The following is synopsis OF the
first two sections of Coulter's Dill

for money, checks, credits or any
other representation of value, shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and. upon conviction thereof, shall

nor more than one thousand dollars.

Der of the Legislature from Lander
county, was in Virginia on Tuesday,
and the Superintendent OF the Var,
ginia and Truckee railroad wanted
to hire his foot for snow pillow. On
looking over the record We find that

The resumption of Kelly & Hofer,
is now considered improbable, and
the only thing the unfortunates, who
dealt with the firm, can do is to

and they all deserve the sympathles
of the community.
The report was current yesterday
that Ex-District Attorney William
Patterson was rapidly sinking, and
would soon cease to be an inhablt-

The weather still continued cold
yesterday, and the sleighs were as

evening.
The work of shoveling snow from
| the house tops and sidewalks, goes

it has been trampled upon, pick is

Sothern, the comedian, is in San
Francisco to fulfill an engagement
in that city. Couldn't he be in:
duced to visit Carson and Virginia:
He would draw we'll in Nevada.
