Lo THE Poox ISDIAN.-We have been
frequently amused and often instructed.
in watching the movements and in MOTTO
ing the habits, customs and pursuits of
the remnan, of the tribe that once held
unlimited sway over this vast mining re-
Sion, that now pulsates 70 the demands OF
an advanced civilization. In their way.

new condition OF afalrs-seem 10 be con-

disposed TO give y "quid pro quo" or, IN
other words, &c afford an equivalent for

day was attracted 70 this, BY witnessing
two bucks, one Of whom was diligently
saving wood. while the other was slowing
il away in n shed. Al the same time, two
sQuaws, personal property, undoubtedly,
OF the aforesaid bucks, with the greatest
nonchalauce IN the world as TO the labors
of their lords, were quietly enjoying a
game Of cards on the sidewalk. What
the character Of the game was, We could
not determine, but they seemed to enjoy II
"muchly." with all the zest OF veteran
gamblers. Poor creatures. IN their lin

thew endeavor to oil out the space Of life
awarded them. and soon will fade away,

race. their trials, their wrongs or their sui
terings.
TRUNK SroLES.-It is not often that
We are forced TO notice any attempt TO
surreputiously obtain tina, which b~elOnge,h

under our present notice, we must say
,ha, the abstraction OF the trunk from the
Vesey House, last night, was a very bold,
and. as it proved, a very successful affair.
The trunk belonged 10 Mr.. ConnOr and
wife and as the room they occupied was
small, the trunk was left in the hall. Some
midnight prowler entered the house. and
seeing the trunk, took 1t out back OF the
Episcopal Church, broke It open and III
fed its contents 10 the amount Of $500,
including the wardrobe of both Mr.. and
Mrs, Common. \ shawl OF the value OF
Sl2 was thrown aside, through mistake,
probably. as articles Of less value were
taken. We sympathize with Mr.. and
Mrs. Common for their loss, a. we know
tina, Mr.. Common is an industrious citizen,
and ever, way worthy of respect. We
hope that the scOundrels in this affair will
be brought TO grief.
The OPERA HorsE.-It was quite evil
dent last evening that many Of the dele
gates and candidates had returned from
Carson, for Max Walters melodeon thea
ire was better attended than on the pre-
ylous evening; IN fact there was a very
good and spprecla,lye audience present.
and the entire entertainment was very
much applsuded throughout, and cock
tails and lager sold tnskly. The after
niece was the screaming farce OF The
Devil in the House" We did not learn
the name of the concluding piece for this
evening. but it is to be a capital one OF
the most ~laughable order. Look out Tor
the Red Guome."
U~SroarUSArY HoG.-We were witness
to day Of an occurrence which goesto show
anon wha, brittle threads life hangs. A
member of the swiuish kind was out this
morning. reveling in the otal OF our
streets. when a quartz wagon descending
the steep grade. caught his hogship and
sey.red his head from his body as though
a knife had performed the operation A
li,,le nasty, improbable cur dog was the
cause of the disaster ; and Charley Hauo,
The nopulAr proprietor Of the Fountain
Restaurant, lower Gold Hill. was the suf-
terer. This dog had no tag. MIR. Town
