TuE SMALLPOX At VIRGINlA.-Thc
only Ease Of this terrible disease which
has occurred at Virginia, was that of Mr..
King, n colored man, who died day be-
fore yesterday. He had many visitors,
however, while he was sick, and some
Of them may yet become victims OF the
disease. Prompt measures should be
taken in the matter, by the city author
tiles, to destroy all possible traces Of
the disease. 1t has broken out in San
Francisco with greater mnlignity than
ever, and is on the increase. We don't
want any more Of it over in this section
than we can we'll avoid, aud by proper
and timely precautions we may escape
it altogether.

showed US this morning an assay just
made Of ore from nm old abandoned
claim in Silver Star District, not over
three miles east Of Gold Hill, which in
Dictated a yield Of over 500 per ton. lie
says the ledge is nearly six feet wide,
and contains q large proportion Of as
good ore as that which he got assnycd.
II is silver ore with but little gold, and
q shaft sunk to the depth of about thirty
feet shows q continuous ledge Of the
article. He proposes having u few tons
OF it tried by mill process, and he GER
tainly has our best wishes for his sue
cess in making it paying institution.
Outside paying mines are what are
wanted.
Or FOR tue RAcEs.-Numcrous indi.
viduals, sportively inclined, left Virginia
and Gold Hill for the races of the Hir-
ginia Jockey Club, which commence to-
day at the race course four miles north
ward Of Virginia, in Long Valley, to
continue until Saturday evening. \
ine band Of music went ont on one
coach, to lend their harmony TO the fes-
~tivities of the occasion.
Woop AND TIMBER SrpPLy.-The Yell
low Jacket Company have graded n
large yard on the north side of ST.
Johns Church, between their old and
new works, and therein are accumula-
ting q goodly supply OF wood and timber
for winter consumption. They do not
mean to get caught out IA far rs those
requisites are concerned this winter.
STREET IMPRovEMESr.-WaSte rock
from TIE Kentuck mine deposited at the
lower end Of Main street is putting that
t%horoughfare in excellent condition for
the coming winter. Crown Point street,
which has been blocked up by the
Yellow Jacket dump, has again been
cleared out and rendered in good pass
able condition.
Cooler WzArHEE.-The weather has
decidedly changed OF late, and linen
coats and iced punches are not quite so
much in demand rs they were II short

colds in the head are getting fashion
able.
PIurS vAcclNArroS.-The Indians
about Virginia, in view of the small
pox having made its appearance ut that
place, a their own desire ARE being
vaccinated. They are apparently aware
of its efficacy and come IN freely for
that purpose.
RxrunSEp.-Judge Bob Lowery, Re-
of Virginia, has returned from
the Truckee with his health very much
recuperaied. All the old buns and d..
DIS had better walk straight now, for
the Judge is on his judicial muscle once
more.

between some Chinatown Virginians
night before last, in which one Celestial
got severely cut with a knife, and a pis-
tol shot or so was fred without effect.
