STREET CoLLISIoN.-About Z O'CLOCK
last evening, just above the Granite
mill, Gold Hill, the bus from Virginia
and a buggy with W. men in it, pass
ing each other in the dark had n short
but not destructive engagement. Inc
buggy caught against the singletree OF
| the near wheeler-"Jef. Davis" Both
vehicles were at once stopped, and Jef.
did up some of his liyeliest kicking for
a few minutes at the hind wheel OF the
buggy, frightening the men in the buggy
so that they jumped out, and we nndsrs
stand that one of them sprained bis
ankle somewhat. Doug. navigated the

NINE DIsrNFEcrIoS.-0ne day last
week Il case of smallpox was discovered
in Il miner working at the 6O0-foot level
of the Ophir mine. Now it being a well
established fact that the only mechan-
ical connection existing between the
DEPTHS Of a mine aud the surface, we
were well pleased to notice two or three
days ago, that the sagacious Colcord,
Superintendent of the Imperial-Empire
shaft, was taking the wise %preeaution of
| disiutecting the cable by means OF coal
tar, which contains Il large amount OF
carbolic acid. Colcord don't mean to
let the smallpox climb down that shaft
il there is any virtue in the coal tar
prophylactic. Tar has q p~reserrative
effect upon wire cables, and therefore
is generally used for that purpose.
