AOA't N~J -
EDITOR TIMES ON Saturday
night last some rascally scamps cut
a hole in Charley Gruber's glass
door, and, by putting in their hands,
removed the bolt and entered the
saloon, and with screw driver op-
ened the money drawer and alb
stracted thereirom IS so in coin and
SIS worth of cigars-and here is
where Charley says the robbers got
in the laugh on him-they took the
two-bit cigars and left the cheap
ones. That showed they were good
judges of the weed, anyway. Char
ley says next time, he asks only
this: that they shall not injure his
door, but simply say "let me I'M"
he will carry no weapon, but will
guarantee to stop that fellow-ycs,
completely cure him from stealing.
They also took cigar hol Ter which
he priced very highly, and he wishes
us to announce that if the vagabond
will return it, he will present him
with box of cigars and never di-
vulge the secret. If he don't, he
must not use it at the Union Hotel,
as it will be apt to get too hot for
the smoker.
They then went to Jaqua's Hotel,
raised the window and took ten
cent piece and about $50 work of ci-
CARS. Good-natured, as Jaqua al
ways is, he complains because he
thinks he treated one of them to ci
gars and whisky and charged moth
ing. These fellows are unmitigated
rascals and ungrateful scamps to
steal from Gruber or Jaqua, either,
when no man has ever been known
to leave their hotels either hungry
or thirsty.

Miss BELLA PArEMAN.-A ruling
favorite in San Francisco is under
a limited engagement at Piper's
Opera Uouse, and presented the
New Magdalen last evening. There
will be change of play every night
this week. We speak knowingly
when we say Miss Pateman, next to
Mrs. Bowers, is the most talented
actress who has appeared on the
Virginia City boards. Her most
successful rote, we think, is an en-
otional drama, and during the en-
gagement of Miss Clara Morris at
the California Theatre, Miss Pate
man at times, when there was any
thing in the character assigned to
her, evenly divided the honors and
applause between that acknowledge
ed emotional queen and herself.
Her elocution is to the last degree
perfect, her manner sparkling and
graceful, and added to this she has
q sweet and interesting face. No
lover of the drama should miss see
ing her. She is supported by the
full company.

discovered suspicious looking
party endeavoring to gain an en-
trance to the Court house. AS soon
as discovered the prowler took to
his heels, and alter refusing to halt
at the order of the Waterman, was
fired at four times, without precept-
able effect. The scamp was proba-
bly, an incendiary,as one would hard
ly seek valuables in a Courthouse.

BURGLARY AT DAYToN.-The Day.
ton people seem to be particularly
afflicted with set of sneak thieves
and burglars. A few days ago we
published an account of their opera
tons, and now have information of
later outrage, in which two houses
were entered and all the property
extracted that could be carried away
conveniently. We advise the Day
tonltcs to set few trap-gnns, which
will at least give the alarm if they
do not effect the capture of the burg
lars. Try it, and you will have ga
man tor breakfast" some of these
days.

match between Williams ana Cnat-
! ham will take place some time this
forenoon. The exact locality has
not yet been mentioned, as, of
course, a chance must be afforded
the authorities to escape having to
make an arrest and thereby break
ing up the sport (?), but the chosen
ground is supposed to be some
where near the race-track. AS a
reporter, we regret not being able to
attend, but as citizen and from a
moral standpoint, we deem the prac-
tice of prize-fghting one of the
most brutal, debasing and barbar-
Gus relics yet preserved from an
ancient time. There cannot truly
be said to be moral or palliating
feature about it. No principle of
bravery or virtue enters into the
prize ring. The combatants are not
struggling for honor-like the he'll
melted and armor clad knights of
old who entered the arena before
crowned heads and royal danes,
| shivered lances together in a test OF
strength and skill, for the prize of
lady's smile and decoration from
her fair hand. The pugilist, almost
invariably, is only the hero of the
very dregs of society, a boon COM
panion with the worst of its classes,
and without honorable occupation
or fame. He hardens his muscles,
practices his hands, and stands be-
fore his adversary only that he may
win few dollars, to crafty his
pleasures. He pummels his best
friend, perhaps, and is pummeled
by him, to the extent, in many
cases, OF designation for life, for
the sake of winning his imperilled
stakes. When brute force and en-
durance is at length exhausted, and
the weaker of the two succumbs to
mutilation and blindness, the sport
has ended. The victor is applauded
by his hackers and friends, and the
spectator, who has not had more
than =" the drinks bet on the result,
even feels like caressing the bloody
and battered champion. Taking it
for granted that even the pugiist
has at times a spark of manhood
left, we can only imagine the
amount of disgust he must feel for
himself, as he lies stretched out
after the battle, with swollen eyes,
crooked nose, Scared face and
bruised and aching body, for weeks
recovering from the encounter. The
worst passions that can inhabit the
human breast will be catered to-
day; abundant opportunity for
murderous row Will be afforded, and
it will create little surprise if, before
the affair has ended, one or two
lives have paid the penalty of par
ticipation. The hoarse, blaSphem-
Gus voice of the professional ruilian,
will be heard i'm curses, as he grasrs
the butt of his six shooter at the
"foul" blow; the cool, speculative
1850 to S20!' or ga 500 to Sl0!'
will be heard from the professional
gambler, as he closely watches the
chances and the condition of the
men; the diamond decked demi-
monde, in silken tinery and flushed
with champagne, will clap her jew
eled hands in approbative applause,
as the successive rounds are
