nedy and G. W. Mead. As near as re
could get at the facts in the premises,
an i'll feeling had existed between the
parties for some time past, and on Sat
urday evening the thing came to n head,
or at least Mead came to kennedys
head with a piece of iron that laid him
ont and cut him for an inch in length in
the back of the head. Kennedy, after
he fell, drew his pocket-knife and cut
several gashes in Mead's body. None
of them, however, are of a dangerous
character. as they are but slight wounds.
Mead. either from a blow or from over
eyertinr himself, seems TO be injured
internally: to what extent is not known.
Both are men of family, and have for a
long time been in the employ of the
Ophir Company as engineers. Neither
of the men are quarrelsome, and the diff
Guilty was not looked for. Kennedy has
been arrested and placed under bonds,
and will have n hearing to-day. We
are assured that nothing will be done
with him. Men are very foolish TO
allow their angry passions to get the
better of their common sense and lead
them to commit such acts.
DAyGERoUs.-We would call the at
tention of the Town Trustees of Gold
Hill to the dangerous condition Of the
Imperial Hotel lot, just above the Union
scales. The danger consists in its being
allowed to remain open, and the liability

there after dark. is apt to fall into this
basement, as there is no fence there,
nor anything whatever to keep persons
from stepping down into this almost
worse than a San Francisco man-trap."
4 miner, late one night last week, while
returning home from his work, tumbled
in, and was so severely injured that he
was unable to get up for an hour, lying
in the cold storm all that time. He was
confined to his bed four days by reason
of his injuries. The Committee on
Streets would do well to have the place
ordered fenced up.
DEDIcArIoy.-The dedication of the
new Presbyterian Church, Virginia,
took place yesterday. The church was
filled to its utmost capacity in every
part. The ceremonies were very impos-
ing and elected the most profound at
tention. After the services were over q
collection was taken up which mount
ed to 81, 900. This, we are informed by
Rev. Mr.. Martin, will be sufficient TO pay

The people Of Virginia deserve much
credit for their generosity in so literally
aiding a good cause. We believe it is
the general practice of the people on
the day Of the dedication of a Church,
TO pay of whatever remains unpaid. 4
most excellent practice.
THAT TURKEY.-The turkey sent to
this office to-day by Mr.. Schaffer, ofthe
San Francisco Restaurant, was, if we
are a judge, fully appreciated by all
connected with the office. After fully
testing the merits of the turkey and
wine, on motion, a unanimous vote of
thanks was rendered TO Mr.. Scheffer
for his splendid testimonial, and for his
good judgment in anticipating the
greatest pleasure that can be conferred
on a printing ofice-a New Years tur-
key lunch. The San Francisco Restau- |
rant tomorrow, will be a delightful
place to get a New Years turkey din
per. /

get to attend the Grand Ball at the Piute
Botel, lower Gold Hill, on New Years

ment in Gold Hill on that night. Ex-
celleut music splendid supper; hand
some ladies; good dancing, and a fine
time generally.
FULL DUNPs.-0wing to the muddy
condition of the roads and the inability |
Of the quartz teams to get the rock away
