sr,u G.z,yG.-A grand moteoric
shower was predicted to occur the l3th
az Noy,mber. 1866, and was confidently
cxnected by a large number who had
f.;,b in the correctness Of astronomical
predictions. Those persons think II Will
probably occur about these days, ana
ar. watching for n grand display Of
rrial observation-disclosures appeal.
Relative TO the above we will state
,ha, quite q display of falling stars Was
noticed this morning before sunrise, by
several Of our citizens who were up at
that time. The meteoric phenomenon
continued for several hours, the stars
falling continually on all sides Of the
heavens, toward tho horizon. This
little display was probably only n small
skirmishing party, thrown out in adj
vance of the grand pyrotechnic cxhibi-
ton so long predicted to take place.
All interested in this special matter
would do well to sit up and watch all
night, or else hire a policeman to wake
them in ease they should DO asleep
when the big show t%ranspircs.
PERsoxAL.-Judgc ]. E. Aldrich, so
long and favorably known hereabouts,
but resident more recently at Pine Grove,
Wilson District, has returned from that
locality, and is en- route for u visit to his
old homo in Michigan. Hon. James A.
St. Clair, member Of the Assembly OF
this State for the last two years, also
leaves on the next steamer, with his
family, for n visit to Paris, Kentucky,
their former homo.
BLACK CRoox.-Mirth, fun and gen
eral jollity reign supreme at this festive
little institution. People who want to
have a good time, good seat, good drink,
and good cigar, go to the Crook. There
is talent on the stage at the Crook every
evening, and we have heard it whispered
that they also display gorgeous "Shape'
there. There certainly is something
attractive, otherwise so many wouldn't
be going there.
RrcovrRIya.-The little Piute Indian
girl found a few days since, near Vir-
ginia, BY the side of its dead mother,
almost perishedf from exposure and want
Of food, is at the County Hospital, IND
already nearly recovered. The story OF
its being paralyzed or disabled in its
lower limbs, DR.. Bronson says is n mis-
take. Here is a chance for some one to
adopt what might mako a good servant
by and by.
BARN BURyED.-A barn belonging to
Mr.. Allen, together with some 40 tons
of hay, was destroyed by fire on Monday
morning last, about 20 miles below Rag

Syow.-The north hill sides about US
still retain patches of the white covering
with which they were basted" about
u week G it is, however, fast disap-
pearing beneath the genial rays Of a
Washoe sun.
Drying Ur.-The present delightful
weather has the effect to dry up tho
mud in the streets, so that they are now
in pretty fine order. Unless it rains we
shall have dust again in two or three
days.
THAT HOLE FILLED ur.-The great
hole in B street, created by the recent
care in the Chollar-Potos mine, is filled
up all right, and heavy teams are again
passing over it as usual.
