CARSON TTEMs.-We extract the fol-
lowing from the Register of this morn
ing: 4 little son of James Robinson
came near receiving q serious if not
fatal injury OH Wednesday last, but
fortunately escaped with only a few
bruises. He was playing In company
with other children on the machinery
connected with the mill used for grind
ing malt by Mr.. Klein, and got his foot
fast In the gearing, but was extricated
from his perilous position by the work.
men,. -. Warren WATSON and others
are having a ditch surveyed from Wal
ley's Warm Springs to Hal. Claytop's
ranch, for the purpose Of irrigating
their ranches. They will get water
from the Carson river. The ditch will
be six miles long BY two feet deep and
four feet wide -. The Silver Stars will
have n practice game at their grounds
this afternoon, commencing at 2:30
o'clock. They are going after the I'm
knowns again, not those they tackled
last week, but those headed by Ed.
Kiesele. Bright, the County Clerk, and
"sich like"
CELEBRATION or THE FoURTH.-The
Finance Committee finds no difficulty
in raising all the money required for
the coming celebration at Virginia,
which takes place a week from next
Tuesday. We understand that there
is to be 10 special public exhibition of
fireworks, which, after all, In view of
the danger of conflagration, Is not such
4 bad idea, and perhaps might prove
an agreeable change. Not that we
would particularly object to a mod
crate amount Of well guarded pyro-
technic displays, Of q few thousand
rockets judiciously let of, but special
public fireworks generally turn out to
be n regular humbug and failure, never
coming fully up to the anticipations-
more of q tizzle than anything else.
The money spent for these big hum
bugs could be better expended in q
few handsome triumphal arches across
the streets, identifying the procession,
etc. The Virginia Fire Department
will be a specially splendid feature of
the coming celebration, each company
making unusually elaborate prepara-
tions for the occasion. All will turn
with full ranks,
