SHAKING DIcE.-In Virginia City,
rs here, at present, there Is q great
mania for railing. In places Of public
resort In that city may be seen printed
notices Of n rattle within a rattle, which
e that n person rallies not only
for the prize but also for the ticket to
be used In winning the prize. A few
nights ago an erratic Frenchman won
a gold watch worth 500, since which
time he has been looking for some one
to loan him sufficient money to defray
the expenses OF the rattle, for which
the watch is held for security. Night
before last a splendid Remington rifle,
put up at a rattle, was won by n mere
lad. The incipient nimrod departed
home In high glee over his successful
venture.
INTENDED BESEFrr.-The friends Of
Mrs. Catherine piudey, a widow lady,
living on South c street, Virginia, the
front of whose lodging house was torn
of during the heavy gale of wind on
Sunday evening last, intend giving a
social party to assist her In paying for
the necessary repairs to the building.
Mrs. Pindey Is quite poor, considera-
bly, In debt for her house, and Is strug-
Cling hard to get a living for herself
and three helpless children. Those who
give her n helping hand in this her
time of need, will have the satisfaction
Of having aided In a worthy charity.
Notice OF the entertainment will be
given In due time.
SNAIL BoILER.-Last night, at the
Pioneer Boiler Works, on the Divide,
we noticed an iron boiler, complete in
all Its appointments, but Of very d.
minutive dimensions. being only three
feet in length aud eighteen inches In
diameter. At first we imagined that
it was TO be used in the development
Of the unpretentious little mine oppo-
sltc the Fulton Foundry, called the
"Washoe," but we learned OH inquiry
that the boiler had been ordered for
use In connection with some bathing
establishment in Virginia.
DoIyG A FLoURIsHING BUsISE,s.-A
considerable amount Of criminal busl-
ness is being transacted in the Justices
Courts. Virginia City, at present.
Last night five d. DIS were locked up
In the calaboose Of that city. One Of
the offenders represented himself as
hailing from Gold Hill. If such be
tho case We trust that he will ask for
q change Of venue and have his case
tried In Judge wright's Court, belieV-
ing as we do that Il Is every ones duty
to ~patronize home institutions.
BEroaaEp.-At about 10 o'clock last
evening the fog commenced pouring
down into Virginia from the summit
of Mount Davidson in huge volumes,
and In an hour afterwards q street was
90 completely shrouded with vapor
that a person could with difficulty be
recognized across the street. The at
mosphore at the time was cold n
piercing. The hazy envelop which
surrounded the city was not lifted un-
iii the wee small hours"
EpIzoorrc IN CuURcHuL.-Senator
Hill received a letter, yesterday, from
his partner Grimes in Churchill. saying
that the horse disease has attacked all
oftheir working horses and that in con-
sequence all ranch work had to be
stopped with blowing and ditching
half finished. The disease has proved
fatal, however. in only n instance.
Horses running at large Oh b hills
have net been attacked by the disease.
So says the Appeal Of this morning.
VERY Much NEEDEp.-We are in
formed that at present the County
Hospital Is not provided with any
bathrooms. AS personal cleanliness
Is an important item in the preserva,
tion of health, rs well rs a powerful
auxiliary In effecting the restoration
of the sick, we trust that the Board OF
County Commissioners will see to 1t
that the hospital Is supplied with this
much needed convenience.
HEAVY WHEELLNG.-At present the
quartz teams plying between our
mine. and the mills at Silver and on
the Carson River are obliged to carry
a good deal Of dead weight In the
shape of mud, which adheres to the
wagon wheels. Yesterday we noticed
one wagon ~plsstered with mud to sneh
an extent that the spaces between the
spokes of the wheels were entirely
closed up.
DrrcnrSe.-To.day a gang OF men,
under charge OF Mr.. Sullivan, track
layer Of the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad, are engaged In cutting a
ditch on the south side Of the railroad
track, In the vicinity Of the Main street
crossing, for the purpose Of carrying
off the surplus water which has been
In the habit Of accommodating in that
locality.
FREIeHr.-The receipts Of freight at
the railroad depot, Gold Hill, since
yesterday, were as follows: Two car
loads Of merchandise. one Of machin-
cry for the Imperial-E Empire holssing
works, and nine Of coal.
