We of Staunton are not disposed to COM

abroad. We can easily see how newspaper
may fall into error through some excited
"reliable source just as our Contemporary
has done in the above. There have been
| in this city of nearly ten Thousand inhabi-
| tants, just seventy nine cases of small
pox and varioloid. Of these, all but
six were colored people, and of the six
whites, four lived in the negro settlement
where the disease was located. There have
been in the whole month the disease has
prevailed here, but six deaths OF these
only one was white person. Last Satur
day, May 18th. all the patients were moved

Of mile from The city, and on Sunda.
night, May Goth, seven. een clbins in thu
negro settlement where small pox cases haf
been. were buried, together with larg,

been used as temporary hospital.
If our esteemed contemporary will publish
this statement which is from not only a
''reliable," but an Official source, it will do

Justice to which it was led by its unreliable

prehends from the press is that her radiance
of the small pox will not be as promptly
and prominently published as its preva-
lence here has been; if our contemporaries
in other towns will make this last fact
conspicuous, we shall complain Of none of
the exaggerations they have been led into

THE WALTON Law.

Notwithstanding the evil prophesies by
its enemies, and the honest doubts OF its
friends, the Walton law has worked very
well with the long lists Of candidates for
county and district officers. The vote cast
in this county was within score of being
five thousand, and the number Of candi
dates was, as our readers know, very large.
And yet we hear of no trouble anywhere
Every voter who vents to the booths got
in his vote and had time to spare, and the
count was made with such ease that by
noon the next day the talley sheet OF every
precinct was in the hands of the county
clerk. With the number of candidates
usually up in any other than county cleo
ton, a vote of eight thousand might have
been easily polled and counted in good
time.
There was one thing illustrated in the
working of the Walton law last week, and
that was the absolute uncertainty and use
lessness of investing money in the effort to
secure votes. The candidate who uses
money to help along his canse, does so will
about the same uncertainty that attends
investing it in the Louisiana State lottery

He Killed the Fly.

The Geneseo (Ill.) News tells this
story: Up near Atkinson is a farmers
wife, who read in the back end oil
some almanac, where the leaves are all
torn out, that corns can be cured by
rubbing them with the heads OF old
fashioned blue matches. One corn
hurt her very much. 1t was very ten
der. She could hardly bear to touch
it, but she slyly rubbed the match
heads on, according to directions, and
went to bed, confidently expecting to
find the corn dead in the morning. In
the night the phosphorus in the match
heads began to gnaw pretty hard al
the corn, and she became restless,
finally kicking off the covers, which
awakened her husband. He looking
sleepily about for the quilts, spied what
he took to be a FREELY at the foot OF the
bed. At once arriving at the conclu-
sion that the insect had been annoy
ing his wife, causing her to kick, he
slipped out OF bed, seized one OF her
shoes, spat on his hands. and fetched
the supposititious insect a whack,
The yell his wife gave scared all the
stock out OF the barn yard.

stranger rnnn FICTION.

Here's a story which shows hat
truth is stranger than fiction.
Some go years ago the cashier of a
Liverpool merchant received a bank OF
England note, which he held up to the
light, to make sure it was genuine.
He then saw some very indistinct
red marks or words traced on the front
OF the note, and on the margin, and
be, from curiosity, tried to decipher
them. At length he made out the fol-
lowing sentence:
eff this note should fall into the
hands OF John Dean Of Longhill, near
Carlisle, he will learn thereby that his
brother is languishing a prisoner in
Algiers."
Mr.. Dean, oil being shown the note,
lost no time in asking the government
Of the day for assistance, and accom-
plished the freedom of his brother on
payment OF a ransom to the hey.
The unfortunate prisoner had been
a slave for II years, and had traced,
with a piece Of wood for q pen and
his W blood for ink. the message on
the banknote, in the faint hope of its
being seen sooner or later.-Boston

what the Congregation Sang.

A pastor OF a very poor church
wished to present his congregation with
hymn books, but did not have the
money wherewith to buy them. The pro-
prietor Of a patent medicine offered to
give the books, provided he were al
lowed to insert his advertisement in
them. The preacher reluctantly con-
scented. When the books arrived he
examined them carefully. but could
not find the advertisement. Con-
graduating himself upon his good for
tune, he presented them on Easter
morning and then announced, "We
will sing No. ST." On glancing at the
page an audible smile went through
the congregation. They sang as fol
lows:
"Hark, the herald angels singl
Johnson's pills are just the thing;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
Two for man and one for child"

Leonard Jacobs, a pie peddler, has
one Of the most remarkable horses in
Connecticut. Other towns have boasted
of horses that chew tobacco, chew
gum and drink beer, but Jacobs horse
will eat pie. The horse is 20 years
old. Jacobs pies come from New
Haven, packed in cases, and in trans
p~ortation some of them generally get
broken and cannot be sold. One day
Jacobs threw a broken pie on the
ground near the horses head. The
animal smelled OF it, touched it with
his tongue, Tapped it up and ate it with
a relish. Then Jacobs began to feed
pies to the horse. The horse soon got
TO like them and would even refuse
oats when pie was to be had. The
habit has grown on him until now,
when Jacobs says pie to him, the
horse will turn his head and wink ex-
pectantly.
He has a decided preference for
mince pie, and the more raisins and
currants and cider there are the better
he is pleased. Apple pie is not a great
favorite with him. Most bakers put
grated nutmeg into the apple pie, and
this doesn't seem to agree with the
equine taste. Pumpkin pie he likes,
and cranberry tarts are an especial de-
light. Peach, apricot, berry and prune
pies are acceptable, but unless the
prunes are stoned he will not touch
prune pie after the first bite. The
horse is fat, slick and youthful in bis
movements, and Jacobs expects to
keep him on the pie cart until be is
long past the age when most horses
are turned out to grass for the rest OF
their days or are carted to the horse
cemetery by the side of the murky
waters OF the Naugatuck riyer.-Balti-

PERSISTED ON THE DESERT.

James Wallace arrived in Austin
Monday afternoon OF last week from
Silver Peak. He informed a Reveillt
reporter that at the time he left the
Peak some four or five men were al
work. and that the remainder were
waiting for the arrival Of machinery,
when they expected to go to work.
The machinery is expected to arrive
at the Peak to-day. He also says
that many Of the Cinnamon, who
were at the Peak have left, but few re-
naming.
Mr.. Wallace also informed the re-
porter that on Tuesday last the re-
mains Of a man and his horse
were found on the Wadsworth road,
both having persisted from the want
Of water. The remains of the dead
man were brought to Downeyville
where an inquest was held by the
Coroner Of Esmeralda county. At the
inquest it was brought out that the
wife Of the section boss at Luning had
refused the deceased water for himself
and horse, telling deceased that he
would find water at a spring on the
road. 1t is certain that the spring
was not found and from parties who
have travelled the road, say it is i'm
possible for a traveller TO find it. Mr..
Wallace had forgotten the name OF the
deceased, but says that he was well
dressed, had $40 in gold and $1s in
silver in his pocket, a gold watch and
chain, and a diamond ring on n Of
his fingers, there was also a fifty dol
lar slug attached to the watch chain.
The deceased was buried in Downey-
vile last Wednesday week. In the
cart in which deceased travelled, was
plenty Of provisions and rs there vas
no signs Of foul play it was convincing
to the Coroner's jury that deceased
and his horse persisted for want Of
water.

fused the traveller water, has been
asked for his resignation, to take place
on the Goth inst.-Reveille.

burning OF the barn, which was almost
entirely consumed.

Look Out for Your Hogs.

Owing to the fact that hogs running
at large in Eureka have been doing
considerable damage OF late in the way
OF breaking through fences and root
ing up flower and vegetable gardens,
much to the annoyance OF the owners
thereof, the SENTINEL has been re-
quested to publish the following Sec
tions taken from the Nevada Statutes
relating thereto. 1t is possible the
owners of said hogs do not know thai
there is a law on the statute books
covering the case, and for that reason
we quote it as follows:
SECTION /. 1t shall be unlawful for
any person or persons, who are the
owner or owners, or who may have
charge of any swine within the State,
to allow them to run at large and be
free commoners.
SEC. .. Any swine belonging to
any person or persons, or under the
charge OF any person or persons, thai
shall break into any yard, flower Oh
vegetable garden, or in any Enclosure
whatever, or shall root up or destroy
any pasture, field, or growing grasi
for hay purposes, or any kind Of grow
ing crops whatever, whether the same
be inclosed or not, such person or per
sons, owner or owners, shall be sub
ject to such damages as shall be equa
to twice the value of the propert,
broken into, eaten up or destroyed.
