TERRIBLE CONTEMPLATION.

Virginia City, Nevada, was almost
totally destroyed by fire OH the 2Gth inst.
The reported loss is placed ut $4,000, 900.
No lives were lost by fire, but one man
was killed because he refused Il convey
ancc to citizen. Hotels, churches,
county buildings, newspaper, telegraph
and expires, Offices were all swept away.
Over 10000 people have been made home
less by the flames. The supply of water
proving inadequate, and engines and
hosc-carriages burning in the streets,
recourse was had to powder. and many
buildings were blown to pieces. But this
proved of no avail, and the flames rolled
through, the city with unquenchable
ficrcencss. A cold, piercing wind was
blowing while the fire ragged, and the
shcltcrless women and children suffered
much from cold. a special dispatch
to the San Francisco CaU says: "The
destruction OF the city was owing to bad
management of the Engineer Of the Fire
Department at the beginning of the con
fiagration. Streams were turned upon /
livery-stable, allowing the flames to com
municate to the county buildings adjoiu
ing. The Fire Department lost its hold
The wind, blowing briskly from TIN
West, carried the flames through thu
town. The water supply gave out, engines
and hose were burned in the streets, a
panic seized the citizens, and the fire
swept OH nnimpcded, destroying every.
thing In its course. BY good fortune the
wind shifted, and the south end of the
town was saved. but the fire still swep,
on nOrthwardly. The town presented
the widest confusion and panic. Street
were blocked with goods and househol
furniture. The recent scourge of ~
phoid fever caused the pre- sencc of man
, helpless inyalids who were being carried
5 to places Of safety by friends"

SECOND ACr IN A TRAGEDY.

Uri Carruth, editor of the Nincland
Independent. died on the 10Th inst. from
the effects of bullet in his head, from Il
pistol in the hands of a man named Lam
dis. Lands shot Carruth on the 10Th of
last March. tor which crime he was placed
under $4,000 bonds. Fearing the conse-
auences of his crime, Lands attempted
to bring about settlement, Offering Car
ruth 5000 in cash, and about $50 acres
in land. which was Indignantly refused.
The mental excitement attending the ne
gotiations for settlement, it is believed,
assisted in Carruth's death. Previous to
his death he anxiously inquired: Can
you keep me till night so we can fix those
papers :" Then again-''i OH must kccI
me till morning so we can settle that
matter After speaking in this way, h'
was taken with CONFUSION, followed
by violent fit of vomiting. He thel
sank into a stupor, when death followed
rapidly. Lands bondsmen delivered
him to the authorities.

degree ofrapidity, will stump the best
spoilers:

saw was a maligned cobbler, armed

wagon, using mullen stalk as an in

was a Galilean Sadducee, and he had
,phthisicky eatarrh, diphtheria, and
the bilious intermittent erysipelas.-
A certain sibyl, with the sobriquet of
"Gipsy," went into ecstacies of each
innation at seeing him measure a
bushel of peas, and separate saccha-
rine tomatoes from heap of peeled
potatoes without dyeing or singeing
the ignitable cue which he wore, or
becoming paralyzed with a hemor-
rhage. Lifting her eyes to the cell
ing of the cupola at the Capitol, to
conceal her unparalleled embarrass-
ment, making a rough courtesy, and,
not harassing him with my>tifying,
rarefying and stupefying innuendoes,
she gave him couch, a bouquet Of
