THE EVENING NEWS.
MEAN Practice. There is a most

gina city, which we have frequently
noticed and have often thought Of men,
tioning, as it is something that may
prove Of much value to some at least.
When any of the police make an arrest
there is u crowd that follows the officer
to the Station House, and ONE Of them,
without knowing anything about what
the person was arrested for, begin at
once to use abusive language about the
officer arresting the party, thinking by
that means to create q sympathy for the
prisoner and to prejudice the public
against the officers. These parties no
doubt have been in limbo themselves,
and expect to be again, and do this in
self-defense. 1t would be good policy
for these parties to attend to their own
business, for forbearance ceases to be a
virtue sometimes, and some of these
days they will find a private room in
McGinnis' Hotel for the pains they take
in attending to other peoples business
and not TO their own.
BROKE HIS LEG.-Ycsterday evening,
at ) o'clock, VIM. A. Perkins, who IS
employed in Morrill's drug store, south
c street, was coasting down Union
street on q small sled, and when at the
corner Of Union and q streets, the sled
passed so hear the lamp-post that his
leg, which extended outside OF the sled,
came in contact with the post with such
force as to snap the bone OF Il little
above the knee. He was At once carried
to his residence on + street, where Drs.
Steel and CASTOR set the injured hmb.
IL is only u simple fracture and will o
incur any danger rs TO looSing his leg.
This is just as we predicted, and our
predictions are not out yet; there are
others who are destined TO have limbs
broken, if not necks. When will men
learn not TO be children. This Is the
frs, serious accident that has occurred
this season. Mr.. Perkins is a young
man, and has been married but a short
time.
CHoxEp.-0n Thursday last, while
Mr.. Delmas, proprietor Of the belmont
co Restaurant, was eating dinner, he
arose from the table 10 speak to 4 man
on some business, having some clam
chowder in his mouth att time, which
he attempted TO swallow. Unfortunate
", however, there WAS 3 bone or scale
in i, that stuck fast in his throat. He
strenuous efforts TO throw it up,
but was unable to do so until he became
so completely strangled that his eyes
were bulged in their sockets, and his
face was as black as an Africans. At
this juncture, a lady who was in the
room having practised the art OF slap
ping babies on the back when they
choked, gave him a thump on the back
to correspond with his age and size,
and the stroke shook every bone in him,
lcoseuing it so that it was expelled easily.
is a good wa rniug to chowder-eaters
10 examine for bones before swallow
ing.
UNION PRAYER MEErISG.-Last even
ing we attended the Union prayer meet
ing At the Methodist Church in Virginia.
There were not near 81 many present as
should have been in a city Of the size OF
Virginia. These meetings have been
now kept up for two weeks and will con-
tinue for the coming week at least. The
next meeting will be at the Presbyterian
Church, on next Tuesday evening at
O'Clock. Let every member of the diff
ferent churches attend. There is moth
ing sectarian connected with them, 1t Is
a union Of all the orthodox Churches to
make an effort to do something in the
way of religion and to better the morals
Of Storey County. Such OF the church
members Of Gold Hill as can attend, are
requested to do so. The invitation IS
most cordially extended to those who
are not members of any church to come
also, as it consumesb but one hour IN the
evening. Many more might attend II
they would.
Crown PorSr.-Yesterday we were
down Al, the Crown Point mine. We
found Smith and his crew pulling things
to pieces. He was like the boy with his
dumb watch, he had pulled the engine
down to see what made it go. There he
was, with q big wrench, twisting away,
taking off the last nut, while one OF his
DEVILS was making pasteboard washers
for bolts. We asked him what he was
doing, and he said the engine had got
out Of line, and he was truing 1t up,
and would be ready to start up again In
a few hours. We also saw men at work
preparing a place to put up another
large tank for water. The Crown Point
is one of our best mines and moves along
so smoothly that it is a difficult matter
for us to find an item about it. We
have a bid to come and see the mine
when Smith gets time to show US the
elephant.
DEER MEAr.-Deer meat is becoming
as plentiful in Virginia as mutton. We
saw twelve enormously fat deer hanging
in front of the Central Marketthis morn
ing. There is not anything in the shape
of game on the coast but what may be
found in our markets. We were made
the recipient Of q splendid venison
steak by Mr.. Straus, which was duly
appreciated and relished, as only a
hungry Local can relish q good thing
