riuia city in a fine carryall carriage, he
stopped for y few moments in front of
Milliken ( Co.'S store, south c street,
leaving the horses unfastened to q post,
while he went into the store, they sud-
denly started on a full run up c street
TO the Divide, and no n caring to risk
his life in trying to stop them, they kept
on over the Divide and CANE down Main
street at u terrific rate. When they ar
rived near home the front forc-whecl
broke into pieces, all the spokes leaving
the hub, which rs the horses dashed
over the rough, frozen ground, kept roll
ing that side of the carriage. The hor-
SEES rushed into the stable, dragging the
carriage along. Damage: One wheel
entirely broken, the two hind waeeiS
more or less damaged, the hind spring
entirely broken, swinglc-tree aud neck
woke broken, the top considerably lam
aged and one OF the horses considera-
bly cut and corkedin the hind legs, etc.
The horses seemed terribly frightened,
and il was n great wonder that n or
both were not killed. Horses had al
ways better be tied when people get out
of their vehicles, as it is but a moments
work, and may save u good many dol
lars by exercising the ~precaution.
The ROAD OVER THE SIEHRA.-The
California stages via the Bonner Lake
route arrived at . O'Clock this morning,
bringing express matter, only five pas
senyers and no mails. In conversation
with the passengers, they said they had
TO walk from Emigrant Gap over the
snow to Cisco-uiue miles, by reason OF
the snow-slides covering the railroad
still o~bstructing the passage OF the cars,
which only run TO Emigrant Gap from
Sacramento. The railroad Company
has two or three hundred men busily
ut work clearing of the obstruction;
wherever the snow-plows \ be used,
they arc brought to bear in the matter,
with good effect, but the worst trouble
consists in the sheds covering over the
railroad having been broken in by the
snow-slides, and the timbers being mix
ed in with the snow, prevent the etiec-
tive use Of the snow-plow in such places,
In many places however. this roofing
has kept long stretches OF the road
comparatively free from snow. The
most efforts were being made,
and they were of the opinion thai the
cars might possibly sc, through to Cisco
tomorrow. The road this side OF Cisco
was a little difficult for the sleiShs, ow.
ing to being freshly broken, but would
be excellent in q day ortwo. The MI
fornia mail is expected 20 arrive tonight
or tomorrow morning.

BRorHERs. - Last evening being -" Ia

A most excellent run, and Sue Robinson
in her u~nequalled impersonation OF the
win brothers, Fabian and Louis del
Franchi, wins new laurels each evening.
The particular and peculiar part enacted
by Harry Spriggs and Johnny TusrS IS
very amuSing-all about y hen-and
their o~utlaudish "make-up" does not
their natural beauty of form
and feature in the least. Either one OF
them is u perfect hear.-breHker IN the
way of being handsome. Tic trap and
machinery for producing the wonderful
spectral illusion were contrivcd and eS-
ecuted by p. Rippiugham, who is de-
serving Of great credit for his mechan-
ical skill and ingenuity. Il is said to
work better than anything in that line
heretofore constructed on this coast.
The Corsican Brothers again tonight.
WREcKEp.-After our paper went to
press on Saturday afternoon, things
went wrong with teams and tcamsters
hereabouts. One Of John Rules big
teams, loaded with ore from the kentuck
mine. in passing along the new grade
back of the Yellow Jacket office, was
unset by the settling Of the embank-
ment aud went over the grade. Fortu-
nately neither the driver or any OF the
animals were injured beyond receiving
q few slight bruises and scratches, and
the was not much broken. On
Main street, Just above the Exchange, q
huge ten mule load Of quartz got stalled,
and lost the near hind wheel. Another
g had to be brought alongside and
relieve 1t of its cargo before the wrecked
wagon could be eItricated. Il iur-
Their up the street, u milk wagon was
carelessly driven against a post and lost
n few smokes out OF a hind wheel, and q
clumsy horse, stumbling, deposited his
rider in the miriest spot he could nd.
SAFETY CAGE.-By some mishap, one
of the safety cages at the Imperial and
Empire new hosting works, on Satur'
day, became disadjusted from the cable
hook and fell into the shaft, but the top
Of the cage had just reached \ few In
ches below the top, when the safety
springs struck deep into the timbers on
the sides Of the shaft and stopped It,
So much for this truly valuable inven-
ton. Had the cage not been provided
with this safety apparatus it would have
fallen nine hundred feet and killed sew.
eral persons below.
THE OvERNAS MISE.-An experienced
mining friend of ours took a look
through the Overman mine, this fore
noon, and says 1t looks splendid. There
is q large quantity Of ore in sight, ant
the operations are conducted very sys'
tematically and on the most scientific
system. He speaks very highly Of the
management, and thinks if some OF TIT
foremen in other mines would pay the
Overman a visit, they might learn. a
good lesson in mining.
A TEMPERANCE LxcruRE.-The Rev
A. C. McDougall will deliver a Temper
snce Lecture in the Methodist church,

the reputation of being a most eloquent
orator and highly gifted with " large

boys.
