GEORGE FRANCIS TRkN.-Our bosom
friend, George Francis Train-the
noisiest American In the worlds now
engaged in a lecturing tour through
Michigan, speaking every night to big
and hugely interested audiences. Geo.
P. Bemis, his private secretary, was at
Omaha last Thursday, and told the
editor Of the Tribune about 1t. George
Francis will probably come to Gold
Hill soon, as he proposes sailing for
Europe shortly, in order to jerk the
old British lion about by the beard a
few times more before he settles down
into a square political canvass for his
election as President Of the United
States next year. We expect through
his influence to obtain a very lucrative
and easy position In the Treasury De-
partment, after he Is elected. George
Is a rampant, raging lion himself, in
his W estimation, and woe to all
unfortunate little scrubs like the Brit
ish lion when George gets to snorting
and shaking his name around him.
Bemis says arrangements are already
made for George to speak In most Of
the large towns and cities of England
and Ireland, and he has already pre-
pared n great variety of the most
viciously effectual epigrams, full Of the
pure nitroglycerine and concentrated
benzine of rabid virtue, liberty, incor-
ruptibility. rampant humbuggery and
solid impotence, such rs will cause the
aforesaid British beast to put his lordly
tail between his legs and curl himself
up in quiet, humble endurance behind
his throne.
LIVELY. On the occasion of the fire
at the north end of Virginia last Fri
day evening, an unusual number of
pistols and guns seemed to have been
left in the burning houses, so hastily
vacated by their numerous occupants.
Every few minutes pop would 60 some
kind Of q weapon, and occasionally a
volley Of half q dozen shots, when a
revolver got excited. Here and there
a shotgun would take 4 notion to chip
in with n startling report, and In fact
all those reports Of firearms were
rather startling to the more nervous
among the crowds Of spectators. A
can of coal oil created quite a sensa-
ton rs it exploded with a lively,
tizzlinS sound, like q rampant sky
rocket, sending n huge puff Of black
smoke high in air. The firearms did
not happen to be pointed at anybody,
or at any rate nobody got hit.
TO HOG ANT DOG OwSERs.-Town
Marshal Harkin gives official notice in
another column that he will put the
town ordinances, relative to hogs rum
ming at large or dogs without tags,
strictly in force from this day forward.
SO proprietors Of stray pigs or tagless
dogs had better look out for their four
legged property forthwith and at once.
FRurr.-Peaches made their first ap-
pearance for the season in our markets
yesterday. They are rather green and
hard yet. Plums have also appeared.
The first crop Of the strawberries Is
getting rather played out. Last years
apples are plenty and In good condi-
ton ; new les will be along soon.
MINING ACCIDENTAL carpenter at
the Gould s. Curry mine yesterday
afternoon accidently cut his left hand
quite badly with an ax. The cut was
across the back Of the hand, nearly
severing some Of the metacarpal bones.
DR.. Conn dressed the wound.
The OMNIBus.-Those proposing to
the great benefit at Piper's
House tonight, from Gold Hill
and the Divide. will do well to consult
Jake White, of the bus line, relative
to their passage to and from the the
VIRGINIA observation-disclosures
ing, both north and south, at the 500
foot level, from the new SHAFT, Is being
vigorously prosecuted, with but little
to interfere with operations.
Some good looking quartz Is encoun-
tered In the north drift.
