ElS NaS
Soon after the Ruby Hill stage ar
rived down OH Its second trip yester-
day morning. the driver pulled mp in
front Of Seaton & Clark's store. to nj
low a lady passenger and her little
child to allght from the coach, and just
as he was about to assist them out the
horses took fright and started to run.
The driver, Mr.. Eldried. clutched the
reins instantly. and hung to them he
roically until another gentleman took
hold with him, the I'VE having been
dragged upon their feet the distances
OF n block. Even this check would
not have prevented n serious runaway.
and the team was not stopped until
bystanders, seeing the perllous predic.
ament Of the woman and child. rushed
into the street and caught the fiery
mustangs by the bit, at the hazard OF
being themselves Injured by the runa-
way team. 1t Is worthy Of remark
that the woman maintained the great
est composurc during the exciting mo.
ments Of the imminent danger that
faced her. and did not, as Is common
with females ON such occasions, add 10
the fright Of the animals by nervous
screams aud useless cries for help. In
fact. her conduct was quite nh anom-
ally In feminine nature.
Geo. Dobbs. the nan who. 1t will be
remembered. received what were sup
posed fatal injuries by a fall Of over a
hundred feet In the Eureka Consoli-
dated shaft, Il so far recovered from
his Injuries that he Is able to 90 about,
and Yesterday came down from Ruby
Hill. to visit some friends. His pow
ers OF locomotion are not yet fully re-
covered. and he Is able to walk only
by the assistance OF another. The
stump Of the right arm. which was am-
putated, Is entirely healed, and he Is
gradually regaining the use Of the LEFT
arm. which at one time 1t was thought
almost beyond medical or surgical skill
to save. His recovery from such a null
tiplicity OF serious injuries Is really
wonderful.

for the Hoosac, 81, 900 pounds Of bull.
ion and for the Richmond $4,000
pounds. Total, l6l.0O0 pounds.

Peavine.

or this District, about which there is
just nov some little excitement, the
Reno Journal Of yesterday says:
The discovery Of the new and rich
mines In the Peavlne District continue
to attract large crowds to them daily.
Two stage lines are now running to
the mines and are loaded every trip.
The ledge In the Paymaster mine Is at
least twenty feet wide, and the rock Is
improving In quality. Very fine rock
Is being taken out. 1t Is thought 1t
will mill 5000 or $500 per ton. The
hills In the vicinity are alive with
prospectors. Within the past few
days men from Virginia, Sacramento
and San Francisco have been on the
ground. and express themselves highly
pleased with the general appearance
Of things. Forty dollars a foot IL Of
fered for Paymaster, with no sellers.
The quartz mill Is being constructed
with as much rapldity as possible, and
new buildings are being put up In
numbers. All In all, Peavine, from
present appearances, will soon be the
liveliest camp In Nevada. We shall
shortly visit the new district and give
a full and truthful account Of our OBJ
servatious.

Reese River Items.

From the Reyeille, october ~
We were visited to-day by Price, the
hcrder on Blrcham's ranch, who was
recently examined by a medical conf
mission In reference to his sanity. He
Is perfectly sane and rational on all
subjects but the n Of religion. The
loss of his wife and two children some
time ago seems to have preyed upon
his mind to such an extent as to I'M
settle 1t. He fancies that he Is In con-
slant communion with the Almighty
and his dead family and that 1t Is his
mission to 20 forth and save sinners.
He appears to be perfectly harmless
and expresses a great horror at the
thought Of being sent to Stockton. 1t
Is to be feared. however, that he may
feel himself called to go into the bills
and may there perish. He promised
to return to Bircham's ranch, but we
are afraid he will not stay there. 1t
seems Q pity to send the poor fellow
to the Insane Asylum, but something
should be done to care for him so that
he may not injure himself.
We have received from Hon. A. II.
Greenalgh, Of Smoky Valley, a cl,-
rious growth. being a potato repro
duced BY Itself. The new potato still
clings to Its parent, but has absorbed
all its substance. leaving little but the
skin. Such growths may be common
for all we know to the contrary ; but
this Is the first instance OF the kind
which aver came under our notice.
A nine year old specimen Of the
male sex Of humanity walked into
the Austin Baths to-day. and request
ed to have his hair cut. "Cut 1t short"
says he, ~ always get bilious when
my hair is long"

BrsMARcx's letter, denying that any
interview ever occurred between him
and the New York World correspon-
dent, has now been published at length.
As the fact that the Prince wrote the
letter at all seem, to indicate = desire
not to be mlsreprescnted to the Amer
lean people. we print it in full. 1t
reads as follows:
vARzIS, August u, 1873.
Dr. d. Bendan, Dresden: / have re-
ceived your communication, and owe
you many thanks. So many lies are
circulated about me, that I am not as
tonished even at this shameless inven-
ton. l don't know whether there are
people stupid enough to believe such
stories; but 1t Is certain that I never
had any conversation Of such a char
acter rs Is reported in tho World with
anybody. Hence, not even a misun-
Outstanding can DO assigned as al ex-
cuse for the lie.
1t seems to me, however, that the
expression In that report Ito crush
Rome, In order to crush Christianity"
clearly enough indicates the source
and object Of the report. =
No one In Germany has doubted that
my convictions and belief are the very
opposite OF what that fable has put
into my mouth and in America like
wise, l suppose, people will know that
anyone, wicked enough 70 think so,
would nevertheless be scarcely stupid
