FIGnTs IN BRIEF.-Two Spanish pack
ers, recently arrived, had drunken row near
Dr. Truesdales, in the vicinity of West Main
street, at abaut y o'clock last night. One
man had his throat cut, and the face of his
opponent was similarly scratched. The latter
was lodged in Jail. We presume the injuries
of the first mentioned are not fatal. A mi
ner Of Last Chance pulled pistol and had n
little dlmculty IN tue Occidental at about
o'clock last evening. Neil HoWie took away
his pistol and the police dragged the peace
breaker 70 jail. On his way thither he "bucked"
energetlcally, Upsettlng the officers In the
mud and houndering In the same element
himself. He arrived at the Justices office
with the upper portion of his body innocent
of clothing. Both of these cases will be
disposed Of to-day.
RIVALRY AND A Row.-A very act
i've French war was carried on in the vicinity
Of West Main street on Saturday night, the
scene of the campaign being the residence of
a female representative, at once of the beau
tilul country over the water.and low state
Of morals in the mountains. The combat
tants were rival contestants for such favors as
she had to bestOw, one of whom had been dis
carded and the other put in his place. Both
of these victims of jealousy were brought
before the j. P.'s yesterday on the charge of
disturbing the peace and were forced to dis
gorge TO the tune of about fifty dollars each.
GAME.-It Is commencing to arrive in con-
sidemble quantities in the shape of antelope,
deer, mountain sheep and defunct bruins.

grand complimentary benefit has been tend
cred TO Madame ScheIler by our citizens, and
she hns named to-nigh he as tn eoccasion, and
Dion Boucicault's great drama entitled ''The
Life of Actress as the play. This drama |

and prolific writer ever wrote, and is not only |
endowed with the most beautiful language, /
but was written Tor the express purpose of
delineating the most exquisite and subtle feel /
ings, the eccenuicities of heart emotions,
aud those phases of human life which form
the ideal of an oriental tale. It abounds in /
the most touching passages, as we'll the |
most thrilling 'denouements.' Sentiment and
pathos go hand IN hand, until the happy |
finale and the music of sweet melody flows |
through it like the enchantment of a tender |
love vibrating through a romantic existence. |
In this most excellent play the following has /
been made the cast Madame Scheller takes |

tire season in New York, and created an i'm |
