was suddenly, without a moment WARM
ing, hurled into eternity. AS one oil the
hnrkets. loaded full Of ore, arrived at the
TON of the shaft. and as the brake suddenly
stopped it. a piece Of ore. weighing per-
hans eight pounds. rolled off the top OF
the bucket and fell down the other shaft.
striking Daniel Brennan right on top Of
the head. crushing in his skull large enough
to lay an egg into the fracture. MIR.
Brennan was just in the act Of unlocking
an empty bucket from the rope when the
dreadful accident occurred, which was
witnessed by several OF his fellow-work-
men. who picked him up, and as loon as
possible brought him TO the surface, and a
surgeon sent for. He was carried 10 his
home, and all that could possibly be done
for him promptly rendered by sympa,hiz-
ing friends; but Re was past recovery, and
at 1 o'clock this morning he breathed his
last. MIR. Brennan was an lrlshman by
birth, and aged about Is years. He had
no family here, and came from New Or
leans 10 this country. The sad affair has
cast q sorrowful gloom over the workmen
and officers of the Crown Point NINE, as

MAorIRE's OPERA House To-NIoHr
The grand benefit in aid of the Odd Fell
lows library tonight. will be one Of the
mos, pleasing and popular arrangements
Of the kind that has been given for many a
long day. and as an illustration of what
sort Of a house there will be on the occa-
sion we will simply state that all the seats
in the dress circle are already taken-ttty
c"nts extra being charged for reserved
seats. The performances will all be by
Amateurs, and which for variety have not
been cqualled by any programme At the
Opera House for a year. Col. Bob Taylor,
who once upon a time walked the boards
and essayed the legitimate drama, will be
a prominent star in this new constellation
Of combined talent. Our late local"
Mr.. Brier. will also contribute a vocal
song which he learnt many years ago on
the Wabash. All Doten and Bob Lowery,
Of the Virginia press, will i'll prominent
places in the performances and members
Of the Athletic Club will execute beautiful
acroba,ic fea,s, but for further particulars
see advertisement, in another column.
SPIRIrrALlsN.-Mrs. Stoves lecture,
las, evening. a, the Cour, room, was well
attended. She prefaccd her remarks by
the recital OF a poem from the pen Of Levi
Moulthrop. l, is a beautiful production,
being IN excellent imitation Of Poe's
Raven" but the monotonous ton in
which it was delivered destroyed its effect.
Mrs. Stowe. while lec;uring, speaks quite
rapidly and huently. and is apparently a,
no loss for words. When. however. at
the close. she gave q short sketch Of her
life. speaking in the normal state, her re-
marks were quite disconnected and inter-
spersed with bad grammar and misappli-
cation Of words. showing tina, she either
was speaking by inspiration during the
lecture las She claimed 10 be), or that she
had failed 20 devote as much attention 20
the subject of her latter remarks as 10 the
main lectures. She talks much good COM
mon sense. but TO those who are unbeliev-
ers in her peculiar doctrine, many OF her
ideas seem ridiculous.
RgcEIPrED FoR.-rhe third of a series
of trials before the Silver City Justice OF
the Peace, came off on Friday last; all
growing out of a horsewhipping scraPe
between two women. This last suit was
on accoun OF the most physically injured
party: who happened 10 be a grass
widow. This widow had not ye. received
her divorce papers, so she wa obliged to
bring suit for damages in her husbands
name. While the trial was progressing,
up comes the otf.cast husband OF the
plaintiff and slips a receipt in full into the
hands Of the husband Of the "other
woman in the case" So the trial came
to a sudden and unexpected close; and
the grass husband vamosed the ranch on q
double-quick. lest his irate spouse come
- damages" on him.
How IT CANE Our.-We stated a few
days ago that the carrier OF the Virginia
Lnion had sued J.. F. Angel. Of Silver
CITY. for a bill of 50. for papers furnished.
Among newspaper men It Is considered
highly disrepu,able TO any person to be
,ued for a newspaper bill. or TO be pub
lished in a blacklist. Il seems, however,
in this instance the Union carrier was
wrong in suing Mr.. Angel, as he failed to
max. out his case in court, and conse-
ouen,ly did not recover judgment except
AGAINST himself for costs in the sum OF
nineteen dollars.
