Bryyyo1ESr OapER.-Ul

Is only that Of the most practical and
direct order, such as relieves actual
want among those at home among us,
before looking abroad. The ladies Of
this society, in the promotion Of their
m~eritorious object, bring true social
pleasure to their assistance, and the
series Of very enjoyable entertainments
given BY them at Miners Union Hall,
during the past few months, have
therefore been ~deservedly we'll at
tended. They do not, however, pro-
pose hereafter giving very frequent
parties OF this character until next
fall. On Thursday evening next they
will give n social dancing party-per-
haps the last one for the present-at
Miners Union Hall. We sincerely
hope 1t will be very fully and agreea-
bly, attended, and that the ladies will
realize a goodly amount Of coin for
their benevolent treasury.
Nasal. CANNIBAL.-About 8 o'clock
last evening James Dram, Of Gold
Hill, had his nose bitten off by Tim
Flanagan, at a cabin on North B street.
Virginia. Dram says that Flanagan
was somewhat In liquor. and AFTER a
few harsh words passing between them,
he suddenly and Unexpectedly sprang
upon him, and being much the most
powerful 4 got him down and i'm
inediately bit his nose of, either swal-
lowing it or diSposing Of 1t so that
it could not be found. Dram went
to DIR. Green's office, where DIR. Conn
dressed the horrible-looking wound.
The whole end Of the o $ below the
bridge Is gone, disfiguring him for life.
The brute who perpetratea this revolt
ing crime had not been arrested this
morning, although a warrant was out
after him.
DOMESTIC Row.-Ed. Bryan, who
with his wife keeps clearinghouse
In lower Gold Hill, had n quarrel with
his better-half last evening, which in
duced him to 90 off and get drunk.
lie came home about three o'clock this
morning and proceeded to get yen on
her by giving her a thrashing, and
then trying to set the house On fire. "A
boarder interfered and stopped him,
and a messenger brought officers Har-
kin and Jones. When the officers ar
rived Bryan had fortified himself inside
the house by locking the doors, and on
their forcing their way In, he ran out,
but u shot or so fired after him caused
him to stop. They took him along,
and he had a hearing this afternoon be-
fore Justice Putnam, and was fined
$40.
A CHANCE FOR THE BESEvoLENr.-
We are informed from good authority
that two ladies' living in a small house
on South B street, Virginia-No. 100,
we think-opposite the Gould s. Curry
dump, are in 4 very destitute condi-
ton. The youngest lady Is deserted
by her husband and has an infant about
two weeks old. She Is confined to her
bed, very sick, and Is attended upon
by the elder lady. They have sold
everything they could, ven to a po:.
ton of their bedding, in order to pro-
cure the neceSSaries Of like, and are
really in great need of assistance.
Here now Is a most worthy object, and
n very eligible opportunity for our
benevolent societies and others char
itably disposed to do n good deed.
Woop srEALER CONES TO GRIEr.-
Early this morning a night ~watchman
on the Virginia and Truckee Railroad
caught George Rcdfearn in the act of
helping himself to wood from n pile
mt the east end Of the Fort Homestead
tunnel. The wood belonged to Thos.
Gallagher, and was nea the track with
a large lot belonging to the railroad
company. Being taken before Justice
Putnam, Redfearn pleaded guilty, and
was fined $40. In default Of this
amount he was senc to the County Jail
for ten days. The Railroad Company
has lost Il vast amount Of wood In this
F.. manner during the last year or two,
and this culprit being caught In the
act and brought to grief may operate
as a warning to others.
SuMMNRY.-Frank Pagan had objec-

Simon Hayes and wife, occupying a
house belonging to him at the upper
end Of town, so yesterday afternoon,

to have him arrested, and while they
were gone Pagan captured all the
doors and windows, and took them

n man ard wife those cold nights.

of assault and battery, and Justice
Putnam, this afternoon, fined him $40
