SPEECH BY Hon. THOs. FTrCH.-Last
evening, in accordance with previous
announcement, Hon. ThOs. Fitch ad-
dressed the people of Virginia on the
political issues of the day. The as
sembly was large and enthusiastic and
frequently gave vent to hearty rounds
of applause, which betOkened their
readiness to engage in the coming
campaign with their usual earnestness
where great principles still remain to
be determined by their suffrage. Mr..
Fitch returns to his constituents with
well earned reputation as a speaker
of great eloquence and logic, having
met in debate some of the ablest men
in Congress, and acquitted himself in
a manner highly creditable and rem
dering efficient service in the counsel
of the nation. His speech was one of
his finest efforts in this place, and
showed that the encomiumS of the
Eastern press upon his wonderful ora
tOrical powers were not Overdrawn.
On several occasions the speaker was
called upon by persons in the assem-
bly, to define his position on certain
topics in which they felt special inter-
est This he did in the most unequiv-
ocal and satisfactory manner, as
evInced by the expressed approDatlOn
of his audience. He was in no way
disconnected or annoyed by any Ques-
tons prOpounded and solicited their
continuance the better to enable him
to touch such matters as might most
particularly concern those of his audi
ence. Mr.. Fitch effectually awakened
the Republicans to a sense of the ne
ecssity of preparing for the coming
campaign, and has inspired them with
a degree of enthusiasm which will
doubtless last until victor. shall again
crown their efforts at the fall election.
At the close of his remarks, three
cheers were proposed for the Hon.
Thomas Fitch. They were given in a
manner showing the high apprecia-
ton of Nevada's able and faithful rep
by his constituents.-[En-
terprise of yesterday.

A SECOND WASHINGToN.-A mis-
chievous urchin in the lower part OF
the county, who had been reading that
anecdote of Washington and the cherry
tree, took it into his head the other day
to try the same experiment, to see how
he would come out. He cut down the
finest cherry tree in his fathers ORCH
ard, owned up to the vandalism in
true heroic style, and instead of hear
ing the welcome plaudit of Run to
my arms, my boys" for telling the
truth, his father gave him a good
sound thrashing to correct his mis-
chievous disposition. The boy is now
much incensed against the old man
Washington for not giving George the
whipping he deserved, and to the neg
lect OF parental duty our hero is in
debted for his own misfortune.-INe-

On Saturday morning last while G..
Dinsmore was out hunting wild hogs
at MOntecitO, he came across a grizzly

barrels of his gun, and then retired to
a safe distance and commenced reload
ing, when he was suddenly interrupt
ed by his bearship, who, coming too
clese, and the hunters gun not being
in shooting condition, he converted it
into harpoon and rammed the bar
rels down the bears throat, and bruin
was forced to masticate the gun. bins
more Immediately sought the friendly
limbs of a tree, when he had the salts
faction of presently seeing bruin in
full chase after his dog. The dog out

way home quietly. Gus says bear is

A FAST HORSE.-Edwin ThOrne

A FAST HORsE.-Edwin Thorne, of
Duchess County, n. v, it is said, owns
the fastest horse in the world. The
Poughkeepsie Eagle says the horse
has trotted half mile in 1905, and a
mile on the road in 2:lS, to wagon.
He has only one failing; he cannot be
driven on a race track. He has been
tried repeatedly, always making tre-
mendous time for the first half mile,
then going to a fearful break, and
dashing over stone walls and other OBJ
structiOns. On the road, however, he
can not be passed by any living horse.

RoBnERs' ROosr.-It is now gener'
ally believed that an organized band
of highwaymen exists in the mount
aims skirting Snake river, in Idaho
and Utah, with headquarters some
where in the vicinity of Salmon Falls.
From this point it is easy to sally
forth and attack stage on the COrinne
and Helena road: it is not so convent
ent but much safer to make a raid on
the ElkO and Idaho stage, as was re-
Gently done. Robbers familiar with
the point where the Cope stage was
IObbed and Salmon Falls, are perfect
ly safe while retreating, and unless
they can be tracked the entire distance
(which is doubtful and a hazardous
undertaking. or headed off and a clue
obtained in the vicinity of their head
quarters, they will enjoy immunity
from arrest. The tracks of horses
were followed from the scene of the
late robbery on the Cope road to and
beyond the North Fork of the Hum
bOldt, clearly indicating that the rob-
berS struck out for long ride, In the
direction of Salmon Falls. The coun-
try is uninhabited to the mouth of
Raft river, and, knowing the mount
aims, they could easily avoid the set
Elements there. We believe an officer
has gone up to Snake river, to look
round; but what is wanted is shrewd
detective stationed in that region. A
sharp eve should also be kept on the
desperadOes collected at what is known
as Rock Creek Station mentioned by
us some weeks since). With such a
to operate in, rendezvous
jndiciously established, and thorough
and discipline, such a
band could bid defiance to the law,
and grow rich by plundering stages in
a single Summer. True, they have
been twice repulsed on the Montana
road, but it cost the passengers dearly
in blood, and the second attack, close
upon the heels of the first, shows the
and determination of the
Independent.
