Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-01-24
EVENING NEWS.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. afternoon,

ing up the street in gay style. Oppo-
site where we were, however, was moth
ing but mud, and a person to sleigh it
must consider snow q mere matter Of
moonshine. On came the team until it
became apparent that thing was deci-
dedly drumming on the ground" as the
runners were already entirely buried in
the mud: At this juncture the driver
made an attempt to turn around, and in
so doing one of the..horses broke a swim
gletree, and as soo as the piece struck
his heels he commenced to kick, and
tried to run. The tongue came down
and the other horse showed q good dis
position to run also, but having too
much load he made poor Roadway. The
driver held on with good grit, but final
ly the other horse broke loose and away
they went down street at full tilt as far
as we could see. What became ofthem
we did not understand, as the street
was full Of people in a moment after the
horses passed. The team belonged to
the Gould & Curry, and was a beautiful
span Of greys. No one was injured, and
the only thing broken on the sleigh was
one Of the swingletrees.
ANOTHER FAIR.-It has already been
noticed that the ladies Of St. Paul's
Church in Virginia, are going to hold a
fair on the 18th, l4th and 18th days Of
February. We have no doubt this fair
will be one of the finest ever held in
Virginia City. The entertainment will
consist of new and novel tableaux,
charades and singing Of solos BY some
Of the best talent Of the city, and will
conclude each evening with a social
dance. There will be connected with
the fair, q Valentine Postofice, which
will be open day and evening; also a
general Valentine Postoffce for the city,
and an express to deliver Valentines
to all portions of the city. Every gentle
lady and child will find at the office a
valentine from his her lad or lassie, and
we earnestly hope that none of those
sentimental expressions will be wasted
upon the 'desert air, or be permitted
to 20 the dead letter office. Gentlemen
will find valentines for sale on the most
reasonable terms connected with the
postohice; and we would remind them
that as Valentines Day comes but once
a year, the public will not be urged to
~patronize or buy at any of the DEPART
ments, but will find every entertainment
equivalent to the fee paid.
Dox'r LIKE SLEIGHISG.-0n last even
ing we saw q couple of young gentle
men of Virginia, who had secured the
company of two of yirginia's fairest
flowers to accompany them on a sleigh
ride. A splendid sleigh and a pair Of
fancy bob-tailed horses were brought
into service, the precious freight placed
in the seat, and all being ready, the
word to go was given. But, alas! one
of the bob-tails said he did not see the
fun of sleighing in mud, and ~repudiated.
The horrible beastl When urged, he
reared up and threw himself in the mud. |
The next move was to unload and try |
how that would do, thinking the trip |
was for the stable, he 40 longer refused, |
but went right along. he was deceived, |
for be had his hips as well as his blood
warmed for q short time. We were
there looking for an item, and n Of
the ladies remarked, as We came up:
.sDo you see him, We are betrayed We
agreed to say nothing, nor have We; nor
would we care if the horse had broken
his neck for doing so mean a thing as
refusing to obey the wishes Of ladies OF
their profession; for it is our weakness.
AccIDESr.-Yesterday, on Main street
Gold Hill, a man on horseback attempt
ed to take a large bundle of papers in
his hands, when his horse became
frightened and made a tremendous
spring into the middle Of the street
where he fell at full length; fortunately,
however, the mud was something like q
foot deep, and the fall did not injure
either man or horse, and no other dam
age was done than daubing both
with some of Gold Hills silver bearing
soil. This is the first good result we
have seen arising from the mud this
season.
OPERA HoUsE.-The performance at
the Opera House last evening, as usual,
was good. The FIRST piece, ''Nayal En-
gagements," was well played with n
exception, which was, some Of actors
had their parts poorly committed, which
spoiled the effect Of the piece very much.
The last piece was well received. The
audience was very good, considering it
was the middle Of the week and the
state of the weather. The Club is CIV
ing excellent entertainments, conse-
quently will have good houses.
KEEP IT IN ArSD.-Remember the Ball
of Eagle Engine Company No. 3, to
come off at the Athletic Club Room on
the evening of the 18th Of February.
The most extensive preparations are be-
ing made to make it the Ball OF the sea-
son. No. 3 is a favorite with Gold Hill
fremen, and many of the boys from
here will give Threes q lift, and Threes
will doubtless return the compliment on
the 22d of next month.
CoAsrrSG.-But little is going on in
Virgins this morning but coasting.
Large crowds assemble at the best points
for this amusement and to judge from
the noise they make we hould say the
sport is good. We are too old to see
any fun in sliding down hill and pulling
q sled up again. The reckless way they
rush in together, not only is dangerous, |
but shows a lack of good sense.
CERTAIN REMEDY.-Doyle & Goodman
have a certain preventative for cold feet
or hands, as well as being a certain pre-
yentative to taking cold. Since the re-
cent fall of snow large numbers have
tested it and pronounce it excellent.
BuLLIoS.-There was shipped from
Wells, Fargo l. Co.'s Gold Hill office,
this morning, IL bars of bullion,
weighing 72s pounds, which is valued
at $lT,s5s 26.

Hill, received this morning, for melting
and assay, 1905 ounces crude bullion.
