danger than formerly, and consequently
on the lookout, ready TO rush out in case
Of my alarm. Last Saturday, for in,
stance, a back currcnt Of air drove q
small quantity OF gaseous smoke or Va
por through from the Kentuck into the
Yellow Jacket, creating considerable
Consideration amoug the miners for u
short time until it subsidized. About 10
o'clock Sunday forenoon, however, the
most powerful scare occurred. The air
at the S00.foot level, where the princi-
pal work is doing, is very hot, and, in
order TO couuteract the effects OF the
foul gas occasionally experienced, the
men have bottles of ammonia, or harris
horn, to tax, q reviving sniff at whea
they choose. One Of them, feeling -
little dizzy, picked up his bottle of
hartshorn, which had become consider.
ably heated, and gave it n shake, pre-
parstory to removing the stopper, when
it suddenly burst, sending forth such II
strong volume Of pungcnt odor that it
knocked him down. A companion near
by, seeing him fall, thought OF the fatal
gas at once, and Immediately rushed
past him, like n race.horSe, for the shaft,
but had not run more than half II dozen
yards, when he hit his head against u
low cap timber with such force thPt it
knocked him down nlso. The alarm
became general aud a great rush was
made for the shaft, and, ~ means Of
the cages, to the surface. Fresh hnnds
went down to the rescue, and the two
supposed victims were found alive aud
kicking, and fully able to tell their own
story.
ESSRGErIc AND EFFICIENT. Chief
Dovney of Virginia, together with the
we'll o~rsapizcd and effective police
force under him, are apparently just
what that city has stood in need OF for
some time. Evil doors have to stand on
their good behavior or be summary
arrested, and no arrest, are made with
IL good aud sufficient cause. Even
the city ordinance against fast driving
or riding is enforced, US Sheriff Gum
miugs can testify. Dogs without tags
have to go to the pound, which con
tains at present some % Of these I'M
fortunates. Loose hogs, too, have been
arrestsd-eyen that old SOW ut the south
end of the city so troublesome to Alder
man F~erguson-but the proprietors have
always come TO the rescue. Goats are
the worst 10 arrest or manage they
are smart, and know II policeman by the
cut of his jib. They won't be coaSed
or drove to the pound, aud DOwney will
have TO start in lassOing the predatory
r~ascals. He desires us to inform all
persons in the habit of throwing old
paper and general rubbish in the street,
that If detected doing it hereafter, they
will be summarily arrested aud INSIDE to
pay n fine. Boys also, or anybody else,
rolling or throwing iron hoops into the
streets for people or animals 10 hurt
their shins or get tripped up with, will
be arrested. Downey means BUSH
ness. Since coming into Office he has
fixed up the streets in pretty good order,
and If the Board of Aldermen would let
him have n horse and cart for four or
FIVE days he would clear the streets OF
all the loose stones everywhere.
PlpER's OPERA Toodles,'
"The Live Indian" and "a Loan ola
Lover were the three amusing at
fractions given at the Opera House last
evening. Owens personated Tood!es in
q somewhat different, and in many re-
spects improved style from any we have
--.-n Tta a. 7 ftsn adam l..
n new piece to our theater goers, and
was received with much applause. It's
repletc with droll scenes and quecrly
contriyed incidents, quite novel and
fresh. Owens sustained the principal
character in his usual and very accepta-
BILE style. Harry Hawks Peter Spyke,
in the Loan of n Lover was very
good. He is one Of the most versatile
actors we ever saw. Louise Arnot made
n very pretty aud acceptable Gertrude
acceptable to any ono, VIC should say
Cain, Gregory and Miss Maggie Dayicy
also succeeded well in all their persona
tons, rs also did Walton, especially as
Delve, in the last piece. Ovens takes
his grand benefit tonight, and arloTiou'
bill is offered for the occasion. Giv-him
a crowded house. No extra charge for
reserved seats.
The GRAND BENEFIT To.XIGur.-
Recollect everybody in Gold Hill and
Virginia tha, the grand benefit to Lib
er,y Engine Company No. /, Of Gold
Hill, takes place this evening at the
Champion Circus which performs at
Fort Homestead for that purpose. An
extra good entertainment is 10 be gwen,
but aside from this attraction, the BENG
fit is given not only in compliment TO
the company, which is composed OF the
best fremen in the State, active and
efficient whenever and wherever duty
calls, but 10 render them well deserved
assistance in building - new ball. NO
business man, saloon keeper or proper
ty holder in Gold Hill should fail TO
take ut least one ticket, for they know
not how soon they may stand in need OF
the assistance Of the very tremen whom
they now assist. Our friends in Nr.
ginia are also cordially invited to con-
tribute literally to this benefit, by
attending the circus this evening.
Coon LIVERY FIRM In our adyCrtts-
ing columns to-day see what Sp"uIding
l. Gearhart have to say. y short IN
ago they bought out a. s oiin's well
known livery stable on B street, Viz
ginia, near Taylor street, and now do
the leading livery business in the city.
John Spaulding, so long connected with
the staging business as road agent on
the Bonner Lake route, and william
Gearheart, &" curly Bill,') the famous
driver on that same route. are TOO wen
known TO the general public to require
any comment on our part. Suffice 1t TO
saw that both are gentlemen OF est"o'
Iished integrity, and ability IN thels
line, and will transact " general iiNesy
stable business satisfactorily to all VINO
favor them with patronage. Bngg'es'
