a brass band, after which was a ougg!'
then the hearse; next came thirty Dug
c;ss and EXPRESS wagons, some OF which
we're very~large, with SIX whi'e norseS
each attached. In these were the uer-
man Singing Club; behind the ougg'eS
were a large number OF horsemen'
Considering the sloppy condition OF the
streets, this was one of the largest iune-
rails we have ever seen in Virginia. Mr..
Eqcart WAS one of our best citizens, n
had many warm friends who follow him
with sorrowful hearts to an untimely
grave. We understand that Mr.. Eggart
was arranging his business PRIOR 10
taking n trip TO Germany to see his wife
and child, and his aged mother, who, a
short time since had made a request
that he should return and see her once
more, AS she was getting very old and
did not expect TO live long. But untor-
tunately, the hand of Providence willed
it otherwise, and their meeting will be
postponed until they meet on the other
side of the dark waters, over which no
traveller ever returns. To his triendS
beyond the seas, we would say, that al
though he died by an assassin's hand
and in a strange land, yet he died
among q host of warm friends.
A SLY WEDDISG.-Last evening, IN
the parlor of the International Hotel,
Virginia, Il gentleman and a lady
from the country, were united in
the holy bonds of wedlock. Rev. Mr..
Marin performed the ceremonies OF
tving the sacred knot. The thing was
TO have been entirely on the sly, with
no one but the parties present. But the
tables were turned, and just prior to
the commencement of the ceremonies,
in Slipped a large number Of the aris-
tocracy of the land, headed by Govern
or Biasdel, who were bound 10 see the
fun. The surprise was too much for
the nerves of the groom, who, as soon
as the fatal decree had gone forth, ad-
vanced to the Reverend, saying: Judge,
how much is it?' at the same time
plunging his hand into his pocket to
the elbow, and bringing up from its
depth n large purse well replenished
with glittering gold. After conSratu-
lating the strangers, the crowd LETT them
TO enjoy themselves according TO the
dictates of their own conScienceS.
SAGAcIrY. Yesterday evening we
were down at the station-house, in Nir-
GINA, TO secure some facts. While there,
Mr.. McGinniss, the %jailer, found n large
bundle of clothes near the door. He
carried them into the house, not know
ing whose they were. After 4 while a
Celestial called for them, and on being
asked why he left the clothes in the
street, explained as follows, to-wit:
John me var TO so up town, no like
take him clothes along, me leave him at
station-house, SO nobody steal him.
Johns reasoning was evidently good,
as the shirts were dirty ones. But we
would advise him not TO leave any clean
ones there as long a Chief Edwards,
Captain Downey, McGinniss, or any of
the Police are around. You look out,
John, with your clean shirts.
CrrrIXG AFFRAY. -Y Yesterday after
noon, at about 1 o'clock, at the Downie-
Vile Hotel, on c street, Virginia, a cut
ting affair occurred. The names of the
parties engaged in the affray were Chas.
McCarty and John Hanlan. The latter
received several quite severe cuts in
different parts Of his body. Both parties
were promptly arrested and lodged in
the sta~tion-houSe. There have not been
so many persons confined in the station
house and county Jail for three years as
there are at the present time. Both
places are getting pretty full Of board
ers, and by the time New Years is over
McGinnis will be the leading hotel in
Virginia.
MAsoSIc.-Last evening, the officers
of the Masonic Lodges in Virginia were
installed, in the Masonic Hall. The
ceremonies were very imposing, and the
installation passed oil pleasantly. There
were present a large number Of Masons
from Gold Hill, Silver City, Dayton and
other places. After the Lodges were
closed the Brethren repaired TO John A.
Moch's, where a bountiful supper had
been ordered. Preparations had been
made for one hundred and fifty persons,
but when they all got in there were
something over two hundred present.
The supper was Il splendid one, and the
flow of wit and sentiment was prohhc.
ALMOST A FIRE.-This morning there
came very near being a fire in a build
ing back of the News Office, in Pike
Row. During the night the wind had
disjointed the stoyepipe just below the
roof, and when the fire was built 1t soon
caught in the shingles, but, fortunately,
was discovered before it had got fairly
under Roadway, and was put out. The
damage done was very triting. Great
care should be used in properly secur-
ing your stovepipes. A great many hres
have their origin in defective stovepipes.
WET wEArHER.-The prospects at the
present time are very favorable for a
great deal of wet weather during this
Winter, and as there are many leaky
roofs in Gold Hill and Virginia, special
attention is called to an advertisement
of W. r. Mckinney & Co.. in another
column. Mr.. Mckinney for several years
past has carried on lhis business IN a
Francisco, and warrants all work. Give
him a call.
MEAT MARxrrs.-There is not a place
on the Pacific coast whore there is a
finer display of meats in the markets
than in Gold Hill and Virginia, at the
present time. The fat cattle we spoke
of the other day have been slaughtered
and now hang in the Union Market, Z
street. They are worth seeing, as such
sights are seldom seen.
Nrw YEARs.-New Years is the time
when presents are made, and we would
advise all who wish to secure n splendid
New Years gift to go to Lille y Co, or
10 Dale's, as both of these places nave
now on hand a large stock OF fancy ar
t;cles which must be sold during the
HOLIDAYS, and the result is they are Of
fered cheap for cash.
