THE SrAGEs.-The outgoing stages
for California by the Bonner Lake route,
which left Virginia city last Tuesday
morning, returned Wednesday evening,
unable to proceed. on account OF the
state Of the road and the washing away
of the bridge over Steamboat Greek.
They started out again yesterday morn
ing, but with what success we have NOT
vet learned, We can, however, safely
set il down that passengers over the
mountains just at present will be iiaolc
to detention, and at the best will have
rather a rough time of it.

work in one Of the lower drifts in the
Yellow Jacket mine, putting up n set OF
timbers. he accidentally fell from the
top, and as he reached the toor, ana
before he could get out Of the way a
very sharp hand-ax fell also fell down,
the BLADE of which struck him on the
knee, cutting deep under the knee-cap.
L. is q very painful wound, aud may
cause him q stiff knee joint.
ABuLLY DAY.-This has been q bully
day for those who W debts. The COL
lectors have not been able to get around
with their bills. Bad weather has its
consultations, after all hasn't it, you
res, YOU, who unfortunately may be IN
debt? As VIC go to press, there Is a
good prospect of n second edition OF
such weather tomorrow; n that Will
be another bully day.

of this State, and $500 in cash, between
Tin Orndorff, Of Belmont, and Wallace

ON the Goth inst. Both are considered
very slillful players, and u very inter-
esting game may we'll be expected.
SLEraurxa.--Thc sleighing in Virgin
ia, this morning, we should judge,
might have been excellent, although we
saw no one taking advantage Of it, owing
to the fierco wind, and binding sleet.
The snow was badly drifted, but had it
been evenly distributed it would have
been abouta foot and a half deep. There
is not quite so much in Gold Hill.
MINING AccIpEST.-Josua Wareham,
n workman in tho Chollsr-Potosi mine,
had his head badly cut, and the skull
fractured, a day or two since, by a
MINDLESS crank falling down a shaft upon
him. Tho proper surgical attendance
being called into requisition. he is now
getting along rs we'll as could DO e1-
pected.
LuGuBRIoUs.-" Happy New Year
Yesterday was about on a par with our
Ct Merry Christmas" Nobody looked
particularly jolly. The weather was
horrible, and everybody didn't seem to
enjoy anything particularly, except hot
toddies.
COOP SLEIaHIyG.-By parties just
down from Virginia, as we SO to press,
we learn that the sleis jung up there is
very .ood. There are some few pretty
fair streaks of it in Gold Hill. Numer-
Gus sleighs are out testing the matter.
New YEARS CALLs.-0wing to the
fearful weather of yesterday, the usual
custom Of " calls did not prevail to q
great extent rs is generally the case,
either in Gold Hill or Virginia.
THE SroRx.-All day yesterday and
las; night a furious and heavy snow
storm prevailed. 1t has let up on it
sone to-day, but the weather is "mighty
uusartin'."
