WAC is AT FAULT ?-Lsst evening, as


WHO Is AT FAuLr?-Last evening, as
We were coming down Main street, we
were saluted by Marshal Cummings,
who said he was going to the station
house to see his pets" Being curious
to know what the nature of his "psts I"
were, we volunteered to 60 with him,
and when we arrived at the door he told
US he had some boys inside arrested for
petit larceny. On entering, we found
five boys the oldest not more than four
teen years, and the youngest perhaps
seven. They were evidently jolly and
seemed to be as much at home in the
station-house as Old Pike I" ever was.
Now, where were their parents and why
were these boys not looked for before
that hour2 Are parents discharging
their duties as good citizens who allow
their children to roam about town all
uight? We recognized in every boy a
couutenance familiar to us as being the
same boy who we have lectured on sew
eral occasions for bad conduct. From
what we saw last evening we are salts
ied that the lookup is not severe enough
for them, and some more effectual rem
edy will be necessary in order TO bring
them into subsection. In n long ex-
perience among crime We have never
seen anything that narrowed our feel
ings more than to see these boys under
lock and key for a crime Of this nature.
We will not give their names at this
time, but ifs like instance occurs again,
the whole thing will be exposed. While
we write, a hint may do no harm. There
are other boys Of an older grade, and
some of them who hold their heads up
as respectable, who are guilty Of bad
conduct, and Marshal Cummings has his
eye on them, and although it may bring
disgrace to some Of the most respectable
families Of our town, he piH discharge
his duty.
A CHURCH ORaAS.-Such an instru-
ment has just been purchased through
Dale & Co., of Virginia city, for, and
placed 10 the gallery Of st. Pstrick's
Catholic church, Of this town. We,
have had the pleasure Of listening to a
rehearsal Of Catholic music, with its ac-
compartment. II is a very powerful
instrument Of its class and all who
have heard it express surprise At its
compass and power. Professor Kuh is
engaged as ~organist at st. Patricks',
where there will soon be the finest de-
livery Of Catholic music that can be held
in the State. The instrument has II
stops, as follows: "Tremulo (l),
" Grand Organ" " Flute ~, "Prin-
cipal" (2), Hautboy" (3), Cellar
met az ; and " Dispasou (l), "Prin-
cipal" ~, " Bassoon (3), "Boudon'
~, "Octave C~ouplar."
FIRE ALARN.-An alarm Of fire was
sounded in Virginia city last night,
about half-past uiue o'clock. The alarm
proceeded from q small stable in the rear
of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Express Office,
and, as near as We could ascertain, was
caused by q lamp, which had been care
lessly left. falling over Oh some bales OF
hay, which blazed up right lively for u
few minutes. The fire was extiuguished
by Charley Scholl, the g%unsmith. 1t so
happened that the Chief and his Assist
ant were both in the Opera House Me-
lodeon when the alarm was given. II
was n bad place for q fire TO start and
very fortunate it was that no great
Roadway was gained by the flames.
KEyrucK MISE.-For some time pas,
the machinery at the Kentuck has been
50 much out Of repair that it is scarcely
safe to lower and raise the men into and
out Of the mine. As 500 rs the Vel
low Jacket starts up the Kentuck will
shut down her hosting works and
work through the Yellow Jacket shaft
The old reels of the Kentuck will give
place to new ones, made on the same
pattern as the new e Of the Yellow
Jacket.
"SLIPprRY GuLcR. old Hill is very
lively, aud Virginia owes much of her
present prosperity to the town in the
culch, whose mines are richer and meu
more energetic than in any place in this
State Virginia Trespass.
CRGsUs.-on Saturday evening, the
stockholders of the Cresus Silver Min
ing Company will hold u meeting at the
office of G. E. DeLoug, in Virginia city
All persons interested are desired to be
present.
IScoRREcr.-The report that a mar
broke a blood vessel and died, at the
"Bow Windows" in Virginia city, night
before last, was incorrect. No man
died or broke u blood vessel there. No,
much.
