THE EVENING NEWS.

CHARrry.-Now is a most excellent
time for the citizens Of Gold Hill and
Virginia to show their charity. We
have not heard Of any one in Gold Hill
who was in destitute circumstances, and
in need Of assistance; but we under
stood, yesterday, that there were families
in Virginia who were actually suffering
with cold and for want of food. The
present price Of wood is such that many
poor persons are unable to procure
enough to prevent them from freezing.
We heard it reported that a child in
some poor family had died from cold
and hunger, and that others were suffer-
ing. Father Monogue, we learned, went
to their assistance. Many Of the lead
ing men Of Virginia are talking Of taking
hold Of the matter, and seeing what can
be done in the premises. All that is
necessary, is for some n to take the
i~nitiatory step, and the good work Of
relieving the wants Of the poor and
suffering will be attended to. Our
stores are full Of provisions, yet the
people suffer from hunger. 1t is no dis
honor to be poor, and those who are in
want should let it be known, and the
necessary assistance will be rendered
them at once. We do not believe there
is more generous-hearted people on
earth than the citizens OF Gold Hill and
Virginia, always ready and willing to
help those in distress, if they know
where to find them, their only
failing being want of in
terest in hunting them up. Quite a
number Of persons have spoken 70 US or
on this subject and requested that some
thing should be said to stir the people
up in regard to it. Let some action be
taken in the premises at once. Go out
into the suburbs Of the city and see that
all the destitute are cared for, and the
money that is thus expended will be
like the ''bread cast upon the waters"
If not a return in money the satisfaction
of having done q kindness to some poor
sufferers is recompense enough.
STILL 1T SSows.-During yesterday
afternoon the snow storm turned to a
rain storm and continued for a short
time, when the clouds broke away and
nature was about TO smile, but some
one said they wished it would rain. In
a few moments longer the sky was dark
and lowering. 4 strong wind sprung
up from the south, the air became chill
", and at 9 o'clock it set in to snow
again very hard and has continued up
to the present time. The snow, by &C
tual measurement by some parties who
have been testing it, is said TO be over
six feet on the level. Wood is worth
$50 per cord and scarce at that.
WAsHwoxrS on THE WAR-PArH.-Yes-
terday evening, on F street, Virginia,
two washwomen got into a pitch-battle.
II seems one Of the women WAS Irish
and the other was q French Canadian
woman. As near as we could ascertain
the cause of the difficulty, it originated
from both parties being in love with
one man. The Irish woman being Of a
fiery disposition, she took a club and
went after her rival, and pounded her
up ratner oauIy.
AyALAScHEs.-We have heard Of q
number Of ~svalanches or snow-slides in
the Sierras for a few days past. If the
present state of weather continues,
those living on the upper streets in Vir-
GINA are in danger of being swept away
by a snow slide. A great portion OF
Mt. Davidson is entirely free from snow,
while in other places the snow is very
deep, having been drifted into small
mountains by the wind.
MAX. WALTER. Max. Walter has
leased Piper's Opera House, aud will go
TO California as soon as he can get over
the mountains for a Minstrel Troupe.
Max. is our man TO run a show. he
has always given better shows b
any one who has ever made the attempt.
The house will be changed in many re-
spects, making a decided improvement
on it. We hope Max. will meet with
the best Of success.
UPsrr.-Yesterday, Charley White, of
the International Saloon, and another
gentleman took a sleigh ride out on the
Geiger grade. Whether they were top
heavy or not, we are unable to say, but
one thing is certain-the sleigh was up
Sc. and both parties were dumped in
the snow. As no damage was done,
Charley thinks it was good fun.
IT appears by the late decision of
Judge Dewey that all Photographers
wishing to take photographs must pur-
chase the right to do so in these United
States. A. J. Beals has the sole right
for this State, and all who take photo
graphs must obtain the right to do so
from him.
