PROF. CUNNING THIS EVENING.

AS per announcement, Prof. Cunning will
lecture this evening at the Presbyterian
church. The subject of this evenings dis
course is ''Life before man." This, as well as
others of this series will be beautifully illus
trated. The Professor is universally pro-
nounced one of the most successful lectur-
ers In Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
San Francisco, Virginia City, wherever he has
appeared he has been greeted with enthusi
astic audiences. The subjects treated of are
of the most interesting character; and unless
the press deliberately misrepresents the facts,
the Professor is man of much learning and
eloquence. The lecture this evening is one
of series. A system of season tickets has
been adopted, greatly to the cheapening of
expenses of admission. The price of ticket
for one evening is so cents. Two tickets are
sold for rs cents. A season ticket for the
entire course of five lectures can be purchased
for So We have no doubt these entertain
ments will be literally patronized.

FOX'S HOLIDAY GOODS.

Mr.. John G. Fox sympathises with the
season when Santa Claus rules the destinies
of the present giving and gift-receiving world
and he has an appreciative eye and ear for the
good genii who preside over the destinies Of
the New Year season. Our little city has al
ways been famous for the generosity of its OBJ
servance of these holidays. That pleasant
season is close upon US. Urged, as we have
intimated, by the influences of the fast-ap-
preaching festivities, Mr.. Fox has been re-
plenishing his always we'll filled store of the
beautiful, the useful and the pleasing. His
broad shelves and long counters already begin
to show signs of the goodly accumulation.
The show cases, where the elegant watches
and the brilliant jewelry are. sparkle and
simmer with bright gold and glinting gems
the wide rows of shelving are heavy with new
and attractive volumes of the poets, the ro-
mancers and the historians; brio brac ar
rests the attention on all sides; the rich tone
of Steinway pianos pleases the listening ear;
a wilderness Of toys bewilders the adult and
fascinates the young; vast variety of shelf
goods claims the visitors attention; a great
stock of choice stationary, some of which is
proof of the delicacy of the paper makers art
is arranged in attractive rows and piles and
sheets and books of music; guns, musical in
struments, fishing tackle, engravlngs, and a
great mass of miscellaneous things too extern
sive to be catalogued, are to be seen there.
As an earnest of his purpose to do justice to
the holiday season Mr.. Fox let's the light of
his enterprise find expression in an advertise
ment of well considered proportions in the
present issue of the MORNING APPEAL. Read,
ponder, and prepare to purchase.

THEATRICALs IN CINCINNATI. The theatre
managers of Cincinnati publish statement

Grand Opera House, says he has lost money

agreement, and the remainder lacked S18 of
paying expenses. Fanny Davenport drew
S3,328, which was SIP less than her salary
and the other expenses. The loss on week
of "Sardanapalus was $500, on two weeks
of Barrett 5000, on a week of " Bahia $500,
and on two weeks of the Lingards $500. Mr.
Macauley of Robinson's Opera House, says

gagements with Mary Carey, Booth, Frank
Frayne, the Florences, and Parsloe in All

CHARLEY VANGoRDER DEAD.-Mr. Beamis
Pixlev bring US the unpleasant news that
Charley Vangorder died yesterday afternoon
at twenty-five minutes past five o'clock, at
Sacramento. Thus passes away one of the
most genial members of the fraternity of Ne
vada pioneers Vangorder accumulated quite
a fortune in the early days of Storey County
as teamster--or, more properly, contrac-
tor for the freighting of ores and supplies He
was always very popular man and welcome
participant in social gatherings A few years
ago he was painfully hurt by the accidental
discharge of gun. The feshy part of one of
his shoulders was thus torn off in mass.
But he fully recovered from this mishap, we
believe. The disorder which killed him has
been described as an abcess on the liver-a
most painful disease. 1t has been evident
for some days past that his recovery was not
to be hoped for.
A fellow citizen who has had horse badly
injured by treading on a nail, asks us to pro-
test, very earnestly, against the too prevalent
practice of throwing nails and bits OF glass
and other rubbish into the streets. We wish
that we, by this repetition of an old protest
of our own, we could cause this vicious prac-
tice to be abandoned. Our friend mourns
the serious hurt of a very valuable animal
People should be more thoughtful than to
make the street the receptacle of ashes, tin
cans, bits of board and timber with dangerous
nails adhering thereto, etcetera. In the first
place, it is against the ordinance; in the next
instance it is an inexcusable sort of slipshoddy
FINE HoRsE.-That big gray horse that
Hank Monk was driving yesterday is one of
Doc. Bentons late purchases He is under
five years of age, a remarkably strong stopper

heap.
Buck Davis has got back from Eureka.

How SAINT WROUGHT M1RAc1E.-In
a Lombard village drunken conscript, while
recently passing before statue of St. An

and pray to the saint to exempt him from
military service. Gradually warming in his
devotions, he climbed the pedestal and be-
gan to hug and kiss the statue so violently
that both saint and sinner tumbled to the
ground. The former suffered no damage,
but the latter sustained serious internal in

FIRE SET BY CIGARETTES -The Belmont
Courier of Saturday records the firing of a
stack of hay, and adds: Dnring the morning
several Indians were observed playing cards
and smoking cigarettes in the corral, and it is
but reasonable to presume that some of these
''reds" were the cause of the blaze that de-
stroyed the hay of Billy Mccain. Citizens
cannot be to careful in watching the 'Fpoor"
Indians, they ought not to be allowed to play
their game of poker where hay is stored nor
make empty houses their abiding place.
Fortunately the brewery force pump was near
the scene of the fire and materially assisted
in preventing the spread of the flames Mr..
Mccain estimates his loss at about 5000

-Lucius j. Wright had the misfor-
tune to have several sheep killed by
dogs. He elected to take the damages
from the dog fund, rather than run the
risk of collecting them from the owners
of the dogs under the old law, in which
he is wise, as it is question for the
courts whether dog is liable for dam
ages which has received license to
kill sheep.
Rev. G. Il. Hubert preached at the

expected TO do in putting to flight the
legions of sin which oppose themselves
against him. 1t is needless to add that
he had fine sermon, and that it was

reached from the outside. Next MORN
ing the empty drawer was found in Mr..
ketcham's horse shed. No clue has
been discovered to the thief.
For some weeks past there has been
any amount of sneak thief operation

indulging in the stealing of fruit, mel
ons, corn, honey, milking cows, etc.
II is only recently that Mrs. Volmey
Kelsey awoke in the night and saw two
men about their bee hives. Mr.. Kelsey
took his revolver and fired in the direc-
ton three or four times and heard one

left 10 trace, however. A little Judi
cious shooting in this manner will be
likely to be more effective for stopping
this kind of thieving than forty arrests.
