THIS mornings telegraphic dispatches
contain the news of the death of B. P.
Avery, American minister to China.
Judge Fuller of this place, brother-in-
law of the deceased gentlemen also re-

sad event. Mr.. Avery was native of
New York City and was about 46 years
of age. He went to San Francisco in
1S49, and for twenty-four years was iden-
titled with that city and its prosperity
He was editor of the Bulletin for
period of eleven years and was the main
founder of that journal. He edited the
Overland Monthly for some time prior to
his appointment. He had the confidence
and regard of all classes and parties. and
at the time of his departure for China
was the recipient of several flattering
testimonials. He was widely known on
this coast and his death will be univer-
sally regretted by all who knew him.
Dull Yesterday was rather quiet
day, no noisy bullwhackers to enliven
the air with their voices. Our "horri-
bic accident man was considerably out
of joint on account of not having some-
thing in that line on which to dilate.
Items were few and hard to find, and
money, that root OF all evil, hard to OBJ
tain or even view. This was the state
of the town during the day. The min
ers, ETC., at the mines were busy as
usual; the Nevada Central made its reg
ular trips, but nothing out OF common
varied the monotony.
