Virginia, evening before last, the En-
met Guard, together with quite a num-
Der Of invited friends, had n jolly good
time, the occasion being the awarding
Of prizes shot for at their recent target
excursion. \ long table, placed in
the center OF the hall, was loaded with
champagne and other liquid refresh
ments, and a very jolly time was had.

BATTLE OF THE RnINDs.-Quite a
pitched battle occurred OH south e
street, Virginia, yesterday noon, be-
tween three Pluto squaws. They were
sitting on the edge Of the sidewalk en-
loving a feast Of ancient watermslons
and cantelopes, when suddenly 4 row
broke out among them and at it they
went, two Of them pelting one firi-
ously with melon rinds and whatever
missiles they found handy. Some bucks
near by interfered and stopped the
muss by taking them of in different
directions. A quarrel among Piute
sauaws Is something very unusual, at
least seldom seen by the white public.
We did not learn the cause of.the diff
ficulty. Perhaps 1t was Jealousy,
scandal, or something Of the sort.
BENEFIT OF EAGLE ENGINE Co.-The
benefit at Piper's Opera House, on
Saturday evening, given to Eagle En-
CINE Co. Nos Virginia, will undoubt-
edly be a grand success, judging
from the rapid rate the tickets
are selling at. The entertain
meut will be a most excellent one, Of
the vocal and instrumental music or
der, and as 1t will be ladies' night, we
expect to see the dress circle look gay
on that occasion. The programme
Is duly announced in Il advertising
columns, under head Of New to-day"
BENEFIT OF Miss THOMAS. Miss
Isabella Thomas, the charming and
tailed soprano singer. at Virginia, who
recently made such q successful debut
ut Farini's concert, takes n compli-
msntary benefit at Piper's Opera
House next Thursday evening, October
10th. A very fine vocal and instru-
mental entertainment will be given,
we. presume, under the direction Of
Professor Farini, a number Of the best
singers and musicians participating.
REarsrER.-No true Republican will
fail to 20 forward, pay his poll tax IL
he has not already done sol and get his
name properly registered for the gen.
eral election in November. The books
are now open and the registry agents
waiting to record the names rs fast as
thew come in. The time Is short, SO
don't wait till the last day. when there
Ia the greatest rush, but just 80 up now
and register. Now Is the time.
SPOTTED LIKE DoMiSoEs. The
teeth soon become speckled If every
dealement Is not removed from them
every t%wenty-four hours. To do this
efectually, there Is nothing like sozo,
don't. It literally renders the enamel
. impervious and i~ndestructible.
