RrsAwAr.-A lively runaway occurred
in Virginia City, about seven o'clock.
this morning. The toam which did the
stanpeding belonged to an Italian yegs-
table psddler. II was standing near tho
corner Of c and Union streets. and was
frightened by some water that was
thrown upon one OF tho horses by the
spriuklins cart. The horses took down
the street, followed by tho Italian ses-
ticulating wildly and calling upon tho
saints for assistance. The wagon to
which tho runaways were attached. col.
lidsi against q butcher wagon belonging
to the Empire market. on the corner Of
Z street and Sutton avenue. Had not
a man, who was standing in front OF the
market. caught the butchers team, q
second runaway would have occurred.

thrown of by the collision. and tho
ground strewed with its contents. The
team ran down Q TO Carson street where
thcy were stopped. The wagon was the
only thing injured, the horses escaping

WISH TO HAVE IT RErEATED.-Ths
concert that wa given ut Miners Union
Hall. Gold Hill. last Friday evening, for
the benefit Of Miss Maronie's private
school. was enjoyed 80 much by all who
attended. and they have been talking OF
its merits so constantly since, that many
who did not attend begin to realize tho
treat they missed. and are anxious to
have II repeated 10 possible. Tho pre-
vailing idea no doubt was, that 1t would
be q very common affair, aud that In
staying away they were missing an in
fiction. The very reverse Wa the case,
and had those managing Il not been
"a modest. or hadit been given at Piper's
Opera House. for instance, an immense
crowd would have been attracted. Many
things are realized just a little too late,
and that IN exactly whats the matter
with those who did not attend tho con-
cert last Friday evening. They now
begin to see what they missed.
