patton Of the Virginiaites for the past
4s hours, has been sleigh-riding. Some
in a quiet way as though they were en-
gagged in the amusement for the pleas
ure of it, while others went as a spree.
Some of those out made it quite in
terestiug for the Police. During the
afternoon a lady from | street, in COM
pany with a young man who clerks in
a store on South G street, got into the
sleigh belonging to al old fellow they
call Jessie and after passing up and
down the streets for some time calling
for liquors at different saloons and
finally getting more than decently drunk,
smashed up a tray Of glasses. Here
Capt. Downey interfered and told them
to 90 home, but the result was they be-
gan to curse him, when he seized the
sleigh, load and all, and droveto the Sta
tion-house. We went in to get the par
ticulars Of the case, when the virtuous
youth, who was riding through the streets
Of the town with a woman Of that char
acter, approached US and requested that
we would not say anything in the paper
about his having got into the station
house, as it would disgrace him. We
were unable to learn his name, and will
not this time try very hard to find it out,
but if be again violates the rules Of de-
cency and self-respect, to the same ex-
tent, we will give him a full benefit.
We understand that he usually is a
is q quiet and well behaved young man,
therefore, we say, go, and sin no more,
or you will catch it good. The second
incident Of note in the sleighing calen-
dar, was Just at dark. The same sleigh
and driver was on the street again with
q couple more in his sleigh, both OF
whom were females this time. One was
sober and the other wild drunk, making
the streets perfectly hideous with her
wells and shrieks. Capt. Downey again
entered his protest, when a volley OF
oaths, that would have done credit to an
old sailor, were hurled at him. He again
seized the team and its load and took
them to the Station-house. The noisy
woman, when told to keep quiet, de-
clared she never lived in a State where
she could not hallow, and at this would
make the old house tremble with her
shrieks. The driver became incensed
at the course of the police, and was not
only insulting, but abusive; and to
make the thing complete, encouraging
those who were already bowling like
wolves to howl louder; when he was
gently taken to o private room in the
back end of the Station-house. We
have seen it lively in Virginia, but last
evening was most decidedly the most
boisterous we have seen for a long time.
"'Tis an i'll wind that blows no n
good" The police are having q har-
vest as well as the livery men.
RUSAwAY.-Lsst evening, in Virginia,
the four horses of Mr.. Haight, of the
BUS line, attached to a sleigh, ran away
and smashed up things generally. At
ter taking the rounds Of the town, the
horses went down Taylor street, where
the near horse behind fell and the 9TH
ers gave him the benefit of a coast from
that to D or Estreet, where Capt. Serb
er caught them. Being a large n
powerful man he managed to hold on to
the team until they became quiet. We
understand that none Of the horses were
injured any, and to what extent the
sleigh was broken we were not informed.
Sleighing seems to be prolific in the Way
of runaways and accidents. Every
thingin the shape of a sleigh was out this
morning in order to have all the beneht
of the snow possible, as old Sol shows
strong indications Of spelling the fun
soon.
HORRIBLE CL1NArE.-A few days since
an old fellow who was in the habit OF
getting on sprees and sleeping out all
night, went to Virginia, never thinking
for a moment, but what he was still in
California, where winter winds never
blow, and all the covering that a person
requires is the great canopy Of Heaven.
He went on q bender and laid down tor
a nap with his head under q board for
the night. Within an hour or two it
began to snow, and some n coming
along found him almost dead, they car.
ried him in and rubbed him and poured
hot whisky into him for some time be-
fore he came to; but when he did be.
come sensible, he gave q shudder and
said: "a horrible country this" Tne
cure was q perfect one.
FINE ExHrBIr.-Yesterday we noticed
at the Central Market, @ street, three
fine young bucks hanging up by the
heels. They were killed at the head OF
Long Valley by o man from Virginia.
Deer meat in our markets is something
unusual, although dear meat is quite
common.
BuLLIox.-There was shipped from
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Gold Hill office,
this morning, II bars of bullion,
weighing l,l25 pounds, which is valued
at $30,522 80.
