OF them, o circular piece OF thick
cuticle some FIVE or six inches in dame
ter, with the hair appendage, was that
Of "He-har-doo-tah,' the Indian muir
derer who escaped from Fort Churchill
some two years since, was recaptured,
and confined in the Esmeralda county
Jail at Aurora, from whence he escaped,
with a companion. Since then he has
been at large for over a year and a half,
and was only captured on the 18th OF
last December, by II detachment Of Com
pany NJ, Eighth United States Cavalry,
who found and killed Hce-har-doo-tah,
with two of his brothers who were with
him. Tho other scalp was that of one
Of the brothers, named "War-kaya-
kapi," or "Eagle Eye" and is only a
couple of inches square-mcrely a
"scalp lock-" his head being nearly de-
stroyed by a charge o buck-shet in kill
ing him, besides which be had ten
Spencer rife balls shot into his body
before he concluded to die. 1t is not
uncommon for our soldiers in Indian
fighting to help themselves 10 an occa-
sional scalp after the style OF the red
devils themselves, although such n pro-
ceeding is not officially countenanced.
CUTTING AFFRAY.-A couple Of work
hands-a Portuguese and Il German
employed ut Jones' lailk ranch, Ameri-
can Flat, some two miles from Gold
Hill, about 6 o'clock last evening in-
dulged in a rough and tumble fight, in
the barn Of the establishuent-they
having been on quarrelling terms for
some weeks past-and shortly afterward
renewed their fuss near the dwelling
house, the result Of which was that the
Portuguese suddenly drew n knife and
stabbed the German in the abdomen.
He was soou afterward arrested by the
Constable Of that precinct, and taken
to the county Jail at Virginia. DR.. Hall,
Of this town, being sent for, repaired
thither at once and attended upon the
wounded man. From the Doctors de-
scription, the patient received q trans
verse wound in the abdomen on the
right side, one inch and II hall from the
medium line, and midway between the
pelyis and navel. The wound was one
inch and a quarter in length, penetrate
ing the cavity Of the abdomen, from
which protruded about ten inches OF
the small intestine. The patient is
comfortable, and the result Of the case
depends upon the amount of inflammation
which NAV ensue. There is some hem
orrhage, but the intestines not being
cut, the chances are in favor Of his
speedy recovery.
PrpERs' OPERA HousE.-Owing to the
very full audience of the previous even
ing, a. the benefit Of the "Hooks,"
there was not quite the usual good
attendance at the Opera House last
evening. A most excellent entertain
ment, however, was given, which was
highly appreciated and appiauded
throughout. The afterpiece was the
musical burlctta of "John Bull in
France" The attractions at this eS-
tremely popular theatrical institution
are very great, q fact well attested to
by A large class of our theater-going
citizens, and we are we'll pleased to note
the excellent success Of the Pipers'. All
who 60 the Opera House are sure to get
their moneys worth.
A LIVE CoLE.-Ous friend Cole, the
well-knowu milk man, was reported
in Virginia this morning to have been
waylaid by foot-pads, on the American
Flat grade, last evening, and touily
murdered, besides being robbed OF an
immense sum Of money. Cole person.
ally states that sach is positively n
the case. He has rot been dead ut all,
neither does he want to be, just yet.
He considers that about the money rs
the most ridiculous part OF the story

Austin, Belmont, and other points there

We bespeak for this talented lady n
kindly welcome wherever she goes.
SALuBRlous.-To.day is sunshine and
pleasant, and gushing musical rills OF
dirty snow juice are running down the
wagon ru,s along Main street. We al
most imagine We scent the spring AIR
from afar. The last two or three days
have been quite a change from the con-
s,autly stormy weather of the previous
six or eight weeks. Snow has not fallen
for about forty-eight hours, and we are
beginning to have hopes Of more..genial
weather.
BouRBoy.-A very excellent article Of
Old Bourbon can be obtained at Perry
& Twins Saloon, opposite the Virginia
CITY Post Office. A bottle Of it, as a

Yesterday, which is certainly equal to
anything in the Bourbon line we ever
tasted.
