CRowDED.-Whcn the saloons threw
open their doors, last evening, there
vas an immense rush to the bars, the
thirsty populace Fastening to relieve
the thirst brought about by an enforc-
ed abstinence during the day. 1t would
not be keeping within the bounds Of
truth to say that a man determined to
have a drink. whether or no., the pro-
curement of liquor yesterday was inn
possible /; but none was oEenly sold or
given away, and what drinking there
was was strictly or the sly. However,
there was, considering the day, very
little drunkenness observable during
the daytime but at night the pent-up
enthusiasm found vent, and there was
considerable hilarity and joyousness;
likewise some little acrimony and bit.
terness, both the joy and the anger be-
ing brought about by the agency of
the flowing bowl. In some of the
most popular Main street saloons last
night, the rush was simply immense,
and, at times, the rooms were packed
with men almost as closely as sardines
are packed in a box, and the nimble
bar keeper was obliged to put in his
best ticks in order to keep up with the
rush at the bar.
SILVER EGGs. Nearly everybody
has heard the story OF the goose that
laid the golden eggs; but none, after
they grew old enough to have as much
sense az a boiled oyster, believed it to
DE true. 1t might have been true,
though, because in a mine down in
Southern Utah they have found goose's
eggs that assay $4,000 per tor in silver,
and if une goose can lay silver eggs
why could not another goose lay golden
eggs. A gentleman named Knox, who
recently arrived here from Tocquer-
vile, Southern Titan, on his way 10
his home at San Francisco, had in his
possession a goose's nest filled with
eggs, the nest and eggs being in a pet
rilied state, and the whole assaying
largely in silver. This curiosity was
taken from a recently discovered silver
mine at Tocquerville. several hundred
feet underground. Mr.. Knox also had
in his possession pieces of petrified
wood and other petritications which
a~sayed largely ia silver, which were
taken from this mine, which it is
st.ied contains gold, sill -er, copper,
iron, antimony, lead and various other
metals in nearly all of the different
forms peculiar to them. We have for
gotten The name of the mine, but
think it ought to be called the Cab.
met" mine, rs it seems to be a mine of
cabinets Of curiosities.
WE'LL PATRoNIZED. - The hurdy
houses were largely patronized last
night, and far into the ''wee sma'
hours" the tramp Of stogie boots, the
sweet notes of music and the cheering
call of "balance to the BAR" broke
upon the air. The cause Of this unu-
sual activity in the hurdy line was the
presence in town of a large number of
coal-burners, ,sood-choppers and cam
sters, who came into town to exercise
their freenan's prerogative and get on
a jam,boree. The .hoys" seemed to
he enjoying themselves and the gentle
hurdv smiled upon the festive coal
burner and her heart beat responsive
to his as long as his coin lasted; and

A QUIET ELEcrIoN.-Up to 6 O'Clock
7. NJ. yesterday, the hour at which the
polls were closed, but one arrest was
made by the officers OF the peace.
This arrest was made by Sheriff Gil
more, and was for resisting an officer

when he was requested to comply with
a regulation in regard to passing away
from the polls. lie was locked uplong
enough to allow his ardor to cool and
was then released. He will not be
prosecuted, but only get the benefit Of
the leniency shown for small otfenses
OH election days.
voTEs FOR COIN. To the shame of
humanity be it said that votes were
openly offered for sale in this town
yesterday. We heard one man offer
to sell his suffrage tor the paltry sum
Of three dollars, and he declared that
If that sum, or more, were not paid
him, he would not vote at all. We
have heard it stated that quite a num-
Der Of voters who held off to the last
moment, with the hope OF disposing OF
their votes for coin, held on TOO late
and we're shut out from casting their
votes at all.
WASTED TICKETs.-The east side of
Main street, between Clark and Bate
man streets, was thickly strewn with
