belongs to, when q quarrel ensued and
he was forced to run with half a dozen
Cinnamon, armed with knives and hatch
cts, at his heels. Sammy caused two
Cinnamon, whom he pointed out, to be
arrested, aud while they were being
marched up, u fresh battle began and a
portion OF the officers were obliged to
return and stop the row. In the last

BLACK CRoox.-This popular place OF
amusement, in Virginia city, draws
crowded houses nightly, and is the only
place open at present. A friend of ours
was there last night for the first time,
and we heard him this morning express
his admiration in very warm terms OF
the excellent troupe Of performers. The
programme OF amusements consisted Of
n variety Of very pretty songs, senti-
mental and comic, puus, conundrums,
witticisms, and a grand plantation
Hwslk around" which really had fun
enough in it to repay the price Of sd-
mission. After which there were dan
cling, singing large variety of the
latter-and some comic plays. Harry
Spriggs is u irst-rate eud-man, bones /;
and Ned Buckley is ditto-tamborine.
Harry comes nearer Johnny Tuers' style
than any negro deliueator we have seen
OF the stage, and is decidedly clever.
Johnny Edwards is also a really good
performer, and is particularly good in
the "walk around The young lady
performers dsported themselves in a
rather modest manner; and take it all
in all, the Black Crook is not such an
immoral place as some folks have been
led to believe. So our informant tells
us. A tine programme is out for this
evening.
s'THE BURSAu."-Charley White and

UNIQUE name Of ''The Bureau '-(proba-
bly because there are two very popular
aracers of customers in it, Charley and
Harry We dropped in TO see them
this morning, and were surprised TO see
such magnificent, metropolitan taste
and splendor manifested in all its Ar
engagements. We sampled over their
excellent wines, liquors and cigars, aud
also some of their delicious Chop-House
preparations, and we feel confident that
if any man from Gold Hill, Silver, Day
ton, or Carson needs the whsrewith to
make him ''hsppy and cootent, it a
be obtained at "The Bureau"

RESIDENCE DESTROYED BY FrRE.-ou
Monday morning last, while the family
of Mr.. F. ". Peters were at breakfast,
their neat little cottage just around the
point of the hill to the southwest OF
Carson about a mile, took FIRE from the
kitchen ~stovepipe passing through the
roof, and soon the whole building was
enveloped in flames. After the house
took FIRE, the few moments that trans
pired in which furniture and bedding
could have been saved, were spent by
the occupants of the premises in vain
endeavors to extinguish the ire conse
