partment, and as such, he had the power
to order them and had accordingly gwen
the order for said trumpets to Messrs.
Gillig, Mott s Co. Ii he had acted un-
wisely in the premises, he hoped the Board

A BEAUTIFUL Work OF ARr.-This
morning We saw at the carpenter shop OF
C. NJ. Brown, on E street, Virginia,
carved representation of an American
eagle, standing on piece of gold and sill
yer-bearing quartz, while on either side
droop two American flags in. graceful
folds-the whole carved from wood with
a wonderful fidelity to nature. The size
of the representation is six feet IN hight by
twenty-eight inches in width; the size Of
the eagle being FIVE feet from tip to tip of
the wings. The bird is beyond doubt one
of the finest pieces of carved wood ever
executed on the coast; and the flags,
looped with golden cord and tassel, on
the very counterpart of our dear "Red,
White and Blue" The artist who has
ACCOMPLISHED this work, is Mr.. Tarleton
B. Earl, who will, we believe, shortly
place his work on exhibition at one Of the
principal saloons, to be disposed OF by
rattle. The work would make betting
ornament to the parlor of any loyal Am
ericsn's home.
Now AND THBS.-The appearance OF
Virginia on a Sabbath day is highly sug-
gestive of the caption to this article.
When we first came to Nevada there was
but little law and still less morality.
Then, murder, assassination and CRIME
stalked abroad and waived its Redeemed
hands. Now, law-abiding people greet
each other with friendly words. Then,
no sound of Church bell sounded on the
listening ear. Now, the Word OF God Is
heard from many sacred desks, and no.
ssnnahs to His praise are heard ascending
10 Heaven. Then. the barren hills were
covered with sage-brush and coyotes.
Now, a population of $4,000 breathes the
mountain air, and the hum of busy IN
dustry resounds along the hillsides. Then,
no word of news was issued to the peo-
pie. Now, three daily papers are read by
thousands. The past is illustrious, and
the future hopeful. Nevada has glori-
Gus destiny.
COMPANY DRILL.-VIrginia Engine Co
No. l, of Virginia, was out for drill yes
terday, and to try the strength of their
new hose. The engine took water from
the cis,ern on North C street, near the
Music Hall, and playing through 80 feet of
hose and an inch nozzle, threw horl-
zontal stream distance of one hundred
and seveniy-four feet, as measured by
Chief Larkin. The engine has done bet
ter BY few feet. but the work yesterday
show a very efficient company, and under
the Foremanship Of the consumptlve
Brown it is hard to beat.
DID Nor AeRBE.-The jury in the case
of the Hale & Norcross Co. vs.. the BaJa-
xette and Golden Era Co., were unable to
agree, and at a late hour on Saturday
evening were discharged by order Of the
Court. We believe the jury were divided
rs follows: for the Bajazette Co., eight;
for the Hale s Norcross Co., four. The
first named company, it will be seen,
needed but one more juryman to procure
a verdict, as by our laws, two-thirds OF
the jury may render legal verdict.
CoAsr1SG.-The youths and lassies Of
Virginia had fine time on Saturday and
Sunday evenings, in coasdng Taylor
street, from the residence of HON. VIM.
N. Stewart to the Methodist Church, on
z street. The sledS came down the
smooth and icy slope with the swittness
of an arrow, and fortunately no accidents
of account happened, although a little
urchin about as large as piece OF chalk
actually slid under span OF mules at
,acbed to a team. and strange to say,
escaped without injury.
ACCIDENTAL literary gentleman, who
might be connected with daily paper
published in this county, and who might
have at one time borne the military title
of "SIaior," had the misfortune to loose
his footing last night and fall upon the
lev sidewalk, cutting his cheek and hand
quite severely. We did not hear that any
Heidsick was sold last night.
The streets of Virginia are covered
with ice, and the sidewalks are as slip
merry as avid cat" Broker. Several
