A CASE IN CoURr.-Quite al interest
ing case is on trial before Justice Cook,
of Gold Hill, to-day, one Johnny Jones
being tried for assault and battery,
threats against life, etc. 1t appears
that the aforesaid Jones did last Satur-
day night, at the lead hour of midnight,
go to the residence Of Mrs. O'Neil, back
OF the Granite Mill, kick aud violently
use the door, aud raise 4 row, until
after a while she lit a candle aud went
to see who it was. She said, "My God!
Johnny Jones, what are you doing this
for?" He said, "I'm after that dam
pup Of q husband of yours; he's been
talkin' about me about that bill" Then
Johnny pitched into her, and after =
we'll contested battle on her part, he got
her down and pounded, kicked and ILL
used her, evidence of which abuse she
bore on her person in Court. She got
him by The beard and scratched his face
some, so that he left. Then he threw
two stones at her without hitting her,
and she threw n tcacup Mt him with
similar success. Then she ran out to
where officer Hamlin lived, near by, and
tho consequence was that Johnny was
arrested, and admitted to bail in the
sum Of $50, to appear and be tried to-
day. The above is the substance Of the
lady's story for il. We had no time to
listen to Johnny's, or any other evil
dence in the matter. Stevens and Wood
burn are counsel for the prosecution
and Col. Bob Taylor for tho defense.
PIpER's OPERA HOUSE," Loves
Sacrifice, or the Rival Merchants" was
the attraction at the Opera House last
evening. lois a beautiful play and was
exceedingly well rendered in every re-
spect, passing Off smoothly, without
drag throughout. Margaret Elmoro
and Matthew Elmore, the two leading
characters, were very finely and nrtis-
tically portrayed by Miss lncc and Mr..
Edwards, and the balance Of the cast
was commercially sustained. The
audience, owing to the very stormy
weather prevailing, and the ball OF
Young America Engine Co. ut Athletic
Hall, was not quite AS large rs it would

doubtless be u very full house tonight,
rs " Mary Stuart" will he produced,
one Of the finest pieces ever put upon
that stage, with Miss Incc and Harry
Edwards in the leading characters, sup
ported by the entire strength OF the
talented company. The engagement of
Mis-. Ince concludes with the present
week, therefore all who would see her
in her best pieces, should embrace this
opportunity. Secure reserved seats for
tonight without extra charge.
Thar "SrRIKE" NEAR ENPrRE.-Mr.
Conrad Wiegand, the well known
assayer, who has visited those rich
quartz mines alleged to have been dis
covered some ten or twelve miles south
of Empire, does not seem To think they
amount to anything. There are n few
holes dug, showing quartz, but he saw
no ledge, and specimens he brought in
with him from the holes contained moth
ing, on assaying them. Thus the hopes
of finding u White Pine near home are
essentially in u blasted condition.
THs BALL LAST NIGuT.-The ball OF
Young America Engine Co. No. 2, Vir-
ginia, which took place at Athletic Hall
last evening, was II very social and
agreeable affair in every respect, and
we'll attended, although, owing TO the
storm, there were rot so many present
rs there would otherwise have been.
The music, furnished by Fillebrown and
others was the very best We have heard
this season on any similar occasion. We
congratulate the Young America boys
on their gratifying success.
OCCIDENTAL BuLLIoS.-The Occideh-
tai Company Saturday sent to Gad
Hill for melting and assay 400 pounds
of crude bullion, the result OF their
last weeks run. This lot of bullion
will yield, it is thought, nearly $4,000.
Owing to tho bad state OF the
during n portion Of the time, the Bird
sail mill, which is running on Oceiden-
tai ore, did not run up 10 more than
half its capacity.
FRANK FARISGroS's DAUGHTER. =
Frank F~srington says the baby addition
to his family, Mt Reno the other day,
was n girl, and not II boy, as the Enter
Prise wrougfully stated it. IT'S well.
Frank is the only one OF the old rcpor-
torial corps Of this section who has any
thing in that line which he can show rs
evidence that he has been Of any par.
,icular good to his country, aud we
congratulate him upon his success. We
intend marrying shortly.
