RELIelous TRAVELLING Tnours.-Quite

q little sensation in the religious street
preaching line was created on G street,
Virginia, Sunday afternoon. A short
stub of a wandering preacher, with a
couple Of women, who had arrived that
morning from the East, started in sing
ing in front Of the International, after
the style Of a b~and-wagon going about
attracting customers to q circus, and
directly quite o crowd collected, and the
little preacher talked to them for the
good of their souls. When he got
through he and the women went about
treating the crowd to little religious
tracts, free of charge. No collection
was taken up, therefore it is difficult to
see where tho margin for profits Is.
About the time all this was going on,
things were n little worse mixed than
we ever saw them in that line. In the
back part of a saloon close by, as soon
as the singing commenced, all the gam
blers left the faro table and rushed out,
thinking, probably, that it was a FIRE or
q first-class dog-fght. The dealer, how
over, directly psrceiving what it was,
remarked, "Damn that Teller, he's just
a cross.capping my game" Still nearer
to the preacher whisky was being dealt
out in all sorts Of punch and cocktail
shapes, and passing through the crowd
was the funeral Of q deceased prostitute
going to her grave. That little stub Of
a preacher never in his life struck n
better field than Virginia for his mis-
sionary labors. He had better stay
there a while.
WAsHox FRurr.- Uncle Treadway,
who has a fine ranch near Carson City,
this morning sent to General Winters,
Of Gold Hill, o lot of most splendid,
large, golden pippin apples, and some
Sicklcs' pears, which he raised on his
farm. Also, a seductive kind Of apple,
which he calls q "Maiden-maiden-
blush," q real beauty, such rs old Adam
is supposed to have received from Eve.
They are the finest apples and pears we
have yet seen raised in this State, and
will encourage farmers in the fruit rails
ing business.
REruRNED.-T. ]. Welton, the we'll
known matchmaker in Flagg's Bank,
Main street, Gold Hill, returned from
his visit East this morning. He seems
to think his little establishment has
been pretty well gone through with
during his absence. II will BIO recol-
lected that the fellow he left in charge,
gobbled all the watches and everything
else of much value, two or three weeks
ago, and skedaddled for parts unknown.
One of Mr.. Welton's many friends re-
marked to him this morning that he
looked better and had grown some
larger during bis absence. Larger! ~
says welton, "1 should say not l
never felt smaller in my life than when
I looked into my show case this morn
ing" II anybody has any repairing or
purchasing t do in Welton's line, now
is the time 10 patronizc him and help
him to make up for his losses.

adams of Virginia left on a trip to Cali
fornia las, evening. Alderman Charley
Legato informs US that His Honor, May

Francisco, and giving him q few points

festive city. Alderman Legate thinks
some of inviting the newly elected
Board of Aldermen to pay q visit to Vir-
giuia and learn a few things relative to
