MIscmEF.-Last Friday evening three
cars, loaded with wood and lumber,
were left standing OH the switch Of the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad, near
the Yellow Jacket works, when GER
tain mischievous boys took occasion to
take out the coupling pins and loosen
the brakes, so that the cars started
down the grade. Fortunately the
switch was closed ut the lower end, so
that two of the cars ran off the track,
requiring two hours work morning
with a locomotive to get them on
again. Had the switch been open It Is
difficult to say how far down the main
track the cars would have gone before
they flew the track, or what damage
would have resulted. One Of the boys
was OIL the cars when they got of, aud
was arrested by the watchman. The
rest run away, but they will be pun
iShed to the full extent of the law II
caught. Superintendent Yerington
IS determined to put n stop to this
species of dangerous mischief, and
warns parents as we'll as boys accord
ingly.

thunder storm last evening. Heavier

the result of the demonstration a was
expected, yet some very good and nc
ccptable showers fell, laying the dust
finely in Gold Hill and Virginia. The
storm vas much heavier over In Steam
boat Valley and toward the Truckee
than here. The rain poured In tor
rents and Steamboat creek and other
streams in that section were so swollen
as to be dangerous or impossible In
fact, the whole surface Of the country
seemed one complete sheet of water.
The lightning played about continu-
ouSly and in the most brilliant style,
apparently close down to the earth.
