oor."-It IA our private opinion, public
ly expressed. that they should not. II
was also the opinion Of Mr.. Robert
Burns (iamiliarly called Bobby b, his
associates) during his lifetime. To give
n sketch Of his life would not be out OF
placc-but we don't intend 10 give il. 40
will stop talking about him after men,
tioning that he WAS born OF January
Goth. some few generations ago; was a
native Of Scotland. and for writing
poems he has been immortalised. Every
Scotchman reveres his memory. AMI his
birthday il celebrated under all flags by
them. 1t will b. celebrated in National
Guard Hall. Virginia. by the Virginia
Caledonia Club. and q real old.iash-
toned, Jolly time may be expected by all
who attend. Ii will be the C~ale,ioninns
first annual ball.

heavy slide Of earth. rock and snow at
the Vivian Cut. is cleared away, and a
damaged fiji between the American Flat
Tunnel and Silver City Switch Is re-
paired sufficiently to allow the regular 4
o'clock p. N. train to leave for Carson.
The q o'clock up.tn,in will also DO On
time, and tho o o'clock passenger trnin
will leave for Carson IN usual. Thus. II
will be seen that the railroad IL all right

road is badly damaged in places and i'm
passable. \ large force OF repairers are
ut work upon Il night and day. but the

aday or two yet.
