BLACK CRooK.-The sprigtlhy Spriggs,
the edifyiug Edwards, the miraculous
Murphy, and the harmonious Harrigan,
made things mighty lively at the Crook
last evening. Miss Josephine continues
to be q very popular %favorite, and
nightly appears, together with any
amount Of choice talent. The late
storm had the effect to prevent the ar
rival of Miss Pauline Conger, who is to
appear at the Crook, but she will be
here as soon as the elements will allow,
when you can expect to see something.

Ormsby county have offered a reward

heusien Of Thomas Riley, who killed
Sheriff Smith Of ormsby county. Gov
ernor Blasdel, "by virtue Of the Con-
s%titution," ETC., has also offered q re-
ward of one thousand dollars. These
rewards como rather late. If Riley
should happen to be arrested, having
had almost a weeks time to get away,
we'll make a note Of it.

advertisement of Feusier l. Co., in to-
days. News. At their we'll known store,

they keep on hand one of the very best
and most extensive stocks Of goods to

pie purchase their groceries, provisions,
etc., at Fsusier & Co.'s, for the very
good and sufficient reason that it is to
their advantage to do so.
SCHOOL ExAMINArIoS.-A very inter-
estiug examination fthe scholars in the
Gold Hill Public Schools was had to-
day, in presence Of the School Trustees,
and the parents of many of the children,
and q few other spectators; but owing
to the ~lateness Of the hour when the
exercises were concluded, we have been
unable to write up our notes for to-day's
paper; but We will do SO for Tomorrow
News.
Frosty CoScLUsIoy.-0ur fierce and
blustery snow storm wound up about
IL o'clock last evening with q bright,
clear, star-lit sky and a particularly
keen and frosty atmosphere, inducing
miserable bachelors to hug their blan-
kets closer, and married men to follow
suit. To-day is clear, bright and pleas
ant, and shows no appearance OF there
ever going to be another storm.
SLErauISG.-Several parties were out
yesterday afternoon, notwithstanding
the fierce driving storm, heroically en-
deavoring to enjoy the pleasures OF q
through the streets Of Vir-
ginia city. We noticed some ladies
among them, who, although their noses
and cheeks were Of a lively rubicund
hue, appeared to enter with zeal into
the dubious festivities of the occasion.

Of both sexes, as well as those OF IN
creased years and stature.
"Do We EAT, Roxy ?"-This much
