BROWN. TASSELL IL 90.
A Complete and First-tIass Boot
and ShUe Establishment.

The firm of Brown, TasselI 81 Co.
have fitted up a neat and handsome
establishment, a fact well known to
II readers, but it is not until within
the last week hat they have received
their full and complete stock. Coarse,
common wear and cheap boots and
shoes can be procured at a few days
notice, but the finer work of noted
manufacturers has to be ordered
months ahead, the demand being so
great as to render hat course necessa
ry. The firm have now received a
full and extensive line of every article
usually found in a first class city
store, and their present assortment can
not be ~excelled for variety or excel
lence. Ladies, who have pretty feet,
aud delight in a dainty, we'll fitting
shoe, will find an article OF foot wear
that is Justly celebrated throughout
the United States. Burt's CATERS, ties
and fancy slippers occupy the front
rank in this regard, and their produc
tons are eagerly sought after by all
devotees of fashion. They are made
after the latest style of the best mate
rial, and the Workmanship is supe-
riOr qualities that recommend them
to the fair sex. Besides a splendid Sc
lection of these goods, the firm carry a
heavy stock of medium grades, lower
prices, but excellent articles in their
way. The firm not only cater to the
ladies but also provide for the wants of
the sterner sex. The stock of mems
boots and shoes on hand is immense.
The capacity of the store is too small
to hold them, and a large wareroom in
the rear is filled from floor to ceiling
with case upon case. Everything,
from a brogan to a box toed fancy
walking boot, and a miners heavy,
substantial DOT covering, to an Oxford
tie, can be found at the store. The
line of misses and children's shoes
are also full and complete; and in fact,
the stock carried would do credit to a
san Francisco emporium. Orders
from the surrounding towns are solic-
tied, and will be promptly and salts
factorily filed. For further informa-
ton, we refer the reader to the adver,
tisement under the head of New To-

a IL
Bat n Very Uncertain One Under
Certain circumstances.

The livery firm Of Moore Bros. pos
sess a sorrel horse that is fast becoming
famous. We have already had occa-
sion TO refer to his eccentricities in the
way Of breaking loose, and taking long
trips over to Hamilton and other dis
tant points. His ~propensities to leave
as soon as the occupants CT the buggy
vacate the vehicle, is at times rather
embarrassing to the parties in charge.
For example, about two weeks since, a
gentleman hired the animal, and in
company with a. lady acquaintance,
rode out to the canyon above the Italian
ranch, desiring to gather the water
crosses growing in that vicinity. Ar
irving, he hitched the steed to a con
venient willow, placed the buggy robe
on the ground for his fair companion
to recline on while he wandered up the
ravine in search of the desired plant.
Then this miserable beast, with malice
aforethought, broke his halter, and
gaily pranced back to town. The
couple were in a dilemma, and were
forced by circumstances to take Foot d
Walkers line for Eureka. He moodily
shouldered the buggy robe, and she
gathered up her skirts, and both plod.
ded on their weary way up the road,
until they reached the Consolidated.
where, by mutual consent. they parted
company, she taking a back street and
he striking out for the stable. The
horse and buggy had preceded him by
two hours time, and a large delegation
were on hand TO meet him. There was
much hilarity and many impertinent
remarks INDUCED in, but the victim
failed to see where the laugh came in,
or understand the prevalent opinion.
that lit was a dead give away" He is
having his revenge. however, for since
that time no gentleman who wants to
treat a lady friend to a drive will hire
that particular horse. notwithstanding
that the animal is one of the best and
gayest steeds in town.

Mr.. Durand. a gentleman residing in
the western portion-of the town, met
with "A strange and unaccouutable ad-
venture while on his way homeward
Wednesday night. 1t was intensely
dark, and he was carrying a lantern
to guide his footsteps, and had reached
a point on the hillside, just above the
MetamOras furnace, when he was
startled by the report OF a pistol, the
noise of breaking glass and the extIn
gui>hment of his light. He lnvolun-
tarily halted and listened, but could
hear no noise, nor was he further mo
Tested. On reaching his residence and
examining The lantern, he found that
the glass had been shattered by a bull
let, presumably, there being no other
way to accoun for its breaksge. He
is at a loss as to the cause of the shot,
or intention of the party who fired it,
not knowing of any one who bears him
a sufficient grudge to impel them to
assassinate him. The affair is envel
oped in mystery, and the problem will
probably 70 unsolved.

We take occasion to remind the la.
dies that to day is the time set for that
grand auction sale Of feminine fur.
nishing goods, underwear, etc., and
that the locality of the vendue is at NJ
David's stone store, on South Main
street. Geo. A. Davis, the presiding
genius of the event, and a gentleman
ver>ed in all the mysteries of the fe-
male costume, assures us on his hon
or that the articles offered are of the
latest style, and best material, and that
bargains are to be had. George A. has
been reading M Hdrpe3'S Bazaar
DemOreSt'S Monthly, and other prom
inent fashion magazines, and is pre-.
pared to discourse learnedly and accu
rately on all the points involved. He
extends a general invitation to the fail
sex to be present at the auction, an6
will endeavor to please them both
with the rarity, and eligibility of the
selections.
