stances. Through the herculean efforts
of the members of the company the
major portion Of the performances
were given. though under the most ad-
verse circumstances. The circus tent
was badly torn, and all the canvasmen
and teamSters were kept constantly
employed in holding on to the ropes,
and is was with the greatest difficulty
that the ten was kept from going over
the Divide. A large number of chill
dren were in attendance. Luckily no
accident occurred. To-day the CON-
pany departed for the lowlands, and
tonight they will exhibit In Silver
City, undis,urbed by old Boreas.
LEANING AccIpESr.-This forenoon,
while an immense load of wood was
being hauled down Main street, Gold
Hill, the iron shoe attached to the hind
wheel OF the wagon failed to do duty,
owing to the slippery condition of the
street. The driver OH reaching u point
n short distance below the News office,
finding that the wheel horses were
powerIess to hold back the heavy
weight pressing upon them, pulled his
team out to one side Of the street, and
in so doing the nigh forward wheel
collided with a hydrant, stopping the
team. The hydrant and also the wagon
tongue were pretty thoroughly de-
molished. The horses, however, were
u%niajured. Matt. Rask, the teamster.
several weeks ago came near losing Ills
life by an accident of n similar char.
acter.

ALWAYS ACcoMMopATING.-We were
at Carson a few days ago, and dropped
into the State Capitol building. We
were received kindly by our good
looking bachelor friend, Theodore
Hale, Deputy St1te Controller, for
merly of Gold Hill, and c%ourteouSly
conducted through the building. All
of the State officers rooms, the Libra
nv, Senate and Assembly chambers,
were fitted up in the neatest and most
elegant style. aud clearly indicated
that, whatever may have been the cost,
the parties intrusted with that duty
certainly acquitted themselves with
credit, and have reflected honor upon
the State. Many thanks, Theodore.
May VIC yet live to dance ut your we'd

OLp BonrAs on THE RAMPAGE
Last evening u violent wind storm pre-
vailed il this section, amounting
to 4 tornado. Everybody was
mad about it, but the wind kept on
blowing just the same. 1t spoiit all
the pleasure connected with the circus
entertainment, and consequently the
ladies' who made the toilsome journey
to Fort Homestead were in bad hunior,
being in constant apprehension Of dan.
GER from the falling Of the tent. Will
son grew mad on seeing the grievous
rents made In his canvas. The wind
kept up its lick pretty we'll to-day. It

Of q plentiful shower OF rain.

LOST HIS BooTs.-One Of the labor
ers in the employ Of the Circus Com
pany, after worshipping too freely at
the shrine of Bacchus, crawled Into a
hayloft of a stable In Gold Hill.
When he walked up this morning he
was unable to find his boots. We DO
not know of anyone Ia town mean
enough TO steala pair OF boots from q
drunken man. although a number were
seen crawling under the canvas last
evening.
WATER PEppI.ERs.-The itinerant
water dealers in Virginia City and
Gold Hill appear to be driving a flour
i.hjnr business. They have become
powerful, coadjuters OF the water COM
pany, who ut present are unable o
furnish an adequate supply OF fluiu
material.
