THE rATR1AECus' BALL
At tue Pltriarclls' Sall gwen at Delmonico's
in New YORK last week the costumes oI the
ladies, as usual this year, were almost dc:oid of
color, most Of the dresses Worn being OF white
tulle and illusion. There WAS, however, just an
agreeable mixture OF delicate greens, md blues,
AMI pink. The occasion was made Interesting
By the appearance ot several young t!ebutautes,
most Of whom, with good ta5te, were dressed
very simply i'll pure white. with now aud then
little oTnalnentation, usually nothing more than
L wreath OF flowers eEtwincl around the snowy
skirts, plain harrow black-ye!yet ribbon
around tue neck, fastened with small gold or
diamond brooch, piu! bow at the heck, aud in
some instances small knots OF pink and black
silk or satin at the shoulders, 4 few dresses Of
black grcna1inc were to nc SEEM and one in par
ticular wzs enliveued by 4 spiral wreath of white
roses completely encrcling tic skirt from
the waist to the hem. There we're no long
trains, nor was there any extravaganza OF any
kind. Of course the dresses we're all cut low in
the nccls aud short III the arms; and many Of
the white robes were enl0eliisllcd By a strip Of
green suli1a1 running round the top Of the
waist.

were not aware of the scrupulous care Of
these gentlemen in the matter of purchases

pile at the lower end of the town, when Par
son Kelly assembled to the summit and Jerry
Schooling placed himself at the end of the
pile, whereupon they carefully measured the
same, taking care to see that the sticks were
full length. Upon interviewing the gentle

From BoDIE.-One day last week the off

WEST GATE MINES.

The excitement consequent upon the dis
covery of what are supposed to be argentifer-
Gus mines in Chalk Hill West Gate District,
continues undated. The true value and
richness of these mines has not been fully
determined; but William Eassie, well known
here and at Virginia, says there is no doubt
in his mind that good mining property, yet
undeveloped, exists in that District. The
first location made on Chalk Hill was called
the Iron Monster; which mine contains gold
silver and lead: but in what quantities;
whether much or little, we are not in posi-
ton to state, Experienced miners, who
have visited the ground, believe that good
mines will eventually be uncovered on Chalk
Hill and surrounding country. Prospecting
and locating of mining ground is prosecuted
with great energy, and if there is much prec-
ious metal found, the prospectors will soon
make an exhibit. More anon, on this subject.
MAN KILLED AT TRUCKEE last even
ings dispatches we find the following account
of a tragedy at Truckee: A fatal affray be-
tween Charles Charlton and William Smith,
both colored occurred here yesterday, re-
sulting in the death of the latter Smith was
had beaten his wife, and war
rant was issued for his arrest. He blamed
Charlton for instigating the arrest, and stole
a pistol, which he exhibited to several parties,
saying he intended to bulldoze some one.
Meeting Charlton, he called him names, drew
the pistol and placed it to his head. A scufle
snsued, during which thepistol was discharged.
The ball entered Smiths body near the right
collar bone, glanced to the left and downward,
cutting the main artery and lodging in the
back part of the chest. The men immediately
separated, Smith walking into back yard,
where he soon died. Charlton gave himself
up to the officers. The deceased has wife |
md child, and his parents reside near Nevada
City.

About 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
the suffers store was the scene Of a
bloody affray in which James Murray,
a soldier of Captain Payne's company,
T. Fifth Cavalry, met his death at the
hands of a worthless hummer named
Edward Baker, a hauger-on at the
company kitchen.
The facts of the homicide, as CLEANED
from eye-witnesses, are as follows:
Murray either owed or had promised
to give Baker some money, and after
the troops were paid off, yesterday,
both men fell to drinking, and were
soon intoxicated. Murray gave Baker
money several times, and Baker as
often spent it and asked for ore,
until at last Murray handed him a
dollar and refused to give him more.
Baker then said:
"Then you're n s-of a -"
Murray turned away, saying:
"I'll take that from a baby, but 1
wouldn't from anyone else"
This angered Baker and he went into
the store, bought a large knife, and
rushing upon Murray, cut q seveIe
cash in his forehead, and then plunged
the CORY blade into his heart.
Murray fell, and died within five
minutes, speaking but a few words
after being stabbed.
Baker was at once placed under ar
rest by Adjutant King, and is now
confined in the guard-house at the Fort.
On account of threats made by Muir
rays comrades, the guard was increased
to thirty-six men, so that all danger Of
Il necktie festival was averted.
Coroner Goldacker, on being notified,
proceeded to the post and held an IN
quest Over Murray's remains, the YER
dict being in accordance with the facts.
Murray was a veteran, being in the
Fifth Cavalry for % years. He was
about 80 years of age. His murderer
has been in this section several years,
and is widely known. He has respect
able and prominent relatives in the
states. He was n member of F COM
pany for about six months, but WIS dis
charged last spring, and has been liy-
ing off the company most of the time
since then.

The - Briqqs Coal.

Among the many varieties of coal
recently introduced in this market, the
coal of the old Briggs" mine at Erie.
Colo, sold here by Mr.. r. II. Johns, is
rapidly gaining the favor Of consumers.
This coal is now being mined from a
vein forty feet thick, and has greatly
improved in quality since the early
times, when a poorer quality from the
same mine was sold here for $40 per
ton.
