THE EVENING NEWS.

quarterly license OF Szo ioF Sne Pfi'ieSe
Of selling their produce in Virginia City.
II may be right and proper to impose this
extra tax, but we can't see the justice Of
il, for our farmers are already taxed on
their lands as much as they can stand.
The agricultural Of III State
are very limited at beat, and should be
nursed with care. Every encouragement
possible should be held out to those who
have put their hand to the pillow in this
State, and everything that can be done to
encourage home productions, whether it
be agricultural or manufacturing, should
meet with q hearty response from every
citizen Of the State who has its welfare At
heart. There 10 not, we believe, another
State in the Union but what the statutes
specially provide that all produce raised
within the limits Of the State, shall be
sold BY the grower thereof free Of any Ii
eense or tax for disposing Of the same.
Virginia City has levied a tax on our far
mers, il they make an attempt to Sell what
they grow on the land which they have
already paid q heavy tax upon-giving
to peddlers aud hux,ers from the State Of
California equal rights with them in the
market. II we would encourage home
manufacture or agriculture-give TO those
engaged in them some advantages over
the people Of our neighboring States with
whom they are unable to compete, in con-
sequence Of the superior facilities those
State have over US. Throw around our
farmers. at least, that protection which
other States have insured to themselves,
and we may look for a rapid and steady
growth in this important branch Of BUSH
meas.
Cor H Trek TAKEN Our.-Ths fol-
lowing anscdote was told u BY . friend
who works in one Of the Gold Hill mines:
A shor, time since a young man just from
the Emerald Isle went to work with him
in the same mine. Seeing almost all the
boys with a watch. naturally concluded
tina, he ought to have one. So he forth
with proceeded to = jewelry store and
made an investment in the shape OF .
detached lever watch that had as loud 4
tick 70 il almost as Z boiler makers ham
mer. Tha, night Ned (for that Is his
name) vent to bed feeling that he was
man Of fashion, and no doubt would be
the superintendent in some Of the leading
mines. He laid his ~chronometer on the
table near the head Of the bed, and then
retired for the night. Owing TO the tick
ing of the watch poor Ned did not close
his eyes that night and the next morning
he went to work looking as care-worn as
though he had been shipwrecked for a
week. On being asked what was the
matter he said "Och. sure. and didn't
tina, haste of a watch Of mine kape me
awake the whole night long, and sure but
the morrow l will have the tick taken out
Of it if il costs twinty dollars" And sure
enough the next day he took it to . watch
maker, and paid HIM ten dollars to have
the stick taken out" He is now perfect
" happy he has = watch with all the
show necessary to make 4 gentleman OF
him, and yet perfectly mute.
A SrRlx1.-To-day we heard that a
rich strike had been made in the vicinity
OF the dollhouse Of the Tunnel Toll Road.
We q, once proceeded to the dollhouse to
find out the particulars OF the matter. but
were unable to find any one there, and the
rs,ul, i, tina, we are unable TO give our
reader, the facts in the case. We were
,hovn by a man who we found among
the hills, a place where some person had
bean a. work on the road, and had made
An opening into Q ledge which shows . Pc
euliar ore which resembles the ore taken
from the Hale s Norcross mine, and TO
all appesrances 10 rich. He told Us that
he though, this was the mine which we
ware in search OF. II such 10 the case, we
would not volunteer to give an opinion as
70 il, merits. We will try and find out
the particulars by our next Issue.

drou,h of summer was broken BY a show

hours, the sky became clear, and. to air

several feet Of snow.
