DEATH on BEp.BUGs.-A few evenings
ago a party Of good companions from
Gold Hill took q ride down to Reno.
How much cronk they imbibsd before
they started, or how much they found
at the wayside houses, our informant,
who was along, does not state, neither
will we make particular mention of he
who dropped out Of the tail of the
wagon and was left a mile behind before
his loss was discovered, or how he was
found at last cruising about in the sage.
brush singing something about the
"Good Ship Zion," but the best joke
was at Reno. Some Of the party sat on
n hotel porch at o late hour Of the
evening, spinning gay yarns, too jolly
to go to bed, while others too jolly to
sit up any longer had sought beds for
the night. By aud by one Of
the latter made his appearance from
somewhere, looking rather serious
about something. In reply to their
anxious inquiries, he sadly remarked,
Oh, well, boys, faint no use tried
hard enough, but the id bed-bugs
was too many for me, and couldn't
sleep. | might have stood the bugs,
but whew We'll, never mind, let's
take something" After the drink, by
unanimous consent, a special committee
was appointed to more particularly in
vestigate that bed-bug matter. They
had no difficulty in distinguishing the
bed he had laid on, for there, in the
middle Of it, the whole outlines OF his
form were marked by q line of blood
and bed.bugs as wide as your hand,
where in his drowsy tortures be had
rolled from side to side upon them.
| They were all dead, with the exception
| Of q dozen or so that.were lying half
stupid, or staggering about in q dying
condition. Every bed.bug which bit
that Gold Hitler was doomed to die ON
the spo, the juice Of his hide was dead
" poison to them. He was the cronky
man who dropped oat Of the tail Of the
wagon on the road down.
SHoEISG FEAr.-At Miss Emma For
~restell, the india-rubber woman's, en-
ter;aiumeu. last Monday evening, at
|Piper's Opera House, that remarkable
female athlete, among other difficult
feats, did one which few among the men
of this section at least, would care to
attempt, even If able to endure it. With
her heels resting on one chair and her
shoulders on another, a common sized
blacksmith's anvil was placed on her
chest, and there she supported 1t
steadily for five or six minutes, while
Hemeuway, the well known blacksmith,
brought in q red-hot horseshoe, which
| he turned after the usual style, with the
assistance of q striker with a sledge,
| finishing il off complete, nail-holes and
| all, lust rs he would in his W shop.
1t was a pretty severe test of her en-
DURANGO, but she stood it manfully. She
| afterward presented the shoe to Haight,
the well known rider Of the Pacific
Union Express pony between Reno aud
Virginia, and it can be seen at the office
of the company, Virginia. Haight is
going to nail that shoe on the foot oil
his bed to keep witches and other OBJ
noxious intruders away.
A QUEER CAsE.-At Virginia, a day
or two since, on the complaint ola citi.
zen, an individual was arrested on the
| charge Of carrying q concealed weapon
against the law, peace and dignity oil
the Commonwealth, etc. A loaded pis-
toll was found upon him by Officer Nc
Cready, who made the arrest, and on
trial Of the ease yesterday, before Judge
Livingston, he acknowledged the Of
fence, and that he was neither traveller
nor policeman, yet for some reason,
which we as well as the public would
like to understand, the jury broughtin a
verdict of'sno.guilty." They must have
some queer jokcrs for jurymen up there.
