MORE EARTHQUAKES. - There was
quite a lively shock Of earthquake last
night about quarter Of twelve O'Clock,
which was felt throughout Gold Hill
and Virginia. 1t caused windows to
shake, door bells to ring, crockery TO
rattle. some clocks to stop, and created
quite a commotion generally, nota few
people rushing from their beds to the
| Street in alarm, especially at Virginia,
where there is more wickedness than
In Gold Hill. One or two light shocks
succeeded it within a few minutes, and
| there was 4 noticeable shock between
2 and 3 O'Clock this morning.
Box SHEET OpENISa.-To-morrow
morning, at 10 o'clock, the box sheet
will be opened at Piper's Opera House,
in order to give opportunity for all
| who desire to secure season tickets for
the coming grand Brlgnoli Opera sea-
son of three nights. Those first apply
ING will of course have the first choice
in securing seats. We have enough
true lovers of fine music and the legiti-
mate opera in this community to take
every seat in that house long before
the opening night january 10TH ar
rives. Read the advertisement in an
other column.
EARTHQUAKE AND SMMI-Pox.-I 1t
seems a little rough in view OF SMELL
pox prevalence to also inflict earlh-
! ouakes .upou us. With the present
fresh breaking out of the smallpox,
| earthquakes also break out in both
| light and strong cases, one disease cor
| responding with the other in that re-
! spect. Old Mother Earth appears to
be in a state of delirium tremens from
, her Christmas spree, and don't do to
bet on any moro than the smallpox.
SrEAMBoNr.-It seems the report
that the big earthquake Of Sunday
night caused the Steamboat Springs to
boil over in so unusual q manner as to
throw their waters 10 or 20 feet high
in the air was all a humbug. Bennett,
Of Wells. Fargo It Co.'S, was over
there yesterday and ascertaincd that
nothing unusual in that line occurred.
The springs are sending out more
steam, but no more water than they
did before the earthquake.
New STREET CRossNe.-A fine new
plank crossing is being constructed
across c street, Virginia, in front Of
Banner Brothers store, corner of Tay-

Captain Charley, the we'll known

Yesterday, as is his usual custom when
he comes to town. He was rugged out
in full regimentals of bobtailed coat
and red stripes, plug hat trimmed with
brass buttons, and numerous chunks
of brass and clamshells dangling in his
long dark tresses. Commanding his
staff to await him on the porch, he en-
tered our sanctum and gave us import
ant official information of the late
earthquake and its general effect upon
the Piute Nation. He was just in from

A few months ago an engineer Of an
express train On the Pennsylvania Central
railroad going west discovered an engine
approaching him at such rate of speed
that he was at once convinced that it was
without an engineer. He instantly whis
tied his breaks down, at the same time
sending his fireman back to uncouple his
s'tender" from the train, while he at the
some moment uncoupled his hose and en-
CINE, and opened his throttle wide, with
his red flag jumped back on his tender
He just looked back and saw his train
nearly stopped, and on dashed the two
engines toward each other like very de-
mons. He broke up gently on his tender,
and finally stopped it, and in breathless
silence watched for the collision. The
engines came together. throwing each 9th
er clear off the track, and smashed all to
pieces. He left his tender. and with his
flag ran on to meet the express going east.
Il being two minutes behind time. he had
just time to flag it," and it was brought
to stop within few feet of the wrecked
engines, and one Of those terrible acct
dents was avoided Need we say that for
this heroic act the company presented him
with check for $1,000! Cannot engin-
GERS on some of cdr other trunk lines take
a lesson from this ?-New York San.

Frederick William the Third, of Prus-
STA. was in the habit of riding out in the
streets of Berlin. in a very transformations
carriage. One day his coachman- drove
him through very narrow street, in the
middle of which they were met by the
splendid equipage Of wealthy Meek
lenburg nobleman, Count Hahn. The
Kings coachman of course refused to
drive asi de, so as to allow tho Counts
carriage to pass by. The Counts coach
man, who did not know who was seated
in the plain little carriage before him,
was equally unwilling to give way.
Suddenly Count Hahn sprang to his feet
and shouted. ''Sirrah, do you know that

the King, on his part, rose, too. aad said
quietly: "And you, sir. do you know that

INFORMING STAR BITTERS--A CERTAIN
M CURE. FOR FEVER AND AGUE.-
This preparation has been before Tie public for a
number of years, and in every instance,
where it has been tested with
fairness, it has shown itself radical cure for all
diseases of a bilious type. Nearly every section
of this country is more less subjected to Malar
ial influence, showing itself in the form of Fever
and Ague, Remittent Fever, Congestion of the
Liver, in its various forms of Dspectic troubles.
For all cases of this kind the Morning Star Bit
tiers offers not only certain and speedy cure
but an excellent preventative. 1t contains no
mineral or poisonous qualities. but is composed
entirely of vegetable matter. 1t is not claimed
for this article that it will cure all diseases On
to those afor esad, arising from deranged Liver,
viz: Nervous or Bilious headache, in
delicate females or children, melancholy dyspep-
STA, general debility, &c. In bilious fever and
chils and fever, its value, not only as relief,
but as an actual cure, has been fully proved. A
small quantity of the Morning Star Bltters, taken
daily, will prevent the attacks Of any of the above
complaints, even where a tendency for the same
may exist. Its not intended for this article to
inflict with physicians, will be seen by the few
testimonials there attached, and the many more
accompanying each bottle.

INEQUALITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF VIRGINIA.
Read these Advertisements before you Insure.
EQUALITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF VIRGINIA.
OF VIRGINIA.

Reasons why every one should insure in the
Equality Life Insurance Company of Virginia:
First. 1t is more liberal TO the insurers than
any other company, and will eventually become
purely mutual, and belong to the insurers.
Second 1t circulates its money amongst its
patrons who are the insurers Consequently
they are continually getting the benefit OF the
rapid accumulations Of the Company, the money
being invested by the Board of Directors amongst
the insurers Therefore the insurers are build
ing up an institution peculiarly their own, and
conducted for their benefit.
Third. The loans in this Company are as liberal
as other companies, who declare dividen ds at the
end of the second third, and fourth years; but
this Company at the end of the first and every
year. Thereby the insurer saves several years
interest on his loans by insuring in this Company,
and he never looses his money if he ever pays up
for ONE WHOLE YEAR, whereas in other com
panies he has to remain an insurer for several
wears, or he looses all the money he has paid.
Let the people of Virginia take plain, com
mon sense view of the subject, and see that it is
to their interest to keep the money here, where
they have no restrictions scarcely on their poll
cies, and can get the use of the money they have
been heretofore sending out of the State.

TO AGRICULTUIRSTS

An extensive experience of twenty years as
importers and dealers in GUANo and Fertlli-
zers of various description, and by direct in
tercourse with farmers and planters, as
GRAIN MERCHANTS, has enabled us to learn
their experience and results from all sorts Of
natural and artificial MANUREs and to form a
practical knowledge of their wants in fer
tilizer adapted generally to the various soils
and crops Of the Southern States, and at a
price commensurate with present values and
proper regard to economy in outlay.
We have been induced to establish a man
ufaotory in this city upon an extensive scale,
with the appliance Of steam and with every
recent improvement in machinery for grind
ing, mixing and thoroughly combining the
various chemical constituents, now well as
certained as forming the elements of a first
class fertilizer, and absolutely required to
build up the truly vegetable part of the plant,
and restore to the soil the elements of direct
''PLANT FOOD" which previous crops may
have drawn from it, and which can be relied
upon for uniformity, containing the valuble
properties claimed for it, and at a less price
than any other similar manure offered in this
market.

1t is related of the sanity George
Herbert, the quaint old English church
poet, that once iu walk to Salisbury to
Join musical party he saw poor man
and poor horse that had fallen under the
the load. They were both in distress,
and needed present help, which Mr.. Her
bert perceiving, put off his canoaical coat
and helped the poor man to unload his
horse. The poor man blessed him for
it, and be blessed the poor man, and was
so like the good Samaritan that he gave
money to refresh himself and horse.
Thus he left the poor man: and at his
coming to his musical friends at Salisbury
they began to wonder that Mr.. George
Herbert, who used to be SO trim and clean
came into that company soiled and dis
composed But he told them the occasion
and when one of of the company told him
be had disparaged himself by SO dirty
employment, his answer was that he
thought what he had done would prove
aaasic to him at midnight, and that the
omission OF it would have upbraided and
made discord in his conscience whatsoever
he should pass by that place Many
might have the anxious thoughts which
often infest their midnight hours changed
into music, if they would only be more
frequently seen, with fall hands and
friendly words, in the abodes of poverty
and suffering These are the places in
which to attune ones conscience to
midnight harnlenies. 81" -
