THE EVENING NEWS.
THE Moon FrRrs IA correspondent

is made of a most remarkable eclipse Of
the moon which look place on the morn
ing of Nav 3Oth, and was witnessed by
several persons, who, with myself were
passengers on Bakers Fast Freight
coach running the Plncerville route to
Virginia City. At about three o'clock
in the morning the moon, in Its last
quarter, appeared to be in a blaze, with
the upper horn cut of, and presently
the lower horn commenced diminishing
ill Of the segment or crescent there only
remained the middle portion, presenting
the appearance offs fragment with both
horns abruptly cut off and the lower
extremity in a blaze. lhave never seen
or heard of such an eclipse and have
been unable TO iud any astronomer who
can give any feasible explanation. l
should mention that the singular sp-
peArauce dwelt hxedly upon the two
horns for apparently two hours, aud
after its disappearance there became
visible = star Of the magnitude of the
evening star but uncommouly brilliant.
VETERINARY SrRGEoS.-Dr. J. McKen-
zie Munro, the excellent veterinary sur
geou. whose office and hospital have
been on the Divide, has removed to
Smith street, near the corner Of c, yir-
GINA city-(Smith street is opposite
Cahil 4 Co.'S brokers' ofice)-where
be is prepared at all times to attend to
his calling, and 10 receive patients. The
Doctor is an old hand At the business;
and his presence here, where there are
so many valuable horses aud mules in
continual use, and where q good veteri-
nary surgeon is so frequently required
TO attend TO them, should not be over
looked. Many a horse and mule goes
to the bone-yard in the course of a year;
whereas, if early remedies were applied
by proper hands, they might be saved.
A well-informed veterinary surgeon is
supposed 10 be as well acquainted With
the ills of q horse or a mule as a gradu-
sted physician Of the ~alopathy, homo
pathy, or hydropathy school of practice
IS with the ailments of the human
family.

which was S347 So, and which was the
product of only four ton OF the ore;
which the Superintendent tells US was
OILY average ore. The iueness OF the

best evidence OF gold from Washington
Distric. we have seen.
