A RACE FOR FREEDoM.-Yester-
day evening as the six o'clock bus
from Gold Hill to Virginia was near
McGurn's store an interesting Incl
dent took place. Constable George
Sanders had arrested man for dis
turbing the peace and was conveying
him to Virginia, the Gold Hill Jail
being full. The prisoner sat near the
door of the bus, and at the point
named made luHge against the
opening and in a moment was on his
feet outside and speeding away as
fast as he could. The officer follow
ed, landing on the ground moment
after him. The Two then began an
exciting race, the peace disturber
leading the way along the American
Flat road, his pursuer following close
upon his heels The bus was
stopped, and the passengers gazed at
the race with much interest. When
last seen both were doing their best,
the escaping criminal having little
the better Of the race.

IL TRoUBLE.--Not long had the
horn-tooting ice-cream Frenchman
enjoyed the thriving trade he found
in Silver City Tuesday, before. like,
Othello, he found his occupation
gone. 1t seems he owed debt of
SIS, and in consequence Constable
Miller took possession Of mule, cart,
ice cream and al. He couldn't pay
the debts but the forlorn and woe-be-
gone look which he wore as he took
Il vacant seat in front OF a saloon, re-
ahzing that in this semi-tropical eli
mate his toothsome stock in trade
would soon be literally gone to the
dogs, touched the sympathies Of the
creditor, the property was released,
and the old man went on his way re-
joicing.

There are but few styles of ornamental
tion in this wide world over which fash
ion does not exercise her imperious sway.
The decoration of Christmas trees, forms
no exception to the general rule. A few
years ago we found them embellished
with toys, and little later, with candies,
fashioned into various shapes, represent
ing fruits, flowers and other objects of
beauty. But the toys and candies offered
too strong temptations TO children's hands,
and in few days the well-filled branches
of a Christmas tree would plainly show
the inroads of the destroying angels.
Highly colored candies were objectiona-
Bile, too, on the score of unhealthiness.
The plan now coming into favor seems
to be decorations made of paper of differ
ent colors, gilded Or embossed, and often
made in imitation of rare woods and rich
marbles, stars, rosettes and laces may be
combined with pictures, and many beau
tiful ornaments made. These orna.
ments are now extensively sold in the
stores, and they can easily be made al
home, forming pleasant occupation fol
the winter fireside. We notice at tht
store of Mrs. Henze, 11S Market street, ;
large assortment of both ornaments ant
| figures. In many of the ornaments
ruches of different colors are used will
pleasing effect. One of the tasteful de
signs seen here is paper boat in whicl
are two figures with heads Of paper an,
| dresses of tulle.
