THOSE DRoMEDARIEs.-The first
prosecution under the Legislative
Act prohibiting dromedaries from
running at large in the State of Ne
vada. came up in Judge Hickey's
Justices Court at Dayton, on Mon
day, and was postponed for hearing
till to-day at 2P. N. Like the poor
"droms." the citizens of Walker
River Valley have got their backs
up and want the unsightly animals
properly restrained. Nothing is
safe from these voracious critters,
Is they will bolt down q Murphy
wagon, four rods Of rail fence, q
Yankee stoneboat or anything else,
at q single meal. Az pack animals
for use across . desert waste. they
can't be beat /; but when il comes "a
. bump of destructiveness, they
have one as big as . Brooklyn
preacher.

SAN FRANCISCO, September %.
An extensive swindle on the Gov
ernment and importers Of coal has
been discovered. VIM. Lund & Co.,
wholesale coal dealers, No. l18and
lis Market street, are heavy pur-
chasers from -tnsportcrs.r Every
ship cargo unloaded here from New
castle or Sydney coal for many
months, has fell 40 to go tons short
of the invoice, and the matter has
finally been traced to Lund & Co.,
who received coal direct from ships
and by fraudulent arrangement of
the scales in front of their house
where loaded carts are weighed,
and have been enabled to perpe-
trate extensive frauds. Lund 4
Co. charge the fraud to their clerk,
Fitzgerald, who, on the discovery
of the trick this morning, left the
establishment and has not since
been seen.

A FRIGHTFUL AcCIDENT.-Mr. W.
II. Lester, who is engaged in the con-
tract for painting Mr.. Frett's new
hotel next to the TINES Office, met
with fearful accident yesterday
afternoon. He was stationed on a
high .caffolding painting the front of
the building at the upper story win
dows, when some of the workmen be-
low. by mistake, loosened the brack-
cts which held the platform and let
it fall. This precipitated Lester
downward about SIX feet, where he
struck the end of board with his
hip, intlicting bad biuise, and from
this he swung in toward the house
and fell across the window sill be-
low, some six feet fui ther, striking on
his side below the ribs, and rendering
him insensible. Medical assistance
was promptly at hand, and the in
jured man restored to consciousness.
He was afterwards taken to his room
in the Winter House, and is now
under good care. The bruise on the
hip is quite severe, and fears are en-
tertained that he has received inter-
nal injury. He was in great pain
during the afternoon and evening,
but DIR. Zabriskie thinks he is not
dangerously hurt. We hope the
Doctor is correct, for Lester is one of
our best young men and cannot be
spared just yet.

A NEVADA GARDEN OF EDKN.-

A N6NAOA OAhDhN We 1IOENs
Wandering of bright Sunday after
noon through the ravines, over the
hills and along the grades of this
barren sage brush State, whenever,
at last, the eye catches the CLEAN of
agricultural beauty and verdure, one
stands transfixcd and enchanted at
the sight, AZ the thirsty Arab of the
Sahara, after weary days Of travel
over the arid plain, suddenly beholds
the inviting oasis in the distance. 1t
is something like this that one is i'm
pressed as he glides down into
Washoc Valley and comes in full
view Of the magnificent ranch, fruit
cry, vegetable and flower garden of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ross Levers, who have
there chosen a home. 1t is near
Mills Station, over the line into our
neighboring county Of Washoe, and
this little Nevada farm and orchard
ale some OF the wonders of our eli
mate and country, while the careful
and systematic cultivation which
meets one on every hand must be a
source of natural and justified pride
to the owners of the beautiful hermit
tage. We do not propose, nor have
we. the spsce, to partiiularize its
many beauties, but take pleasure
in noticing the fact that Mr.. Levers
has over seven hundred fruit trees,
embracing many varieties Of apples,
pears, plums, peaches and cherries, a
thrifty growing vineyard Of grape
vines, and cultivated blackberries and
raspberries without number. Added
to these, Mrs. Levers has the finest
flower garden in the State, and in it
are to he found a numberless variety
Of flowers, plants, shrubs and vines.
from the most delicate ard tender to
the hardest variety. This little will
derness of leaves and blossoms
plainly shows the evidence of
woman's tender nursing, and the
fruitful result Of scientific and ju-
dicious culture. 1t would require a
column to enumerate the varieties, as
the entirety forms a rich botanical
study and treat for those gifted in
Horticulture. In the vegetable gar
den are to be found all of the roots
and relishes known to Nevada gar
dening, in the greatest profusion.
Mr.. Levers sales of berries, vege-
tables and fruit this year will aggre-
gate many hundreds Of dollars, and
it is not boast that his fruit pro-
auctions are far superior in size and
flavor to the best raised in Califor-
MIA. Among others that arc really
fine we munched some Of his Bart
lett pears, that are of delicious flavor
and enormous size for that variety.
To those who have lingering doubt
as to the adaptability. of our State to
the growth Of cereals, "yarbs /" and
fruits, we commend a visit to the
splendid ranch of Mr.. LEVERS.

BILLIARDS AT EUREKA.-The long
talked-of billiard match between An

of the Kansas cues, for $4,000 side,

Eureka on the 18th instant. Much
good playing was shown, for anna
tusrs, but very ordinary for the rep
utation given to the two men. Shae-
fer won by 81 points. Shaefer's
largest run was 80, and Anthony's
So; the average of the former being
II, and of the latter III.

FELL INTo A SHAFr,-One of the
boarders at the Silver House, whose
name we could not learn last night,
fell down into an old shaft, just this
side Of the South Comstock, last
evening, at about 0 80 O'Clock. He
was on horseback and coming over
the hills from the Sutro Tunnel to
silver City, The night WAS very
dark, and he had dism0unted and was
leading the horse, when nc suddenly
found himself at the bottom of o 90
foot shaft. HIS cries soon alarmed
Mr.. George Sherman, engineer Of the
South Comstock, who called his men
and went to the relief Of the unfor-
tunate traveller. He was extricated
by means of ladder, and, for a
wonder, had sustained only q few
bruises. The man was taken to the
Silver House, and the ladder was.
thoughtfully left in the shaft, SO that
'tne next one who tumbles in can get
'out without help.

A CHURCH LOT. This seems to
be about the only obstacle now in
the way Of an immediate com
mencement of work on the propos-
ed church edifice. No suitable lot
hos yet been found that can be had
for reasonable price, and those
who have charge Of the matter are
in q quandary. Suitable lots are
held ut exorbitant figures. or at
least really higher than they could
I've sold for any other purpose.
The most eligible sites border on
the Plaza, and it is our opinion
that the church should be built
upon one of them; but no one
should take advantage of the need
to appraise the property at exorbit-
ant figures. W are unacquainted
with the title to the various lots.
but think that an edifice of the
kind intended would greatly en-
nance the value of property ad-
joining, and o sale should be en-
couraged. If any one has suit
able lot for sale, at a fair price.
they can find cash purchaser, by
applying to Rey. w. r. Jenvey. or
ct this office. ...-...
