THE SwINDLER HEss-PAss HIM ALONG
The Vienna Lady Orchestra fiasco reached a
conclusion yesterday by the acquittal of
Eisman who represented the company here,
incurred considerable bills for advertising,
printing, rent of theatre, board and
transportation, sold nearly $100 worth of tick
cts and departed. The troupe failed to put in
an appearance at the appointed time, Eisman
was posted as swlndler, arrested at Eastport
brought to this city, tried and acquitted. 1t
appears by his story, which has the sanction of
Jurys verdict that he is victim himself,
having been sent here to do the business by a
man named Hess who represented himself as
agent or manager of the troupe. Without 9TH
er defense than his own story, told in a simple
and straightforward way, and the able and eff
. ficient legal assistance of Col Bradbury, he
has been discharged by verdict, which, at the
same time, coEvcts Hess of consummate ras-
cality. This region will not be wholesome to
this accomplished Jeremy Diddler, but he may
attempt similar swindes elsewhere We hope the
journals generally will advertise him for the =
own protection and that of the public He pur-
ports to be agent for one or another entertain
ment as fancy or interest may dictate and is
very plausible and seductive AS for Door
Eisman, he has paid dear for his gullbllity,
and will probably require credentials of the
next man who asks him to do a lob of the
kind

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT HORROR.

Potomac and Fifty Lives Lost.


Potomac and Fifty Lives Lost.
The telegraph announces the destruc-
ton by fire, at noon on Friday, of the
steamer Wawassett, plying between
Washington and Curriman, on the
Potomac river, off Chatalon Landing,
and the consequent loss of between
forty and fifty lives. The fire broke
out in the held, spreading so rapidly
that in very short time the
entire steamer was enveloped in
flames. The steamer was imme
diately headed for the shore, about n
third of a mile distant. and soon ran
aground 200 yards from the Virginia
shore. The passengers seem to have
become panic stricken, for they are
said to have leaped into the water from
all parts of the boat to escape the
flames, without first providing them.

there is said to have been a full supply
on board. The victims of this terrible
disasterare mainly women and children

tween Washington and landings along

Baby Spring is growing fast
Into maiden beauty.
Summers sweetness will not last
Autumn, ripe and fruity,
Dies in Winters freezing blast
As love chills to duty.
Love the baby, sweet, sweet Spring;
Pet her, kiss her, WOO her;
Summers larger graces bring
Larger homage to her;
And ripe Autumn, proud, doth fling
Bounties richer, never.

How he fingers, day by day,
Wearing, weary Winter!

STATE NEWS.

OF the roads leading to and from
Eureka, the Sentinel saws:
The stage from Palisade yester-
Ia, was several hours behind time.
No heavy teams have reached this
place since the commencement OF
The late storm, two weeks ago. The
roads are in terrible state, and the
stage -drivers (patient souls) don
condemn their horses bit. They
only objurgate at the roads.
The promising condition OF the
Mazeppa Mine is thus stated by the
Phoebe Record of the 8th,-which
nv the way, is the latest number OF
that paper that we have received
owing to bad roads, probably:
Within the past few days one OF
the most important strikes in this
camp was made in this mine. Al
the depth of 100 feet, connecting the
new works with the old shaft the
ledge has been struck, and stopping
has been commenced. The ore body
varies in thickness from twenty to
thirty inches and is of the finest
quality, assaying from $4,000 to
81. 900 per ton. Mr.. Caldwell, the
Efficient Superintendent. is pushing
he work vigorously ahead, and will
soon be sending large quantities OF
ore to the surface. The ore is being
| sacked under ground-owing to its
GREAT richness. and attendant waste
when handled loosely. The mine has
improved - depth has been attained ,
ma but E:sle doubt exists that it Is
| a paFs Of. the great body OF ore that
cuts through the mountain from
Panaca Flat. Hosting works are on
the way from TosnO. and before many
weeks this mine wilt mfd materially
to. our bullion Shipments The
title is one of the Oldest and most
perfect in the camp, and we have
never heard even q $ shadow cast
upon it. i
The Reese River Repiele of the
10th tells the following:
The stage from Belmont did not
put in an appearances until 1O:45
o'clock last night. It appears that
he driver, Bill Maxton. descended
to fix the check reins. and the horses
took the opportunity to do . little
travelling on their own account. The
team turned round and went back to
