gentleman-offering his services in bestow'
ing charity on every occasion-and being
a cripple himself, his misfortune appeals
to our kind. hearted people.
Music HALL.-.We had the pleasure o
visiting this popular place of amusement
last evening. TO say that We were simply
pleased, would not convey the impression
made upon our mind. We were delighted
with the versatile and diFusive talent dis
PLAYED by individual members, and BY the
whole company. Max Walter is indeed
unwearying in his exertions to keep thi:
popular place of amusement ever on the
GrGp. The new accessions in Miss Sallie
Thayer and Miss Minnie Fillmore, are
indeed valuable. The comic and spirited
songs Of the first Of these ladies, and the
sweet, mellow songs of the latter, are par
~ticularly pleasing. Nor need the old
tavorites Of the house feel alarmed at these
accessions, from the commentators they
receive. Their performances for months
back, have been associated with many
pleasant hours spent to while away care
and trouble, that will not 500 be forgot
ten. Go and see.
yellow JACKET HOSE CoMPASY.-We
were a little in error, yesterday, in saying
tina. the hose companies were out, as none
but the above named company participant
ed in the affair. It was simply an ex-
detrimental trial. TO ascertain whether the
water-pipes and hydrants were all right,
in case Of fire, in the lower part Of the
town. And il was well that this expert
ment was made. II was very apparent
that the sediment, that naturally gravi-
tates to the lower part Of the town, must
be kept clear from the pipes and hydranss
BY being drawn off once a week at least,
which, we understood, it was the inten-
ton Of the company to do. Under the
efficient management OF their First As
sis,ant Foreman. Billy Began, they did
well, considering the obstacles they had to
contend with.
INSTRUMENTATION Friday evening Of
next week, at Music Hall in Virginia, a
Benefit will be given to Mr.. P. McLaugh-
lin, a poor, disabled miner, who was I'M
fortunate enough to get one Of his legs
broken last winter, and which was am
puta,ed TO save his life. The accident
happened in Gold Hill and the Benefit
is 10 be given 70 enable him TO 60 TO San
Francisco and get an artificial one put on,
SO that he can earn his living. At pres
ent he is entirely helpless with but one leg,
and is dependent upon the charity Of kind
friends. Max Walter and his excellent
troupe have all volunteered their profess
sional services TO help the man along in
his truly pi,iable condition. The tickets,
we learn. will be for sale tomorrow.
ECLIPSE MILL.-we were informed by an
old friend, Charley Forman, the efficient Su-
perintendent Of the company to which this
mill belongs, that it is the intention to stop
work at the same tomorrow. The object Of
this is, 20 Law u new foundation for the bat
,eries that shall combine all the improve
ments that u long experience suggests.
Judging from the size OF the timbers, and the
manner Of fitting the battery blocks, as solid
a structure will be raised as the nature OF the
ground will permit. No finer timber and
planking can be seen anywhere, obtained
from Clear Creek, WI were told, and justly
deserving the name clear-so free from knot
or blcmish. 1t is thought the mill will be
ready 10 run again BY the first OF next month,
when bully work may be looked for. Sue
cess to the mill and all concerned.
FrNERAL.-The funeral Of Mr.. Alonzo
Dinsmore, who died yesterday morning at
Steamboat Springs-and whose body was
brough, over last evening, by his best
and dearest friends, George W. Ayles-
worth and J. W.. Woodruff-took place
this afternoon at 3 o'clock, from 81. Johns
Church. \ large number Of the friends
of deceased. ladies and gentlemen, attend
ed the funeral services at the church, and
also a. the grave, which were deeply affect
ing, and most solemnly impressed the liv-
ing. Although being far away from
kindred and early friends and associates,
the deceased had bestowed upon his
earthly remains all the solemnly rites OF a
christian burial.
QUICKSILVER CoNBISATIoS.-The an
nouncement in the San Francisco papers,
of a combination Of capitalists, formed for
the purpose of controlling the market value
of this article, will not be received by our
mill men with much favor. The result Of
all such combinations is, to remove CON-
petition, and afix a price that will be sure
to paw largely in dividends on the amount
Of capital employed. This move is to be
regretted, as il will certainly cause q rise
in the price of the article, thus increasing
the expenses Of working our ores, when
all were studying how TO lessen expenses,
in order to work to advantage the poorer
classes OF ore. A Scots blessing on all
such combinations.
CRowD.-If any one wishes to draw a
crowd OF thirty or forty people together
a, a moments warning, all he has to do
is, to pi, n dog against another. We
have seen this tried several times in this
place and never knew it to fail. a What
there is in such an exhibition that is so
amusing and exciting we cannot compre.,
bend. Perhaps it is the effects only OF
the dog-sed determination that was culti-
waited during the late war. Now, how
ever, that peace is declared It would be
well to cur-tail some Of these exhibitions,
wEArHEn.-The compliments we paid
10 the clerk Of the weather, the other day.
seems to have had the desired effect. We
have been revel;ng all the week in the
mos, delightful weather imaginable. It is
wonderful-the effects produced upon the
spirits and health of our people. All are
