or imprisonment. or both. The throw
ing Of ashes into the street is one OF the
mos, dangerous %nuisances in tins nno;
no, only by reason Of the detrimental
dust /, creates. but principally on account
of the old nails, glass. etc., contained
therein. Many valuable horses are criI'-
pl-d and permanently injured by thus
getting OH nails in their feet, and even
Glass is not always n safe material TO

the wind aud brighten horses, eonsti.
tuting a dangerous az well as filthy and
di.arrceahle nuisance. Tho Town Mar

Tux CALIFORNIA MiSsrEsIs.-These
popular gentlemen have been perform
ing TO crowded houscs in tho several
towns Of Nevada for some time. and last
Monday opened in National Guard
Hall, Virginia City. The array oil tai.
ent Is as great as IL was when the COM
pany visited our place afew month since,
and the specialties Of the artists are CIV
en- in the most laughable manner.
Courtright will lecture on soap this
evening. and those who do not know
what that article is will learn all about
/, II they hear the learned disqaisitions
Of this learned Psychologist. Ernest
Linden, who was such q fayoritc when

his Tor herr operate selections with the
same paihos, and receives the usual APP

"WuY DO VIZ LAUOHg'-Sunsoi Cox
would not have asked this question IL
he hal ever visited the Alhambra Thea
ter ia Virginia City. The most laugh
able iarccs. songs AMI dances are
given every evening To large and do
lighted audiences. This theater il most
elegantly fitted up. and the scenes and
other appointments Of the place arc
finer than those OF any other hall in
Virginia City. Cory Price. the great
pedestal skate.clog dancer and u host OF
other artists, appear every night aud the
most satisfactory ana entirely delightful
programmes are presented. George
Thompson. Harry Dewey aud all the
other old %iayoritcs arc still on the
boards. and altogether this il one of tho
best places in Virginia City to spend AN
evening.
SralwBEEgIEs.-Thero is n thing
ineSplicable to the average mind in con-
nsctiou with strawberries. 1t is the
question Of why in the world you have
10 pay the same mount oi money for
strawberries at al. times Of tho season.
When the berries are fifty or seventy
i've cents u box you can purchase them
for twenty-five cents n saucsrful, AMI
when they retail for twelve and u half
cents "a box il costs YOU just the same
for that luxury n, the RESTAURANTS. To
some this appears a little strange. but 1t
may he that ths r,staurant-keopers lose
81 much IN the first Of the soason that
they have to make ny for the loss when
they get a chance.
TnE DUIpE.-Many can remember
that two or three years ago there were
very few houses ON the Divide, aud back
from the street there wero none n, all.
The town has grown ia this direction
more rapidly than in any other. Neat
cottages. the homes OF tho thrifty
miners Of tho Comstock lode, aro
sprinsing up in every direction.
Virginia. or more properly North
Gold Hill, il also improving gradu.
ally since til, fire, and our outlook
for the future is most satisfactory.
Silver City and our other suburban vii
lagys ARE looking up. and may event
ually add to the wealth and Importance
Of Gold Hil.
Tux BULLIoN T,x.-When the mines
refused to pay the regular tax on the
proceeds ot their mines, the NEWS as

solidated Virginia bullion. worth about
$4,000, and yesterday hc seized three
bars Of Ophir bullion that he found at
Dllch's assay office. carrying the same
away and placing il in the hands OF the
