CARSON ITENs.-We condense tie
following from the Carson Register OF
this morning: The wild man who at
tempted to beat faro with a Ratchet,
night before last, was brought before
Judge Parkinson yesterday, on a charge
of attempt to commit larceny, and
gave his name rs James Mack. He
was found guilty and fined $50 and
costs, and in default of payment was
Sent to the County Jail to board it
out. &c. Tive honorable Senators from
"outside counties" were playing bill
lizards In this city n few evenings since,
when one Of them remarked to n by
SlsltlNCl q. AOu 4 Jou nio" ehhS O"s
in our county they wouldn't dump
quartz upon such a billiard table As
this, and that they wouldn't whack
bulls with such cues ~. About one
hundred persons were present at the
foot-race yesterday. The Offering was
two to one OH Johnson, but no bets
were taken, and Scott got away with
the ring money 49,. Miss Price, who has
been delighting the denizens Of Nir-
ginia with her fine acting during the
past two weeks, will probably appear
in Carson next week, in "Fanchon :"
and other favorite characters. -. We
learn that Mrs. Laura De Force Cor
don has returned to California from the
East, and will shortly visit Carson
City.
IS PRIsoN, PERcIASCE TO HANG;
AYE, THERE'S THE RUB!-The three
car robbers-Taylor, Baker and Nor
ton-of whom we made mention yes
tenrday, arrived at the State Prison, in
charge of Sheriff Ben Fitch, Of Elko,
Yesterday morning, and are now safely
incarcerated within those massive
walls. The prisoners are each SELL
fenced to thirty years. The Register
Is strongly inclined to the opinion that
after serving out this long sentence in
prison, they will then be hung, in ac-
cordance with the law making robbery
of the United States mail by force Of
arms punishable with death, and ad-
vanceS a lengthy and logical argument
In support OF the proposition, winding
ND as follows: 1.-The prisoners them
selves hut Of course their wishes will
not be consulted in the natter say
they don't mind the little old thirty
years conference.-the the hanging
afterward that's nearly h-ll;" which
latter Is a very applicable expression.
This matter also involves q question
for humanitarians Is it better to
hang and then DO imprisoned for thirty
years, or to be imprisoned for thirty
years and then be hanged?"
PLuMMER's ENTERTAINMENT. Pro
fessor Plummer's readings tomorrow
evening, at Miners Union Hall, will
be the most interesting entertainment
Of the kind our citizens of Gold Hill
have experienced for a long time.
Plummer Is q perfect master Of elocu-
ton, and his readings and recitations,
humorous, pathetic, sentimental and
otherwise, are all gems Of literary de-
lineation. He has n fine. thoroughly
trained voice, and n wealth Of facial
expression, combined with n genial
soul, which glows forth with exquisite
effect, and to the infallible delight of
of his audience. One never tires OF
listening to him. His limitations Of
Mark Twain and other public charac-
tiers, rs well rs his delineations Of pc
culiar individuals, stamp him as chief
of all Evolutionary humoriStS. Go n
hear Plummer, by all means.
CHANGE OF TIME.-As will be seen
by reference to advertisement in an
other column, the time table Of pas
senger trains OH the Central Pacific
railroad Is slightly changed, arriving
at Sacramento from san Francisco at
2P. N. instead Of l:50, though leaving
San Francisco at the same time rs here
tofore, and the M%arysville train will
leave at 2:l0, and that for the East at
2:20. The train which used to arrive
ut $50 r. NJ. will get in ut $3.50. The
freight train which has hitherto left
Sacramento for San Francisco ut 5 A. NJ.

CASE DfsMssED.-We learn through
the Carson Register that in the District
Court, washoe City, the jury was I'LL
able to agree upon a verdict in the case
of the State of Nevada vs.. Cookies. and
that the case was dismissed. The de-
PENDANT being n woman and the wife
of J.. F. Cookies, Esq, was charged with
throwing vitriol into the face of Miss
MCGEE. The enormity of the crime
and the standing of the parties gave
the case an unusual interest in WaShoe
county, where the parties are known.

menced day before yesterday, and the
