many families. They are really in need

O~BsrRucTIoSs IN THE SrRExrs.-We
believe that Virginia, without Boosting,
may claim having the most extensive
wagon yard in America. From the
Chaplin House, on South G street, all
the way to the Washington House, on
the Divide, teams,ers make it a practice
to abandon their wagons overnight. On
passing over that portion Of the only
thoroughfare between Gold Hill and
Virginia, after dark, a perfect wilder.
ness Of wagons is encountered every
night. You find them strewu along
both sides Of the street, most Of them
left "catacornered" wise across, so
that in avoiding wagon tongues, and
loads of wood, and empty wagons with
hay ricks on, and quartz wagons, and
lumber wagons and ice cream carts
and wheslbarrows, a person coming
along with q team after dark must have
a nice time of it, describing the ordin-
ary course Of an old Virginia zigzsg
rail fence. Parties having had narrow
escapes from serious accidents from the
above cause have called our attention
to the matter, aud we would suggest
that il belong, under the proper func-
tions of the Chief Of Police Of Virginia,
as well as the Town Marshal Of Gold
Hill, "a see that the nuisance complained
of is abated, as far as it practically can
be done. Let posters be printed and
stuck up literally in the locality indi-
Gated, designating one side Of the street
or the other-the east side would per-
haps be the best-as wagon asylum,
and directing that wagons be taken well
out to the side and placed in a straight
line with the street before abandoned,
and an improvement will soon be per-
ceptible. The nuisance should be
abated somehow. The foregoing re-
marks will apply as well to the north
end of G street, from Sutton avenue out
nearly to the Sierra Nevada works.
ESSENTIALLY WoRsrEp. - We learn
from the Carson appeal OF this morning
that Sheriff Steen Of Nye County
brought in on yesterday a negro by the
name Of Augustus Atchison, convicted
of the crime Of highway robbery, and
sentenced to the Nevada Pcni,entiary
for a term of three years. This dele
gate from the "Great East " comes in
rather a dilapidated condition, having
received a ball in his leg from u Henry's
rife while attempting to rob his victim.
The wound in his leg is a serious one,
and will unfit him for work for months.
Would it not be better to aim a little
higher up next time, and thus relieve
the State from the expense OF boarding
and clothing such outlaws.
RouoH ON THE AuDIEScs.-The Enter
prise Justices Court report of this morn
ing, states that Joseph McElroy, arrested
by officers Morrow and Watt, for viola
ting a city audience" forfeited $50
So very extensive and wholesale an out
age should cntitle him to pay more
than that. We should judge Mac to be
n terrible fellow, did we not know that
ordinance" and not audience was
what got violated. Misprints tell queer
stories sometimes.
The RAILROAD CAsE.-Ths Carson
Appeal Of this morning says: "Ths
railroad case was not presented in the
Supreme Court yesterday, as We and
Others had supposed it would be. We
learn that the necessary papers-trans-
sript, e,c.-have not yet been taken out
and applied by the Railroad Company.
It is hardly to be supposed that the
company will accept MS a tinality in the
premises the decision Of Judge Wright
refusing to dissolve the injunction"
ATTENTION, FRS LADIES = The
Chief of tho Gold Hill Fire Department,
Elder Gibson, has made an official call
on all Of our 6remen to turn out on mex
Sunday afternoon, at two O'Clock, ant
assemble at the new water cistern or
tho Bowers Grade, for drill, aud &c
bring all their hose and apparatus
along.
The LAST TUSNEL.-Thc last tunnel
on the railroad between here and Vir'
slnia will be about completed tonight
The tunnel itself was completed some
weeks ago, and is about 100 feet IN
length between the two ends OF the
arch, but the open cut or approach a
the north end was a pretty extensive
one, and is what is just now being I'M
ished.
To TAx.pArERs.-We are desired by
the proper officers, to remind all State
and county tax.paysrs'tha. on the 18th
of this presen, month Of November theiI
taxes will become delinquent unless
paid. After that time ten per cent,
will be added, therefore all interested
had better take notice.
