UPsEr.-About noon, to-day, as the
Dayton stage was vending its way up
the Main street of Gold Hill, with four
passengers on the inside, and one on the
outside with the driver, and just as it was
opposite Wells, Fargo & Co.'S office, and
where the fteShet has washed rut into
the middle of the street at least twenty
feet IN depth, the wheels on one side of
the coach suddenly slipped into the rut,
and over she went. The outside passen-
gel, (MilGnEton, the dancing MASTER
jumped Of, and "saved his bacon" but
the four inside passengers, two being Ia
dies, were all thrown up in heap. The
whole affair was as easy as falling off
log. and all passed off without any dam
age, except getting slightly scared and
sprinkled with mud.
\ THIEF NIPPED.-Asa Waugaman, of
the FL Dorado Saloon, { street, Virginia,
has been losing sums of money from his
till for the past few months, and not
knowing whom to accuse, placed the mat
ter in the hands of detective officer
Lackey, who has been watching for the
thief for the past month, but unsuccessful
until this morning, when he succeeded in
catching the cook of the establishment in
the very act of theft. Waugaman took
pity on the fellow and allowed him to
quit the country, and we forbear publish
ing his name, as he has respectable con-
nections and family in California. Much
credit is due officer Lackey for his efforts
in ferreting out the thief.
OPP FELLOWS BALL.-In connection
with the ceremonies of dedication Of Odd
Fellows Hall to-day, the craft, like the |
balance Of humanity, propose to give a
ball this evening. which we predict will be
one of the finest affairs of the year. The !
room in which the ball takes place Is |
ample, ample notification has been given
the world that ball would take place,
ample are preparations for large crowd,
and amid the amplitude Of crinolnes we
propose to push our ample proportions
this evening, and attend the ball of the
Odd Fellows. As Jean Crappeau would
say, "vat languze."
RECORDERS COURT, VIRGINIA.-Judge
Davenport had before him Jacob NJ. Ra-
peppo, who was arrested on a warrant,
charged with having committed an assault
and battery upon the person Of little
girl eight years of age, in taking improper |
liberties with her person. The testimony |
in the case tends TO show that some one |
had been tampering with the childs per- |
son, and is Of an improper character to
report. The case IS still on trial.
The Common Council of Virginia met
last night and did several things, as well
as left several things to do. Among the
things which were done was the settle
ment Of rent of Engine House No. 8. No
matter, the city is good for 1t, as one OF
the learned gentlemen comprising that
Industrious conclave has frequently re-
marked. Yes, my friend, the city IS good,
bu, like the other good fellow-it has fall
len among thieves.
BILLIARD ToURNANEST.-Pat Lynch oi
the Niagara Saloon, north B street, will
give a grand billiard tournament during
the coming Holidays, and will offer several
fine prizes to the best amatuer player, full
particulars of which we will in future give
the public. The game Of billiards IS
scientific one, and is rapidly growing into
favor.
An ApoLosY.-In an article which ap-
neared in the News relative TO the cave OF
the Chollar wall, we made it appear that
the Superintendent was in bed with his
wife. We were wrong-this gentleman
has no wife, sometimes-and feels deeply
agrieved. We apologize, and ask pardon
- +be po,os; folks generally, for reporting
