tn, E,x,R or y1suNu.-The enter.

day. Aside from his marvellous powers
in l%sgsrdemain, and off-hand diablerie,
and the sweet singing Of Miss Thack-
arab, the great drawing OF gifts with
which the entertainment closes each
evening, is an immense attraction, and
invariably creates great sport. Our
friend, Dan Gloster, the irrspressible in
surance agent, vas the fortunate rect-
pient of that fine sofa lounge, worth
$40, which was the leading present Of
the evening, also q nice balmoral skirt.
The leading present for tonight is a
ins mahogany Handicapped bureau,
with looking glass and all complete.
All descriptions and species Of goods
are included among the presents, each
evening, from costly articles of furni-
ture, and groceries, to livestock, poul-
try, clothing, etc. The only artiels
m~eptionable which we have. not seen
the Fakir give away yet, is a plug hat.
That il, something ho is always liable to
borrow from his audience-sometimes
half a dozen at a time, therefore he
should supply them. Plug hats, by all
means. Even should a young lady win
a plug hat, it would be all right, aud
facilitate marriage, for she would van
n husband to fill it, and some young
gent might marry her just for the sake
Of a plug. A dozen plug hats every
evening hereafter, would be "just the
cheese" and cap the climax Of fun.
Another Jolly entertainmentthis evening.
and u grand presentation soiree for
ladies, children ard families tomorrow
afternoon.
DEER, GAME AND QuAIL.-Mr. Edward
Harris (son of the jolly old Harris"
Assayer), came into Gold Hill this
morning, from Lake Tahoe, BY way Of
Truckes city, the railroad, aud Reno,
bringing with him some Of the game he
has been killing over on the west side
Of Lake Tahoe. He brought along a
fine, large, fat buck, weighing one hun
dred and eighty pounds and a young
fawn, weighing seventy, six pounds.
Both were killed with %shotguns,
charged with English wire-cartridge, the
buck being laid low at q distance OF
35 yards. The buck was shot by Harris
himself, but the doe was killed by Bill
Mckinney, a young hunter, who has a
pleasant little ranch On the west side Of
Tahoe, 10 miles south Of Tahoe City.
Mr.. Harris informs US that the mountains
and valleys for ten miles west Of Lake
Tahoe are full Of gsme-such as wild
pigeons, grouse, quail, doves, deer, and
sometimes a black grizzly. In two days
hunt, a week ago, Harris and Mckinney
killed sixty.eight grouse and lhirty-fve
mountain quail-which cannot but be
acknowledged TO be a good days work
for two young amateur hunters. The
weather about the Lake is cold at night,
but where there is plenty Of fat game
this is NO objection to those fond Of
hunting.

QUEER AcclDSSr.-About 3 o'clock
P. ". yesterday, a man leading a horse
attached to a railroad dump cart, loaded
with drills Of all sizes and lengths, was
passing down Telegraph street from
near the Mount Vernon House, when
inst below vanGorder's stable OF
The longest drills managed to slip over
the front of the cart, and ending over
struck the a a heavy blow on the
head, almost knocking him down. This
frightened the horse, which started to
run away, and in trying to lash up a
side vay between some houses, he upset
the cart and was himself thrown over
on his back, with heels up. Before he
could regain his equilibrium he was ar
rested. The driver was but little III
iursd. Neither were the horse or cart
much damaged. The drills escaped I'M
hurt.
