THE EVENING NEWS

county, The reason OF TINS lHlhiense Iusu
of business is found in the fact tnat the Legs
lature, two years ago, passed a law ProEiuihs
that all causes of action IN existence at tnat
time should be barred by the statute OF nml-
ration. unless suit WIS commenced within
tyyo vrarS from the Dist dav of November,
1851. The time expired on the 2lst instant,
THOUGH il is the opinion of some attorneys
that certain provision in the Act extends
the period until the Sd of December; but in
order to be on the safe side, most prudent
LAWYERS got their complaints in, in season to
avoid all dispute. There will no doubt be a
number filed vet, before the Sd of next month,
and, in fact, there is but little doubt that they
will be in ample time.
AssAYER FOR PALMYRA.-Mr L. Solo
mon, we understand, is about to open an
assaying establishment at Como, in the Pal
myra Mining District. The enterprising
spirit shown by this gentleman will doubtless
be well repaid. The great mass Of the Lodges
in that district are as yet undeveloped, and
an immense amount of aSSaying will naturally
follow. Besides, the new quartz mill, being
erected by Mr.. Mette, must be nearly or
quite finished, and being one of the finest
mills in the Territory, will turn out large
amounts of bullion, all of which will pass
through this office. We expect soon to hear
good news from Palmyra Mining District.
It is well known to all practical men who
have visited the mines there that it is a rich
mineral region, containing large number Of
rich and extensive lodges, and when this mill
starts up, the outside world will probably hear
from them.

"THE RoNG HoSs."-An amusing scene
came off on B street, Virginia, yesterday.
An inebriated Frenchman who had left his
horse hitched to 4 post on the west side Of the
street, on returning mounted fiery mustang,
with Spanish bit in its mouth, and the scene
that followed is indecribable. 1treSulted-in
Frenchman laid full length upon the ground,
who, picking himself up and eyeing the steed
on which he didn't ride, eXclaimed-"Be gar
grutilhomneS-I make Won Sacre damn meeS-
taik-zat esS re rong cheval-vOt you call
hoss-bv gar, me cheval no :hump 'roun Eat
vayw He finally mounted his own nag and
departed amid the cheers of the crowd.
D. D's.-There were quite number of
drunk and discrderlics in Virginia last even
ing. One fellow was so good and drunk that
the sidewalk not being wide enough, he took
the middle Of the street, and as he had some
what the appearance of sailor, the boys
amused themselves by holloaing starboard,
port your helm, larboard, lutf you lubber, etc,
At hin-all Of which ne did most admirably.
At about II o'clock we found another, who
had made port and dropped anchor in the
doorway Of 4 store on the west side OF Z
street. He was probably picked M and lowed
to the Station House by some policeman.
Two Observation-Disclosures that it
hasn't been much OF rime for robberies
lately, Captain Page was made to disgorge
$500 in gold coin, YESTERDAY, near Empire
CITY, and on Saturday Mr.. W. 7. Porter was
robbed near the same place of $50 in coin,
watch. cigar case, and some valuable papers:
These fellows stretch ropes across the road
after night so as to bring equestrians to the
ground. and then they pounce upon them,
and if the least resistance is shown, their
victims are cruelty beaten.
ScRIMMAGE.-A fight occurred last even
ing at the Progress Restaurant, on c street,
Virginia. A man by the name OF Bowers
and two companions, all under the influence
of liquor, went into the above restaurant, and
began breaking crockery, when the proprietor
forcibv elected all three into the street. In
the melee, chairs, decanters, &c, were
brought into requisition, and the windows
and glass doors suffered severely.
MrD.-Mud is no longer King at Virginia,
his sceptre hath departed, and ice reigns su-
preme. Warm fires and hot whiskcys are
all the go. Ye occupation of ye valiant boot
black has again become renuneratlye, and
the streets again look cheerful, from the pre-
sence of the continually passing and repass-
ing ladies', who have taken this opportunity
to do their shopping. All hail, the reign Of
ice. say we.
