A YOUNG and fashionably attired
lady in i Boston street car was
overheard to cay, a few days ago,
that, cna recent visit to New
York, she went TO the TOmbs TO
see Stokes. She further vouch-
safed tho information, in tones
loud enough to odify all the peo-
pie in tho car, that, when repr0vcd
by her husband for such conduct,
she informed him that she "would
rather see Stokes than any other
living man." There seems to be
no place in New York more at
tractivc to a certain class ofyoung
ladies than the 'muidercr's row"
in the Tombs. Even Young school
girls, supposed by. their parents
and guardians to be deeply en-
crossed in the mysteries Of geom-
eiry or tho beauties Of botany,
manage to gnt time on their way
to and from school to "cali" at the
abode Of thieves and murdcrers
and gaze through the iron bars
npon the well clad and well.fcd
forms Of assassins. And this sort
Of morbid sentllnehtality is not
confined to the great metropolis.

TERRIBLE WIND STORM IN CARSON VAL
LEY.--We have noticed two singular
facts which we will note, here, before
we forget to mention the same. They
are these: That it is easier to get news
from Terra del Fuego than from Douglas
county. near as it is; and the other fact
is, than when we of Eagle Valley have
visitation of Washoe zephyrs they Of
Douglas catch it good deal worse than
we do. We won't attempt to guess the
the cause of this, further than to suggest
that it is upon like principle to that
which makes it safer to get close up to
the heels of a kicking horse than to stand
where he can get range for his heels.
Be this as it may, on Sunday night last,
Carson Valley was visited by the most
terrible wind-storm that has been known
there for many years. w. NJ. Cary, Esq,
who informed us of the facts detailed be-
low, says he settled in Douglas county in
1854, and that he never knew it to blow
there as it did on the night in question.
He details these damages, namely: His
own barn so by so feet was blown flat to
tho ground, and the roof was blown Oft
another large barn. A large barn be-
longing to Mr.. Cosser was also blown
down; and forty feet of the center of
Peter Vansickle's barn were blown down.
Besides this, miles of fence were pros
trated. No injuries to man or beast are
reported. Mr.. Cary estimates his own
eoses at $1,000, and thinks that the
damages done in the valley will amount
to quite considerable sum of money.
The wind blew very hard hereabout on
that night; but we had no suspicion of
its cutting up such pranks amongst our
near neighbors.

ONE NIGHT MORE. - The excellent
troupe which has given such high salts
faction to the playgoers of Carson in
their two performances here, have been
induced to remain to-day. for the pur-
pose of giving matinee this afternoon
repeating the programme of last night.
and of acting " Hazard" over again
this evening. We have witnessed the
performances of this company, and can
say heartily that they are most excellent
in their profession. We believe that
more admirable combination of talent
never appeared on our stage before.
Miss Clifford is a fascinating actress,
and sings with sweetness rarely pos
sessed. Barry is king in comedy any
where. Hussey, in his specialties, is al
most inimitable, while the general sup
port of the company renders the play
as entertaining all the way through as
ct any particular point. Make sure of
seats for these last entertainments, as this
combination will probably never appear
here again.
