Coop o H BorTs.-A quartz team
ster in Gold Hill yesterday, met with a
sad mishap. One Of his finest mules
suddenly sickened with the bolts, and
had to be embarrassed. He rolled and
grunted in great agony orhalf an hour;
and his owners brow fairly sweated
with trouble and anxiety; but not an
inch did he bulge to so for a doctor, or
medicine, while b~ystanders gathered
fast and thick TO witness the agony Of
the poor beast. We were among them,
and ventured TO ask, for information,
as to the nature of the ailment, and
were told that it was "wind." Guess
it was). Presently, Ho Joe, another
teamster, came driving along, which
seemed a great relief to the owner of
the sick animal, who rubbing his hands
and wiping his brow, approached Joe
as a man in dire distress would a doc
tor, and telling him his trouble. asked
what he should do, as ''the. critter'
would die in twenty minutes if he got
no relief. "why he's got the botts,"
said Joe. al know it; and what shall l
give him? Do tell me, Joe, quick"
"Why give him." said Joe, scratching
his head, "a mess of Ferguson's lnaug-
ural."
Gays BABY.-Gray, at the lnterna-
tional saloon, is a singular genius, and
often has singular things around him.
Last evening we were in the saloon, and
he called on US to take a look at his
6a6y. We were unable to deyine his
meaning, at first, but he passed in be-
hind the bar and placed his hands on a
little kind Of a bedstead, which contain
ed a little doll, and at once the little
stranger sung out: "Ohl no mama!
mama" Gray says it is the result Of
the late Fair. He bought a ticket and
they brough: him this TO comfort him in
his old days. 1t is probably the best
Of his family. He says it is the first
one for sixteen years. He also has a
purse which he is getting up for a fund
for Gridley. It is for all who feel q
disposition to help Gridley, to contri-
butte to it. He calls it a standing fund.
II you 90 there, don't fail TO see it; and
if you don't like it, why you need not
make any contribution to it.
The TwESrY-SEcoSD OF F~EBRUARY.-
Considerable preparations are being
made for the proper observance Of the
ed of February. The National Guards
of Virginia city, will be out in new uni
forms. The Sweeny Guards of Gold
Hill, will also be out on parade. At IL
o'clock a target shooting match will
take place at Silver Terrace, east Of Viz
ginia. A silver medal will be given to
the best shot, and q leather n to the
poorest. We acknowledge an invitation
from Capt. Warner, of the National
Guards, to attend the shooting match.
After the shooting they will return to
their Armory, where refreshments will
be served up and a general good time
may be expected. We are glad to see
the spirit with which many Of our citi-
zens take hold of this matter. As long
as we are citizens of this great Republic
let the m Of WASHINGTON remain
fresh in every bosom.
HEAVY STORM on THE MoUSTArSs.-We
learn from Mr.. Gray, Stage Agent OF the
Pioneer and Overland lines, that very
heavy storms have prevailed on the
Sierra Mountains for several days past.
The last stage which arrived at Cisco
yesterday morning, was two hours too
late for the cars, and yet the cars were
not out Of sight when it did arrive. All
that is necessary to do in going over
the mountains is to have a pair Of snow
shoes, and if the srs are gone before
the stage gets in, take the snow-shoes
and 20 after them. A person will take
the down-grade Of the road and travel
from six to fifteen miles an hour on
sn~ow-shoes. The snow fell two feet on
a level at Strawberry Valley, Placerville
route, night before last.
