Short‘ferin~AsC, NILES..0f Nevada. For Supt. or ScHOOLS. COUNTY TICKET. For County Judge, JOHN CALDWELL.. ~.of Nevada City. Not Similar Cases. Our Democratie exchanges are ‘trying very hard to counteract the éffects of the exposure of the frauds in New York City by comparing the same to the embezzlements of money by persons holding office under the Federal Government, and the defalcation of Hodges, ‘the Paymaster of New York, furnishing them a_ text from which . they write sermons on honesty and attempt to prove that the management of the finances of the General Government is in the hands of dishonest and corrupt men. Tf such were the case, says the Stockton Independent, is it not very strange that the value of Government securities has so greatly increased during the present adminisiration? and is not very remarkable that the bonds of the United States find such a ready . per we have ever seen has tried in any way to excuse or cover up these . défaleations, but al] unite in calling for a prompt punishment of the guilty parties. These defalcations are the acts of individuals, and not ! results. of concert ofaction among a number of persons, and the party to which the embezzlers belong demand their punishment. The frauds in New York city are entirely different, The crime there corhmitted is a grand conspiracy toro’ the public treasury, inwhich. the Fammany . leadersare all implicated, and they have-used the Democratic party, not only of the city of New York but of nefarious schemes of plunder. Nutwithstanding, ithas been well known that the men comprising that ring of conspirators were becoming immensely rich by their thieving practices, and that they were able to control, by the most corrapt means, the whole machinery of the Democratic party of that State; still the members of: that party have submitted to dictation and have voted repeatedly to sontinue the rule of the Tammany Ying. So great had become the power of these manipulators, that only a short time since they assumed to dictate to the Democratic party of the United States, and demanded that Governor Hoffman, one of their pets, should be the Democratic eandidate for President in 1872, and their demand was reeeived with considerable favor by a large portion of the Democratic press throughout . the Union. It is not strange that the same papers are now desirous of palliating the crimes of this gang of conspirators by claiming their offences to be less henious than hav really are. ‘The whole Democratic party of New York city is to a certain extent implicated, and have voted repeatedly to continue the power of the ring, and had not this exposure been made, without doubt the money for carrylng on the Democratic campaign next year would have been, to a great extent, drawn from the taxpayers of the city of New York. ete gig ate ABouT a year ago, says the MaEureka! {-. The New York World cf the 9th instant explains exactly how the. Democrats happened to lose California. The explanation, says the Virginia City. Enterprise, does not tally with that of the San Francisco Ezamainer or Sacramento Reporters, but.no matter; it suits the latitude of New York. The Examiner says California went Republican because the people of this State are crazy. The Reporter. insists, that the State is really Republican, and will remain 80 ulti! aheavy immigration from the Southern States. or Ireland changes it. The World starts ont by declaring that ‘‘the California election-cannot-be fairly considered a test of party strength,” and then proceeds to give its ‘reasons why Haight was defeated: ~ : In California (saya the.World there was but one great issne, an that, singulatly enough, the same on which so large and res & portion, the Republican party are arrayed against a renomination of Mr. Grant. In California the Governor is elected for four years, a term unprecedented, we believe, in any other State, and so analagous in its length to the Presidency as to occasion almosta Presidential fervor over the question of the succession. By what seems to usa mistake Governor Haight was renominated for the term of four years from the Ist of January next, and against him was, by the fact of ‘his-having had the office since 1868, at once arrayed the full strength of the one-term principle. By their party affiliations the Republicans were, as a matter of course, against him, en masse; and added to this vote, always aclose one in California, the one-term Demovirtually did the same thing by staying from the polls, turned the scale. All of which is, of course, the sheerest nonsense. The-‘‘one-term principle,” as the World calls it, did not lose Haight a single vote. The loss of two Democratic Congressmen shows the State to be Republican. Another of theWorld’s reasons is that the Republicans gave the nomination for Lieutenant Goyernor to a native Californian, thereby securing §ylarge vote yhich would otherwise have been thf$wn for the Democratic party. Im another article-in the me issue of the Werld we find-a Second set of explanations. We _ex. Tf the Radicals have carried California they owe their success as much to an umpardonable blunder of the Democratic leaders as to any other ¢ause. The Radicals were shrewd enough to send popular native speakers among the Mexivan-born residents to look after their votes, which number several thousand. The Italian immigration to California is very respectable, and the Radicals took care to bring similar influences to bear on the voters of that orogin. The Democrats in their canyassing appear to have neglected the Mexican and Italian elementsaltogether. These, with the negro vote cast this year for the first time, may have made up the majority claimed for his party by the sender of dispatches to the press from San Francisco. ; The St. Louis Republican (Democratic) says Haight was defeated °because he was a large stockholder in the Central Pacific Railroad Company, and the Baltimore Journal attributes Booth’s stecess to Democratic votes purchased with Republican money! This is atrocious. If our Democratic friends do not like these explanations, they haye our perntfsslon to correct them, Tas New York Court’ of Appeais has recently rendered a decision holding thatthe Legislature has no power to extend the term of office of any official elected by the people beyond the time for which it was elected. It had been the custom of Tammhany to extend the terms of some of its officials by special aets of the Legislature, and the decision puts a stop to this practice. rysville Appeal, Wendall Phillips! made &@ savage attack on President . Grant and his administration, when . allof the Democratic papers through. out the land were struck with admiration for the great Abolitionist, and spared no words in his eulogy. More .xecently, Mr. Phillips has indulged in another flight of eccentricity, and and declared that “of all the men Massachusetts had honored in the lust fifty years, uone could compare in statesmanship with Butler; that no man could stand higher in the history of the State.” This declaration has set our Democratic eotemporaries on the other tack, and they are as earnest in their endeavors to prove Phillips‘a fool, or a madman, as they were formerly in their attempts to make him out a gteat. statesman.— Yet he is the same old Wendall Phillips, and.either one of his positions wal? se pig ges Norwrrastanpine the entire appropriation of $50,000 for building the Governor’s mansion has been exhausted, only the shell of the building has been erected, and the partition' studding comprises all of the in. terior work. The fact appears to be that the greater portion of the appropriation has been devoted to maintaining aMarge force of idlers, to be used for political purposes. Mount Cents.—It was expected that Mount Cenis tunnel would be opened to travel on Friday last. Communication will then take place between Bussoleno, on the Italian side. A month later the line will be finished to St. Mitehel. The length of this tunnel. is 12,000. meters, or about seven and half miles. The opposition railway line between France SO a i raat be erats who went over ow ight for this > occasion only to the opposition, or An Qpp qm Sargent. as follows of the Senstorial ‘contest: “A travel around town this. morning hag been prolific in impressions. Were a full statement of all that we haye heard to be made public, q bewilderment would be presented. The causes of the Democratic déféat are discussed on every hand, but the great question now seems to be—who is our next Senator? Some talk feebly of Mr. Cole. A few speak well of Gorham, who by the way; is the second best worker in the Radical party; but many more are earnest in supporting A. A. Sargent. Now, although Mr, Sargent hates us as Satan — ‘does holy water, we will offer this pieee of advice to the Republicans: -Nominate A. A. Sargent for your Senator and elect him if you can. He is one of the most thorough Radicals in the party. He hates a Democrat. as a cat does a dog; he is one of your best and most earnest workers; there is nothing he would not do to defeat a Democratic measure. You cam depend upon him if you elect him. aus To our Democratic friends in the Legislature we will urge—that if you want to preserve the integrity of the party in the coming campaign, defeat Sargent if you can; make any trade that you can eonscientiously to do it. He is the coming man and the Radicals-are determined to elect him if possible. If a Democrat in the Senate votes for him he onght to be-erucified.’’ . Political Corruption. The Balletin contains three columns and a half, showing how ‘“‘political strikers” and ward manipulators go for candidates in San Francisco, That paper in commenting. upon the revelation says: The revelations made are sickening. They throw a flood of light ‘on the way nominations are bought and sold in party Conventions, how unfit men succeed over the best, “how money is exacted under a kind of highway pressare, and how black. Mailing is organized into a shamelessly open business. They show us the seeker or receiver of a. nomination beset by a crowd of hungry rascals, who demand his money. and allow. him no peace or privacy until the receive it or ate bravely choked off. baa arty us Clabs organized in evard, outside of the regular party Clubs, by fellows who make atinde of political ‘‘striking,”’ bleed candidftes. An inexperienced man, who has never run for office before, is apt to credit these bummers with more influence than they really possess, and. feel constrained to fee them. If he does, he is almost certain to find them selling cut to his opponent. From evety quarter they crowd upon him; like rats from the sewers, befouling and hurting him. If he emerges from the contest with any self respect left, he feels disgusted and ashamed, and hardly knows who to trust. Undoubtedly something ought to be done to check these practices, Opposing candidates ought to agree not to countenance such practices, and the Legislature ought: to enact laws prohibiting the. giving or receiving of bribes, and inflicting the severest penalty for its violation. Men who engage in such practices as characterized the contest in San Francisco, ought, to bé sent to the penitentiary, disfranchised and disqualified for holding office in the State. The practice’ of betting on elections ought alse tobe prohibited by law, as it is in many of the older States. oo Piocug Crry Desrrorep anp Livxs Lost.—On Saturday night a fire broke out in Lagrue's restaurant, Pioche city, and destroyed nearly the whole town, The loss is estimated at from $200,000 to $300,000, which there is no insurance. During the fire, 200 kegs of powder, which was supposed to be in a fire proof cellar, exploded, killing six persons and wounding thirty-one. Houses were thrown down, and the scene following the explosion is described as terrible. Those injured were hurt by the concussion, bffalling rocks, or burnéd in the fire. Break THE Nevapa Starr Prason,—On Sunday night a break oceurred at the Nevada State prison, Carson City. Twenty-nine prisoners escaped, and five of theguard were wounded. Mat. Rixby, proprietor of the Warm Springs Hotel was xilled, and Lieut. Governor Denver was slightly wounded. Bob Deadman, who was serving out. his sentence, did good service in assisting the offioets to hold the pri i 4 a aes 9 ft < pall OF es taldortes Mon! alt af Sally and Italy, by'Wway of the sea ood +3 eee o * mEsyit of Le A A I AE ET TE expressly to} fi of the exploits of a hunting that reeently went from Reno to Webber ‘as g:” ‘akin couple of heavy . steel Pe with them! they started leisurely up the mountain’s side, where soon finding a*good -locality ‘(near the carcass of a cow that had lately been killed by one of these menarchs. of the forest) they sprung their faps and continued on further up with the expectancy of meeting some kind Dividing upinto small parties, meandering around for an hour or two, mon_bear and her two. cubs which theysoon captured with bullets,rocks, ete., after which, ney hep cara success, they retraced their steps to the Webber Hc tel, well satisfied with ‘their day's hunt—having three bears, some sixty fine treut aiid other small game. Early the next morning they went to look after their traps, when to their joy they. discovered. that a bear had got into one trap and walked away with it, yet they well knew he was near at hand as the trap weighed sixty-five pounds. Then all collected for the hunt. The trail was not followed a great length of time ere they came upon his bearship—a huge grizzly. . The first proposition was to get above him tt 9 drive him into the valley and then—as two of the parties” were buccaros—lasso and him alive. The plan worked well for a while, until his bearship gathered up a favorite dug of one of the party and began to caress his canineship most too afiectionately, clawing his nose and displaying other equally strong evidences of affection. This was too much for the dog’s Inaster and bang! bang! went his Spencer riff, and his bearship fell down a living, breathing thing no longer. The carcass was taken to Dr. Webber's hotel, and found to ". Weigh 580 pounds. His left hind!“ foot was brought to this office by Len Savage, and. we coincide in the a: tees that he must have been “one of the old boys.” The capture of four bears in twenty hours was excitement enough for one time and the next day was spent in trout fishing, grouse hunting, etc. One feature of the party was Dr. Webber, a jolly old gentleman on general principles, and whose supply of wit and good stories won for him golden opinions from the remainder of the. The Doctor is an old pioneer, ving settled in this nimrod’§ paradise eighteen years ago. He hasa pointments of a Summer resort, which stands noar the shores of the beautiful little lake hearing his name, Bear, deer, and grouse abound nu‘merously, and no finer brook ‘trout are to be caught in any waters than those of Webber. Lake. All in all, this is by far the place for pleasure ‘seekers. Another party. is getting ready to leave here in a day or two. oné of the parties came upon a cinna. : } fine hotel. completed in all the: ap. Parson Frrzceratp’s Foxenat . oo Scnoo. Boox @wixpir.—The Oakland Neus says:. One of the important objects of this campaign is %o remove the swindling hypoctite, Parson Fitzgerald; from the superintendence of the public schools. Parents who have beew taxed from;five to twenty dollars for each child attending school, for the purpose of procuring new and inferior books, ought to know that they have been thus robbed through the agency of that ‘tearfal mourner for the lost ties were painfully shocked by certain patriotic expressions in the old text books; Wehaye no doubt but that in making these unnecessary changes, by which hundreds of thousands of dollars have been abstracted from poor people, Fitzgerald was in confederacy with certain booxsellérs. Referting’ to this subject’ the Alta says: Fitzgerald drew up all bills_relating to school. matters, <and lobied them through the Legislature, Nineof the Legislature did not know, and probably do not to this day, the contents of a single bill put forward by Mr. Fitzgerald to becomealaw. If any member straightened his neck,as if in the act of asking why the reading of the bill was dispensed with, he was at once suppressed with the intelligence . that “‘it is Parson Fitzgerald’s funeral, and it’s all right.” By this means, and by keeping constantly before both branches of the Legislature in the capacity of chaplain pro. tem., Fitzgerald’ succeeded in running those’bétlies whenever he visited Sacramento. +> oe ‘Acknowledgement. —I take pleasure in acknowledging through the agent of the Phonix Fire Insurance Co., G.*P.

The extraordinary increase that has taken Bitters during the past year, is another proof that an intelligent people, although they may try all things, hold fast only to that which is good. No amount of puffery can lift inferier articles to the position of standard specifics. To use the words of . Tom Paine, they may go up like a rocket, but are-sure-to-come—down ~ignominiousty . like its extinguished stick. Hundreds of such nostrums have gone up and come down since the introduction of Hostetter’s.Stomach Bitters, nearly the fifth of a.century. sgo. Yet it still remains the supreme tonic pe A Boup anp Succrssrun DzsertT10N.—The Vallejo Recorder of Sunday says: One of the boldest and most successful attempts at desertion occurred in our waters yésterday. Only a few days ago o boat crew from the California stole away, after night, but yesterday eight men, in broad daylight, successfully jumped into a sailboat and escaped, witha swift cutter-in pursuit, The plan had been pre-arranged, two men obtaining permission to go on shore, jumped into a sail boat and hastened back to the ship. Their companions were on the lookout and as she neared the ship’s side, six stalwart fellows leaped down the companionway ladder into the skiff, near sinking it. Bear a hand’ now boys, up sail and out oars, and we will reach the.shore safely! The alarm was’ soon given, and a well manned 'chtter started in hot pursuit, The race was for liberty or imprisonment, with the runaways and every-inch of eanvasa was spread. ‘They are gaining double bank your two oars,” cried the leader, and we will beat them yet. She sped like the wind, and they run her ashore at the nedrest point, and had scampéred out of sight before the heavy cutter could make her landing. Manerep.—The Carson State Register, after noticing the matriage in that city on the 14th inst., of Mr. James Hope to Miss Ellen Coffey, says: ‘‘This office was the recipient of a bountiful supply of cake, wine and cigars on the occasion, and from the gratified printer men came, with great unanimity, the prayer: May Hope and. Coffey {now in one— And, both in one, they're au fait) Find in the happy years to come, Nore hope in grinding coffee.” Serious Mlmess. We are sorry to learn that D. E. Bell,our efficient Deputy Postmaster, is severely ill from heworrhage* He was taken suddenly on Monday evening and was. yesterday ix a critical condition, © of the age.

A medicine so widely extended is of course pirated and imitated by dealers without conscience or integrity. » 7 Therefore, let every man and woman who designs to purchase the genuine Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, see to it that they have what they pay for, and not the resultsof an infamous imposture.

It had been the custom of Tammhany to extend the terms of some of its officials by special aets of the Legislature, and the decision puts a stop to this practice. rysville Appeal, Wendall Phillips! made &@ savage attack on President . Grant and his administration, when . allof the Democratic papers through. out the land were struck with admiration for the great Abolitionist, and spared no words in his eulogy. More .xecently, Mr. Phillips has indulged in another flight of eccentricity, and and declared that “of all the men Massachusetts had honored in the lust fifty years, uone could compare in statesmanship with Butler; that no man could stand higher in the history of the State.” This declaration has set our Democratic eotemporaries on the other tack, and they are as earnest in their endeavors to prove Phillips‘a fool, or a madman, as they were formerly in their attempts to make him out a gteat. statesman.— Yet he is the same old Wendall Phillips, and.either one of his positions wal? se pig ges Norwrrastanpine the entire appropriation of $50,000 for building the Governor’s mansion has been exhausted, only the shell of the building has been erected, and the partition' studding comprises all of the in. terior work. The fact appears to be that the greater portion of the appropriation has been devoted to maintaining aMarge force of idlers, to be used for political purposes. Mount Cents.—It was expected that Mount Cenis tunnel would be opened to travel on Friday last. Communication will then take place between Bussoleno, on the Italian side. A month later the line will be finished to St. Mitehel. The length of this tunnel. is 12,000. meters, or about seven and half miles.

Were a full statement of all that we haye heard to be made public, q bewilderment would be presented. The causes of the Democratic déféat are discussed on every hand, but the great question now seems to be—who is our next Senator? Some talk feebly of Mr. Cole. A few speak well of Gorham, who by the way; is the second best worker in the Radical party; but many more are earnest in supporting A. A. Sargent. Now, although Mr, Sargent hates us as Satan — ‘does holy water, we will offer this pieee of advice to the Republicans: -Nominate A. A. Sargent for your Senator and elect him if you can. He is one of the most thorough Radicals in the party. He hates a Democrat. as a cat does a dog; he is one of your best and most earnest workers; there is nothing he would not do to defeat a Democratic measure. You cam depend upon him if you elect him. aus To our Democratic friends in the Legislature we will urge—that if you want to preserve the integrity of the party in the coming campaign, defeat Sargent if you can; make any trade that you can eonscientiously to do it. He is the coming man and the Radicals-are determined to elect him if possible. If a Democrat in the Senate votes for him he onght to be-erucified.’’ . Political Corruption. The Balletin contains three columns and a half, showing how ‘“‘political strikers” and ward manipulators go for candidates in San Francisco, That paper in commenting. upon the revelation says: The revelations made are sickening. They throw a flood of light ‘on the way nominations are bought and sold in party Conventions, how unfit men succeed over the best, “how money is exacted under a kind of highway pressare, and how black. Mailing is organized into a shamelessly open business. They show us the seeker or receiver of a. nomination beset by a crowd of hungry rascals, who demand his money. and allow. him no peace or privacy until the receive it or ate bravely choked off. baa arty us Clabs organized in evard, outside of the regular party Clubs, by fellows who make atinde of political ‘‘striking,”’ bleed candidftes. An inexperienced man, who has never run for office before, is apt to credit these bummers with more influence than they really possess, and. feel constrained to fee them. If he does, he is almost certain to find them selling cut to his opponent. From evety quarter they crowd upon him; like rats from the sewers, befouling and hurting him. If he emerges from the contest with any self respect left, he feels disgusted and ashamed, and hardly knows who to trust. Undoubtedly something ought to be done to check these practices, Opposing candidates ought to agree not to countenance such practices, and the Legislature ought: to enact laws prohibiting the. giving or receiving of bribes, and inflicting the severest penalty for its violation. Men who engage in such practices as characterized the contest in San Francisco, ought, to bé sent to the penitentiary, disfranchised and disqualified for holding office in the State. The practice’ of betting on elections ought alse tobe prohibited by law, as it is in many of the older States. oo Piocug Crry Desrrorep anp Livxs Lost.—On Saturday night a fire broke out in Lagrue's restaurant, Pioche city, and destroyed nearly the whole town, The loss is estimated at from $200,000 to $300,000, which there is no insurance. During the fire, 200 kegs of powder, which was supposed to be in a fire proof cellar, exploded, killing six persons and wounding thirty-one. Houses were thrown down, and the scene following the explosion is described as terrible. Those injured were hurt by the concussion, bffalling rocks, or burnéd in the fire. Break THE Nevapa Starr Prason,—On Sunday night a break oceurred at the Nevada State prison, Carson City. Twenty-nine prisoners escaped, and five of theguard were wounded. Mat. Rixby, proprietor of the Warm Springs Hotel was xilled, and Lieut. Governor Denver was slightly wounded.

Early the next morning they went to look after their traps, when to their joy they. discovered. that a bear had got into one trap and walked away with it, yet they well knew he was near at hand as the trap weighed sixty-five pounds. Then all collected for the hunt. The trail was not followed a great length of time ere they came upon his bearship—a huge grizzly. . The first proposition was to get above him tt 9 drive him into the valley and then—as two of the parties” were buccaros—lasso and him alive. The plan worked well for a while, until his bearship gathered up a favorite dug of one of the party and began to caress his canineship most too afiectionately, clawing his nose and displaying other equally strong evidences of affection. This was too much for the dog’s Inaster and bang! bang! went his Spencer riff, and his bearship fell down a living, breathing thing no longer. The carcass was taken to Dr. Webber's hotel, and found to ". Weigh 580 pounds. His left hind!“ foot was brought to this office by Len Savage, and. we coincide in the a: tees that he must have been “one of the old boys.” The capture of four bears in twenty hours was excitement enough for one time and the next day was spent in trout fishing, grouse hunting, etc. One feature of the party was Dr. Webber, a jolly old gentleman on general principles, and whose supply of wit and good stories won for him golden opinions from the remainder of the. The Doctor is an old pioneer, ving settled in this nimrod’§ paradise eighteen years ago. He hasa pointments of a Summer resort, which stands noar the shores of the beautiful little lake hearing his name, Bear, deer, and grouse abound nu‘merously, and no finer brook ‘trout are to be caught in any waters than those of Webber.

Boox @wixpir.—The Oakland Neus says:. One of the important objects of this campaign is %o remove the swindling hypoctite, Parson Fitzgerald; from the superintendence of the public schools. Parents who have beew taxed from;five to twenty dollars for each child attending school, for the purpose of procuring new and inferior books, ought to know that they have been thus robbed through the agency of that ‘tearfal mourner for the lost ties were painfully shocked by certain patriotic expressions in the old text books; Wehaye no doubt but that in making these unnecessary changes, by which hundreds of thousands of dollars have been abstracted from poor people, Fitzgerald was in confederacy with certain booxsellérs. Referting’ to this subject’ the Alta says: Fitzgerald drew up all bills_relating to school. matters, <and lobied them through the Legislature, Nineof the Legislature did not know, and probably do not to this day, the contents of a single bill put forward by Mr. Fitzgerald to becomealaw. If any member straightened his neck,as

if in the act of asking why the reading of the bill was dispensed with, he was at once suppressed with the intelligence . that “‘it is Parson Fitzgerald’s funeral, and it’s all right.” By this means, and by keeping constantly before both branches of the Legislature in the capacity of chaplain pro. tem., Fitzgerald’ succeeded in running those’bétlies whenever he visited Sacramento. +> oe ‘Acknowledgement. —I take pleasure in acknowledging through the agent of the Phonix Fire Insurance Co., G.*P.

The extraordinary increase that has taken Bitters during the past year, is another proof that an intelligent people, although they may try all things, hold fast only to that which is good. No amount of puffery can lift inferier articles to the position of standard specifics. To use the words of . Tom Paine, they may go up like a rocket, but are-sure-to-come—down ~ignominiousty . like its extinguished stick. Hundreds of such nostrums have gone up and come down since the introduction of Hostetter’s.Stomach Bitters, nearly the fifth of a.century. sgo. Yet it still remains the supreme tonic pe A Boup anp Succrssrun DzsertT10N.—The Vallejo Recorder of Sunday says: One of the boldest and most successful attempts at desertion occurred in our waters yésterday. Only a few days ago o boat crew from the California stole away, after night, but yesterday eight men, in broad daylight, successfully jumped into a sailboat and escaped, witha swift cutter-in pursuit, The plan had been pre-arranged, two men obtaining permission to go on shore, jumped into a sail boat and hastened back to the ship. Their companions were on the lookout and as she neared the ship’s side, six stalwart fellows leaped down the companionway ladder into the skiff, near sinking it. Bear a hand’ now boys, up sail and out oars, and we will reach the.shore safely! The alarm was’ soon given, and a well manned 'chtter started in hot pursuit, The race was for liberty or imprisonment, with the runaways and every-inch of eanvasa was spread. ‘They are gaining double bank your two oars,” cried the leader, and we will beat them yet. She sped like the wind, and they run her ashore at the nedrest point, and had scampéred out of sight before the heavy cutter could make her landing. Manerep.—The Carson State Register, after noticing the matriage in that city on the 14th inst., of Mr. James Hope to Miss Ellen Coffey, says: ‘‘This office was the recipient of a bountiful supply of cake, wine and cigars on the occasion, and from the gratified printer men came, with great unanimity, the prayer: May Hope and. Coffey {now in one— And, both in one, they're au fait) Find in the happy years to come, Nore hope in grinding coffee.” Serious Mlmess. We are sorry to learn that D. E.
