THE EVENING NEWS.


A Row.-we are informed by an eye
witness of the affair that there was quite
a row yesterday afternoon in the lower
part of town, that might have ended seri-
ously but for timely interference. 1t APP
pears that resident of that locality had
some sort of trouble with his wife and
sought 10 end the same by shooting the
ton Of her head of. With that intent he
fred one shot at her, missing her. when
her outcries attracted crowd. The wo-
man was taken care of BY other ladies Of
the neigh borhood, while the male portion
of the crowd put arope around the shoot
er's neck. and proceeded as though they
would have hanged him ineontinently.
At this the cuiprit did most Justify be-
wall himself and promised 10 amend his
daily walk and conversation, and was re-
leased upon parole. Our informant sug-
gests that If our police would extend their
beat to that quarter of the town, they may
some day prevent an imitation of the Day
ton style Of doing things.
ACAPrAIS on THE RANPAeE.-Yester-
day afternoon a Captain from Fort
Churchill came to this town and got
drunk Tor was drunk when he came) and
made magnificent ass of himself. He
insulted both men and women, and -four
ishsd cooked pistol in the faces of sew
ersl citizens, threatening death and all
nlinoncalamities to the community indis-
eriminately. No police were around at
the time, and he was suffered to depart
and take a nap. When he woke up he
started his devilment again, and the police
being on hand, took the military hero,
elapped him into the calaboose and ironed
him. When wepassed that institution at
six o'clock he was making an uproarious
hullabaloo. and trying to batter down the
gratings. 1t is unnecessary to state that
be did not succeed. He is an ornament to
the service. and we call the attention Of
the commander of the Department to his
merits.
CIRcus. = Tonight and tomorrow
night, Wilson s Zoyara's Circus are to
perform at Gold Hill. As we write this
notice, the attaches of the Institution are
preparing the ground opposite our office.
We miss the "tan-bark" however. In
the old Eastern town where we gained our
first experience of a Circus, the "ring"
was always provided with a heavy layer
of tan-bark, and the odor thereof has ever
since been inseparably connected with the
mention of Circus. Our Virginia cotem-
poraies speak highly of Wilson s 10Y
ara's troupe especially of the Carlos
family.
THE DsNocRAcY.-We learn that the
Democracy lord save the mark y of Sto-
rey county, nightly hold a council at
some Buzzard Roost, and have come to
the conclusion to put.a county ticket in
the field at the next election. II IS also
rumored that they claim several of the
candidates now on the Union Ticket as
belonging to their party, which, if reports
are correct, they can do with very good
grace. A candidate. however, who can
command Copperhead votes, is hardly FIT
10 be on Union Ticket
A TERRIBLE AccIDESr.-Mr. Samuel
Langton, well-known in connection with
Langton's Express Company, met with a
terrible accident last night near Silver
City. In endeayoring to pass with his
sulky an OK team heavily loaded with lum-
Der, he was caught against the bank, his
sulky crushed and himself thrown beneath
the wheels of the wagon. His right leg
was crushed so terribly that amputation
was and the operation was performed by
DIR. Tjader, of Carson. Mr.. Langton lies
at the Golden Gate in great suffering.
RErrRSED.--Our townsman, F. Birge,
Esq, returned from the East yesterday,
hale and hearty. He expresses himself
highly pleased with his visit to the East.
Our readers viii remember that he was a
Delegate to the Baltimore Convention.
Fred. was true to his trust, he favored and
worked for the denomination of Uncle
Abe.
The CATHOLIC FAIR had crowded
house last night, and is proving decided
success. It continues open this evening
and Monday, and closes with Ball on
Monday evening. We hope that by that
time none of our citizens will have omit
ted to patronize the Fair.
