The recent challenge of Johnny Sui
Ivan, lately from Australia, to fight
any man in America at his own weight
lis pounds-is all the talk among
the sporting men of Virginia City.
They want to find a man there to
tackle Sullivan, and as he offers to
meet Trevillian of that city in the ring,
and give him an advantage of eighteen
pounds in weight, the friends of the
latter think he ought to take up the
proposition. Trevillian has plenty OF
hackers, but doesn't seem to care about
meeting ''little Johnny"

rived this morning-says Mondays

ley, sentenced for two years for the
crime of assisting prisoners to escape
from Jail, Chas. Frando, attempting to

all now safely ensconced in their new
quarters.
Our old typo friend, says the Carson
Tribune, e. b. Willis, formerly re-

latterly of the Sacramento Record, was
united in the bonds of wedlock re-

dOne-but then distance lends en-
chantment. The lady whom he has
taken for a partner through life is a
Miss Brown, formerly of Sacramento.
We wish them long life and abundant
happiness.
About 2 o'clock this afternoon, says
the Virginia Chronicle of Monday, a
woman named Medley walked into the

arrested by a bystander before she
pulled the trigger, and she was given
into the custody CT Officer White.
Jealousy is the supposed cause.
The enterprising Chicaeoans are
waking up TO the value of Nevada sill
yer mines viewed in the light OF pay
ing investments. A party of Chicago
