Small, member Of the Assembly from
Douglas County at the first Nevada

efficiently OBLIGATED as Page Of the
Third House, at its last session, paid
us an official visit at noon to-day. The
Colonel is the same tall portly seven
footer, hearty aud genial rs ever,
straighter, weightier, and more sub
stantial looking than Governor Bias
del, and the intricate and weighty af-
fairs Of the nation do not appear to
whitcn his top-knot or frrrow his
manly cheek in any unusual degree.
He looks rs If he might live 1000
years. and we hope he will, If he wants
to. We didn't ask him why he Is here,
but understand that 1t is for the pur-
pose of calling al extra session OF the
Third House Immediately, for the
special transaction Of important busi-
ieSS.
Snow on THE SuAArr.-COlonel Jim

SURFING IT BAcK.-Monumental En-
CINE Company No. 9, on the Divide,
took their fire alarm bell down from
IT, cupola last evening, Cor the purpose

II is badly cracked, but it never was
good for much even at best, and could
not be heard as far a a policeman's

quired at that point.
