The SHOWERS ExAMSATIoS.--The pre-
liminary examination ofthe Showers broth
ers before the Justice Of the Peace at Day.
ton. charged with the homicide of James
L Ryan, was proceeded with yesterday,
but we did not get a report from there in
time for publication. When the Court
adjourned last evening the witnesses for
the defense were being examined. The
examination will be concluded probably
to-day. The statement of Andrew j..
Showers, one of the accused. has been
furnished US for publication. 1t would
perhaps occupy two-thirds Of a local COL
umn. but we must most respectfully de-
cline printing it. We have not, nor do we
intend publishing any Of the preliminary
testimony. The evidence Of conviction or
acquittal will come before a proper jury,
when the time comes-and to forestall
public opinion by a publication of the
evidence in a case of such Importance. we
consider improper and uncalled for in any
newspaper. Almost everybody reads the
newspapers, and opinions are formed upon
what is read. II cannot but be the wish
Of the people of Lyon county, where the
unfortunate homicide occurred. that a
fair, honest, impartial and unforestslled
jury shall try the case. This is our senti-
ment.
Music Hall" Pants VS.. Crinoline "
was again presented last evening with the
usual great applause. The Three Graces"
was a most beautiful classical representa-
ton, and as for that truly wonderful
"SphynS," although it did get a little de-
moralized, yet the wonders Of its great
magical presence had Its full effect with
the swe-stricken audience. This fearful
production, combining as 1t does, the
works Of nature with the works OF art or
magic, needs but 10 be seen 10 be appre-
ciated. The rest OF the entertainment
was of the most pleasing and interesting
character. This evening the amusing bur-
lesque of Pants VS.. Petticoats will be
repeated for the last lime. besides which a
most excellent programme OF entertsin-
ment has been carefully prepared. Go
and see.
A BIO BRIcX.-A bully brick from a
bully mine. In passing the assay office Of
Edwards & Wiegand, we noticed a mon
ster silver brick, one of a batch, from the
Yellow Jacket mine. The rock from
which this bullion was obtained, was
worked at the Kelsey mill, which institu.
ton, in the hands Of our friend rodman,
does excellent work. We "hefted' the
darned concern, and it came near breaking
our weak back so we dropped il like a
hot stove.
PUBLIC SCHOOL ExKIBIrIoS.-This Ex-
hibition will take place on Thursday
(to-morrow) evening, at Maguire's Opera
House. The teachers Of the school have
taken extraordinary pains in rehearsing
the children. and we are confident the en-
tertainment will be the most pleasing that
has ever taken place in Virginia City. A
number of tableaux have been prepared
BY the teachers. which will be presented
on that evening.
MISTAKEN ARREsT.-A Deputy Sheriff OF
Lassen County, California, yesterday afer-
noon, arrived in Virginia City, with a man
who had been arrested as Lefevre, the muir
derer who escaped from the Storey County
Jail, The mans name is Richard Morrissy,
is about % years old, and is a native Of st.
Louis. He is not Lefeyre, and the mistake
is about as ridiculous rs that one committed
in Idaho last winter, where a man was ar
rested as the murderer Wells, and taken to
Sacramento. Morrissy has been turned loose.
HEAVY RAIN.-Last evening, after our
paper was printed. a very heavy rain fell
in Gold Hill and Virginia. It lasted for
several hours, and was accompanied with
heavy thunder and vivid flashes Of light
ming.
