lid CAT IN UOLD hlLL.-Noe iSiiuo
stocks, but a regular wild cat, a be
seen at the Gold Hill Market, next door
to the News office. II is q female, and
evidently possessed Of all the scratchy
desires and fierce proclivities OF ga wo-
man scorned." 1t is about rs large as
a medium-sized dog, or seven tom-cats,
is of the usual grayish color, and the
eyes shoot forth naught but internal
CLEANS of intense hate toward the whole
human race. 1t is Gagged in q dry goods
box, with Stats nailed across the front,
and is kept out Of mischief by means OF
a stout chain and u collar about its neck.
This wild beast was captured some six
or seven weeks ago in Lost Canon, near
the head of Walker river, the place
where Fremont and his men, on the hrst
trip to California across the Plains,
failed to make their way through, and
had to back out aud leave some OF their
munitions Of war behind. The feline
monster was captured by means Of las
so. 1t must have been quite u ticklish
job getting that collar about its neck
aud forcing the %critter into the box.
WIcxEs TAKkrH UP THE GAUNTLET.
At the Spiritualist lecture Of Mrs. Cor
don, last evening, in Virginia, Rev. j.
E. Wickes, pastor Of the NJ. Il. Church,
appeared and took IN active part IN the
performance. He arose at the commence
ment, and stated that he considered the
souls of the audience were at stake in
this matter, and after some little party
ing, gave the lecturer-with the consent
Of the audieuce-a subject for the eve
ning's discourse. The lady handled the
subject in q most able and satisfactory
tanner, in adiscourse Of over an hours
duration, ut the conclusion OF which
brother Wickes arose and made some
remarks in reply, working himself up
to a high pitch Of excitement. Some OF
his remarks were considered insulting,
aud he was called to order by numerous
voices. The scene was a very lively
one. The Hall was densely packed, and
it was the opinion of most people that
Mr.. Wickes got pretty essentially
% snuffed out" Why did he not try
Todd a hitch. when he was lecturing on
the same subject in Virginia? He will
discuss with Mrs. Gordon at the NJ. +.
Church, Taylor street, this evening.
