ROBBERS ABorT.-Last night, about II
o'clock, the Waterman of the Central Mill,
up in Virginia, discovered three burglars
climbing up the roof of private dwelling
very near his "beat." Being armed with
shotgun, he took position, with "present
arms" and ordered the aforesaid burglc.urs
to come down. The Waterman asked them
,rho they were-,rhat they wanted-and ho,c
they felt Howi OF course they said they
were only "larking" little; that they
wasn't doing nothing" and begged the
Waterman only to let EN- go-and even
agreed to treat him, If she would only let
EN- 60" All Of which the guardian of the

Their names can be obtained at this office.

By washing the top dirt of the lead in rockers.
A good deal Of scratching about the lead has
been done, from time to time, since SO, End
TWO or three shafS and as many tunnels
started, but heretofore the claim appears to
have been badly managed. Now, however,
fine, substantial within is being erected, and
il is the intention Of those at present in charge
OF the work, to put down proper shaft and
proceed to the development in systematic
manner.
THE CALABoosE-MarshalA Arnold is evil
IDENTIFY expecting brisk police business this

bv adding two cells-one for female prison.
erS, and another for crazy DRINKS. The ad-
dition is constructed of heavy plank, firmly
spiked and rl:etted, making a solid
plank wall four inches in thickness.
Our Town, however, is a decidedly
moral and quiet one, and it is seldom our po-
lice or the calabOose are troubled or occupied
unless By temporary Stragglers from our me-
tropolitan neighbor. As 4 general thing ouI
community is very industrious and quiet, and
folks commit no depreda,ions.
CANINE IrEH.-The dog ordinance of Gold
Hill is now in full force, and We are informed
By Marshal Arnold that it will be carried out
TO the letter. He is constructing pound

and if not called for will be sold to the Nir-
GINA sausage market.

are the counsel for the defense.
HAMILTON PERRY, the lawyer whom the
Virginia police picked up in the streets night

have been at one time quite an able man, but
is now 4 mere wreck, both mentally and
physically.
AT present the stages from California are
not so crowded with passengers as they were
4 week ago. This is no doubt owing to the
snow squalls that have lately occurred on
the rrountains. The people Of California
very much dread being caught on the Sierras
in bad weather.
SOME of the vegetables now arriving from
California look as though two years DID,
During the trip over the mountains they evil
IDENTIFY encountered some frosty weather.
