THE EVENING NEWS.

saw. w can't blame him for thinking
it rather rough up here, for it must evil
IDENTIFY seem so to one who in six hours
time was wheeled up from q valley
where spring, with its soft and balmy
zephyrs, has persuaded old Dame Ma
ture to send forth the flowers and grass
to deck herself with their loyeliest
charms, to a climate where nothing but
ice and snow is to be seen, and the
chilly blasts of winter would make even
an Esquimaux Shudder. Now is the
time to take a trip to the Truckee. The
river is up, and fishing is excellent. |
The valley begins to show the first YER
dancy Of spring. A short visit to the
valley from the barren wastes Of this
region would prove a source Of much
pleasure to those who have been penned
up during the long and stormy winter.
The road from Virginia to the edge OF
the valley will soon be in good order,
when many will doubtless avail them
selves Of the pleasure of a trip TO the
valley Of the Truckee.
A Row. Yesterday afternoon, on
South c street, nearly opposite the Saw
age office, a row occurred in an Irish
drinking saloon. Officer Higbee being
near at hand proceeded to put a stop to
it. But when he arrived at the house
he found the door locked, and the lord
Of the establishment at the window with
his arm out through n broken light OF
glass, In his hand he swung a sharp
pick while he swore ''by the powers he
would kill the first man who attempted
TO com near" Special officer Cook
was called, who seized the mans arm
and held i, while Higbee forced in the
door. Three of the parties were ar
rested and taken 10 the Station House.
One of the remaining ones who did not
seem 10 be engaged in the room, follow
ed the officers TO the S~tation-house, de-
handing the immediate release OF the
others. when he was also arrested TOT
resisting an officer. and locked up.
Some time ago we gave this ofhcious
class of persons some good advice In
this matter. but they would not take
warning. 1, is a work of a moment,
but il takes some men a lifetime 10
learn 10 mind their own business and
let other men alone.
ANOTHER Bic Syow-SLlpE THREE
LIVES Losr.-Mr. Theodore Hale informs
us that some eight days ago another
huge avalanche fell on the Bonner Lake
road near the summit. II rushed down
the steep slope Of the mountain and
overwhelmed a cabin in which were
thirteen white men, covering the build
ing to the depth of nearly one hundred
feet in snow. II was thirteen hours
before the buried men were dug out,
when three were found 10 have persisted.
One man had succeeded in roofing his
way through the snow and was within
four fee, Of the surface when found.
One of those dug out began cursing his
liberators as soon as his head was I'M
covered for being so long about digging
down to him. The men who were COW
cred up was a party engaged in building
a culver,. The bodies Of those sufo-
Gated were taken to Auburn for inter
men, on Wednesday last. 1t is now the
season for a~valanches aud we may e1-
pect to hear of many accidents In the
mountains caused by their sudden fall
ing.
GoSE.-Col. Hermann, for a long time
a resident of Storey county, and a man
who has many warm friends in Nevada,
left this morning for San Francisco, via
Bonner lake route. We saw the Colonel
last evening, on his way to the hotel.
He was duly sober, but his pockets
looked suspicious. In each pocket was
a bottle with the card hanging out.
These were parting donations from
friends, and will, no doubt, find a mar
ke, crossing the Sieras. John r. Clark,
also an old resident Of this county, and
a man mnch esteemed by all who know
him, left By the Overland stage for the
Atlantic States. II is not the design OF
either party to ever return to the land
of sage-brush and silver again.
CAy'r TAKE ALL.LAn Irishman who
was found guilty of violating the law
was yesterday fined SIS, in g~reenbacks,
in the Police Court of Virginia. He
had on hand nearly coin enough to set
tie the fine, but as the Constable was
about to pass over the money TO the
Court, Pat could not see it, and informed
the Court that the money was all he had,
and il was not himself who was going
to give up the last clint and have noshin
to buy tobaccay or git a square male,
when | git out again. Pat..evidenay
concluded that during the dull times 1t
was better to make So per day and
board, and have something when he
got out.
.THASxs.-The Virginia City Board OF
Aldermen last evening adopted, unan-
imously, a resolution ironically thank
ing our legislative delegation, except
Sumner, for passing a bill for George
F. Jones L Co., whereby the Board says
the city is swiudled out Of $50, 900. Sen,
ator Sumner fought and protested
against the passage Of the bill; and
came within a few seconds Of talking II
out Of life. Bias. will probably approve
the bill.
HAULING Syow.-Yesterdsy and to-
day several men were engaged with q
horse ana sleu, III ieuo'Aab
from Union street, between B and c
streets. The snow which was shoveled
from the tops Of buildings into the
street was about four feet deep and was
tramped down until it had become. as
hard as ice. All the cross-streets IN
Virginia are filed up with snow, and 1t
will REQUIRE weeks Of fair weather to
melt it away.
SPRING Goops.-Mr. Frankenheimer,
the popular dry goods merchant ofGold
Hill. started over the mountains for the
