oughly acquainted with the subject.
Miss Belle Haltom answered the piece
with spicy essay entitled "Our Boys"
She displayed much natural ability and was
highly praised
The comic songs by Mrs. Downey and T.
NJ. MCGOWAN were rendered in fine style
and both were repeatedly encored.
Miss Annie Becker's sweet voice mede
the song "The Letter that Never Came, "
one long to be remembered by those who
heard it. The audience showed its appreci.
alton by showering the little Miss with four
bit pieces, in the absence of flowers.
The trio by Mrs. Crowningsheld and the
Misses Becker and Hernleben was one Of
the best features of the programme.
Mr.. NcGowan's recitation, "Shamus
O'Bren," and Miss Donahue's "Legend Of
Bregenz," should only be heard to be appre-
ciated.
The audience was the largest that has as
sembled in Greenfield for long time and
all were highly pleased. After the perform,
ance the usual clearing of the feor took
place and all who were SO inclined remained
to dance few hours to the excellent music
furnished by Pinkerton's orchestra. The
people of the district return thanks to all
who took part in the entertainment and to
all who contributed in any way towards its
success. They will now be able to furnish
their school in fine style.

ksiiveE CitY MinbSs

Although the little camp Of Silver City is
not as lively now as it has been during the
past year considerable work is being done in
the different mines.
The Woodville is shut down.
1t is rumored that the Kossuth will soon
start up.
Mr.. Piper is getting some good rock from
his claim.
The Silver Hill will start up about the first
of January.
The Briggs mill has not been running for
the past two months.
1t is reported that the owners of the Ian
FAC have some good ore in sight.
1t is reported that the owners of the South
End mine have uncovered ledge of good
rock.
Considerable prospecting and gouging is
going on around the hills, and some very
good punches of ore ore occasionally uncov-
cred.
The Lacrouts mine is looking well, and
enough rock is being taken out to keep the
arrasres on the river running Six or eight
men are employed.
The Haywood folks have but five or six
men now employed. The mine is being
opened on the several levels and the ledge
has been cut in several places, showing good
ore. Rock is being taken out and arun will
be made at the Taylor mill about the list.
The Oest mine, which has proved bonan,
"a to its owners, is still taking out rock
through the tunnel, and it is being worked
at the Taylor mill. The rock is of lower
grade than has been taken out, but it pays
to work, and there is considerable of it.
About twenty men are at work in the mine.
The Atlanta mill which was running on
Occidental ore has been hung up for nearly
TWO months. The Occidental is still work
ing number of men. The rock found is
not of very high grade but there is large
quantity of fair ore, and the probability is
that a milkwill be erected near the mine
shortly, which will save the cost of hauling
the rock and make it profitable to work.

Whit She Would Have.

The following actually occurred in certain
locality in this place lately, says the Truckee
Rebn6Hcan. A lady teacher was instructing
a Aoung class in the meaning OF different
words principally by illustration. At length
the word "husband" was reached. To make
it clearer for them she says: "Supposing
that should get married, what would it be
that | would have2" For a few moments
their little heads were busy trying to COM
prehend what it would be, when one bright
little fellow with his countenance beaming
with satisfaction at having solved the prob
lem, shouted out: ga baby ma'am."

A RaShful Groom.

An Oregon paper says: A young couple
arrived in Eltenburg from Yakima in a COW
cred wagon. They had two hearts that beat
as one, one soul with but single thought,
and miscellaneous assortment of tropical
fruits.and a squash. Their hearts had twined
as the pumpkin vine and their voices were
honeyed with dew. They sold out their
cargo and then got married. The groom
hired room at hotel for the bride, and
slept outside in wagon. The bride said
"Tohnny is so bashful."

STAGE CONNECTIONS.
The Dredge .

7. H. Rae r., Of the Carson River Dredg
ing Company, succeeded this week in NOV
ing the scow down the river about hallway
to the place where he expects to begin oPer-
ations. Owing TO the low stage of water in
the river he has been obliged to construct
dams to float the scow. 1t is anticipated
that by putting in one more dam the boat
can be foated to the place where it is want
ed. Owing to the unstable condition of the
river bottom it is difficult to make dam
stand, but hopes are entertained that the
work will be completed next week.

SILK CULTURN.


"A Growing Industry ON this Coast
Some weeks ago the TIMES gave a short
account Of lady's experiment in Mason
Valley in growing silk worms. 1t was shown
that the work was light and easy and could
be made paying business at very little
outlay Of time and money. The silk culture
industry is gaining rapid Roadway in Califor-
MIA, and many persons from all parts of that
State are sending for information to the State
Board Of Silk Culture that has been estab,
lished there. Before long the annual free
distribution of mulberry trees will begin, and
it is estimated that over 5000 trees of i'm
ported and domestic varieties will be planted
next Spring. There are hundreds of appli,
cants for these trees, showing that much in.
terest is being taken in the new industry. 1t
is claimed that the imported trees of Italy
are the best for the reason that they waste no
strength in substance in berry formation, al
though the common white mulberry trees are
very good. The California Board expects to
as soon as they arrive from Italy. 1t has been
proven beyond doubt that the industry can
be made pryng one in California, and it
has also been shown by experiments made in
this State that it would pay here if some en-
terprising persons would take hold of it. The
mulberry tree grows well in our soil and eli
mate and two crops can generally be raised
from the trees before frost interferes in the
Fall. AS before stated the labor of raising
worms and taking care Of the cocoons is light
and can be carried on by ladies and children.
1t is pleasant occupation and should be
taken up in this State, as when it grows it
will give employment to many who are seek
ing just such work.
