been badly taken IN anu ""AN ava
h,s had his unsuspecting innocence
,omrcred with, and his blind confidence
betroved by q naughty man named Les.
R,sciburn, Ever since his barn at Red
Maintain was burnt, some two or three
years ago, George has affiliated with
and been an active member Of Washoe
Engine Co. No. 4, at Virginia. Iester-
day, George was on hand at the election
for Engineers of the Fire Department,
and would have elected HanbrldSe Tor
Chief if his vote could have done 1t I'M
less prevented by outside Influences.
Those influences" were ut work,
however. IL would seem. Sherman, one
Of Kerrin's friends, offered George htteen
dollars for his vote, but he wah'ee
more. Blackburn was near oy-acci-
d~entally. Of c~ourse-aud giving our
George q sly nudge, showed nun y
Twenty" and a "tcn y OF what looked
TO his t~rustful gaze good gold money,
telling him i, should be his II he would
vote for Wilcox. George fell q prey to
the specious tcmpter. He closed his eyes
IN the GOOD .shftecn' and went after the
=. shice thirty" He took the Wilcox
vote from Blackburn, and just as it went
into the ballot box the two "shysiers
we're slipped into his hand. Their light
weight caused George to inspect them
closer, and he found he was badly
usoldi" instead of bought. He turned
to Blackburn and wanted good money
in place of it, but no, Les was nnwiii-
ing to go him even two bits Dexter,
now that he had voted, lest ne
should 60 and spend it ioolishly.
George sees the point. He will proht
by the lesson aud become a wiser aud
better man hereafter. We have no
sympathy with him. 4 man who would
sell his vote deserves to be /" sold in
return. He was served just right. The
Joke was q rich one, and splendidly
playcd. The best of il was that he
plaved it on himself. He will be very
liable hereafter to believe in the well
known old saying of "Ah that glitters
is not gold"
BENEFIT OF Mss SUE RoBINsoN.-The
popular, talented and versatile young
actress, Miss Sue Robinson, will be the
pleased recipient of q rousing benefit
tonight. There are but very few eligible
seats in the house that are not already
taken, and we look to see u perfect Jam
of an audience. The play for the oc-
casion will be the great sensational n
beautiful drama entitled the "Corsican
Brothers." in which Sue Robinson will
persouate Fabien and Louis Del Franchi,
The twin brothers. She will be ably
supported by the entire strength OF the
dramatic troupe of the Opera House,
and il being I" ladies' night we sha
look TO see n well and handsomely
filled dress circle. As an accomplished
actress and estimable lady, Miss Robin
son is highly appreciated by a very
large circle Of her fellow citizens OF the
Silver State, and fully deserves the ac-
ceptable benefit she will receive this
evening.
"THE BEAUTIFUL Sow."-Poets have
sang Of the /" beautiful snow" Print
ers have printed the " beautiful snow"
People have read Of the beautiful
snow" whirling, curling, eddyinS,
twirling, from the heavens above to
earth below, like little white goose
feathers filling the air, covering the
earth with a mantle fair, of great eX-
tent and purity rare. This is all very
pretty for a poet that sings, down IN
Sonoma, or cen at Mud Springs, but 1t
sounds too much like u platitude for
this high old sage-brush latitude, where
the Washoe Zephyr in his wild wrath
whirls it in fury OF all in its pathf
fiercely, madly-to the poor, Oh! how
sadly. We've seen enough Of this beau
tiful snow, and we're perfectly longing
to see it go vanishing, melting, running
off TO the valleys and rivers below.
AWAY down the gulch let it muddy
flow, we're disguised with all such
beautiful snow"
CoxNuSrcArIoS Ger OFT.-0wing to
the heavy snow slides on the railroad
the cars cannot get through 10 cisco,
therefore Billy Hale, Wells, Fargo h
Co.'S stage agent at Virginia, informs
US that the California stages will arrive
to-day bringing only the mail and ex-
press mattcr-no passengers. The cars
cannot get within eight miles Of Cisco,
and will not be able to get through TO
that point under four or five days, yet,
even should the present storm cease.
The agent of Woodruff 4 Ennor's fast
freight line received q telegram from
Cisco ut 8 o'clock this morning, stating
that the snow was ten feet deep there,
and still showing furiously. Between
there and Sacramento the wires are
down, also on the Placerville route,
therefore we are shut of from further
California news at present.
PIpERs' OPERA HoUsE.-There was
an unusually merry audience at the
q Opera House last night. The election
being over, large numbers Of he fire
boys were present, and lager selling
we'll, things became pretty lively. One
of the lower stage boxes or its contents
got 90 full, that one gay fireman con-
trived to become split out upon the
stage. Harry Spriggs who is an adept
at the business promptly dragged oil the
body uuinjured, amid the most euthusi-
astic applause, and the play went on.
Otherwise than this little incident and a
general spirit of hilarity, everything
passed of very happily. Tonight is
asladies night" and Sue Robinson's
grand benefit. Everybody should go.
