THE EVENING NEWS.

Ora CLlxArE.-There is not au hour
in the day passes but what we hear some
one complaining about the mud, the
wind and the disagreeable climate. For
wears past we have been willing to &C
knowledge that the climate of the Silver
State would not compare to that of CAL
ifornia, but for the past year or two we
have somewhat changed our views. 1t
seems BY the papers that the valleys of
California have within the past ten days
been worse flooded than we have ever
been. Railroads have been washed
away, towns flooded, farms inundated,
and the very mischief raised all over the
State. The bridges over all the streams
almost, have been carried away, until
even home communication has been cut
Oft. In fact, there has been almost
another food.
MEAN AND FooLIsH.-There is q GER
tain class of persons in Virginia city
who seem to take supreme delight in
tying tin kettles TO dogs tails and start
ing them through the streets. This
thing has been done or various occa-
Sions. Last night a poor dumb brute
went bowling up the street with a lard
can attached to him. Il is not only
cruel and mean to treat Il dog so, but II
is dangerous to those passing on the
sidewalks. A leg may be broken by
being struck with an ~appendage OF TINS
kind, when in motion almost equal 10
cannon ball. Men of this kind should
remember the difference between such
persons rs commit such acts ana tue
poor dogs is so little that they may o
ill the same position.
Be SURE AND Go.-Let every n who
has music in their souls-let every one
who wishes to be able to greet the New
Year with smiles and a light heart, as
!, comes to meet us on the wings Of
time, remember that on the night of Jam
uarv LIST there will be one of the finest
Balls given by WaShoc Engine Co. No.
s. ever given in Virginia. This will be
no ordinary affair, but one of those

the pleasure desired. II the hall proves
too small for the convenience of those
present another place is in readiness, so
all can be accommodated. Gold Hill
Firemen, come along and have q good
time. Fours' boys" will treat you
well, depend upon it.
CLEANING THE SrREErS.-Chief Ed
wards several days since told US he
thought of cleaning the sloppy mud
from C street, and yesterday we noticed
several men employed in working the
mud down into the cross streets and
sewers. When this is accomplished,
the street will be rs solid and smooth
rs q stone pavement, as there is Il foot
or more of well packed rock below the
Stun now covering the street. This is
a most excellent idea, as the present
condition of the street is horrible, being
nothing but q soft Stun from two to six
inches deep.
NEw BuILDIxG.-The new carpenter
shop of the Savage Company, and the
new building over their dump-house is
about completed and are very crcdita-
BILE buildings. The Savage is one Of
the best mines on the ComStock ledge,
and like the Yellow Jacket Company,
all the improvements that are being
made are of the most substantial char
acter. The mine is now in a condition
TO produce q great deal more ore than
can be taken away. The present mud
dy condition of the roads proves a
great drawback TO our mining interests.
