To PARENrs.-We would suggest t
the parents of children in both Colo
Hill and Virginia, to pay some attention
to where their children so ut night,
Last evening, in Virginia, at about
o'clock, we were standing on a street
corner talking with a friend, when oui
attention Was attracted to q crowd oil
boys Of the age Of five to ten years old.
They were putting together what money
they had to buy liquor with and all
were much elated at the idea OF having
something to drink. Some wanted
Lager, while others wanted something
more celebrating. We listened to them
until they had made a collection Of all
! the dimes and quarters in the crowd,
and had appointed one Of their number
10 20 in search Of the liquor. At this
juncture, we felt it a duty to turn tenn
perauce lecturer, and put q stop to this
the FIRST step in the path Of drunkenness.
| We made threats to publish the name
| Of each boy unless they went directly
home. They accordingly became scared
and scattered in all directions. If pa
rents wish to avoid having their chill
drengrow up drunkards and cut-throats,
they should see that they are no per-
mitted to run to all kinds OF dens
| of infamy and crime. Many persons in
| Virginia never inquire where their boys
are after dark; but let them do rs they
please. Il is q duty We " to the COM
munity to see that the young are cared
for, and are not permitted to contract
such habits. Some Of the boys Of whom
we speak are Of the best families of Fir-
ginia.
HoRsr DISEASE. have heard,
within a few days, of a peculiar disease
which has broken out among the horses
and mules employed in our quartz wag-
ons. 1t seems to be a kind Of hoof-rot,
and quite a number ofanimals have been
fatally attacked with it-some half n
dozen having been dlsabled-aud died,
| within q week. The best science, vete-
rinary and medical, is now engaged IN
solving the nature Of the complaint, and
we hope, before another week expires,
that the secret Of the complaint and its
remedies may be fully developed, and its
fatality stayed. Many thousands Of dol
lars are invested in the fine animals en-
| ployed in our quartz-tesming business
| and we sincerely trust that no well ed
| ucated Doctor Of Medicine will hesitate
a moment to aid in saving from useful
ness or death the many noble animals
, employed in our main business interests.
We are aware that it 10 a delicate mat
ter for a person having n fine horse or
mule seriously or mysteriously afflicted
to ask the opinions or the aid Of an NJ.
| D., for his dumb brute-because pro-
| fessionsl men sometimes think i. degrs-
| ding to step down from their specially
~ practitioners for the benefit Of man
kind, TO that Of preseribers for brutcs.
But, among people Of sound sense, the
alienation rendered to q poor dumb
brute by any doctor is fully appreciated.
Let no false professional pride stand in
the way now, for there is danger that
the disease Of which we speak may be
very serious.
CHIxlsp FUxlRAL.-Yesterdsy after
noon the body Of the Chiusmsn who
was shot a short time since, was taken
to its place of burial. First came the
hearse with the driver and n Chinaman
on the seat. The Chinsman WAS scat
tering papers along the road, each pa
| per having nine holes punched through
il. This was done to light the body to
| the grave. Next to the hearse was a
cab with the most aristocratic Of China
town; then came buggies and wagons
| filed with Celestials Of both sexes. Tho
males and females, however, were not
mixed, each wagon being filled either
with women or men. The last wagon
in the procession had several baskets Of
Chinese cookery, confectionaries, fire.
crackers, ETC., to be placed at the grave
so that when John came to he might
have something to eat and some fire.
crackers to shoot off to let his friends
know he WAS around. When the body
was put into tho cofin there was a gen.
| ersl pow-wov among the members Of
| his company, although the most Of Chi
natown was much rejoiced at his death.
as he Was a desperate fellow and was
much dreaded by tho Chinawomen, as
his business was to kidnap women and
sell them. The Chinese are a peculiar
people and will never become civilized.
OpERA HoUsn.-Lsst evening, on the
occasion of II. F. Stones benefit, there
was q very small audience; in fact
scarcely II corporal's guard was present
The play was one Of tho best Of the sea-
son, and was pu: On the boards in good
shape. The great reason for there be-
ing so few present is found in the fact
thai last month there were q great many
who were idle, and until another pay
day will have 40 money. Another rea-
son is, that the management Of the the
alter 10 not according to the liking OF
the majority of the public. Some who,
as far AS seen, are well liked, have filled
nothing higher than a second or third
position, or, as it is termed, a "soup's'
place. If there is u star Of magnitude
| let il shine at the head, and If there are
10 be other stars to shine, let every one
have a chance to show its light, and
allow the people to judge for themselves
who Il q star. It is the money Of the
people they play for, and it is the people
who are to be pleased. Let each actor
have a chance, and then see If there are
not better houses.
BrAurrruL!-Besls' porcelain pictures
are all the &C. They are positively the
fines. We have ever seen. Ladies and
gents, if you want a fine likeness, and
one tina, will make you look very pretty,
just call on A. J. Beals, of Gold Hill
and you will be sure to get suited, for
his work is 6ne.
