gave the alarm of fire. The engines
were out in a twinkling, and a stream
was got into the building. The house
in which the fire Was discovered is
owned by Charlotte Martin, who has
under her protection "A brood OF fallen
angels who luXuriate in the name OF
-Shoo Flies" The fire started near
the stove pipe i'll the parlor, and
strange to say the stove had not been
lit up for several days. The water
thrown into the building seems to have
done more harm than the fire. The
doves. who had not attended to their
morning pluInage, appeared consider

awakened from his dreams and i'll

Ii was thought by some that the boys
would have washed out the premises

prevailed, and they left the fair but
trail ones in peace.
SENATOR NYE.-The full-length por-
trait of Senator Nye. in a magnificent
gilt frame. was on Thursday suspend
ed il the office of the Secretary of
state. II is a splendid likenesS-a
speaking one; so much SO that the
tears he is wont To shed on ON oc-
casions appear to be trembling i'll the
corners of his ewes. Yesterday morn
ing We dropped in just a. the State
Librarian was in the act OF SOillOquIZ-
ing. The fire of his eye, the deep me-
tedious zones of his voice. almost
caused US TO believe the Senator there
ia f'roprIa persona.
THE MAN.-As many of our young
friends who drive wagons, seem to
lee exercised concerning our item of
Yesterday relative to the scrub who in
terferes with little girls. we beg leave
t. say the party is a stranger in town,
about nVe feet nothing in height,
whose nasal organ appears To have
been cut and spliced, and who looks
lust the kind of man to do the thing
charged. That he did not drive a
horse but a two-wheeled cart, and that
only for a few DAYS. Set YOUR minds
at rest We young men of Carson, Miles
Wing has spotted the hombre.
SCAKF> o THE AIps.-The scarfs
lpl the aus pi Tue 'Idlll .hdISiidl are
at the store of Joseph Rosenstock. We
have seen them, have arrayed our
fair proportions in one of them, and
are crazv To Toe an aid The Marshal
informs Us that one of the chosen neS
will be unable to attend. We are nat
urally modest and retiring. Will some
kind citizen intercede with the worthy
Marshal i'll our behalf? We want to
be an angel. and as we can't be that
thing, We want the next best.
THAT PoEM.-We had hopedto have
got a glipse at the poem for the Fourth,
but the Poet appears to be changed by
his trip. He is exceedingly reticent,
and all we could get out of him was
that writing a poem at a distance from
home. in Il strange place, is not as easy
a Job as might ice supposed. for just
about the time he would get to the
last line Of a verse and studying for
a word to rhyme, the refrain of 1.-THE
girl | left behind me-" would be ring
ing i'll his ears, and spoil the verse.
THE BALL.-The committee are
sparing no pains to make the Fourth
of July Ball a success. The very best
music in the State has been engaged.
The hall will be beautifully decorated
with evergreenS and flowers. and the
best of order will be maintained. The
Reception Committee and Floor Man
ayers have been chosen with a view to
the especial adaptaUility of the gentle
men so selected.
SUPREME CoURT.-In the case Ophlr
Silver Mining Company VS.. Carpenter
ct al, cause reversed and new trial
orhered. 1t will be remembered in
his great water case the lower Court
reduced the water so that Birdsall was
unable to run his mill. BIrdsall and
Carpenter were partners at the time of
commencing the suit. 1t is q case of
much interest to millmen.
RETURNED.-We were happy in be-
ing able to shake hands with our
worthy Governor yesterday. 1t seems
pleasant to have the old gentleman
with us. and more especially as some
fears we've felt that he would not return
by the Fourth. We heartily welcome
home the kind old man and trust he
may roam no more tor the present.
NEW Book SToRE.-As will be seen
by the advertisement of X. Fred.
Brooks, in another column, he has
opened his new store and is prepared
to furnish everything in the book and
S ationery line; also, Eastern papers
and periodicals. He invites the pub
