FRIDAY EyENING..OCT. I6.

amounted to the sum of sixty-four dollars,
this morning, between the hours Of II and 4
o'clock, took leave of their landlord rather in
an unceremoniOus manner, and which Will
perhaps serve as n warning to other boarding
house keepers. After stealing several pairs
of blankets off the beds which they had been
occupying, they stealthily invaded the bureau
drawer Of their benefactor, and robbed 1t OF
quantity of mining stock and some ready
cash, with all of which they made success
full retreat to some other region-Supposed to
be in the direction of Reese River. Our Wig
liant Town Marshal, Sam Arnold, on hearing
Of the larceny, about daylight, soon dispatch
ed officer Householder after the ungrateful
scamps, and it is to be hoped he will succeed
in overtaking them. The penitentiary is a
far better place for such characters than
Reese River.
S.-Oficer Householder succeeded in ar
resting these parties in Virginia this morning
about 5 o'clock, and found the stolen prop
ertv upon them. They were brought to town
at 10 o'clock, locked up, and will be brought
before Judge RObinson'S Court.
SoAP.-RatheI an amusing incident &C.
Cured last evening in frst-class furniture
establishment on C street, Virginia. The
only person belonging about the premises
who was present at the time, was busily en-
gagged in arranging some fancy articles, near
the rear of the building and in the rear Of
huge piles of furniture, bedding, etc. Seeing
a LADY enter the store and peer about inquir-
ingv, he made his way out through the mar
row winding passages among the furniture
with all possible alacrity, tearing his unmen-
tionableS in his haste, and very politely in
quired "what she would like to look at :"
Her reply, in pure French, WAS as follows:
"Shure Mr., an w'ud wees be afther shown
me some O yer best brown soap" Com
pletelv taken down, he turned away from her
with the intent of making himself scarce IN
those parts, when he was brought to halt
with, "Sav, MiSther, Soft-Soap will do me,
and (raiSing her voice. what might the differ
encc in the coSht be-" BY this time our
polite salesman was out Of sight and hearing,
and his customer retired soliloquizing thus,
bad cess to wees, We dirty spalpeen-and go
to the divil wild yer dirthy Ould soap for all l
cares"
OMHIBrs LISES.-The Gold Hill and Vir-
ginia omnibus lines are among the institu-
ions of WashOe, ane have secured for them
selves the appreciation of the travelling public.
Ii is hardly necessary, but we viii state that
they run from early morn till late at night,
and thereby accommodate men of business
and pleasure seekers. Two or more stages
wait in front of Maguire'S Opera House every
evening TO bring passengers home after the
close Of the performance. The best feature,
however, is the careful as well as accOmmoda-
ting drivers, in the latter respect deserving of
thanks for their obliging qualities and gener-
pus dispositions. The DAILY News is in
debtcd to them for many examples of this
kind, and takes the present occasion 10 speak
its CratefulneSS for the many favors shown II
QrIEr.-Comparativcly speaking, the town
of Gold Hill is model of propriety in all that
pertains TO law and order. Seldom do we
have to chronicle 4 more aggravated case OF
disobcdiencc than drunk or disorderly, and
these, We think, are fewer here than in any
other town of the size. We speak of this be-
cause the number of our locals are considera-
hlv diminished, and we know the people have
Il better appetite for the sensational than they
do for dry, unpalatable matter. All We can
saw is, If such be our readers choice, we
would suggest to them the performing of some
frightful tableau in which the characters may
have all the interest of novel, and give us
an opportunity to dress them up. We Will
promise to do you justice in the event of any
denoucment which YOU may see proper to have
occur.
RrSAwAY.-Yesterday afternoon, four hor-
ses attachedto California wagon, came rush
ing down Main street at furious rate. As
the driver was trying to stop the horses, one
Of them made sudden turn, throwing the
driver from his seat underneath the wheels,
which passed over his body. Strange to say,
he was not seriously hurt, and as soon as he
was able to gather himself up, resumed his
place on the wagon. In the meantime, the
horses had brought up at the Grey Hound Sa-
loon, and were resting from their fright when
the driver reached them.
ATTEMPT TO TAMPER WITH JCRY.-At
the opening of the District Court yesterday
morning, His Honor Judge North, informed
those present that to his great chagrin he
had learned that certain party interested IN
the cause now on trial, had approached one Of
the Jurors. His Honor was proud to say
that said Juror had informed him of the fact
something which he trusted would be done
in other cases of the kind. Should another
instance occur, it would be Investigated to the
bitter end.
REESE RIVER, Ho!-Eleven prairie schoon-
ers from Sacramento, passed through Fir-
Cinia this morning, at eight o'clock, bound
for the new Ell Dorado. Two Of them were
double-deckerS, or in other words, had
smaller craft in tow aStern, making thirteen
wagons in all. They were laden with grocer
les and provisions, mining tools and whisky
principally whisky.
WAsuoE GUARDs.-This new military
company will take a benefit at Maguire's
Opera House, on Monday night, when it is to
be expected that full house will attend them
on the occasion. We know of no more wor-
thy object upon which the hberality of the
community can be shown than this, and we
would say to every one, go and give dollar
on Monday night without fail, that the lrst
military organization Of the Territory may
be benefited thereby
FAwcErr-The examination Of Fawcett
before Judge Wetherell yesterday terminated
in his honorable acquittal. He was defended
BY Messrs. Edgerton and Seely. The testi-
mony of the witnesses, and the aeknowiedg-
ment of Miller before his death, established
the fact beyond all doubt, that the act was
committed entirely in self-defense.
RrNAwAY.-An individual whose name we
wore unable to learn, while driving through
one of the lower streets of Virginia, last eve
ming, went at rather more accelerated rate
Of sneed than he bargained for, resulting in a
smashed buggy, big scare, and few
scratches.
