SAD AccrpKST.-This morning Mrs.
Kelley was kicked by a small grey horse
which had been left hitched in front OF
the Bank Exchange saloon. on Main
street, and the hbular-the small out
side bone-of the left leg fractured. She
said she thought that in passing the
horse she had got out Of his reach,
when he lifted his foot and kicked. DIR.
Kirby attended Mrs. Kelley and set the
bone. What makes 1t unfortunate
is this: Some time since, her husband
was blown up in the Belcher. and lost

accident. "Mis!ortunes never come
singly," is a very true adage.
CARSON IrENs.-Carson il woiully sI-
cited. The Legislature met yesterday
that was n cause. They had two
fires, they we're another. The proceed
ings OF the Legislature We published
Yesterday. The fires were OF not much
account, since they occasioned but little
damage. The first occurred about III
o'clock in the residence OF DIR. Talcot,
opposite the Mint. and the alarm was
sounded by tho Mint bell. Then the
fire balls struck up a chorus. The fire
companies were promptly on hand but
their services were not required. The
second alarm was sounded by a locomo-
tive about . o'clock in the evening, and
was occasionsd by a FIRE which was dis
covered on the root oi the residence OF a
Mr.. Dumph. who lives nsarth cold Round
house, in the west portion Of Carson.
Little damage was done.
TowN TErstExs. The Board Of Town
Trustees Of Gold Hill met last night in
the Town Marshal's office. But little

that date -, 19S taxes had been collected
and 5000 received from delinquent tax
payers: -, $50 % had been paid out on
warrants, leaving a balance OF hand OF

FrNdIR ANrurETEp.-Dr. Kirby, as
sisted by DIR. Hall, yesterday %amputated
the left fore finger Of Ed. Boyle, who !,
will DO remembered, shot himself with a
toy pistol some few weeks since. lie
has been suffering considerably OF late,
aud il was found necessary TO perform
the act Of amputation. TN examining
the amputated member II was found that
the little ball had shattered the bone be-
tween tho joints and that the small
pieees Of IL hak remained after the main
piece had been distracted, one about the
size Of a grain OF whoat, the other u
mere scale.
THElrMcAL since the departure Of
Mr.. Willie Gill, MIR. j. $. Lindsay has
been acting as stage manager OF Piper's
stock company. Mr.. II. III. Cox, now
in Salt Lake. has been engaged by Mr..
Piper a. permanent manager, and will
shortly arrive here. MIR. Cox is a
dnmatist Of some reputation. and short
ly after his coming. We may expect n
local drama. The new drop curtain,
under the expert fingers OF Mr.. wilkins,
Is fast approaching completion. Two
weeks more will suffice to finish IL.
Then look out for a beauty.

lsrged to a considerable extent, and is
