THAT "PoIsoS OAK" CAsE.-Mr
Biuslev, of this town, who has beer
copfred TO his house for two or thre.
weeks past, suffering severely from an
attack Of poison oak, is oucs more able
to appear on the streets. He first con.
tracted the poison in California some
five years ago, by coming in contact
with that well known virulent shrub
and although, after a severe spell oil
sickness, he was supposed to have re-
covered, yet the virus evidently re-
manned in his system, for it broke out
on him again about two years ago, in a
similar manner to his present severe
attack. Whom be was taken sick on
the last occasion, it was reported that
he had the smallpox, and We so stated
in the News but the matter being Off
cially decided otherwise by n competent
physician, at the instigation Of the Gold
Hill Board of Health. in accordance
with said decision we gladly did justice
to all parties by stating tina, the disease
was from poison oak and not small
pox. We regret to notice a disposition
on the part of some smallpox sensation
alists to make a joke of Mr.. Binslsy's
misfortunes, but the sufferer himself
can ssurs them that he found it a very
poor subject for a joke.
READY FOR SsRvIcE.-Washoe Engine
No. 4 of Virginia, which has been out
of service for a few days to undergo
some necessary repairs, is in tip-top
order once more, and is announced as
ready for service after to-day. That
most efficient machine has been
out Of service before since she has be-
longed to the Department. George Of
the Safeguard had it yesterday that the
company had been out Of service under
going repairs. That's not 20. None Of
those boys are or have been badly d.
lapidated. They have kept in good
standing, ready for service at all times.

BANroRD's BENEFIT To-NIGHT.-The
grand complimentary benefit of Alfred
Bamford, the famous f~.lsetto singer at
Piper's Opera House, takes place his
evening. Bamford is a most excellent
gentleman and deserving artist, and we
doubt not his numerous friends in Gold
Hill aud Virginia will crowd the house
tonight. The bill for the occasion
will be an extra good one, and there
being only three more nights before the
,heater closes, our melodeon-goers will
do we'll to improve their opportunity
while they can. Give Bamford n
bumper.
"Loox Our FOR THE LIVELY Flea
The tickets for Bamford's benefit at the
Opera House tonight all bear the above
significant legend. Gait think what it
means, unless it refers to Johnny Tuers
when he brings that big shoe Of his
down upon the stage, to the utter death
and destruction Of all creeping things.
Perhaps, however, it means that one
spoken of in the Bible, where it says
q the wicked fee when no man pursu-
