AGAINST A LIcESsE.-At the meeting

evening, q petition was presented, wnlcn
was signed by DR.. Underhill and by DR..
Cornwall, and other dentists, praying
that petitioners might be relieved from
paying the city license with which ply
sicians and other professional gentle
men are at present taxed. DR.. Under
hill made q speech in support of his
claim and that of brother professionals
to exemption from u license tax. He
wished TO see fair play. II professional
gentlemen were taxed he wished to see
gentlemen Of all professions taxed. Al
present this WAS not the case. There
was in his opinion u great partiality ex-
hibited. There were q number of gen.
tlemen in Virginia city in the enjoymeu,
of lucrative professions, who were not
asked to pay n license. For instance,
horse doctors and preachers. He knew
a horse doctor who had n most extern
sive and profitable practice-a man with
a diploma-who did not pay u single
cent in the shape of license. This he
thought most unfair. Besides, in Nir-
GINA city there were other professional
gentlemen exempt from license-preach-
ers. These preachers he considered to
be as much in the professional line as
himself. He said that in the aggregate
they received about $4,000 per year,
and SOM of them as high a 5000 per
month with most desirable perquisites
in the shape of yellow legged chickens.
He wished to see the eaters OF yellow
legged chickens paving II license for the
extraordinary privileges they enjoyed.
Why tax u few poor, struggling physl-
clans and let the preachers on scot Tree!
He couldn't see the justice OF such leg
i~slation. II physicians and dentists
were required to pay n license he want
ed to see preachers and horse doctors
taxed. The petition was referred TO
the Virginia City Attorney.
RosBgRy.-LaSt evening three foot
pads stopped Mr.. Schmadeke, formerly
of the Virginia Restaurant, about four
miles below Silver City, and presenting
a shotgun made him hold up his hands
and dismount from his horse, when
they went through him in the most APP
nroyed STYLE. The robbers found moth
ING but seveuty-fve cents upon him
though they made him pull oil his boots
and thoroughly searched him. The rob-
hers. upon finding that he had but SIX
hits. gave him back two bits with which
TO pay his toll. He had on an Odd Eel
lows pin, which they took OIL, aud,
after betting it, handed 1t back, saying
IL was of too little value to take. Find
inc that their victim really had nothing
of yalue about his person, they called
him \ id son of q b-h, and told him
20 travel on or they would give him =
charge of shot 10 carry oil. Mr. Scnma-
deke was not slow in acting upon the
hin, given him and made good time to
his home in Virginia city. IL appears
tina, upon leaving the city Mr.. schma,
deke had q presentiment that ne would
meet with robbers, and with this feel
inc uppermost in his mind, he left his
watch and nearly all his money at home,
Tins leaving for the robbers very poor
nicking. He got such II fright that he
il not likely to be seen outside OF tue
city limits for n year or two. As the
fellows who stopped him are perhaps
still lurking in the neighborhood, II WIN
be we'll for our citizens to bear tneir
procliyities in mind and regulate tneir
movements in accordance with the "sit-
nation" As the cold weather comes
on. the thieves who abound in this re-
zion will become desperate, and we may
exnect soou to hear Of many desperate
robberies.
