THE LOST CAWS.
THE GATHERING OF THE CROWS.

Tomorrow will dawn upon the assembled
hosts of the Unterrifed. They come to Car
son to ratify their coquetry with the queer
question of official Transforming to terms,
as it were-that is to say, third termerS. The
nomination for Governor will not be Hager-
man nor yet Fox, nor yet indeed oar gallant
and very clever and educated friend Colonel
Ellis. 1t will be Major Bradley "the guile
less gentleman, sill" him of the cornuted
brow and the far streaming beard. Stumpy
his party like a grand duke strding this mar
row world like a colossus, while lesser men
creep about between his stout legs and seek
for themselves dishonorable graves. (rhis is
a trife far fetched; but these be days of Met
aphor, and there is warrant for figures of
speech in dealing with the Office seeking men
of our times.) There seems to
be no doubt that Mr. Deal will
be nominated for Congress, our handsome
friend, Hon Jewett Adams, will probably de-
feat Mr. Blennerhassett for the nomination
to the Lieutenant Governorship; Uncle Jerry
Schooling will no doubt be hosted in over the
mangled remains of the third term resolu-
lions of his party; General kittrell will
spread the pinions of his own eloquence upon
the question of his own succession, while old
Dave Bailey and that other man of legs and
law, editor Street, assert their claims in that
direction; Sessions, our handsome friend and
former associate, will probably be nominated
for Schoolmaster General; friend Elstner will

A Row - Yesterday afternoon, about 4
o'clock, two well known citizens got into a
little row in front of the Carson City Savings
Bank 1t appears that Mr.. Anderson, the
painter, had an account against DIR. Brewster,
which he presented for payment. The Doctor
acknowledged the Indebtedness, but would not
iquidate the same in cash the understand
ing being, he is reported to have said, that
Mr. Anderson was to get his pay i'll the Doc
tors professional services. To make long
story short, words grew hotter and more bit
ter until the affair resulted in blows The
men were eventually separated by mutual
friends. Mr.. Anderson subsequently swore
out a warrant against the Doctor on the charge
of assault and battery, upon which he was
arrested.
STocKs-The market still continues with
an upward tendency. On the street yester-
day afternoon Sierra Nevada stood $2O5,
Uuion Con. SLID, Mexican 800 and Ophir
&97. The first three stocks have reached
higher figure than they ever attained since
Tie were 1lStGOl OIL IIlG DOdEu. II Is 0TdUlIH-
ing to know that large blocks of Mexican are
being held in this city by parties who, if they
realize at present figures, will not only make
an enormous profit on their investment, but
will use the money judiciously, One young
gentleman, alone, of our acquaintance in
Carson, who has held Mexican stock for sew
eral years, can now clean up with $4,000.
To BE MARRIED. This afternoon at the
of Mr. J. A. Kennedy, of the Vir
ginia and Truckee Railroad Company, our
esteemed friend D. NJ Riordon, ESQ, bust
ness manager for Yerington & Co., at Bodie,
will be united in marriage to Miss Celine
Beer, very highly accomplished young lady
and an ornament to Carson society. Mr..
Riordon and his bride have our warmest con-
in advance. We trust their hap
piness may be long continued.

THE CASE OF FITZ JOHN PORTER.

John T. Pantlind of this city has been sub
penaed by Gen. Asa Bird Gardner, Recorder
of the Fitz John Porter Board of 1nvestiga-
ton, to appear before that Board in New
York as a witness Mr. Pantlind served in
the only regiment of Fitz John Porter's corps
which entered the fight of August %, 1862,
out of which the unpleasantness between
General Pope and General Porter grew, there
fore his testimony in this case is looked upon
as important. Owing to illness, however, Mr.
Pantlind will be unable to answer the sum-
mons in person, and will forward a medical
certificate to that effect. 1t is not unlikely
though that this Board will have his deposi-
ton taken here.

How He Cor RICH.-The Chronicle OF last
evening tells of Professor Ewings good luck
while he was at Eureka getting beaten for
Superintendent of Instruction. He was so
busily engaged in politics while there that he
did; not know what was going on in stocks
When he returned to Virginia City yesterday
he found that he had made about 800, 900 i'll

we are reminded to say that at the Eureka
Convention resolution was passed requiring
each man who came before that body for
nomination to put up $40, entrance fee; and
that all who received nominations should pay
an additional $50. There were eleven nomi-
nations Then the defeated candidates for
Governor, Surveyor General and Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction at 500 each made
another hundred dollars-a purse of $3.50 in
all A certain candidate who had better be
nameless Qest he be taken at his word), re-
marked, as he babe good bye to his last double
eagle, that he had good deal rather be

as if there was more money in these tremen-
dous assessments than in any Office under an
ordinary and reasonable salary

INFORMATION WANTED. The Enterprise of

a man who is probably known to some of our
readers. "Jessie Cole of Suisun, California, :"

went to the farmers in Washoe Valley and
secured considerable work EVERYTHING being
satisfactorily arranged, he left for Carson to
get his machine He did not put in an ap-
pearance, and no one knows what has become
of him. 1t is feared he is insane. He is of
dark complexion, six feet tall, 35 years old
has blemish in one eye, dark moustache
and chin whiskers, and was dressed in dark
clothes when last seen. Amy information

into the flume for the purpose of hauling out
one of the heavy timbers which were coming

NEWSPAPERS AS TEXT BOOKS.

.
While our Boston school committee is de
liberating over the question of text books,
it might take into consideration the new
Western idea Of using newspapers as a SUBJ
stitute for reading books. Indeed. this
idea might be much more successfully and
proftably carried out here than there, for,
with q few conspicuous exceptions, Western
journalism is not as well calculated to in
form and strengthen the youthful mind as
the Eastern expression of this same science.
The advantage of this plan us it lies in the
mind of its projectors, is that pupils, while
gaining accuracy qnd fluency as readers,
also acquire q knowledge Of what is going
on in the grent world about them, and be.
coming familiar with the purveyors of this
information, and habituated to their use.
The plastic minds of children are character.
lied by inquisitiveness, and the newspaper
might even much earlier than now CRAFTY
this legitimate curiosity and perform thei
missions as popular teachers. OF course {
choice of journals would be desirable, but
any of the many that are reckoned among
the good family papers would answer the
purpose. The reade is always the favorite
textbook of the pupil, and it might become
still more attractive if the matter was
changed from day to day.-Boston Post.

A KNIFE IN HIS BOOT.

The Citopissa PENN Neps Item says I:
' A peculiar accident happened Rev. c.. E.
Fessenden, Of this place. While he was
dressing to go to Wilkesbarre he dropped
his pen-krifc, with the blade open, into
his boot. Being in somewhat of a hurry,
he did not notice where the knife fell, and
when he pulled On his boot he felt some
thing cutting him severely on the ball Of
the foot. 1t SO happened that the knife
fell with the handle to the heel n the
point of the blade to the toe, with the sharp
edge of the blade up, and, something like
cid Jemima's plaster, the more he pulled TO
get the boot off the more the knife cut his
foot. How to get the knife without cutting
tho boot was a sumner for the reverend
gentleman, and, with the knife cutting
deeper at every movement of his foot, was
10 pleasant situation, with train time ap
preaching, and, worst of all, no one present
to assist him, Mrs. Fessenden being absen,
from home. Not being able to devise u
way by which to get the knife, Mr.. Fessen-
den, after about an hours work, cut tbs
boot to pieces, and was in time to take the
train for Wilkesbarre."

HE MOONS SURFACE.

DR.. Klein, Of Cologne, has discovered on
the moons surface n great black crater on
the Mare vapcrum, and a little to the north
west of the crater Hyginus. He says it is
:.boqt-three miles in diameter, deep and
full of shadow. Having frequently OBJ
served this region during the last twelve
years, DR.. Klein feels certain that no such
erater existed in this region at the time OF
his previous observations On subsequent
occasions he obtained further observations
Of this new crater. He found it to be
either without a wall or with a very low
one, but to be a deep. conical depression in
the surface. So far the English observa-
tions lave been in accord with those of
DR.. Klein, and if the existence of this new
crater.b be confirmed, it will form the strong.
