coasting on a vehicle with runners, is the
kind we refer to, and which was enjoyed
to its fullest extent last evening by all who

New England lasses, did not venture to
trust their pretty selves to that kind OF 10.

of the voyage. and away you go, at light

will encounter huge snow-drift, while
hats, coats, bonnets, feminine apparel Of
every description, with the wearer, will
be scattered promiscuously around. That's

HoMcIDE.-After a long fast from that
kind of diet, the people of Gold Hill had
"a man f or breakfast once more this
morning. Michael Madden, alas mickey
Free" and Chas. Smith were engaged in a
game of cards IN saloon nearly opposite
the Bank Exchange, when a difficulty
arose between them, and Smith stabbed
Mickey TO the heart. He died in about
twenty minutes afterwards. This hap
pened about three o'clock this morning.
At ten o'clock We passed the place, and
Mickey was still lying upon the floor
stark and stiff in his gore. Smith was in
the calaboose, and Judge Hall was making
preparations for holding an inquest. The
other Hall Told Alky) was probably at
the bottom of the affair.
p. S.-There is a slight error in the
above. 1t is Coroner Tucker who is hold
ing the inquest. As the Grand Jury are
in session, there will be no preliminary
examination Of Smith.
LOST, SrRAYED OR SToLEN.-Our friend
Tommy, of Wells, Fargo S Co.'s Express,
is in mouning-he is sad, and cold lunch
has lost its taste, and bright eyes their
beauty. Boston got purp, some time
ago, lovely little pattern of some dorg,
unknown to fame; he took that purp to

him. His name was Blitz, and if spright-
" WAYS and winning waggishness would
ever endesr purp, than did Blitz just fill
the bill. Some bloody butcher has nipped
him; and perhaps, ere this, We reporter
hath feasted on his savory carcass. Should
he have escaped, so foul fate, and should
any mariner hear his bark on any sea, he
win be hberaly rewarded if he will cast
hawser over Blitz and tow him to GER
tain port.
About REESE R1vER.-.We had the
pleasure of conversing with gentleman
just from Reese last evening. He assures
us that the half of the richness of the
mines there has not been told, new lodges
are constantly being discovered, and In
Smoky Valley District particularly. some
recent strikes have been made that sur
pass anything hitherto known. Work of
all kinds is being rapidly pushed forward,
and the mines are constantly being more
and better developed. In substantiation
of this, NAV be reckoned the rapidly in
creasing amounts Of bullion that is being
shipped through Wells, Fargo s Co., to
Virginia and San Francisco. In the early
spring we look to see large emigration
TO the silver land" beyond the Deserts.

BULLION SHIPMENTs.-The Office Of
Wells, Fargo & Co., at this place has for
warded for the months of September, Oc-
tober and November, bullion valued ac-
eording to assay at S626,S79 Is. We
are indebted to Major Hale for the above
statistical information, which is a conclu-
sive proof that our mines at Gold Hill
are "paying institutions" as the above
amount does not include more than one
fourth Of the actual amount taken from
the mines, large proportion being ship
ped at Virginia. Well let it come, who

AMusENsNrs.-Virginia is entirely des-
titute of amusement at this time, the Me-

boy again.
