lWaShOc county,, attracted deserved atten-
,inn at the recent Territorial fair. The Pea
Vine district, although heretofore little
known or spoken of, can at least fairly COM
pete with, if not excel in the quantity and
guilty of its ore, the richest copper mines Of
California. The above named company,
through its President, d. Lanzweert, exhibit
ed the first. large bar of copper ever Smelt-
cd in the Territory, if not the finest on the
Pacific Coast. This bar, (Which now lies up
on our tablc), is the result of twelve pounds
of rock, and a<>uv>-cOpper, j4,13 o.; gold,
22ct>.: silver. 47ctS. The jury at the fair
properly awarded to this company three
premiums, and two diplomas for their eNhib-
il of metals and ores. We are satisfied, that
through the energy Of its President and the
assistance of our cnterpriSing capitalists, this
company will soon become dividend paving
institution. Some Ofthe ore will be in demand
at our mills to assist in the reduction of sill
yer ores, especially the grey Sulphrte>), and
the balance will be shipped to the States.
The mines are within two and a half miles OF
the HrnueSS Pass road, and will furnish re-
turn freight 10 our feet of mountain Schoon-
ers. The lodges are already from ,! to 81
feet wide, and the aggregate value of the rock,
per ton-gold, silver and copper, is $50.

THEArRICAL.-We notice the arrival Of
powerful dramatic troupe at Virginia, COM
pri>ing number of bright particular stars
of the Pacific Coast. Banjo and burnt cork
will retire for season from MagIire's Opera
House, and give way 10 the legitimate drama.

II. A. Perry, Mrs. Claughiey, Miss Fanny
Howard, J. B. Booth, c. K. ThOrne, l.. +.
Beatty, ID. Il. anderson, J. W. Thoman, F.

QrIEr.-With the sudden fall of the mer-
cury, the moral standard of the people seems
u rise; whence we conclude that hot whisky
is less incentive to assault and battery, lar
ceuy and raising the devil generally, than the
same article taken in the shape OF cObblerS.
Our town was quiet, peaceuhle aud orderly
last night, not a single arrest was made, and
the Police Court this morning had no male
factor to dispose of.
The GRoScH" SrIT.-The heirs, execu-
tors, administrators and assigns of Grosch,
the individual who is alleged to have dug
cathode somewhere in this Territory, before
its discovery by the whites, and who went
home to Germany and died from the effects,
have instituted suit against the occupants Of
the ComStock ledge, claiming the modest
sum of Sj,00O000 back rents. Don't they
wish they may get it.
The WEAruER--LaSt night was the cold
est of the season thus far. Early riSers in
this burgh, found ice of considerable thick
neSs in their wash-basins. Winter is giving
us warming of its speedy approach, and those
who have not 4 dead thing on comfortable
winter quarters, had as well DE preparing
for a general Skedaddle across the SierraS.
IcE.-The sidewalks of Virginia were
covered this morning in many places with a
thin coating of ice, and we noticed that it
struck several people quite fOrcibly, if we
NAV Judge BY the grimaeeS they made while
rcgaining their perpendiculars. This is the
first ice of the SeaSOn-the first gentle touch
of winter; or, in other words, the old fellows
card-and he will probably soon follow.
RrxAwAY.-About 9 o'clock last night, a
team ran away from the upper end Of town,
and came rushing down Main street at flu
rious rate until they reached near the Nesey
House, where they were stopped. No dam
age done.
HOLD Your NOsEs.-We advise people
passing along the east side Of B street, Fir-
ginia, TO hold their noses, as that intolerable
stencil is son the shoulder" and Liable to
knock one down at any moment.
SOME POLL TAx.-On Saturday the Gould
& Curry company paid over in gold to Almon
Hovey, ESQ.,, the sum of s., 5SS, poll-tax on
six hundred and fOrty-seyen wOrkmen, for the
year ending next May.
4 BIG SCARE.-The citizens Of Como
have had another big scare about the lndi-
ans. This is not the first time soldiers have
been needleSSly called there from the Fort.
FIRE-A fire broke ont in small frame
building on A street, Virginia, last night, but
was eXtinguiShed with Il few buckets Of water
before the engines arrived on the ground.
CELESTIAL.-Another row took place In
Hong Kong, Virginia, last night, but as it
consisted principally in words, we could get
no description of it.
FUNERAL-The remains of George Ru-
