Non. BLOOD l-AxorHrn vIerIx.-

BY q q named Rick Moriarty, At II
saloon on B street, Virginia, near Mag
ara Hall. The men, together with
others, were in the saloon. O'roole
was consid srsbly intoxicated, while
Moriarty was sober. From some slight
cause they got into n dispute resulting
in hard words, whereupou Moriarty
drew q Ex.shooter and would have Tired
at O'Tosle had he not been prevented
by the bystauders. He was Immediate
ly put out through a side door, but
shortly afterwards came round in front
of the saloon, on the sidewalk, and
watching his opportunity, he deliber-
ately fred through an Imprinted light
Of glass in the front door, hitting
UToole, who had just staggered unsus-
pectiugly forward from the end Of the
counter and stood with his side to the
door, not ten feet distant. The fatal
bullet entered his left side through
the upper pari Of the hip and passed
through his intestines, lodging in his
right hip. The assassin must have
stood very neal the door, rs the powder
marks from his pistol are visible on the
sash, the upper part Of the door being
Of glass, painted after the usual style,
with the exception Of the single light Of
which We speak. Before officers could
be got after him, Moriarty had walked
of up street and made good his escape.
O'Toole was taken first to the ehgiEe
house Of Virginia No. l, but was shortly
afterwards removed TO the Globe Hotel,
South G street, where he boarded.
He seemed fully conscious Of his con-
ditiou, and although he was reported
dead several times yesterday, he WAS
still alive At 10 A. ". to-day. Doctors
Green and McMeans, his physicians,
however, express no belief that he can
possibly recover; and, from the SWELL
ing of his abdomen, the chances were
that be would die before tomorrow
morning. Meanwhile Moriarty is still
at large. He is spoken Of rs rather a
bad man to deal with when in a mo-
ment Of passion. o'Toole is a young
man Of about IS years, and u quiet
working miner, who happened to be up
to Virginia at u dance that evening.
A PREsRyrArIoX.-Harry Mighels,
Esq, our new and jolly State Printer,
and sprightly editor Of the Carson Ap-
peal, came up to Gold Hill last Satur-
day afternoon, and brought along with
him our old friend Billy Parkinson, the
State Controller. They cam up to
spend Sunday on the Comstoek, and to
20 to church. While up here brother
Mighels was presented with a handsome
testimonial by some OF his friends-it
is needless to say what 1t was-out II
was a testimonial, or an index OF the
rarmM OF feeling entertained for him
in Slippery Gulch. The affair was got
ten up on the "spur Of the moment
and took place at the Bank Exchange,
with Mart. Reese as one OF The wit
nesses. The presentation speech was
made by Mr.. Chloride, and, as might
have been expected, vas deeply solemn
and pathetic-such a speech, indeed, as
Chloride alone a make. Brother Mi
ghels was deeply affected at the " unex-
pectsd event." aud shed copious tears
while delivering himself. It was not
such n speech as ColfaI could make
nor could Colfax make sueh a speech AS
brother Nighels made. In fact, 1t is
impossible for uI to do justice to the &C.
casion-except in the winding-up OF the
afair--which was not intended for
the public eye. "Ail's well that ends
WE'LL"
OK rHl SrRHrr.-William Hunter,
whose right arm was so badly injured
some months ago by a fall in the lower
Savage dump, left the Hospital st. Vim
cent dc Paul, Virginia, a week ago, n
his numerous friends will be gratihed TO
know that he is able to walk the streets
once more. The broken and diseased
elbow Joint was removed and the arm
saved by DR.. Hitler, after one Of the
blue mass and morphine HorntoNn doc
tors had given il up rs q bad job, and
Was going to cut it of. Hunter
move his wrist, fingers and thumb a
little now, and eventually will find that
much abused arm quite useful. At all
events, he can now have his own choice
rs to whether he will ever have 1t cut
off or not, which is something OF a
privilege.
Pur on YoUR FLASSELs.-Some people
have m idea that ~iisunels should not be
worn until old winter wraps US in his
lev embrace. This iden is OF great
value to medical practitioners, but not
to the people who practice II. u
time to don thick clothing is when the
weather is changing, not after 1T mas
changed. Get out your wooden under
gear at once, and thus save n doctors
bill. Baum { Brother, Gold Hill, and
Banner Brothers, in Virginia City, OPP
posite the Enterprise building, have q
good lot of wholesome flannels, such as
you want-and they sell very cheap.
The Nrw Town SEwER.-Excarsting
for the new town sewer, TO run the en-
tire length of Main street, from the
Union scales up, was commenced last
SATURDAY., and is actively usder pro-
p.ess. This sewer will be constructed
substantially Of plank, and wide n
deep enough to carry all the winter
floods which hare heretofore been
allowed periodically to devastate, gully
out and render. our principal street im-
passable.
Observation-Disclosures, who was
so fearfully stabbed in the side on the
evening OF election day, at u saloon on
the Divide, has got along excellsntly
under the care of Drs. Green and NC
Means, and is now able to walk about Il
little with the help Of II cane. Btilen-
ger certainly received a pretty close
call.
LATIN PApERs.-Fred Boegle, of the
Virginia Postofhee News Depot, has just
received the latest Eastern pictorisls,
magazines, song books, beautiful pic
lures, hooks on health, hygienic cook
stoves, baks-pans, and ice-cream freez.
ers, etc. Boegle does u big business
and carries the NEWS in Virginis City.
A TrHBLs.-About . p. ~. yesterday
a female WAS passing out Of Ham Lights
stable, C street, Virginia, on horseback
