SHOOTING FOR FUN-JuRnna Ferraro,
while in an Intoxicated condition, we will
charitably suppose, commenced firing her re-
volver on Wood street, just for the fun of the
thing, night before last, and came very near
hitting Judge Duke, who was standing In the
door of his Office. She was arrested, and
brought before the one whom her bullets had
narrowly escaped, and fined fifty dollars and
costs. We hope the Justices will "plle on
the agony" in all these cases where firearms
are used recklessly, for instances OF the
kind referred to are becoming altogether too
common
VIRGINIA ITENs.-From the Democrat:
Mr.. E. C. Davis, who has been suffering from
an attack of pneumonia for some time past,
has been placed in the county hospital by
his friends The Stephens mill is in full
operation crushing ore from the Iron hod az
Silver Star. Mr.. j. I. Connor has received
the machinery for first class mill to be
erected in Browns Gulch. Judge Warren
has decided that note after Judgment draws
but legal interest .. Deriar Co., who have
erected a smelling furnace about mile above
Bannack, are about TO commence operations
Mining at Horse Prairie has been discontin-
ued for the season. The st. Joseph Min
ing Company have completed their furnace
at Argenta.
VIRGISIASs on A STAMPEDE.-Miners have
been working in Ram's-horn gulch, which is
about seventeen miles from Virginia City,
from the day on which Alder was discovered
in 1868. Hitherto their efforts have been un
successful. Last year, fair prospects were
found near the w-mill of Hotter Bros. Dur |
ing the past season, several parties have been /
laboring on fumes. Mr.. Tiernan has finally /
struck fine bed of gravel several feet below |
what has generally been called the bedrock. 4
He has shown that there is new source of
wealth for our neighbors. The gulch is nine
miles in length, and heads in the same range /
of mountains with Biven's, which has already ]
yielded its millions. For the last two days
there has been a stampede from the capital,
and horse flesh has been in good demand.
The gulch is we'll watered and tImbered, and
must be a good thing.
PERsoNAL.-We were pleased yesterday to
receive a call from Mr.. Charles Besserer, our
Boulder Valley correspondent, with his esti-
mable and accomplished lady. Mrs. Besserer
is one of the ladies proposing to contend in
the eques trian contest at the Fair to-day, and
from her well remembered skill and daring
as an equestrienne, we entertain little doubt
bat that she will distance all her competitors
for the prize Col. A. j. Vaughn, the gen
tleman whose goodly proportions are only
sclipsed by his volubility and surprising COM
nand of language, announces his departure
Tor the States to-day. Sorry TO hear it, Colo
lel. bus. glad to learn that you are coming
back %. Mr.. A, MeInshenk, one of our en-
ergetic business men, left for the States by {

ng mammoth stock of dry goods.

THE SroRM.-The storm which has covered
ar hills with snow is quite extensive. East
{ Salt Lake a furious "spell of weather. has
the weather and is upsetting things
enerally. At Virginia it is very raw and
old, but the snow is frozen up in the clouds
nd cannot make a landing on the earth jnst
present, on account of the severity of the
leather. At White Tail the same state of C
FAIRS exists. At the heads of the gulches in r
ais vicinity the snow is six inches deep. We 4
hall yet expect a month or two of pleasant :
Gather.

lst French gentleman named Philip a
e Rouehe, beat and assaulted his wife, be- n
luse, as he stated, she staid at. her mothers n
lree or four hours when he told her she could

* the fact that Philip had no affection for ). ).
Is mother-in-law, considered sufficient
lducement to the assault referred to, and the

hilip was tried yesterday before Justice O

eek or two Judge. .
