partaken of by the company aud their
invited guests, and for two hours 1t was
the j~ollisst little party we have had tho
pleasure Of attending in Gold Hill. In
fact, wit, sentiment, and song prevailed
TO such an extent that the company APP
penred 10th to part. One old fellow
With q white beaver hat on, who had
lust come in from White Pine, remarked
that there was more fun and songs IN
that crowd than he had seen or heard
all winter.
CHARLES j. WATSON and another man
were arrested at Gold Hill on Tuesday
morning last for forgery. Watson had
ONLY been out Of Jail four or Eve days,
where he WAS confined for assault and
battery, and Monday night he and his
COMPANION were cruising about the
saloons and gambling places OF Nir-
ginia, having n pretty good time, and
Watson was noticed 10 be pretty fushin
the way of funds, having evidently made
a raise somehow. 0ficor Enders, OF the
regular police, being informed OF the
circumstance, cot on his track and
soon found where he had raised 500
at Sissa's faro bank on 4 draft Tor
$3.50. purporting to be drawn by u.
Buell. on Il. II. Flagg of Gold HILL
Knowing this check must be II forgery,
Euders Mt once took possession OF u
and got after Watson. He and ms
compnnion had left, but were too jolly
drunk to get farther than Gold Hiii.
Watson still had $50 Of tho money with
him. Enders lodged them both in
i,il. and the next day on examination
before Justice Ellis of Ylrginis, on the
charges of forgery aud obtaining money
under false preteuses, Watson was held
70 bail in the sum of 81 ,000-S5OO IN
each case-in default of which amount,
he was committed to Jail tor safe keep
ing. His companion was discharged.

not seem quite so good-looking as he did

between here and Virginia. His face Is
worse sp,ckled than n huckleberry pud-
ding or q Lake Bigler trout, and thicEly
pit,ed, "a though he had been shot iuii

qualification this morning that Street
