business air in and about Steamboat
that was never known before. Cullins
has a share in everything to be car
ried on there except in Granger &
Hess new store, and one of our sar-
castle citizens proposes th&t the mme
of the place be called ''Half-SEterest,"
instead of Steamboat. .
C. P. r. R.
The time on the Central Pacific was
changed on Sunday, andthe cars from
the west now arrive at Reno at a.
ing to some misunderstanding the
passengers for the V. & T. Railroad
| did not get off this morning until 6
O'Clock. The new arrangement list
much more announcement than the old,
which was .disagreeable enough; but
of course it suits those who are run
and convenience of the public is not
to be consulted.
l understand that only zone of the
forwarding houses here will have a
warehouse at Steamboat. The otner
two will continue ito forward goods
from here by teams as heretofore. If
the reported rates for freight from here
20 Steamboat are correct it will be
cheaper to stop goods here and send
them by teams to their destination.
THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
Another chapter in the history of
the new court house. that is to be, was
written yesterday when the Board of
County Commissioners awarded the
contract for erecting the building to S.
f. Hoole of Reno. He is to receive
twenty Thousand five hundred dollars
in gold coin and to give bonds for the
faithful performance of his contract in
a like srE1-the work to be csr1menc-
ed the first of May next. Now if
courts, lawyers and other, miscella-
neous persons will keep their hands
eff, and no financial difficulties inter-
vene, we will have another court
house next Summer, the court and
county officers will again have COM
Portable quarters, Lake will be happy
and the people on the north side Of the
bridge will become reconciled to the
inevitable.
COUNT COMMISSIONERS.
A little episode occurred yesterday
at the session OF the Board of County
Commissioners which came near re-
sulting in a contempt of court District
Court by that Board. A EIl-against
the county was presented by All attor-
ney, for legal services in defending
jurors tried for felony at the late term,
under appointment by the court.
Ehis bill was backed up by a recon-
mendation from that court and by bis
order catered on the minutes. Upon
the reading of this recommendation
one of the members of the Board re-
marked that. ''only a few months age.
this same court opposed the allowance
of a similar bill before the Board which
was the<i presented by certain other
attorneys. and discovered that bill to
be illegal, etc." He could not see the
consistency in opposing in one case
and recommending in the other, bills
that stood upon the same footing as to
legality, and merits in all other re-
spects. This Commissioner had evil
IDENTIFY forgotten that it makes a dit
ference as to "Whose OK is gored," and
he should hunt up Webster's spelling
book and refresh his memory by the
illustration he viii find there. The
Board compromised the matter by al
lowing one-half the bill in this latter
case, which was about the proportion
allowed in the other case referred to.
The interesting question (in algebra)
arises: what effect did the recommen-
dation of the court in the one case or
its opposition in the other, have upon
the Board of County Commission ers?
MRS. FIELD.
The citizens of Reno were entertained
on last evening by the accomplished
Mrs. Field, who lectured at Dyer's
Hall upon the follies of fashion. In
her discourse she made many telling
hits at fashionable life as seer in our
day, quoting largely from the poets in
