TRAVEL TO WAsHOE.-The travel on the
Henness route, between Nevada and Virginia
City, is rapidly increasing. On Monday last,
the two stages aud saddle train which left
here for Washoe, took twenty-sx passengers.
This, however, is an unusual number to start
out in one day, and is attributed TO the return
Of many temporary residents Of that Territory
who had come over to vote The stage of Sale
& Co. left this morning with FIVE passengers.
The fare between Nevada and Virginia City is
now reduced to ten dollars; and this, with the
comfortable accommodations on the route, and
an excellent road, will keep up large travel.

NEVADA LIBRARY.-At a meeting of the
Nevada Library Association, held yesterday
evening, proposition was made to remove the
books TO the brick building over Bazes Saloon,

the books was to have them in place where
better care could be taken of them; but the
members Of the Association were Of the opinion
that the books would !are as well where they
are as in any other place. Mr.. C. II. Horton was
elected librarian; and hereafter those wishing
70 obtain books will be accommodated by call
ing on Mr. H., at the Office of the South Yuba
Canal Co.

rested in Nevada this morning, by officer Allen

have been committed quite recetly, and one of
the women, VIC are informed, has been living
in Nevada for the past eight months.
