HYERs SIsTERs.-These talented
singers gave a second concert at the
Carson Theater last evening, to an APP
ipreciative audience larger than that
which attended their first concert-the
strongest possible evidence that they
ARE artists of nc ordinary merit. Both
h first and second acts of LINDA di
,Chamounix' were loudly ~applauded;
the "Wandering Refugee duet by
the Hyers sisters was encored, as was
also Heart Bowed Down" from the
Bohemian Girl by Joseph Stokes lie
Count; "Happy Old Man"and"C ham-
payne Charley" by Miss Emma Hyers,
and-"See it's the Hour" by Miss Anne,
were we'll received; but the feature of
the evening was "MiSerera,' which
was most charmingly rendered.

is also State Printer of Nevada. re-

weather and the drying upof the prin-

HURDLES Al EMPIRE.-The hurdles
who for a long time have occupied the
building corner of Carson and Fifth

for many an item, have pulled up
stakes and removed to Empire City,
in which place they have leased a
house for six months, taking with

fine business capacity and unswerving
integrity, has been appointed Deputy
