silver bricks.
Sr,nn,yG.-Last evening, about half
p,s, : o'clock, a man by the name Of
John yeenau was stabbed by John Do
Ian. in front of the Washoe Brewery,
the Divide. \ few days ago there
was some difficulty between the Neenan
and Dolan families, when Doian caused
W-S Ncenan 20 be arrested for disturb
ING the peace, and was found guilty n
6ne6 $40. Since this, Neenan has been
ON the lookout for Dolan, intending 10
punish him. Last evening he waited IN
from, of the Washoe Brewery for nearly
-, bonr. in order TO catch Dolau, know
that he must pass that way IN going
10 his work. When Dolan, who Is q
miner. finally came alonS, Neenan
assaulted him, knocking out some OF
his front teeth and badly cutting him
the head. Dolan had in his hand
n miners candlestick, and In self
defense. as we are informed, used II
Neeuau, s,abbing him twice-onee
under the ribs on the right side, IN the
region Of the liver, aud 4 second time
above the naval and penetrating
into the cavity of the abdomen. Ut.
CASTOR informs US that he prooed the
wound to the depth of four inches, and
that he considers Neenan's recovery
doubtful. Dolan, who was very oaaly
beaten, went to Judge Adkison's Court
after the afrray and swore out q warrant
for Neenan's arrest, apparently oeinS
unaware Of the dangerous nature Of the
injuries he had inflicted with his candle
stick.
FrRE.-Las, night about . O'Clock an
attempt was made to burn a block OF
wooden buildings on B street, Virginia,
by kindling a fire under the sidewalk IN
Of the United States Restaurant.
The FIRE was discovered the moment 1t
flashed up through the planks OF the
sidewalk. and was extinguished by the
prompt application OF a few buckets OF
water. Washoe Engine Co. No. 4, whose
hall is in the immediate vicinity, were
promptly on hand, but did not hnd II
necessary to play upon the hire. NO
general alarm was given. After the
flames we're ex,inguished W. barrels
containing straw and n hiled with
shavings were found under the walk
all partially consumed.
Internationally we had the
pleasure Of meeting n Of the extensive
family of Smiths. in the shape OF John
Smith. who, like ourself, commenced
his sufferings in Como. For the past
nine months he has been following the
star of his destiny, and it led him to
Belmont, Reese River, Salt Lake and to
the principal places in Montana, and he
is once more in Gold Hill, which place,
he SAYS, is entirely superior to any town
he has seen in all his rambles. Belmont
is an excellent place TO do business, but
i, has TO be done on Il credit system,
with no chance to ever make a coliec-
ton. Storey county is evidently the
chimney of this State.
BnlLLrAyr.-We learn from some Of
our citizens, who attended the ball at
Silver City night before last, that it was
the mos, brilliant affair Of the kind ever
witnessed in that lively little town.
The only drawback was the hall was
too small for the number of persons who
were present. Dayton was strongly
and a goodly number from
Gold Hill and Virginia were present.
City, like all small towns, goes
in for a good sociable time, and they
generally make it q success. All that
formality usually attending social gath
in cities is laid aside, and their
whole aim is to enjoy themselves.
TREArEn.-Last evening the adver-
tised performance n, the Theater was a
failure, owing, no doubt, to the fact
that the Panorama and Odd Fellows
benefit took nearly every one away.
But few went to the Theater, and no
performance was given. We understand
they will open the house again about
the 9Th or 7th of next month, when Mrs.
stone will Join them, making it a very
superior company. No doubt but the
house will have a good run if they open
it about the beginning OF the month,
when money is more plentiful
BuRaLARy.-Last evening, between .
and Q o'clock, = room in the Nevada
Brewery, Virginia, was entered by fore,
ing a window, and between six ana
seven hundred dollars in coin taken
from a trunk. Besides the DIN there
vas in the trunk a lsdy's gold watch
and a specimen breast-pin, which the
