cal effects Of such pleas. They were
calculated to have a tendency to soften
tho obduraie heart Of justice, and to save
the county from expense. They enlarged
the perforations in the strains of mercy,
and in this instance Modified the Court
into q sentence of only two years
Imprisonment. The learned Judge paused
and gave a benlgnant look at Flynn, the
alleged burglar, who forthwith melted,
and uttered q long, enduring plea Of
guilty. Flynn was fairly caught in
this transparent trap, to the great dis
gust of his surrounding friends. His
case was evidently N Of persecution,
and he should have met it like a man.
His innocence could have been easily es-
teblished, for the only evidence against
him WAS a kit of %unsentient burglars
tools found in his possession, and the
fact hal be was arrested coming from
another mans room, where he had un
consciously wandered, while in a state of
,omnambnlism, and taken $l64 from a
sleeper's pocket. Whilst in this inno-
cent condition of abnormal dormancy,
Flynn was evidently an irresponsible
mountaineering under a suspension of
reasoning powers-and hence not guilty
under some one Of the 942 different
phases of legality insanity. Flynn Is n
mistake. He won't do.
\ MAGNIFICENT Discovery We have
the pleasure of announcing q very i'm
portant ledge discovery at IN unexpected
point on the eastern brow Of White Pine
Mountain. About a week since, A. II.
Biggs, Superintendent Of the Jennie A.
Consolidated Company. set men To work
to clear away a site for smelling works,
10 operate in connection with the mines
Of the company. The men cut down n
deep facing in tho mountain. about 30
feet from the shaft Of the Jennie A., and
then dug the ground away laterally for a
foundation. On Thursday last, as they
we're l~eveling off tho hard foundation,
they struck into a splendid ledge. In
three days-that is up TO last Saturday
night-they stripped the ledge a distance
Of 80 feet in extent, and took out over 80
tuns of first class smelling ore, 1t is
estimated that there are 100 tuns Of
similar ore in sight. The ledge is mainly
composed Of gray carbonate, Unrestricted
with argentiferous galena, carrying IA
large amount of silver and Of astonishing
avoirdupois. The furnace will not go
up on that site.
The BAR.-Application was made yes
terday to the District, Court. by +. i.
S~tonehill. for admission 60 practice.
Examiners were appointed, and the ap-
plicant will be put through his PAGES.
In view of the paucity of suits pending.
and the general hard times besetting the
legal profession. a young man of Mr..
Stonehill's versatility must have a large
degree Of temerity to hang out his shin
gle. Business Is so dull now among
legal practitioners that We could name
several. even in Hamilton, who are
forced to leave some of their bills un-
paid. When an honorable profession is
in this i~mpecunious condition. it should
not be adopted as n pursuit by a young
man possessed of large financial acu-
men.
THE RACE SUNDAY. Everybody who
could raise a piece was off to the races
on Sunday afternoon, at the Three-Mile
House, between Travis b.. &. Ever
mario and Bishops c. h. Jimmy
Distance, 400 yards. The Travis gelding
got well off on the start. and his compe-
iitor failed TO gather himself TO his work
until about half the distance was accom-
plished, when 'Ewerinario was some 20
feet in the lead. But Jimmy then
came down to his work in fine style, and
reached the score only a foot or two be-

the race. Mr.. Bishop was not q princi-
pal in this contest, his horse having been
entered by an outside party.
BOTTLED Up' AT LAsT.-M Loon, the
man who pleaded guilty to the purloin-
ing of a quantity Of a lot Of amalgam
from the Big Smoky mill. and who was
yesterday sentenced by Judge Beatty TO
two years imprisonment, is the man
Marks who figured in the breaking into of
the Catholic Orphan Asylum, at Nir-
ginis City, some two years siuce. He
escaped conviction on that occasion, and
vas well under the eye of the police
authorities during his s%ojourn in West
ern Nevada. Loon has at last been
withdrawn from his ambient fight, and
will hereafter soar only within the cir
cnmscribed limits OF a prison wall.
A COMPLETE Krr.--Flynn, who plead
I'D guilty to the charges against him yes
terday, was the possessor of a complete
set of burglars instruments. He had
an assortment Of skeleton and safe
keys. such as would have sent Skies into
sxtacies. Jimmies, safe-borers, dark
lanterns, steel bits, nippers and every
tool an honest burglar could desire,
we're comprised in this very superior
outfit.
FIRE ALARM.--About 4 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. the FIRE bell made things lively
in town for a while, by ringing an alarm.
II was caused by a dense quantity OF
smoke and blaze rising from a foul stove
pipe in the rear of the Oakland Lodg-
~ing-house. We will state that the pro-
prietor was at the base ball ground play
ing at the time, so that he may not DO
annoyed by idle questions from oyer-in-
qnisitiye persons.
hAcEs.-About l50 persons, among
whom were many Indies, attended the
races, which took place about three miles
below shermantown, on Sunday after
noon. Several scrub races we're run by
very indifferent stock, but on some OF
which the betting was quite lively. Tho
main race was at s p. m, between the
dun horse of Converse, and Watson's
Day mare-tho former winning easily.
Distance, 40 yards.
