A vsRx,cuIAa THoaoueHrAnE.-It

they followed the pack trail till the
wagon road was begun, when they
took after that and followed 1t through
It's sinuosities. The result Is that Main
street Is about as crooked as any street
ever seen In or out Of Boston. Louis
Napoleon Ia said to have Strengthened
out the streets Of Paris In order that he
might the more readily sweep them
with grape in case Of q rebellion ; such
a thoroughfare as u Main street
would certainly have given him the
nightmare. About all that can be said
in favor Of our meanderlng highway Is
that 1t Is somewhat picturesque, and
more houses can be made to front upon
1t than could have found room had 1t
been made straight. Another advan-
tags Is, that In passing q building you
get a view Of all aides Of 1t. The good
book speaks of q time when the
"crooked shall be made straight" and
doubtless when that time comes we
shall be- set to rights In Gold Hill.
However, our people have become so
used to our crooked highway that 1t Is
doubtful If they would have it straight
ened ever though 1t could be done for
nothing-they would feel all out Of
doors, as it were.
DECREE OF REBExAH INSTALLATION.
At a meeting of Coliax Degree of Re-
bekah Lodge No. l, l. o. o. F.. held
at their hall, B street, Virginia, last
evening, the following named officers
were duly installed into their respec-
tive chairs by d. ID. Grand Master Geo.
Henning: w. II. Virden, n. G.; Mrs.
NJ. Collins, v. c.; Mrs. c. n. Holland,
X. S.; Mrs. Mary l.. Saeltzer, 2. s.;
and Mrs. J. w. Wilson, Treasurer.
The reports OF the several officers for
the term ending December 81, 1872,
show not only that the Lodge Is IN q
highly prosperous condition, but that
| the members are live and active work.
ers In the cause Of Friendship, Love
and Truth. During the past term,
besides the necessary expenses, over
s375 have been disbursed BY the Lodge
for benefits and other charitable pur-
poses, and $625 invested in the stock OF
the Odd Fellows Building Association,
to assist In the erection Of a new hall,
leaving a balance OF 1900 in the hands
of the Treasurer.
Nor GUnTY.-Dr. Brennan, who was
arrested day before yesterday for
''booting" a man who walked up to
him and, without p%rovocatlon, struck
him In the breast, had n hearing In
Judge MARBLES Court yesterday after
noon. The doctor was his own lawyer,
and a tirst-rate n he proved to be.
Those who heard him say that IN case
he should give up lecturing and turn
his attention to law he would prove a
success. He waltzed into some OF the
lawyers and witnesses In q way that
almost made their heads swim. The
Jury, after a few minutes consultation,
pronounced the doctor not guilty. The
whole affair IL described Us ''better
than a circus" a. some Of the wit
nesses were so drunk that 1t took the
whole police force to keep their
mouths shut for half q minute at 4
time, even when off the stand, and one
or two had to be marched out OF doors.
LrvELY.-Things look quite lively
about the railroad depot in this town
at present. Trains are constantly ar
irving and departing and locomo-
tives are to be seen "backing and fill-
ing at all times in q manner incom-
prehensible to the unlnitiated observer
who sees what appears to be a success
but who at the same time cannot help
secretly wondering what 1t Is all about.
1t all helps to give life to the town,
however. With the two new locomo-
tives and all the rolling stock they
can raise, the company are hardly able
to do the business required to be done
over the road.

GRAND BALL OF THE RED MEN,
Pocahontas Lodge No. 2, Improved
Order of Red Men, contemplate giving
a grand ball In Virginia the 18th of
next month. 1t will be an invitation
ball, and the supper and all else will
be free. The braves Of Carson and
Reno will be invited, and a high old
time Is anticipated on the OCCASION OF
the fandsngo. An invitation has been
sent to Spotted Tall, but 1t Is doubtful
If he will be present, as he Is probably
engaged in scalping such members OF
the Improved Red Men as he can eaten.
AuRoRA.-A gentleman just in from
Aurora informs US that they are enjoy
ing very mild weather in that region
this winter. Last winter at this time
they had fifteen feet of snow, now the
ground Is as bare as It Is in this vicinity.
The town Is very dull, but one or two
companies are doing very we'll. The
mines now being worked by the Gree
lev boys are probably paying better
than any others In the camp.

Mckay Brother. and four or five Others

sion called the Golden Eagle No. 2, &c
