REMARKABLE.-We met yesterday gentle
man in reduced circumstances, who was try
ing to make provision for his three boys whom
he had with him. They were bright little
| fellows, and being motherless excited much
sympathy. Upon engaging in conversation
with the father, he informed us that the three
boys each belonged to pairs of twins, but had
lost their mates. That his wife had given
birth to six pairs of twins in six years and
seven months, and that inside of seven years
had buried nine children. We think this very
remarkable even for Nevada and doubt if an
instance of the kind ever occurred before.
A New THING IN ADVERTISING. Phelps
of the upper drug store has borrowed the
thunder of the cigar dealers and now sports
figure head at the front door. We took
look at it last evening and the features
strongly resembled those of Benjamen Frank
lin, not he of the key and kite, but the
knight of the pestle at the lower end of Car
son Street. Ben like his plasters will draw
well and Phelps has done well to place him
in prominent position. It is always pleas
ant to note a reciprocity of feeling among the
compounders.
At the Postoffice yesterday morning there
was wordy war in which two merchants of
this city were engaged. The epithets ap-
piled to each other were not of drawing
room order. The war ended as it commenced,
in smoke. The angry ones did not come to
blows, owing to the timely intercession of
peace makers

was recently arrested in this city by officer |
Cowing, and subsequently taken to Genoa by |
