Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-10-29
PERsoyAt.-Judge Brockway, Of Cali

f~ornia, was in town yesterday, and left
his card for US with regrets that he did
not happen to call when he could have
enjoyed the light Of our countenauce.
We reciprocate the regrets. The Judge
and ourselves were near neighbors OF
old, and the State line that divided us
did not prevent our occasional inter-
change Of civilities at q Shaker blowout
in Lebanon or q cattle show in Pitts
field. We wish the Judge were a peg
UPON the Supreme Bench of Califor-
mia, where he ought to nave been, aud
where he would have been if the Dutch
Flat Railroad Company had not spent
$50, 900 to defeat him before the Con-
veutiou, anduominate Currey, whom the
people defeated because Of the source Of
his success in the Convention. We had
the pleasure, on yesterday, Of meeting
and conversing with Mr.. VI. S. Bonni-
field, late editor of the Humboldt Regis
ter. Mr.. Bouuifeld reports looming
up times in Humboldt county. He is
q vigorous writer, and while editing the
Register he abused US Republicans in a
very artistic style. He developed moth
ing to US in politics, except to inciden-
tally remark that very few in Humboldt
county favored negro suffrage. Alarge
number of Humboldters are in Virginia
city.
FiRsr-RArE.-The new piece now be-
ing played Mt Piper's, called ''rhe Stu
dents of Heidelburgh," is tirst-rate.
Go and see it stay and see it. Ii is q
heat sketch, and is well arranged on the
stage by manager RhosdeS. Miss Jennie
Morton's new song and dance is excel
leat. She has not n strong voice, out
she dances on time aud with q VIM
Tuer's old big-shoe dance is on the bills,
and is rs good n jump to look at MS ever.
But see the last piece-it IS II scream
er." Foster has n chance in 1t, q ne

appears well in the chorus; in which
Miss Jennie Morton, Maggie Brewer,
Miss Hendrick, Clara Stanley and Miss
Hudson appear as students Rhoades,
as the Theatrical Manager, is efficiently
.'got up" and he and Foster and
Wes,wood are t~ragically blowed
down. Miss Kate O'Neil makes a de-
cided success in the piece. Tonight 1t
is repeated.
JOE McCoRxLE.-Old Joe McCorGle,
and Marshall, who used to be deputy
county Recorder of Storey, are both in
DAYTON, Ohio. Judge Frizell showed us
a letter, this morning, from Marshall.
He says that McCorkle had just returned
from Washington, where he had been
10 see how the "goose hung" From
the news which McCorkle brought from
Washington, and related by Marshall,
we should Judge that Andy is very heavy
on the women clerks in the United States
Treasury Department-as he wanted
them all discharged, or turned out OF
Office. But Secretary McCulloch pro-
tests /: says, ait can't be done, impossi-
BILE as they have all been connected too
long with the floor Of the Department,

A TREMENDOUS BLow.-On Sunday
forenoon there was the greatest wind
storm of the season. Columns of dust
and sand swept along our streets with a
force that carried everything light n
movable along with them in the d'rec-
ton Of the prison. This storm came up
very suddenly and as quickly subsidized.
The only damage done so far rs we
know was the tearing down OF q few
signs and the blowing over OF a barn
near the White House.-Cdrson appeal.

things conceived there all the while,

hold of when you see the point
of the Jokes. Grand hoodoo tonight.
