meal. About noon Town Marshal
Harkln took the woman In a job wagon
down to the station house, and this
morning she was fined $50 for disturb
ing the peace-abuslng her neighbors,
calling them bad names, etc. In de.
fault She was sent to the County jail
for a short time. The husband was
discharged from the calaboose on con-
dition that he 60 to work and earn
something to support his family. The
infant Mr.. Harkin gave to the kindly
charge of q lady residing at the lower
end Of town, who offered to take care
of it. Any expense In the matter Is
paid by Mr.. Harkin out Of his own
pocket, there being no town fund or
other provision made for such cases.
This Is not as it should be. The whole
matter, however. simply sums up to
| this: The boy Is a smart, Intelligent
lad, and we hope will be given en-
ployment BY some N able to do so,
and the little child should be perman-
emily given to the charge Of better
people than It's parents. As for the
parents, they are subjects for benevo-
lent homo missionary institutions. As
long as even q single case Of such
degradation exists In this community
no missionaries need be sent TO the
Feejee Islands ; there is a better chance
for operating at home, where true
charity always begins.
PrrEn's OrERA HOUSE - "OTHEL-
Notwithstanding the attractions
of the well-attended ball of Eagle En-
CINE Co. No. 8, last evening, there was
not a very great decrease perceptible
in the audience at the Opera House.
Shakespeare's great tragedy Of Othello
was we'll presented, and enacted In
most excellent style. Mr.. James Car
den appeared rs the easily humbugged,
Jealous, assassinating Moor, and enact
ed the character in a highly meritori-
Gus manner. His dress and general
makeup was additionally correct, and
his face and manner sufficiently hate
full to inspire the sweet Desdemona or
any other lady with anything but love
or natural attraction toward him. MIR.
McCullough's Iago was q capital I'm
personation, somewhat peculiar IN
some respects, but very good Indeed.
Ellie Wilton, rs the sweet, gentle n
| decidedly unfortunate Desdemona, fill
ed the character to a nicely, and Mr..
Chapman did admirably as lagos un-
compromising, p~lain-spoken wife, Emil
lia. The other characters In the cast
were generally we'll given. This even
ing will be given Tom Taylor's beau
tiful and popular three act comedy OF
"Still Waters Run Deep" In which
Mr.. Mccullough appears in his great
speciality Of Jolh Mildmay, with Mr..
Garden as Capt. Hawksley, and a Ju-
| diclous cast of the other characters.
The entertainment will conclude with
the extremely amusing little comedy
of "Cool as a Cucumber" In which
Mr.. Owen Marlowe will personate the
| imperturbable Plumper, which Is Mr..
Marlowe's speciality. This bill Is n
Of the best OF the season, and calls for
a crowded house.
DEMoRAL1zED.-The lower end Of
Gold Canyon, between Silver City and
Dayton, was formerly one of the bust
est localities in the county for milling,
tailings and sulphurst saving, ETC.,
employing q large number Of men.
During the last year or two, how
ever, this business has totally or
nearly all failed. Only two mills, the
Excelsior and the ATLANTA, are run
ming; all the rest are quiet and going
to ruin, and where formerly every
inch Of the canyon, from the Nevada
1 D.,.l.r lNu-n into nnpfnn NvQC
occupied by q continual string Of
blanket sluices and apparatus tor the
saving of sulphurets and tailings,
nothing Of the kind now remains. The
bed Of the canyon Is dry, and that
part of the canyon Is almost entirely
deserted. The reason Of this is the
long flume which has been constructed
leading from just below the Bacon
mill across the fiat country to the
right or south of the canyon to
| Ophir Flat, on the Carson river,
conveying all the water and tailings
of the canyonito that point. The con-
sequence Is that Silver City and Day
ton both are made to seriously feel
this taking away Of steady and profit
able employment for so many men be-
tween the two places, to say nothing
of the supplies In the way Of provisions,
lumber and other things required by
them.
The BM.L.-The ball given BY
Eagle Engine Co. No. 8, Virginia. at
Armory Hall, B street, was a very
social and agreeable affair. 1t was
very we'll attended, too, and the only
drawback we could see to the enjoy
ment of the occasion was that there
was not ladies enough for the number
of gentlemen. The hall was very ap-
propriately and tastefully trimmed,
the music firstrate, and everybody had
a good time. We congratulate the
members Of that excellent company
upon their success.
