THE MCCOURT CASE.

1t will be remembered by our readers that
Aldermen Hill and Lamb of Virginia City
came down from there some days ago for the
purpose of investigating the McCourt case.
In their report, which appears in the COM
stock papers, and in conformity with which
McCourt was cansured, they find that Nc
Court did get drunk and discharge his pistol,
thereby frightening a lady living near the
Mexican mill They fad that Mrs. Kohl is
accustomed to rough talk and that therefore
she is unframed, whatever was said and done.
The remainder of the report is as follows
Il appears that many persons believe that
Chief McCourt caused to he paid the sum OF
$500 to silence those persons who were a.
g,leved 10y his conduct. Judge Parkinson ot
the Carson Trj6..no informed us that four
persons had told him ''there would be money
i'll it" if he would suppress the publication Of
the matter, but having decided to publish it
he said he thought 1t necessary to procure "a
pistol for his protection from harm. We
will here say that we have no doubts of the
truth Of Judge Parkinson's statement. But
We do not believe that Chief McCourt paid,
or caused to be paid, to anybody the sum of
$500 "hush money! as charged. We believe
that the Kohl family could have been bought
for much less money, and think that $50
would have been sufficient for the purpose.
In conclusion, we desire to say that the
conduct of Chief McCourt at Empire City,
at the time named in the charge, was unbe-
coming in an officer occupying the position
that he does, and that we think he justly
deserves the censure of this Board. But in
view of the fact that this was his first offense,
and because we believe that he will conduct
himself with propriety in the future, We are
opposed to any further proceedings against
him in this matter.
Altogether it is a very peculiar report
and the Chief couldn't ask for anything more

A RUNAWAY BAKERS WAGON.

Carson street, these quiet times, is very
Jealous of its excitements. 1t pays much
heed to any unusual occurrence, and gathers
its clans from far and near to see runaway.
Nothing could have been more entertaining
than yesterdays chief occurrence of this sort.
1t was a bakers wagon. To be precise, it
was tho bakers horses and not his wagon.
The wagon only followed 1t was very ex-
citing. First among the calamities was the
ont bouncing of the round loaves. They
made great sensation. In another moment
the air was rent with the wild cry, "Look at
the buns!" These leaped into the air like a
vast fountain of gingerbread. Presently the
French rolls broke loose 1t was like cloud
burst of the staff of life. The street was
strewn with the fragments for miles. In less
time than we can describe, there came wild
upheaval and riotous scatteration of jumbles,
Boston crackers, Graham bread, cookies, pies,
(Oh! the agony of those warm pasties), brown
loaves. ginger snaps and jelly cakes, spread
ing CONSERVATION and bringing anarchy, ruin
and domestic and foreign generalization
Carson has passed through many scenes of
excitement; but none so wild as this. We
did not learn the particulars; the general eff
feet Ii as much as We can answer for.

FLUSHING THE SEWERS.

When they wash out the drains, they call
it flushing the sewers. When they sluce out
building, they call it slushing the floors.
Yesterday jim ST. Clair held a flush He
brought out hose cart, took suction at Rail 5
fire-plug and turned Oh the stream. The
objective point was the sewer which runs
across from the Ormsby corner to Benton's.
That drain has become very foul and bad
smelling during the hot weather. SO they
flushed it. 1t is to be hoped that it will be-
come sweeter by the process. 1t has offended
the nose of the jewellers upon its course,
quite long enough.

THE CAMPAIGN HAT.
BY THE BLUsHING RECIPIENT.

BY THE BLUsHING RECIPIENT.
1t was the gallant Boskowitz,
('Bosko" Sd round and fail,
Who hailed a modest editor
And gave to him hat.
A hat of felt was this same hat,
With fair and comely brim,
And crown of graceful curves and lines
And bani all neat and trim.
The hat which Bosko thus did give
All to this modest scribe,
"a Campaign Hat" as Bosko, ne
Did wildly describe.
And now if any fellow-man
Would dress himself in style,
Let him forthwith to Bosko go,
And buy this kind of title"
