THE EVENING NEWS.

and C streets, Virginia, last evening
sent us a plate-full Of delicious turtle
steaks, cut as large aud as thick as q
mans hand-the same being a part of a
monster turtle, weighing two hundred
pounds, which might have been seen at
Doyle & Goodman 5 yesterday morn
ing. Well, we had some bully
turtle soup for lunch to-day, and
have felt like singing the celebrated
ditty Of oh, don't you hear the turkle,
turkle dove, a singing on the old bay
tree" Tor something like it, ever since.
All the newspaper men in Storey county
had some of that t~urtle-and we expect
some of them will 60 out to the Truckee
TO hunt turtles next Sunday. Turtles
are good to have around and we would
suggest TO Jim Gray to go into the turtle
business at the Glenbrook, where he
ought to be landlord. He would make
lots Of money.
