In THE FIELD.-Now that the weather is

long for customer at that but by moving
about early and late, they manage to dispose
of few load, daily. he donkey, his queer
load and queerer driver, add not little u the
pietures4urue,s of our street sights, and some
times such comical scenes occur, growing out
Of the inherent perversiveness of the donkey S

Intimately acquainted with the nature of his
donkey, and knows the meaning of every
witch of his ear and every switch OF his tail.
When his donkey halts, with his fore legs
braced forward, his neck out>tretched and his
tail moderated, elevated, John becomes excl
ted, and thumps and loudly calls upon his
beast to de>i,t, but all Is of no avail. Mr..
Donkey must have his bray our, and nothing
will bulge him till he has finished it, even
down to the last long-drawn howl. When
two donkeys meet, they are almost certain
like biped donkeys-to stop and exchange
ci,ilities, and So well do the drivers know
this, that they invariably begin beating and
shouting in advance, knowing well what is
about to come, and desiring to make the So

possible, As to what would be the conse-
quenee could donkey be cut short in the
midst of his bray, is an undecided question

over the news that Dyer's Reno stage
had been stopped by robbers on Fri
day night when a short distance north
of Washoe City near the Tamarac mill
and its passengers and Wells Fargo Il
Co.'S treasure box robbed of their
money and valuables. Passengers
who came in from Reno yesterday
morning report that the scene of the
robbery is a. the bridge which crosses
WashOe Creek near the Tamarac mill
across which some planks lad been
placed to stop the horses. Upon stop
ping the stage the robbers-Of whom
there were three-inquired ifthe Gov
ernor was on board. Somebody from
the inside replied that he was, refer
ring, no doubt to Lieut.. Gov. Singer
land who was in the stage on his way
to Reno, to attend the Washoe County
Convention. The passengers were or
dered, at the muzzIe of three shot guns,
to get out of the stage and they did so
with the exception of Mr.. kost and his
wife and children and a Mrs. Carter,
all of whom We're graciously permit
ted by the foot-pads to remain in their
seats. The male passengers were COM
PEELED to range themselves up against
the mill while one of the highwaymen
event through" then-his pals per-
suading the process, meanwhile, by
their leveled shot guns. upon inquir-
ing at the stage Office and of the friends
of some Ofthe passengers we learn the
following PARTICULARS: The passengers
who left here for Reno by Dyer's stage
yesterday evening were: James l..
Slingerland, Lieutenant Day ofthe u.
5. Navy, nephew ofSurveyor General
Day. Lawrence Barnhart, of Carson. a
man by the name of kost and his wife
and four children, Mrs. Carter, Mr..
Farrer, Curly well known OK driv-
er and one other whose name we have
not learned. S,ingerland was robbed
of $500; Lieutenant Day gave up $50.
and, We believe, his valuable gold
watch and chain; "Curly," who was on
his way to San Francisco for his health |
lost $50, all he had; this was a hard
case, and Mr.. NJ. c. Gardner of this |
place, meeting ''Curly" after his mis-
hap, gave him money enough to pro-
coed on his Journeys; Barnhart (..Pln-
chey") saved his money-something |
over hundred dollars-by letting his
purse drop into his sleeve when order
ed bythe robbers to hold up his hands;
what the others lost We have not learn
ed. Kost and his wife and children
and Mrs. Carter. as we said before
were not molested. Wells, Fargo 4
Co.'S treasure box contained only SIlOl
in greenbacks and SIS in coin. This
was taken, of course. Slingerland's
watch was respected after he called
attention to a Masonic Emblem which
hung from the chain. This was for
tunate "save" for the Gov. for the
watch is one which was presented to
him in open Senate by Mr.. Tritle on
the last night of the session Of that
body; and the chain is one which the
Democratic members ofthat body pre-
scented him on that occasion. This
bold robbery is one of the most sue
cessful that has ever been perpetrated
on the road in this State since our Pc
culiar "road agencies' were establish
