BESErIcIAL.-There is quite a variety
of opinion expressed regarding the effec'
Of the present showery weather /; some
~contending that it is actually injurious
to the public health, and productive o
disease. Now we notice that up to last
Sunday the weather had been very dry
and warm for weeks, and considerable
complaint was already being made oil
scarlet fever, diptheria, cholera NOR
bus, etc., therefore, that style OF
weather was hardly to be considered
perfectly healthy. As far as our own
individual experience is concerned, we
certainly felt IN uncomfortable degree
of depression and lowness of spirits
during those several days of last week
when the dark heavy clouds gathered
in the sky every afternoon, and although
the refreshing rain could be seen falling
all around us, yet the clouds were pro-
vokiugly reticent as far as this locality
was concerned. Now that the rains
have fallen, purifying and cooling the
atmosphere, an opposite effect 10 ex-
perienced not only by ourselves but by
others. Three years ago this summer,
when the people Of Virginia and Gold
Hill were dying off like rotten sheep
with cholera morbus-the sickliest sea-
son yet experienced in the history OF
this section-the weather was dry, sui
try and uncomfortable, quite different
from what i, is at the present time.
Seasonable showers are among the
choicest blessings bestowed by an all
wise Creator upon his children Of the
earth, and let US be duly thankful
therefor.
CELESTIAL GAMBLERS GoBBLED.-
About IL o'clock last evening, at Gold
Hill, Constable Harkin, policeman New
house and special Binsley made a raid
upon a lot of Chinese gamblers who
were making considerable noise in the
second story of an old wooden house
Just below the Yellow Jacket office, on
Main street. They corraled eleven of
the pig.tailed gentlemen, who loudly
protested their innocence, and even in
case they were gambling they produced
q document which they considered rs q
license to run a game il they chose,
but it was simply a written agreement,
given them by n young Gold Hill law
yer, agreeing for a certain specified sum
to defend them against any and all suits
for gambling during o specified time.
This was no go, so they were all taken
to the station house and lodged for the
night, all in one cell. There was no
sleep for the jailer that night. Ten of
them claimed to be cooks at various
houses aud restaurants about town; If
this was true, there were some slim
breakfasts given this morning probably.
1t being somewhat difficult to actually
prove them to be gamblers, they were
finally let off by the payment of costs,
on the ground Of misdemsanor.
