WATER.-The necessity of taking
immediate steps to bring water int
Carson is becoming the all-engrossint
topic with our farmers. A party o
gentlemen who are largely interested
in agricultural matters, have made
survey of the surrounding hills, and
posted themselves as to the use and
the abuse of the water by fiume own,
ers. They find that the water hereto
fore running through our town has
not only been diverted from its proper
course for f1uming purposes. but that
a large mou of such water. by be-
ing so diverted. is lost entirely. and is
of no use to any party interested

THE CIRCUs.-To-m morrow the circus
will revisit our town. AS has before
been noted, Mr.. Lee has engaged to
give a performance in aid of the public
school of this city. So laudable an
act should be duly appreciated by this
people. and all should turn out and
give their dollar. We have a public
school which will compare, in point of
~capability OF teachers and scholars,
very favorahly with any in the State.
The school buildings are a disgrace to
any civilized community. and now
that an opportunity is offered by the
kindness OF Mr.. Lee, to create a nucleus
for Building fund, it becomes i'm
Perative on al to give their dollar
freely. Aside from the object for
which the performance will be given,
the merits of The Atlantic & Pacific
Circustroupe should secure it a crowd
ed tent. Go one, 90 all, and visit the
tented field, and witness such equeS-
trian and acrobatic feats As yon never
did before and probably never Will
again.

THE ORFHANs.-George Fryer, who
has the management of the circus ben
eft, on Monday night. for the benefit
of the pdblic schools of Carson, has
extended an invitation to the orphan
children to visit the performance on
that evening free of charge. This is
well; the poor little things should
have all the innocent amusement pos
sible. Fryer reminds us of the old
adage: '.The Devil is not SO black as

DEATH OF HoRsES.-Gen. Thomas

valuable carriage horses, by turning
them into a field of clover. while so
journing at Lake Bigler. The horses
surfeited themselves with the rich
feed, not being accustomed to the like,
and were found dead. They are a
great loss to the General, and it will
be difficult to replace them. They
were well matched, fast, and perhaps
the finest team in the State.
REPAIRfSG STREETs.-The refuse
rock from the Capitol building is be

streets, and a very good move it is.

GONE FOR A HoLIDAY.-Our young
friend j. L. Dealy, who assists George
Gibson in dispensing the waters of life
to thirsty Christians, has gone for a
pleasure trip to Reno and Bonner
Lake. Young George Gibson, usually
genial and happy, is fast becoming
morose and ugly, from confinement to
the house, and unless soon relieved
