THAT BEAR F1oHr.-Last evening while

ears to turn their steps toward Gods holy
sanctuary and a devout stream of mortal
ity was steadily flowing down Taylor
street, a brazen band stationed at the
front of the Opera House with loud noise
enticed the hesitating mortal to go thither,
and for the small sum of one dollar see a
big fight between a cinnamon bear eleven
months old, weighing only one hundred
and eighty pounds, and all the way from
Surprise Valley" and any dorg purp, cur,
bull or brindle hat needed arsenic for the
CANNES good. A crowd collected-sin-
ners were they-anybody-"on it" The
thea,er was very nearly filled in the dress
circle and a sprinkling below, when it was
asserted that Marshal J. V. B. Perry. I'M
der directions of the Mayor, would stop
the fight and arrest any and all owners,
relatives or friends to any dorg purp or
bull that might then and there be brought
to tear out Bruins eyes. The hour waxed
late, the audience waxed wroth, and the
bear, with swinging tread, marched a ma
iestic circle. Some cursed Jones, some
damned Perry. some swore a policeman
was a brute; out the Management, after a
long delay, concluded, rather than to re-
fund the money, to let slip the dogs of
war, and then try law before the Courts.
Accordingly at about nine o'clock a small
bull dog was let loose on Bruin, and for
about five minutes led his bearship around
the stage by his ear, but finally the 'bar'
got a fall on the dog, and his owner see
ing the probability of an early decease OF
his puIp, very considerably caught him
by the legs and with a rude jirk tore him
from Bruins friendly hug. Perry and
his posse then arrested all the "particeps
criminis," the lights were extinguished,
and a bigger blk was pronounced never
to have been seen in Virginia. You won't
find a man in the city this morning who
was at the bear fight last night.
FROM ExcELsIoR.-!This morning we
obtained the following facts from Mr.. c.
W. Young, o: Virginia, who has just re-
turned from a brief visit to Excelsior.
He showed us two specimens Of quartz,
which was literally covered with gold,
taken from the Enterprise claim att depth
of about sixteen feet from the surface,
where, for a distance of twenty-eight feet
in length and fifteen feet in width, q body
of very rich quartz has been opened which
may be supposed very properly to extend
to the granate formation, n distance OF
seventy feet. The pay ore exists in layers
of quartz, which widen as the ledge is de-
scended upon, and the owners of the
claim feel very jubilant over the very fiat
tering prospects of the present time. These
specimens before spoken Of, may be seen
at Young's jewelry store, South c street.
ACCIDENT Yesterday morning as a
heavily loaded six-horse team was passing
down Union street, Virginia, the brake
broke, and the horses, unable to hold the
load, went down towards Chinatown at
terrific speed, tearing down a fence in
their course. and finally bringing up in
the center of that odorous locality, "all
in a heap" killing one Of the horses and
badly bruising two others. Fortunately,
no human lives were lost, although several
Celestials narrowly escaped being crushed
by the wagon. Officer Downey, who was
near, helped to right the wagon, and man.
aged to arrange damages to all parties in
a satisfactory manner. Now that the
rains Of the Fall season have commenced
and our roads are becoming slippery, it
behooves teamsters to look well to their
brakes, keep them strong and well lcath-
cred, and thus avoid danger to themselves
and to others.
FESIANs.-A large meeting of the Fe-
mans twas held yesterday at the court
room, Head Center Meagher presiding.
Eighty members were present, and after
some stirring speeches, the sum OF $3.50
in coin was subscribed on the spot and
paid over for the purchase Of arms and
ammunition to send to Ireland. Commit
tees for each ward in Virginia and Gold
Hill were formed TO solicit subscriptions
TO the cause, and we wish every man to
throw in their dollar and aid Irish
men in regenerating their own unhappy
country, and striking a fatal blow at the
hated aristocrasy Of Britain.
STRICh IT," We " LhOoS AoPHy ~
able to state that the Hale & Norcross
Company. at a depth of over seven hun
dred feet, have struck a large body OF ex"
cellent ore, and are now daily hosting
quantities thereof. The effect Of this strike
at so great a depth is most flattering for
the future of the great Comstock.
FOURTH WARD, VIRGINIA.-Col. Sum-
ner addresses the Fourth Ward Union
Club, Virginia, this evening. He will

ci6c Railroad"
