How seldom do we in’ this active, bustling, busy world, look back on ‘the past of our lives-and-apon the ~—ehanges and alterations ‘whicli. have — takenplace inthe short space “—* of 20 years—our, thoughts almost ‘unconsciously took a retrospective . Niew of the cbangosin Névada county during.that peried, by the return of “our old friend H. O. Hodge, “who is jyoW-on-a short visit after an absence of over 20-years. When Mr. Hodge left Nevada in 4853, the great busi“\nesi of mining was almost wholly “venfined to “individual effort, as at: “that time our rich gulehes, ravines, “and coyote diggings, "were paying the . individual owners of small 30 ‘and 60 foot claims, B rit harvett,. Now all that is changed, and mining is carried on-bycompanies,and hold almost all-the mining int owt [3 _. York, who. was then lying in a trance, and,..to_all . ontward appearances, dead. We now. havea story equal . to. it which we ‘find.in the Rochester, TN. Y., Deinoctat, of Dee. 24th,tnd shih we give below. ‘The Democrat says: There is nothing new ‘to ‘be said about this singular case. ‘The body ‘of Miss Bonney still lies unburied. We were told on Saturday that the ‘‘believers”’ inthis city-received: nasurances from’ the-spirits tha} the young woman'would réturn to life\on Thursday of this week. Asfar _aswe can learn the only. ose of *suspended animation known to have occurred in Western Now York heretofore was that of a young lady residing in a village at somé sconsiderable distance from this city. When sixteemr years . of age she was taken ill suddenly a and seon, to all-appearsummoned to attend her was a: "man of common sense as well as professional skill, He pronounced the young lady dead.. The* body “was, however, kept a few days, as no-sign ‘of -decayappeared. The physician again made an: examination, but ests of the county, both gravel-and }none of his tests gave evidence that quartz.’ It would now be a difficult . life~had not departed, ‘Phe* glass . placed “thing to-find a score of the old fash‘ioned mining claims of 30 square feet in the county, The result is, capital and combinations control ‘all the mining interests, and the laborer: ‘who does the work must depend on his daily wages fer a livelihood. Then, scores and scores of the owners abd workers of the simalk thirty ~ foot claims were making small for“tines, and returning to the ‘States to . ~ enjoy with their families the fruits of their-labors—now but few return to take up their residence in their ,old homes East, and bat. fewer for-. { fanes are made, exeept by those, who eontrol the ‘capital of the ‘country. Then, there was no stability to the proprietors; all or nearly all intending to return East, having come here with that intention, only intending to remain here long enough to secure a cy; tiow bat few think or talk of returning, except to]. ‘visit old friends and relatives. But ver lips collected no moisture even. inthe slightest degree, Still the body wae unburied because decomposition failed to set in. Asa final test the. body Was_ taker in the open air—the time wag >winter—and being covered with a sheef> a pail-ful. of iee-water was poured upon the head. The. experiment proyed a failure, like all others that hhadibeen” tried.” -The relatives of the deceased thought. they noticed at times a slight shiver creeping over the inanimate form. ‘They were not spiritualists, und their only reason for ‘delaying the funeral rites was that no evidences of mortality ‘appeared, Strange to say, at the end . ’ of four weeks, the young lady recovered life and consciousness and . meee. The case was therefore: one ; ted animation, cl We may add that. the. above details are facts, ‘They have never the most notable change in the past heretofore been published that. we 20 years,to one who like Mr. Hodge, has been absent that length of time, ~mo doubt, is the almost complete ~ change in the population. But few old and familiar faces now greet the visitor, and ofthe hundreds and + thousands who were ‘the old gers _of the county, in 50, i." 53, we are confident in saying a _perhaps not over 100-remain. Some are in one section, some in another, mitiy, very many, have gone to their long home. This fact alone fills us. with sadness as, we remember the ‘many noble, good and true men,who ‘fn the past twenty years have gone ,to, enjoy, a3 wa sincerelytrust, the glories and beauties, of the spirit “world, Peace to their ashes ania “tear to their memory.

Mr. Kaneen says he had just finished his dinner end walked—out-to look after the street lamps-which had jast~been lighted. He was standing: under a new style of street lamp just received from New York, at the cerner of Union and E streets, when there came a flash of light so dazzlingly. white aud bright that it eaused him for an instant to closa both ah ances, she was dead, — The; physician +0 pexing-his eyes almostinstan tl beheld falling perpendicularly ee ‘the heavens a ball of what at white fire of intense brilliancy about the size of a wash tub. The huge meteor descended as swiftly-asa flash. of lightning, apparently falling directly tothe ‘earth, From where he stood it was in a direct line with Pi‘per’s Opera House and the Enter‘prise building, which was nearly ‘Southwest.from bis standpoint: To’ him.the meteor appeared -to fall directly into D. street, between the Opera House and the Enterprise baild. ing. Just before it passed down behind the roof of the Opera House, the meteor divided into a great number of fragments" apparently about the size of a man’s fist. These darting out and showering down: frommain globe of fire, prosented, as Mr.Kaneen described it, much the’ appeardnce of the ribsof an umbrella ‘when stripped of its covering, the streaks-of fire 8 eaining down on all sides of where the ehis had been seen: Mr. Kancen that ‘ti Hnreteo# . had fallen in D street at the point med above, that. he stoed listening same. seconds after its-disappearance . to hear the crash-ef-its fall, and he evel caine up to D street and hunted baround for some time in front of the Opera House in-the expectation of being able to find some ef ‘the. fragments he had seen showered on all -is living to-day in good health and} sides: ~ We scarcely*need say that in this he was disappointed. He says 1 that. pure, dazzling white color, it ‘threw a bright blue glare npon all the buildings beforg him, This strange, wn earth! glare he particularly noticed inte building, Biuck’s large brick building, the Ore: Hotel and tbe smaller buildings between those ‘whieh-were in-sight meteor appeared to fall in-this city, it doubtless in reality fell hundreds if not thousands of miles away to thie . southwest. The point where Mr. Kaneen’ stood is probably 200 feet lower than the sight of the. Opera ‘House, therefore the meteor might well seem to fall behind the roof of that building. The light shed by ‘the Celestial visitor was so intense that Mr. Kaueen says ,the ‘powerful lump under whieh:he stood (said «to be three times as strong as an Ordinary street lamp) seemed to sd usteriy: obscured, i ResoLUTIONS PSRTAINING TO THE nm. wis offered by Nesmith and passed by the House of: Representati-yes January 8th: Rresotven, > That the President of the Onited Sjates. é, and is, Héreb requested, if uot incompatible: vith the public: service, to nish ~ House: of Representativesall co¥xespondence between t ait ferent departments of the Be Pnient and: the Peace Conimissionérs during the war-with the Modov Indians in, southeru Oregon and northein Oalifornix: during the years 1872, atid 1873;-also copies of all’ corres. . poridence® with and orders issued to military authorities engaged in such war up tothe peridd of: the removal of said Modoc Indians from the States of Oregon and California, — “It is expected that this Tesolation will lead to.the exposure of nuomer‘ous’ sehemes of syecutettan on the Pacidic Coaat.TT > “Pas New York Sun makes the following allusiens to the man. whe is {to be Gov.
