THE EVENING NEWS.

have been in q worse condition perhaps
than they are at the present time, and
to what depth the mud will become is
hard to tell, if the present stormy
weather holds on as it has been for the
past two months. Yesterday afternoon
we had some business in lower Gold
Hill to attend to, and went down as far
as we could get, which was to the Gold
Hill mill and the top Of our boots.
We saw any quantity of wagons stuck
fast in the mud, with the horses toun-
dering about, unable to pull a persons
hat off, for we saw g pair of horses, in
attempting to extricate their feet, fall
down in the mud. Some Of the wagons
which were going down loaded, had
sunk in the mud to the bed, and had
become stationary for the season, we
ppo Others were being dug out,
some were broken down, and some had
their tongues pulled out. Notices. than
fifty teamsters, who had learned to
swear in their boyhood days, were all
swearing in the superlatiye degree, both
as to key and quality. Whips had be-
come powerless, and everything was IN
a settled state; that is, settled down in
the mud. We sympathized with the
Door fellows, and ventured to tell them
that the condition Of affairs was beyond
the reach Of even hard swearing. If the
mud continues as it is for a month 1t
wal be q great benefit to the roads, for
then the mines, mills, teamsters and
citizens will club together and make
such roads as will not be affected by
bad weather. There is plenty of good
material near at hand to make an ex-
cellent road, but the people are like the
fellow in Arkansas about covering his
house. They must be macadamized.
Why not do it at once and ssve your
teams?
CAx'r SEE THE FUNl- Yesterday,
while going from Gold Hill TO Virginia
in the buss, we got into conversation
with a gentleman in regard to the bad
state Of society in Nevada at this time.
The many c~ut-throats and murderers
that infested the country, etc. He said
the night previous he vas coming down
from Virginia to Gold Hill, when on
rather a lonely spot On the Divide he
suddenly came upon a man in the road;
although be had a pistol in his hand, he
said he forgot all about it, and sung out
to the fellow to stop, which he did at
once, and coolly asked him what be
wanted. At this moment he saw a din
ner-bucket i. the mans hand, and his
senses returned TO him, when he told
him it was all right, to go on, which he
did. Our informant said he knows just
how a man feels who is stopped by
ssfoot. pads" and if any of them likes
the fun, I" he can't see it, He also,
stated, that if the fellow had been a
robber, he did not know whether he
would ever have thought Of his gun or
not. We should have judged, the per-
son who told the story OF himself, to
have been a man of blood from all eI-
ternal appearances.
FuSERAL.-The funeral of Miss Julia
Bulette took place from Ones Engine
House, yesterday afternoon. She was
buried BY the Company. Rev. Mr.. Mar
tin delivered the funeral sermon, which
was listened 70 with profound attention.
The discourse was q most excellent pro-
duction, and doubtless was sown on
grounds where the gospel seed Is sell
dom permitted to be sown. The ex-
treme iuclemency of the weather pre-
vented many from attending the funeral
although there was quite large numoer
nA;n thA rain and snow
followed her to the grave. Let her
faults be buried with her and her yir-
tues live. Mortals are but frail barks,
liable to be wrecked in q unguarded
hour.
A REpoRr.-There is a welltgrounded
report on the streets of Virginia that
"Uncle Dave Evans, of the Washoe Ex-
change Billiard Saloon, has by great
odds the best tables in the State, and
that the bar is supplied with the best
liquors, wines and cigars found in any
bar in Virginia. We don't know where
he secured such a good quality of liquors,
unless he bought it from Kennedy &
Mallon Just across the street, for it is a
well known fact that they keep the best
brands made; and sell at such prices as
will allow Uncle Dave to make a fair
profit and sell an a No. ! article. That
is where he shows his sense in buying
nothing but a superior article, and when
people find it out they will, all go there
to beverage. That is 10.
SERIOUS AccIDESr.-Ar. C~happelette,
formerly Superintendent Of the Sap
phire Mill, Gold Hill, a few days since

pany with adother man, went from
Meadow Lake to Cisco for some ma
chinery, and while on their return,
came very near freezing, and to save
themselves, dug q hole in the snow and

pelette was in the hole and the man wal
chopping down q tree which fell directly
over the hole, striking Mr.. c., and in
juriug him quite severely, if not danger
ously.
