BrEGLARY.-LaSt night Mr. p. Lamar,
whose residence IS on + street, Virginia, left
home with his wife, to visit Masuire'S theatre.
As the Menkcn was sick, no performance
was given. and they shortly returned 70 their
residence On nearing the house, Mr.
Lamar noticed Il light shining through
the curtains Of one OF the windows, and
thinking the house had BY some means
caught nrc inside, he rushed up to the door
and at one kick burSted it open. As ne oId
so, he saw 4 man rush out the back way, to
whom, although unarmcG, he gave chase.
However. the burglar was too feet OF foot for
him, and escaped. Returning TO his house.
Mr.. Lamar and his wife proceeded To take an
account Of stock" when they found that
the whole house had been completely ran
sacked and everything in it, composed of the
precious metals. gObb,ed M. Mr.. Lamar
does not know exactly how much money WAS
taken, but thinks there was but few
dollars about the house. Two or three gold
pens and pencils, breaSt-pln, and several
other articles Of jcwelry, belonging to Mrs.
Lamar. were taken; also 4 long list OF other
articles. chiefly valuable as being the gifts OF
friends and relations. The beds, clothing
in fact. everything in the house. was turned
topSv turyv. Mr.. Lamar could very easily
have shot the burglar when he first discovered
him. had he been armed with pistol, bu'
unfortunately ne had no weapons Of any
kind.
An INCIDENTAL sad mishap befel 4 GER

SUNDAY. Anxious to participate in Il fune-
raj which had previously passed towards the
Catholic burial ground, ne procured horse
and buggy, and 50 eager was he 10 be III

cd in the ceremonies. The horse, from some
cause, TOOK fright, broke his iaStcnings. and
dashed away with Flora Temple speed. Half
= dozen horSemen gave chase. and the scene
presented was an exciting ono. The runa-
way animal finally drew the buggy against
boulder, and made " SmithereenS" of it.
When finally caught ne was encountered
with no part Of the vehicle, which was dis
e-iOuteG in pieces along the road for a as

SEGREGATED Crown PoIST CLAIM. -
This claim is situated between the Belcher
and the old Crown Point claim, from which
Inter this was segregated. This company
have had large sang Of hands at work for
several DAYS, grading down the hill! by their
incline, which is situated by the side Of the
road lust a short distance south OF the Grown
Point Mill. The hill at that place is very
steep and rocky. but the owners intend never
theless 10 grade in from the road far enough
10 make room 10 sink 4 shaft and erect hoist
inc works. To do so they Will have to make
a large excavation, and the cut on the back
end will be about forty feet deep. But where
there is a rich ledge 10 be had, anything
almost can be done, and as this company $
ledge is the same as the Belcher's, they have
good reason to feel confident Of finding their
portion of the ledge as rich as they have
struck it in that Company's claim.
THE DOC IAw.-The Town Marshal has
procured lot of neat little copper tags for
all the dogs in town-the new ordinance re-
curing every dog running at large to have a
tar on his neck The ordinance is now IN
force, and it would be well for all persons
owning dogs Of any value TO see that they are
tagged, or they will certainly be impounded.
The officers intend enforcing the law. The
report that the Virginia butchers had offered
10 engage this surplus source Of material Tor
sausages, is not fully onhrmed-although
Mark Twain and Dan de guile, two Of the
guardians of Virginia City, have been down
here DESTROYS of etecting negotiatlon.)
FEARFULLY RICH.-We yesterday saw a
lump, weighing two or three ounces, OF al
most pure silver, taken, we were told, from
the Uncle Sam mine, Gold Hill District.
How much of this kind OF stuff they may
have is more than we know, but had we few
thousand tons Of il we should rest content
ed until We could strike something. The
rich spot from which the specimen above al
luded to was taken, is At the end OF DRIFT
four hundred feet from the extraction shaft.
As the work OF development progresses this
mine is proving to be one Of immense value.
MORE FLowERS.-We noticed on B street,
Virginia, this morning, another lot OF flower
inc plants aud shrubs. This is the finest and
freshest lot we have seen. Inc rose bushes
and some Of the plants were just bursting
into bloom-a man with sprinkler had just
finished watering them, aud every leaf OF
every plant, as it drank in the grateful mois-
ture, appeared to show its gladuess by srnil-
ing in a freSher, more dewy green. These
flowers are TO be sold at auction tomorrow
They are all in pots.
CHAINED UP.-In front of Wright's Gif
Entertainment Establishment is to be seer
the huge silver brick, constituting the iirs
prize, chained to the wall by large band o.
iron fastened about its middle. We think
claiming it up was altogether supertiuous
the man who would steal such load as that
would be glad to drop it before going fart
would be worse than hot stove!
