Washoe Valley than in the vicinity Of
Carson. In the former place potato,
melon and tomato vines, it is reported,

Fun AMONG THE BoYs.-Out of all
that betting and talking among the fire.
men, yesterday morning. there came q
little taking of gin and very much hilar-
ity in the afternoon. Lewis & Thoring-
toms became just such scene as those,
who know how it is themselves, can i'm
imagine. Engine gas escaped, after the
same old story had been told for the
hundredth time; and then the Bacchan-
alians wanted another outlet for their
hilarity, which they picked up pretty
soon in the form of gas pipe from Den
yer. He is one of the Colorado boys
and jumps up in hemispheres as he
walks. Watch him travel around bill
lard table, as he did yesterday, and he
seems to be still singing hash under a
mountain of plates. He is little chap
{not as big as the undersigned) bat is
much grown since he left home. In
Carson he is whole circus in himself
or rather was, yesterday, before he rub
bed noses across the counter with Harry
Zimmerman and bet on his own billiard
playing against that smooth 'Eph"
and Hamlet looking Duncan. He'll
so on playing the clown as long as
lie keeps drunk land has money!: and
so long as he keeps up his lick as fool
he'll find plenty to beat him out of his
remaining greenhacks, and to toot tin
horns over his biIiardship.

GENOA GAMEs-Our neighbors, in the
ancient Mormon town of Genoa, have
much leisure time nowalaysto entertain
strangers in their numerous hospitable
saloons. They have what they call
"Piute, a musgins poker game, during
the progress Of which they all watch
tie draw OF the unsuspecting wayfarer
and pretty soon one of the ring gets
| three pair and calls for the drinks on his
| (the wayfarer's) account. They have
besides, another trap for the unwary.
Ioa enter one OF these Lospitable places
of recreation where they take strangers
| in Numerous gentlemen Of leisure fol-
low your motions in good natured care
less sor, of way with their innocent eyes
and smile you sort Of Indifferent well
come. If you stay long enough for the
trick to begin to work, game OF cork
is suggested. The thing seems so far
you fail in (from the outside) and risk
your chancesof standing treat, along with
the rest Corls are set on the bar i'll a
line, q cork in front of each man, who is
instructed to grab it at given signal.
The man that makes the last grab, they
tell on, pays for the drinks and cigars.
You feel, of course, that in order to get
free drink you must be among the first
grabbers. When the signal comes, you
grab So violently that your shoulder will
be wrenched and ache Tor month, and
you raise your cork triumphant. The
rest just smile on, and don't grab az all
and that's the way you get stuck.
MARR1ED-In Biddeford, Maine, Aug.
q, Lyman A. Frisbie to Miss Nellie L.
Dow. Such was the information re-
ceived by letter, yesterday, in the shape
of wedding cards from our young friend
L. A. f. After sojourn Of nearl Y two
years in the Land Of Steady Habits,
Lyman has found another willing to en-
bark with him on the troubled sea OF
matrimony, and share with him hfe's
sweets and sorrows in our sagebcush
State. The happy couple left Biddeford
for Nevada shortly after the nuptial
VOWS were contaminated. They will
LAY over for few days in Chicago
when they will resume their journey
and are expected to arrive in Carson
during the coming week. Lyman has
numerous friends in this section to well
come him back, to say nothing of the
"old man" and other members OF the |
Frisbie family.
JCsTIcE CoURT.-In the case of the
State vs. II. P. Burnham, charged with
a second and fraudulent selling of GER
tain property in Yellow Pine Mining
District, Lincoln county, before Judge
yesterday, the District Attor-
ney made a motion to dismiss the suit,
owing to the absence of and impossi-
bility of obtaining material witness
from California, and that the costs be
taxed to the prosecuting witness. The
latter part of the motion was resisted by
Ellis, associate counsel for the plaintiff,
and the prosecuting witness was sworn
n his own behalf His evidence showed
hat be was honest and not malicious in
he prosecution and consequently he was
lot required to pay the costs-and the
:ase was dismissed.

Lr.1LY BETTING.-Abe Curry and Gus
Lewis, champions, respectively, of the
Curry hand engine and the steamer
Little Giant, after considerable witty
sparring on either side, yesterday, and
having SO thoroughly aired the PROPOSE
ton that neither might have crawling
out place when the test of their pets
shall have been made, put up coin to the
amount of S4i0, divided between two
bets, the first which is $50 SIDE, on the
challenge OF Curry, that the Little Giant
will not throw water to the top of the
State House cupola-the trial to be
made on any day Lewis chooses between
now and next Saturday. The second
bet, $500 a side, in getting at the con-
ditions of which, a world of words was
spent is this: Whether the Curry engine
or Little Giant will throw the greater
distance horizontally, with one and two
streams; and perpendicularly with one
stream, to-day week, or if the weather is
bad, the next fair day afterwards.
Whichever way it may be decided, there
will, at any rate, be lots of fun and ex-
element the day of the experiment.
Every effort will he made to put the
Little ul2nt III lrTepIoacnitpie IIiu. NO
experience in the working of steamers,
no skill of engineers, will be wanted
that can put her on her best legs and
develop her utmost capacity. She will
come forth FURNISHED and aglow, and
alive for the fight. On the other hand,
the Currys have an engine of the first
order, towards which they cherish a
fondness unknown in depth and spirit to
outsiders who have not stood with them
about their machine, in their times Of
trial, languishing over the breaks,
scorched at the nozzle and shut in by
mingled flame and smoke on the roofs
of crumbling houses. They will come
out prepared like their antagonists.
They will have the fearful power of fire
and steam to fight against. They will
have all the strength of human muscle
to aid them, however; and as the maxi
mum throw is only to be nade-not sus-
tanned, they will have more show than
many are willing, now, to believe. |
Little fellows and light weights won't |
touch her; second class Heenans will |
man her brakes. Oh! the fun of that |
day!

During the conference one of the capital
lists, warm-souled gentleman was he, made
brief reference to the coming winter, and
dropped word of sympathy for the poor
who would have to combat its exceptional
rigors. " Jam 1--WE believe the word was

of the ex-capitalists, who thought himself
rather worse off than the poor.
