THE EVENING NEWS.

Hill NEWS-DOnI YOU hnVm AoN IiS L.''.S
boys try to catch birds by putting salt on their
tais; I'd advise YOU to try little Pepper"
and salt when the Gold Hill News arrives at
YOUR office, or YOU might put small bit of
:. Pepper" on it by itself, as l know you to
keep on hand a small Skin-full of that article.
I am sure YOU will not have cause to growl
after yoa try that remedy. And beware you
don't accuse my young Hen of non-delivery
of our paper; he may show his teeth and
claws, ave, and use them too, if you handle
hin, as roughly as you did your amiable
"golden haired" (mind that, now,) BENE-
FACTOR.
A CITIZEN MIssING.-On last Tuesday
night, Mr.. A. L. Johnson, Mill owner Of
Dayton, and an old pioneer Of this Territory
as well as prominent and well liked citi-
zen, left Gold Hill for Dayton on foot, he
went down from here in the bus, he had
about $1,000 on his person in money and
checks, and has not been heard from since,
unless he was found last night, or this MORN
ing. He lived for some time at Silver City,
is the principal owner Of the Pioneer claim
which is the oldest location in Devils Gate
District. He was the discOverer OF IT. Inc
citizens of DAYTON and Silver City were
searching for him all day yesterday, and
every shaft and tunnel between Gold Hill
and Silver City was examined.
BOVINE INcIDENT.-LaSt night, Messrs.
Abel and Bates were aroused from their
balmy slumbers, by a terrific and unaccount-
:able noise, on the roof of their domicil, which
seemed to give way beneath tremendous
pressure. Rushing forth, they beheld, on
tor of the house an OK, which IN descending
the steep side of the mountain had Slipped,
and came down with a rush, landing on the
tenement aforesaid, to the great danger Of
scrushinu the same and "squashing" the in
mates. We believe they have got him down
. out o that.
WooD-Likc the price of freights. that Of
wood seems 10 depend on the weather. Let
it be tctcgraphed TO Sacramento that small
cloud was seen this morning to float over the
Sierra Nevada mountains, and frelghtS take
rise and let a little snow fall here, and tire
wood is troubled with the same complain t..
There is no necessity for these fluctuations IN
the wood market of Virginia, rs there IS
good supply of that article on hand within
the limits of the city. 1t certainly works
great Injury TO poor people, who are not able
10 lay in a winters Supply.
