as also most OF the articles on the tables
devoted to fancy work. It is to be hoped
that our citizens will ate nd in goodly
numbers, for then they will not only en-
JOY themselves but aid in good work.
II is our painful duty to state that the
rencounter which took place on Thurs
day afternoon between Mr.. E. Hamilton
and Mr.. J. II. Rice, is likely to be at
tended with very grave consequences.
The wound that Mr.. Hamilton received
in the ARRAY, which at first was thought
to be not at all serious, appears to be en-
failing very dangerous consequences, and
Mr.. Hamilton's condition is quite criti-
cal. Yesterday Mr.. Rice placed himself
in ths custody of the Sheriff TO await
the result.
HANLY's HALL.-Last evening the
amateur theatrical performance for the
benefit of Fannie Clements was again
presented to another large and apprecia-
tive audience. The play passed off ex-
ceedingly we'll even better than ct the
time of its first representation. The
vocalists were in good voice and their
performance was in all respects most
creditable. 1t must be q matter of re-
joicipg to all who projected and assisted
in the performance that in oil respects
it was such great success.
ExTINaUIsHEp Yesterday noon there
was telegram received from Virginia
City which stated that the Belcher air
shaft was on fire. Later in the day in
quiry was made by Mr.. Sears, the oper-
ator at this point, respecting the pro-
gress of the fire, damage done, etc. We
are m UGH pleased to be able to say that
the reply was that the shaft had been on
fire but it was very soon extiuguished
with but very trihing loss.
CHANGED. In a card published this
morning in our advertising columns our
young friend Rolla Watt announces that
be has sold his cigar and stationery stand
in DR.. Lees drug store, to Mr.. John
Shier, who will continue the business in
future at the same place. The former
patrons and the public are invited to call
upon friend Shier when they need any.
thing in his line.
We much regret to state that on in
quiring at Mr.. Hamilton's residence last
evening we were informed that his
symptoms had assumed very critical
appearance. 1t is feared that the Injury

supposed to be the case. Drs. Lee and
Philson are attending Mr.. Hamilton and
everything that skill and attention can
do, will be employed to effect recovery.
