THE EVENING NEWS.


near the rear and thanked by his porch, a
Frenchmap of very eXcitable temperament
has stable, in which he keeps 4 poor old
skeleton of i horse, barrel OF well matured
whisky and little hay. During the morn
ing one of our German friends clerks accl-
IDENTIFY upset barrel of water OFT the porch
aforesaid on top of the Frenchman'S stable; ;
which, going through the roof, nearly
drowned the poor horse, ruined the hay,
and completed the watering OF the whisky
to such an extent as 70 render 1t taSteleSS.
On entering the stable Gallo found his horse
plentifullv fcStOoned with icicleS, and his hay
ruined thinking to console himself or dro WI
his troubles in the flowing bowl, he drew big
horn from his barrel and raising it to his
lips hc-Sac,e damn! del eau mine reeSky-

knew nothing about it, on the threshold with

THE STREETS.-From dust to mud, from
whirling, binding, choking clouds Of dust in
the air, to mud and mire under foot, is from
the nature OF our soil an easy and rapid trans
ition. On Friday last, we were complaining
bitterly of the dust that rendered our houses
as well as our streets almost uninhabitable.
That night and nearly all day on SATURDAY it
showed, and the weather being frosty the
travelling in the streets was rather more
pleasant and the air was breathable. On
Sunday morning, the weather had become
moderated the snow melted, and Main street,
in Gold Hill, was 4 mass OF mud and slush.
Unless we should have more snow or rain,
however. owing to the slight inclination of
the main thoroughtare, the mud and water
will hardly remain many days to either annoy
pedestrians, or beSpatter teams and their
drivers. As between mud and the awful gust
OF wind and dust, which prevailed on Friday,
We prefer the mud.
MYSTERGoUS.-We are informed by
neighbor in whose veracity we have every
confidence, that at recent 50 test crushing
of rock from ledge in this vicinity, made
at one of our mills, the mill men were as
founded at finding that some pieces Of
native" silver were so large that they would
not pass through the screen. Upon further
examination some of these pieces Of "nGtive"
silver from this rich claim, bore certain let
ers and figures familiar TO the accustomed
eve, as those usually employed BY aSsaycrs
10 stamp their bars. We were invited to visit
the mill and see these wonders of metallurgv
but had not the leisure time. " e shall do
50, however, and If we are fully satisfied from
ocular demonstration that our informant is
not mistaken we shall be very likely 10 speak
ore explicitly OF the phenomenon.
MARX TwAIN.-This fayoritc writer is
melancholy" he has got the mulligrubs.
"Where be his iibes, now: his gambolS
his flashes OF merrimCnt that were wont to
set Virginia in a roar Not one now to
mock his Own grinuing: Quite ch0p-facn:'
!Builv for ShlkeSpeare.) We hav'nt had
good square Joke out Of poor Mark these
fnur or five DAYS. He sits behind tt0t his
toric pine table morose and melancholy, and
driakin- mean whisky to drown his misery.
Cheer up, friend Mark the courier brings the
welcome news that all is quiet at Dutch

INCREASE OF FARE.-The price OF fare on
rhe OIaaibus line between this place and Eir-
,-inia has been increased TO fifty cents, oc-
Cas;oninc quite i little confusion and some
dissatisfaction. However, i these people
would take into consideration that six horses
are now required instead offour, that hay and
barley are increasing in price, and that rs
the rjads become cut up, tn" Omni5uSes re-
o,lire repairing much oftcner, they would
perceive that what was barely hymg price
in summer would be rrrinouSly losing ope-
ration in winter. This hneiS great accom-
mediation to the public, and the motto " Live
and let live" is applicable.
CRuEL.-Yesterday afternoon we observed
a teamster endeayoring to pull very
heavy load up Union street, Virginia, from
G. 70 L. all the fOOthold the poor horses had
was slush and ice, and although they tried
over and over again to their utmost, they
could not pull it, vet they were lerked about
and beaten most numerically. Men certainly
should use more Judgment in loading, and
further-thev will find on trial that kindness
is not thrown away, when shown to animals.
AMERICAN FLAT.-The miners at Ameri-
can Flat are full of confidence that their
claims are upon the main Comstock ledge
and are iudulging in high hopes Of rich
strikes. The Gilmore company, which IS
the middle one of the Cincinnati claims have
struck the ledge at a depth of forty feet. The
Iedpe is twelve feet wide and excellent rock
is being taken out. The Cincinnati company
expect to strike it at lI5 to 200 feet
