of rho bitches made TO carry it off on ordi-
nary occasions and swept through houses
and raised the very duce with things gen.
rr,lly. Some twenty or thirty men were
n, work along the road to-day, as we
passcd down from Virginia, trying to
control the water; but little progress,
however. was being made. The reservoirs
Of the Water Company, we noticed, were
receiving abou, five hundred inches of
water and sand, which will no doubt
damage this institution for a few days.
The flood is the most severe n we have
seen in three years, and NJ doubt a great
deal Of damage will be done all over the
country.
Doc FIoHr.-rhis morning a terrific
dog fight occurred on c street, Virginia,
between two s~hor,-nosed anime OF the
bull persuasion. They fought long anu
Tough. well. At frs. there were but a
lew persons present. and they were not
the right kind to give the dogs courage
for they stood off and looked at them
simply but very soon came the white
aproned butchers. who smelled blood from
aiar off. The fight then soon attained its
highest point. and the crowd swayed to
and fro with the dogs so perfectly that it
Vas hard TO tell where the edge OF the
.sht was, all moved so tremendously to-
ce,her. Finally one dog got the advantage
OF the other and the scene OF carnage was
stopped BY a buckle, Of cold water, and
the crowd separated with smiles, having
seen a bully dog fight.
ruE STATION -HoUsE.-rhis morning

was there for being dead drunk and lying
on the street, and was taken TO the sta
~,ion.house out Of charity. We foroear
giving his name this time, but Will say
that he is a man OF talent, and has held a
high official position, but like other snakes
he has taken 10 crawling on his belly IN
the mud and filth. 30. how the mighty

LgG BROKEN. - Yesterday at about
noon, a. William Hall. a Washoe team
ster. was coming down the grade above
Gold Hill with an eight mule team and u
load Of quartz. the brake gave way and
the lock-chain not being sufficient TO hold
the force of the wagon, It also gave way,
and the wagon ran forward on the team,
piling the mules up generally, and when
the team was rescued from the p~erilous
position, il was found that one Of the
mules had a leg broken, and had TO be
shot. The condition that the roads are
IN AZ the present time should be warning
enough TO teamsters to have their brakes
and lock chains in such order hat they
can't break.
HUNTING IrENs.-Yesterday afternoon,
our friend Bob Lowery, of the Union,
