youngsters of the town we're skylark-
ing on Bridge street, An inoffensive
Celestial passed by, when one of the
hoodlums deliberately picked up
rock which he threw with considerable
force at the Mongolian, striking him on
the head, and building miniature
Winnemucca mountain thereon. The
heather, as soon as he recovered from
the shock, sp!uttered out considerable
swearing in Chinese, and then struck
out to capture the artilleryman. The
boy, however, was too nimble of foot
as we'll as deadly of aim, and succeeded
in eluding the vigilance of the sore
head. This sort of fun may be a source
of merriment to the boys occasionally.
and we sincerely hop thatif persevered
in it may also prove source of trouble
and chastisement.

Pm ExTRACTED.-W mentioned a
few days ago that Miss Minnie Snow,
of Battle Mountain, came to Winnie
mucca suffering from a pin which had
lodged in her throat. She sought sur
gical aid, but all efforts to remove the
irritating body proved unavailing. and
she returned home with the pin in the
same painful position. Finding the
pain and the difficulty of swallowing
increasing, the lady again arrived in
town yesterday morning. after carrying
the obstruction just one week. and i'm
mediately called in the services of DR..
Hanson, who succeeded at length in
taking the pin from the throat. The
doctor says that il was one of the most
difficult operations he has ever per-
formed during his professional career.
Miss Snow feels greatly relieved, and
the Inflammation of the throat which
the poisonous wire produced, is fast
subsiding. In day or SO she will be
as well as ever.

RUMoRED STRIKE. Gen. Buckner,
who has been out of town for the last

will have it worked at the Golden

STILL THEY CoME.-Five car loads of
emigrants passed here last evening.
Almost every nationality in Europe
Was represented, and their dispositions
were Infinitely more varied than their
nativities. Some were morose and
detected, as if anticipating hard times
in California. while others were merry
as lark, putting on sort of don't
care-a-cent air. A large proportion of
the travellers were females, from the
pretty ,blushing maiden of fifteen, to
the old shriveled nag of seventy.

SToLEN.-C. A. Gay day before yes

who was in a state of intoxication, TAX

$l8 until he was again able to take care
of it himself. He went ont of his
workshop for few moments, leav-
ing the man sleeping on the floor.
On his return the man was missing
and also valuable revolver for which
he had been offered SIS. Whether the
stranger or one of the Cinnamon, who
are numerous thereabouts, took the
weapon. it is impossible to say. The
man befriended has not been seen
since. &

ThAGIc.-Yesterday evening, toward
sunset, one of the editorial staff of the
Register, with cane in hand and gog-
giles protecting his eyes, might have
been observed slowly vending his way
down Bridge street, as if making for
the Humboldt river. There was an air
of dependency about the man, which
was suggestive of the idea of suicide.
The street urchins, struck by the mel
ancholy expression of countenance,
followed him at distance, and in their
progress to the river, their ranks were
further swelled by the accession of
several Piute boys and squaws, and
all were fully prepared to witness
a tragedy. Reaching the river banks,
the man was seen to take the covering
from his antipodes-as if shrinking
from the idea of perishing with bis
boots on. He then sat down, and leis-
urely dipped his hoofs into the crystal
stream, which proceeded to remove the
accumulations of many moons from
those "tiny footsteps. The spectators
yelled and howled at being thus cheated
ont of a sight that would have afforded
material for coroner's inquest. The
stranger replaced his sandals, and at
rapid gait-for his load was lighter
now-proceeded to the nearest saloon
to liquor up. &a1
