the poet, and it may possibly be so but it is
morally certain that nobody wants broken
neck. Somebody, however, will get one some of
these dark nights, while walking abstracty
down our principal street. From the steep de.
clevty of the street, the sidewalk in front of each
building is several feet higher than next below
and in few instances are there steps from to
the other The expense of constructing such
would be triHing, and for the want of them we
daily expect to chronicle some painful accident

would be generally followed

STREET CRoSSINGS.-As far advanced rs Vir-
ginia is in many other things, she is far behind
the times in the matter Of street crossings. This
fact has forced Itself upon our attention by the
present stopping condition of our streets.

4 Sure INDICATIoN.-The Sacramento
Union of last Saturday has a long article
about matters and things in this Territory,
from which we give the following:
at would appear from the report Of cases
tried and to be called for trial, that nearly
every valuable claim east OF the mountains
is involved i'll one or more lawsuits. At and
about Virginia and Gold Hill, many OF the
the Aurora region the production Of the
mines is almost suspended in consequence Of
the numerous suits which have caused COM
panics to cease operations i'll the Humboldt
district lcgtl controversies have been inan-
guratcd, while at Reese River 4 plentiful
crop OF law eases are indicated by the signs
OF the times: Can 10 plan be devised which
will put an end to SO mauv vcNatlous and en-
pensive lawiuits in the land Of silver =
For the benefit OF the Union and all those
who contemplate investing in feet, we will
give them a short piece Of advice. Never
buy at any price foot of mining stock in
claim that is not involved in a lawsuit. II
claim is not so involved it is 4 certain sign
that it is not worth having. The first qucs
ton asked by the sagacious buyer is is
the claim in litigation :" Unanswered mega
lively the wise man scorns that stock and
avoideth the same, even as pitch which de-
fleth the fingers Of him who toucheth the
unclcan thing.
