.I,ny's SHOE.-oone s~"e ia"s
sax .young lady" because. properly
a.alipz a lady never grows old-by
'.,.te or oversight. left one of her
nr.r,boes at Browns Hall on Monday
srspins last. on the occasion OF the fes-
.;.., Given for the benefit of Rev. II. b.
w..hride. A lady's veil and cape were
40 nieksd up after the festival. and are
Lined at the hall. awaiting claimants.
pnt the pretty little shoe demands par
,;culsr notice. 1t was Of that diminu-
nv size which would remind one Of the
Glass slipper or golden shoe presented
- ,be fairy TO Cinderella. We are also
minded BY the incident We ess relating
70 The Days Of az in California. Il
Ems that among the throng who came
n'sr tbe plains to try their fortunes in
,hs new FL Dorado was . young man
W, nho after camping for the Winter, in
,ordine to try his luck Mt mining. one
Srndsy while overbauling his trunk to
,ssnrrect that swallov-tailed coat, plug
hot and billed shirt which had been
Dacked M with such care at home, he
rsme mon one Of his sisters clippers,
which by accident had been put into his
trupk. The hardy miners, on learning
that there was lady's slipper in camp
uomep in the mines were then unknown
determined 10 make the occasion Q
memorable one. A lawyer who was min
ing there mounted stump and de-
liyersd an ex tempore adhesion the oc-
casion, Astounding in eloquent words de-
seriptiye of woman's virtues, and after
drinks all around dozen times or more,
n ring was formed and all the boys Joined
heartily in dance. And thus was cels-
brated in that camp the discovery of the
first lady's slipper.
JusT1cE's CouRT.-There was very
ludicrous case before Justice Van Ha-
gems Court yesterday afternoon; at least
there was q humorous side TO the case
so much so that the attorneys. jurors and
spectators at times were convulsed with
laughter, Justice Van Hagen alone pre-
serving his Judicial dignity and keeping
bis risibles under control. The case was
one of assault and battery, in which a
woman Was the complaining witness and
amsn was the defendant. The State
was represented by the District Attorney
ard two assistants; the defense by . sin
gle attorney. A jury of twelve men was
sworn to try the case, and the complain
ant took the witness stand. Her descrip-
ton of the occurrence was quite vivid,
and, barring the merriment it produced,
made out pretty strong case; but the
defense made no DISCRIMINATION, be-
ing satisfied that the prosecution had
proved enough-perhaps too much. As
the first witness concluded her testimony
our reporter withdrew, and at last ac-
counts the case was still pending. 10
DEATH OF BAAD Dow Private intelli-
gence was received yesterday of the death
OF Brad Dow, at Elko Hot Springs, . few
days ago. Deceased was native OF Au-
burn. N. Y, and about 36 years of age.
He was we'll known in Phoebe as vocal
and Instrumental musician, having been
upon tho stage of action for about two
years past. He left Phoebe about two
months ago, hoping to benefit his health
by change Of locality. He went to
Eureka, where a few days ago, his friends
gave him benefit, from the proceeds OF
which he realized something like $500.
Dow was man OF more than average in
telligence and was we'll educated. We
saw Yesterday letter written by him to
Prof Mitchell-probably the last he ever
wrote-which shows that he was well
educated. He wrote q good hand. and
his language showed that he was master
of English. ..... ..,s.-
