sNh1NkN As@tA
lowing from the Register of this MORN
ing: We are assured that "that case
of smallpox" did actually exist In
this city, but that the parents of the
afflicted child, who were here on n
visit, left In the afternoon Of the sec
ond day after the disease became well
defined. The United States District
Court for the District OF Nevada will
convene In this city on the first Mon-
day In February; and the Cnited
States Circuit Court for this Ninth
JudiciaD District will meet At the same

State vs.. Tim. O'Flaherty was argued
and submitted, aud yesterday the
Rhodes bond , case was argued and
submitted. when the Court adjourned
until 10 o'clock this forenoon.
DULL.-Since the general clearing
out of villains and bad characters at
Virginia the police business has be-
come monotonouSly dull in that city.
In fact, there is precious little money
in the Office Of either Justice Of tho
Pence or policeman under the present
state of affairs. At the meeting Of the
Board Of Aldermen last evening j. b.
Hill, Justice Of the Peace, reported
having paid into the City Treasury the
SUN of 50 for fines collected for the
month Of November and S. for the
month of December. Such heavy con-
tributions will not get the city out OF
debt very soon.

Company. No. 4, at Virginia, held

Leap Year ball, to be given by the
Young Ladies' Social Society, at Lib
erty Engine Hall, tomorrow evening.
Ali will bear In mind that IL Is not an
invitation ball. The advertisement in

dollar" Wonder how many matches
will be made by this ball.
GRANDCuARIrABL.g ENTERTAINMENT.
On the night OF February Sth a grand
public entertainment will be given ut

may be raised to r~eplenish the depleted
treasury. In due time full particu-
lars in regard to the affair will be
given.

Father Grace, formerly Of Carson, Will
