PAT HURLEY AaAIN.-Pat Hurley
never has become fully resigned to his
position In the State Prison. He keeps
trying to get out, and a few months
ago, 1t will be recollected that he sue
ceeded in escaping through a hole he
made In the roof, but was recaptured
at Virginia and returned next day.
However, Il seems that Pat was not
totally discouraged, but Is willing to
avail himself Of any good chance to
get out Of his durance vile. Tho u
ION REGISTER Of this morning says: "A
day or two since there vas missing at
evening roll-call one Pat Hurley, a
quIck-wltted Irishman, sent up from
this county for five years from Octo-
Der II, 1870, for robbery. Pat Is ~
years Of age, a shoemaker by trade,
and, wishing to resume his outdoor ex-
erciseS, failed to appear ut roll-call.
During the day o blast had been put In
the eastern face Of the natural stone
wall which encloses the prison grounds,
the explosion Of which opened up a
small cavern In the quarry. In this
Pat had concealed himself, and some
of the prisoners had piled fragments
of the stone upon him until no part Of
him was left exposed except the nose.
Search was instituted, and one OF the
guard fred o shot at the pile Of stones
In which Pat was concealed, but he
moved not. At length a guard climbed
I'D among the loose rocks above Pat,
when q stone rolled nown and struck
the sepultured Milesian upon the pro-
boscis. A profane expression at once
revealed the whereabouts Of the miss
Ing prisoner"
ExPosED.-Our ~venerated friend
Bloggs, who lives this side Of the d.
vide, a few weeks ago concluded to
shave of his long-cherished goatee. 1t
was a nice, black, well-kept bit OF
whlsker, and Bloggs always looked
good with 1t, but evil ideas prevailed
and he had It moved off smooth. But
regrets directly ensued, and he wished
his old adornment back, so he has let
IL grow out again. This time, how
ever, It comes out gray and sandy,
anything but black, much to the sur
prise Of his lady acquaintances. One
,ofthem remarked the other day, "Wel

NEVADA Corn. p. II. Clayton,
says the Carson Register, has this sea-
son raised 100 bushels Of corn upon
one acre Of sagebrush land on his
ranch In Carson Valley, nine miles
from this city. We have seen a speci-
men ear Of the corn. 1t Is Of the red
flint variety. The a We examined
was l3x Inches In length, contained
~ rows of grain, with 10 grains to the
row, or 900 grains to the ear. Two

raised.
WAsHoE LAKE BRIDeE BURNED
The great light aud smoke perceived
from this section in the direction Of
Washoe Valley, last Monday evening,
proceeded not only from a big tire In
che tules about Washoe Lake, but also
from the destruction Of the famous
long bridge across the %northerly end
Of Che lake. The bridge wa about
1000 feet In length and cost originally
about SO, 900. The fire originated In
the dry tules, and some hundreds Of
acres Of the marshy lands bordering
upon the lake were thus burned over.
