THE SHOOTING AFFRAY.-Ihe ac-

shooting affrav on Tuesday morning
last. between W. II. Pierce and the
keeper of the Virginia saloon, on
North Carson street, it is claimed, was
incorrect, in part. Since pennlng the
article indicated, we have taken some
pains to learn both sides OF tie story,
and we confess that they dliier very
materially. Inasmuch as the wounded
man will, in a few days, be able 10 DE
brought into a Court OF JUSTICE, "heh
all the facts will be elected, we re-
frain from making further mention of
the difficulty, further than that there
was no design on our part to do in
juttice to either party.
THEArER SALooN.-This popular
saloon, the oldest established u IN
the CITY. is still doing a good business,
being run by the original proprietors;
Moore & Parker. Attention Is calleo
to their choice brands OF wines, liquors
and cigars. Chase's 'Prenium Old
Rourbon." ..Club House Favorite,'
and other choice liquors are kept con-
stantly on hand, purchased from the
original importers. Frank Hall at
tands to the wants of h customers
of the house in his usual polite man
nor. wearing a smile the while 'child-
like and bland.'' Read their adver-
tisement.
BALL To-NIGHr.-The grand ball OF
the season takes place this evening, at
the Lake House, kept by Tom Row
land, Lake Valley. The steamer
Governor Blasdel will start from lie
brook at 4 o'clock precisely, for the &C
commodatiou of passengers
to participate in the merry dance"
Rowland's house being tuate at the
head of the lake, a grand view IS
afforded to see the placid waters IN all
their beauty. This will probably be
the last ball of the season, in Lake
Valley; and, if Tom fails to make the
occasion an enjoyable affair, there's no
use anyone e~lsetryIng.
L. s. BRANCH MINT.-The Carson
City Mint received yesterday li,s4s
ounces of gold and silver from the
Comstock lode, for refining and assay.
1882 ounces of impaired bars of gold

delivered daily. and stone cutters are
busilv engaged putting it in order to
Law a pavement in front of the Mint.
The sidewalk when down will be a
great Improvement to the Mint front,
as we'll as to our great broadway,
called Carson street. The sidewalk
will not be laid with solid granite en-
tire; the inside part, three feet IN, Will
be laid with sand stone rock; from
that out, granite will be put down to
the sandstone curbing on the east.
RErURSED.-Master Johnny Gregg,
who has been attending school in
Chicago something over a year, re-
turned t o Carson yesterday morning.
He has improved somewhat in size
and appearance since his departure.
and looks as though life in the States
suited his disposition and tastes.
Having been in Chicago during the
time of the great fire, he can, no doubt,
relate some thrilling scenes concern
ing that catastrophe.

NEW HAY.-The hay crop of this
season has nearly all been gathered in,
and is beginning to arrive in town from
the farms of Carson Valley. This ar
ticle has been extensively cultivated
this season, but the high waters of
Carson river damaged the hay crop to
a considerable extent and 1t is thought
hay will demand a high price the com
ing Winter.

return from Lake Bigler, where he
has beer %soiourning for a few days
past, shifting the breezes from that
