4 FIRE PROOF GrLLEr. - Passing
strange as it may appear, yet absolutely
true it is, that we know of a newspaper
man in Virginia who ~purchaseda bottle of
wha, he thought was Now England rum,
and drank every drop OF it before hs was
made aware of the fact that it was pure
alcohol. lie wouldn't have known 1t
then, If the grocery man had not no
t;ced the label on the bottle when 1t
was brought back to be reflled. Not
the lcss, remarkable part Of the story.
is, that this jenkins was q whole week
drinking that bottle. He had it in his
ROOM, and used it, n swallow Mt a time,
occasionally, when he was at home.
jenkins says he "Sorter suspected some,
thing was wrong with it, as 1t ttcSled
his throat some when he took q nlg
swallow of it," lie thinks he could
tackle sulphuric acid now with perfect
immunity. In accordance with u car
nest recommendation he is going to join
the Good Templars. He thinks things
have gone far enough when his throat
gets so heavily copper-lined that he
can't distinguish the difference between
watered rum and pure fiery alcohol.
OrERA House MELopEoS.-Manager
Rhoades exer,s his gian, energies, and
successfully, too, in always getting up
something new, sensational and pleasing
for the special delectation of the many
patrons of Pipsr's theatrical establish
meut. "Life on the Farralones,' tho
iokincest aud raciest cometietta imag-
Unable, with Fanny Hanks for its bright
particular star, is having q great run.
This is only the afterpiece, however.
Any amount of choice music, popular
ballads, solos, dancing, dramatic and
other d~elineations, etc., every evening,
BY the most talented and versatile COM
pany on the coast. John Piper is the
~iolliest proprietor ever seen. a single
glance at his round, happy phiz is
enough to make a ghost feel hilarious.
In gentlemauly urbanity and courtesy
he is perhaps second only TO his hand
some brother, Henry, whom all the
ladies adore.

Doc AND MAN FIcur.-There was a
very lively and interesting dog light
this forenoon down near the Petaluma
mill, which was well contested and con-
Quoted BY both CANNES; but tho pleas
ing affair was thrown into disrepute by
the owners Of the dogs also sailing into
each other in like manner. Bite, dig,
roll. curse, and pull hair, was the way
they did il. The dogs separated and
left in utter disgust, while their masters
fought it out, and both got whipped.
/. is not difficult to determine, IN a
moral point of view, which came of
best the dogs or the men.
C~oRoyER's ISoUEsT.-An inquest was
held yesterday afternoon by Coroner
Gar,rell, upon the body of Miss A. D.
Lindsay, whose sudden death we men
toned Yesterday. The jury found that
deceased was about 60 years OF age, n
native of Boston, Mass, and that she
died of exposure and old age. She has
n brother or brother-in-law living in
San Francisco. She was buried yester-
day afternoon. The facts in regard to
her last illness were found TO be about
as stated by us in yesterdays issue.
MINING SALE.-The Union Gold and
Silver Mining Company, Palmyra Dis
trict, Lyon county, will hold n sale OF
stock in that valuable mine, next Nom
day, in front of the Office Of G. W. Wal
ton, at Como, to satisfy an assessment
of 81 per share, with costs. We have
convcrsed with several gentlemen who
know the Union mine, and they repre-
sent it as one of the best in Palmyra
District. C. A. Witherell is Secretary.
S., oOo.-Monied men should not for
get that the Board Of Town Trustees OF
Gold Hill will sell a town bond on sealed
~propossls, on next Monday evening, at
the Town Hall, redeemable in two years,
with two per cent. interest per month.
The loan is to be in g%reenbacks. We
presume a bid at n~insty-fve per cent
would fetch it. If ace had the green,
backs we should certainly take the bond
if we could get it at that price.
BULLION SuMMARY.-The total amount
of bullion shipped from Gold Hill and
Virginia for the past week was 5,747
