THE EVENING NEWS.

This will be the first public entertainment
given in this magnificent new hall. 1t is
hard finished throughout, and where the walls
form the ceilings they are arched in such a
manner as to reflect the sound without the
harsh grating, peculiar to rooms Astounding
in right angles. A corps of first class mu-
sicianS have been engaged, an excellent sup
per will be served, and We will predict that
this will be one of the most pleasant parties
of the season.
MEUH AND TurM.-Last night some party
or parties void of the sense of meum and
tuum, and not having the fear of the law be-
fore their ewes, stole roll of oilcl0th from in
front of D. Wolf & Cos furniture store, on c
street, Virginia There was another roll left
outside, but being quite heavy, was left. The
value of the piece stolen was not over i've
dollars. These petty thieves are getting to be
quite nuisance in Virginia. Not long since
some of the tools belonging to the carpen-
tiers engaged upon the works of the Mon
mouth 4 Warsaw Company were appropria-
ted during the night. In fact, we hear of
some petty theft almost every day, and when
these fellows are caught they should be "ex-
ecooted to the full xtent of the law" Since
writing the above, the deplorable fact has
come to our acknowledgement some internal
rascal has stolen our box of boot backing.
The wretch! We hope it will poison him.
THE TRIAL Yesterday There was a
trial between Engines No. 4 and No. 2 at
Virginia, yesterday, which excited much in
terest. Water was taken from the cistern
near Sutliffe's New Music Hall, on C street.
The trial as to distance in throwing resulted
in No. is throwing $50 feet with an inch and
an eighth nozzle, and lS5 feet with an inch
nozzle and on bet of 800 that No. could
throw 200 feet, she wet Chief Larkin (who
took position at that distance) about the
shoulders. Subsequently No. 4 washed"
No. 2, and also " sucked her dry" which was
gracefully acknowledged by No. Us boys by
sending fox-tail up to No, 4. Although
there was considerable excitement on the oc-
casion, everything passed off pleasantly and
tremendously. Both machines did splendid
", and Chief Larkin, in order to give the
boys an opportunity of becoming more IA
miliar with working their engines, will have
the whole department out next Sunday, when
there will doubtless be an exciting time, and
some tall throwing done.
For THE ARAY.-It is a fact not gener-
ally known that the Silver City Guards
Capt. Perry-have furnished twenty men to
the Union army. Out of this number, two
are Captains, three Lieutenants, and Of the
remainder seven are non-cOmmisSioned Off
GERS. We doubt whether there is a military
company on the Pacific Coast, which has done
better than this, and it is certainly worthy
matter of pride, not only for the Company
but for the people of Silver City.

THE ranchmen and woodcutters are taking |
