Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1863-10-31
WAGON UPsEr.-It is not our wish to use

nearly opposite the ChOlIar mine. 10 eS-
plain: there are several places in that por-
ton of the highway which may be termed
chuck holes or rutS, which should be filled up
with gravel-which improvement would less
endanger the lives of persons, travelling in
omnibusses; and would be safer for teams
which, after travelling over the mountains,
and are Just entering Virginia, run greater
chance Of upSetting Just as they get in sight
of the end of their journey. A Six-horse
team Yesterday afternoon actually upset its
whole cargo right into the street, at the very
point named, more or less damaging the
goods. 1t is "nOne of our funeral" for real
" we live in Gold Hill, which corporation
has nothing to do with that of Virginia, but
for the credit and fair but somewhat bloody,
name of our sister town, let the street COM
missioner do his duty.
SourH c SrREET.-We notice quite num-
Der improvements on South street, among
which are several fine fre-prOof bricks, which
are Just receiving the finishing touches-the
foundations and lower floors which are being
laid for large wooden building adjoining
the White House on the south, and the fine
improvement to S. A. Chapman'S building at
the lumber yard, constitute a part. We OBJ
served also, that several workmen were eu-
gagged LAYING gaS-pipe, so as to extend the
connection southwark beyond the lumber
ward, and we could not help comparing the
appearance of that locality three years ago,
when those lots might have been had for put
ting fence around them, with that of the
present. Virginia has certainly grown be-
yond all precedent, vet the foundation is
there, and she will keep on until the two
towns shall have joined to form the me
tropolis of the new State of WashOe.
TELL THAT To THE MARINEs.-The But-
Leti,, tells the people that that the City Sex
ton of Virginia is in a state of most abject
poverty and starvation because, forSooth, I'M
happy soul, his occupations gone; tnat peo-
pie "won't die in Virginia" What do you
do with all your murdered men up there? If
there is trade in the world that ought to
keep man on the jump, the sextonship of
Virginia City ought. Virginia reporters are
awful men TO- joke.
THE FIRST Snow Of the season whitens
our streets and roofs and the lofty peaks
that tower above us, and lies in drifted heaps
in door-ways, window-SillS, &C., giving an
emphatic warming that Winter is close upon
US, Warm clothing and heavy boots are IN
brisk demand, and those whose winter resi-
denceS are on the west side of the "moun-
tains of deep snow" had better be moving
thltherwardS.
Mount DAvIDSoS.-This prominent peak,
and twin-brothers, this morning presented
4 rather ghoSt-likc appearance, having for
the first time this season assumed its winter
habilimentS. Ii the panoramaS of the Alps,
which we have seen in our time, were cor
haar
striking resemblance 10 that portion of them
where Napoleon the Grea1 and his army en-
countered the fatal Snow-Storm.
SLEIGH-RIDING.-The first gay and fes-
tive sleighinS party Of the season passed our
Office this forenoon. 1t consisted of two indi-
viduals who have not the honor of our &C
Quaintancc. Their turnout was not exactly
a Third Avenue rig, but their Steed looked as
though he could go good deal less than
mile in three minutes.
SroCK REPoRT.-Iu the haste of setting
up the Virginia stock report yesterday, the
printer made several typographical errors,
which We shall take care shall not happen
again. For instance, that bully" stock, the
Belcher, WAS put down at $50 bid and $50
asked, while in fact the stock is so good,
owners won't sell hardly at any price.
DASGERoUs.-There is a dangerous hole
about eight inches square, in the sidewalk
on the east side Of street, Virginia, which
should be closed up Immediately. as we may
have a broken leg to record, and that city
bill Of damages to settle.
IMPRovING.-We are informed this morn
ng that Mr.. Horace Smith who was wound
ed in the late atfray by Mr.. johnson, is i'm
proving so much that his friends ARE quite
sanguine of his recovery. His wound, how
ever, is very serious, much more so than was
at first supposed.
ALMOST A FIRE. \ tar-barrcl sitting
near the stove in the liquor cellar at No. 80
North c street, Virginia, caught fire night
before last, and was only eXtinguished with
the greatest difficulty. 1t created quite an
excitement and big smoke i'll the immediate
vicinity for some time.

account.
THAT Posr AGAIN.-Quite number Of
praire -chooners went ashore on that post at
the corner of B and Union streets, Virginia,
yesterday, and one of them was pretty badly
"stove." BY ''backing and filing" however,
she finally got off.
