House last evening. Mr.. Booth is an
easy, fluent and pleasing speaker,
especially endowed with the happy fac
ulty Of attracting, entertaining and
holding au audience rs long as he is
speaking. He drew a strongly contrast
i've parallel between the action Of the
Republican and Democratic parties
during the late war of the rebellion,
and in like manner reflected severely

sitions of the present Presidential can

The GREAT EARrMouAXE NEws-THE
Shock PLAINLY FELT THIS l OF THE
SlERRA.-The reception Of the terrible
and exciting news Of the great Cali
fornia earthquake this morning, created
general CONSERVATION at Virginia and
Gold Hill, and the widest, most exag-
gera,ed and contradictory reports
spread like wildfre in all directions.
The telegraph offices were crowded with
individuals eager to hear the latest in
telliyence from the scenes of the earth
quake, where so many had relatives,
friends and property. The shock was
plainly felt by many at Virginia, and
was also noticed at Gold Hill. A gen.
tleman from Carson informs US that the
shock was generally felt at that place,
il shaking the windows and doors, and
making crockery, ETC., rattle in the
c~upboards.
JUVENILE AMALGAM THrEvEs.-Police-
man Best, Of lower Gold Hill, informs
us that within the last day or W he
has detected several small boys who,
watching their opportunity, have been
nippiug amalgam about the Rhode
Island and Sunderland mills. They got
il in some of the outside spout apPara-
tus, in very small quantities, but one
boy had collected i've or six dollars
worth. These little rogues evidently
knew they were doing wrong, yet, OF
course, did not know the enormity Of
the o~ffense. 1t is rather Of II bad way
Of schooling boys so young, and if their
parents do not look after them II little
better, they may have occasion to grieve
over their becoming State Prison con-
victs when they shall have arrived at
mature age.
GoBBLED AT AsT.-Chicken thieves
and other petty stealers may run for II
long time without detection and arrest,
but the police get track Of them sooner
or later. Bob Lowery was up before
the Virginia City Recorder this morning.
He has made his appearance before that
high police judicial functionary several
times since he returned from his spring
chicken raid among the farms OF the
Trackee. The Judge begins to know
him like a book, and although he has
let him off gently heretofore, he will
put Bob directly somewhere he can
always keep an eye on him.
HELD TO BArL.-George Swearenger,
aiia, /" Black George" yesterday after
noon had an examination before Judge
Addison, Of Virginia, for the killing of
John +. Ahern, about one week 90.
He was held to bail in the sun of 81 900,
VIM. Leet and Chas. Van Gorder beeom-
ing his bondsmen.
