A BIr OF AN ADvESTURE.-Yester-
day morning about 3 o'clock, while
DIR. Brennan, the well-known lecturer,
was standing in Daley's saloon. n man
badly afflicted with the Bourbon cpl
zoo,ic and .'thirsting for the fray"
came in, and thinking the Doctor a
good subject on which to open his bat
teries, struck him in the breast. The
Doctor sailed in and booted the fellow
out of the saloon, putting the Mansard
on the basement. AS the attack on the
Doctor was most unprovoked, and as
what he did In the boot line wa In self
defense. lie thinks 1t somewhat sun
right" that he should have been arrest
ed for assault and battery, while the
man who committed the assault was
allowed to wend his way to where the
"woodbine twineth" or to some other
peaceful retreat. When the matter is
inquired into by the proper authorities
we doubt not the Doctor will be justly
dealt with.
ANOTHER C. p. LoCoMorIvE.-A
second locomotive from tho Central
Pacific Railroad. for use Oh the Vir-
GINA and Truckee Railroad, came up
this morning. II is called the GA
ze,le :" the first n that arrived wa
the bald Eagle" A large number
of Central Pacific freight cars are also
10 be seen about the depots In this
Town and Virginia. Great activity
prevails on the road at the present
time, and with all the locomotives M
cars at their command the company
are hardly able to do the business re-
quired to be done.
FIRST HooDLUMs. - Spudder, who
has a genius for delving down after
the foundation OF things, says that tho

account were those who followed after
the prophet Elijah crying out 60

the Hoodlum element so eifeetually
that little has been seen Of 1t until the

STEAMBOAT SpRINGs.-These famous
hot springs are said to be exceedingly
active ut present. These calm. clear,
frosty mornings they present a mag
niticent appearance. From NIFTY 10
eighty great white columns OF vapor

nearly one hundred feet through the
still air. Steam enough goes to waste
there every day to run all the mills In
the country, If it could only be util'
lied.
IcE.-Our ice men will gather but a
small crop from their ponds In thi'
vicinity this Winter, judging from
present appearances. Our supply for
next summer must come from the 81
ezra Nevada mountains. The Ice IRON
the mountains is much more pure aiio
wholesome than that cut In the pohus
here 50. after all. We may be gamer:
Nv the failure of the home Ice crop.
