NOTES AND QUERIES.

ducts7e and Siren-hke. AS lot instance
There is neatly made calico dress mounted
on one of those wire forms SO convenient TO
illustrating the female shape, standing il
front Of the door OF dressmaker whose mod
est local habitation is in Rinckers Building
round the corner. It is very lifelike, is Thu
feminine counterfeit. It's ordinary posture
(aIbeit the. body is minus a head, is calculated
to deceive the unwary observer; but las
evening, just before the cleaning, its appear
anco of vivacity was much heightened by tht
abdul playfulness of the passing breeze. L
seems that the arms of the dress are LEFT
hanging loose and when the light vino
passed that way it lifted them 50 much aftel
the female fashion that this unsuspectlng
scribe (who trusts that his native gallantry Is
undiminished with his accommodating years.,
found himself obeying what he took to be
very decided, not to say vehement, beckon.
He saw visions of--but it is needless pro-
fan&tion of the finer feelings to say what his
visions were. 1t is but just to himself to say
however, that his intentions were altogether
sparkling going on yesterday between the Pl-
ute lads and lassies. We noted one pair who
seemed very found, in a shy way, and very
decorous withal. An awning post was their
trysting place and mutual friend, They took
turns--she in q coQuetish, he in an insinuat-
ing and, to her, not unHelcome way. Alright
bright, clean, buxom maiden she was, to be
sure; and one could see that she was proud
Of her lover, as we'll she might be; for he was
1.-the aud clean of make and carriage, full
twenty to her seventeen, one might guess
and altogether very comely pair. We sus-
pcct there be many Of these love markings at
this juncture in the Piute history. Of course
the Fandango is the cause of this centering
here of so many Of this tribe of Indians.
There was beside these sparkish phenomena
genial disposition to be neighhorlike and &C
commodating and to share and share alike
observable among the young men of the tribe.
This was illustrated by the use and employ
ment Of two ponies to three riders-pne rid
ing singlJ and two youthful braves taking deck
passaee OF the other pony. Behind them both
todd,c0 the wee est mite of a colt we ever saw
1t looked like toy, but it stepped ahead,
hoTsclike and peert and evidently was alive to
the emergencies Of the occasion. Indeed,
this very small young beast seemed to feel no
little pride III contemplation OF the fact that
its mother was able, so soon after her conhne-
ment, TO carry that brace Of sedate young
warriors, This colt was the nearest approach
to weapon observable in the possession of
these braves-and he was Enthusiastically of the
single barrel variety. Arma rirum,que cano
go. We must confess that we are greatly sat
isfed with the action Of the Pardoning Board
relative 10 Harry Huff, the Humboldt muir
derer As we understand the case, there are
doubts of the soundness Of the prisoners mind
at the time OF the murder. as also that there |
are other mitigating circumstances, The un |
fortunate mans sentence has been committed |
TO imprisonment for life. The case of Crozier
that is 10 say, the Board will not intervene to
distut5 the fell course Of the law. In an
other place is a notice Of the death of a baby.
It died Of cholera infantum--a very unusual
cause of death Ill these parts. The afflicted
mother and father have our profound sympa-
thes . The flags were at half mast in Vir-
ginia City yesterday in token of respect to
Michael Lynch deceased. He died at Peta-
luna, California, on Sunday. He was highly
and leaves behind him memory
for great kinduess to the poor and needy -.
