MIsTAKEN.-A few nights since
three of Ca prominent citizen:
were walking down m of the back
streets to the residence of one of the
parties, with a view no doubt to can.
yass political matters. After journey.
ing awhile they deserted a female
form Flooding along a little in advance,
but being to much engaged with their
own affairs took no nOtire of who il
was. When directly i'll front of the
house to which the men were going,
the female turned around and admin
istered a gentle rebuke TO the worthless
for following her, as h supposed
they were doing. One of them spoke
up saying he was mol following her, it
was '.that red beaded fellow" pointing
to the person alluded to. The female
went of in the dark and the gentlemen
entered the house laughing at the
Joke. 1t is needless to say hat the
n who spoke of not following the
female was the only one of the three
whose capillary ornament is auburn.
A HORSE BEr.-Mr. Newton, of Car
son Valley, yesterday, made a bet
with Smith 1ate of the Sazerac Saloon)
~ to the weight of a horse standing in
4 team in front Of Kitzmeyer's harness
store. Newton bet a horse against a
horse that the animal standing in the
team would not exceed in weight
eleven hundred pounds. The bet was
taken by Smith, the horse unhar-
messed and his weight found to be
twelve hundred and fifty pounds.
Newton lost his bet but did not like to
give up the horse. He made a pretty
good guess at the weight-only one
hundred and fifty pounds difference
not much in q horse.
BUILpISG.-A large numberofnew frame
buildings, avs the Virginia Enterprise =.
OF yesterday, are being erected between
c and d streets, between Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S and the Divide. Many of these
are large:and costly buildings and will
add not a little to the appearance of that
p art of the town. On several of the build
ings redwood lumber from California is
being used for siding, and the front will
form a grand display of fancy carpentry.
The high rents obtainable in all parts of
the city are a great incentive to building.
Great progress is being made on the Odd
Fellows Hall. and when completed it
Will be one of the finest in the city.
WHAT 1T WAS ABoUT.-We are in
formed, says the Enterprise, of yesterday,
by a Chinaman who speaks good English,
that the grand pow-wow in Chinatown
night before last was in honor OF their
'.god of the moon.- They have a day set
apart in the present month, and every
year when that day comes they ave a
grand jubilee. They also have a '.sun
god,- who has his day, and smaller gods
for some of the planets, etc, but these lat
ter are O with but few punches of
frecrackers, when their day comes round.
Political SPEAKING.-A Greeley
and Brown mass meeting will be held
in Empire City on Saturday evening
next. General Robert NJ. Clarke and
other eminent speakers will address
the people. No doubt there will be a
large attendance of the citizens OF
Ormsby county on that occasion, as it
is well known by all that General
Clarke is one of the finest speakers in
be at Richey & Williamson's Hall in
the town above named.
PRoGREssING.-The erection of the

ing rapidly. Carpenters are working
ON the roof and in the inside of the
structure. Most of the rooms and
halls are already lathed, and As soon

will be a credit to the town, and a
great accommodation to the children
of our public school.
LIvELY.-Says the Virginia Enter
prise, of Yesterday. c street presented
a very lively appearance last evening",
the sidewalk being completely block
AIDED from Sutton avenue to a point far
of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S. The

much p~leasanter on the streets than, in
doors.

Of yesterday, has the annexed: A
constant stream of lumber teams daily
