present time, aud it would appear that
costly litigation is very liable to grow
ont Of II. The Board Of County Com
mis,ioners decided a short time since to
run the concern on their W hook,
therefore, they empowered Commits
sioncr Balch to take charge Of it in the
name of the Board DR.. Bronson, how
ever, the present lessee, concluded that
he was the rightful captain Of that ship,
and therefore, assuming to hold under
his contract with the Board, refuses 10
give up possession. At yesterday $
meeting OF the Board; District Attorney
Bishop appeared and stated to the BOARD
that Commissioner Balch had demanueu
of DR.. W. S. Bronson possession Oh 'uo
County Hospital, but that Dr. brouson
refused to yield it. He had theFe,o,o
commenced suit, the papers were duiy
fled. Messrs, Mesick & Seely, attorneys
for DIR. Bronson, had acknowledged ser
vic. and the, case would come up Tor
hearing forthwith. As the Board had
meyer sought any advice or assistance
from him uutil they had got into trouble,
he would suggest that they employ ad-
ditional counsel. On motion, 1t was
resolved that &. c. Whitman, Esq, be
employed on behalfof the Board, to con-
fer with and assist the District Attorney
in the matter Of the suit pending rs to
the Hospital embodiment. The chances
are, that during the next year that old
Hospital will cost the taxpayers OF
Storey county something more than u
thousand dollars n month,

DECEIT AND DEcEPrIoS.-A new in
yention for females is o all the rage.
1t is called q " breaSter," and consists
of an iudia-rubber bosom, which is in
fiated, and heaves to aud fro like II diff
dent maid, rising and swelling rs the
wearer wishes, by pressing u screw
which connects, by means OF n tube,
with the waist. They are worn extern
sively and are for sale, on the sly
by all milliners and the retail stores in
the East. The effect they have upon
the uuinitiated is sometimes Irresistible.
4 gentleman is walking along and meets
a fair dame who is anxious to make an
impression. But alas, he sees that she
is what 8ulwer calls ga tlat-bosomed
spinster." Suddenly she puts her hand
to her waist, lets on the wind, the
ubreastcr " initiates, and he sees before
