A GOOD LADY VISITING US.

A member of the Grand Army of the Re-
whom everybody has heard, arrived in our
city yesterday, and is temporarily stopping at
the Orphans Home. During the rebellion
Mother Byckerdike was at the head of the
Ladies' Sanitary Commission in the Field"
and was in charge of the field hospitals of the
Union Army of the Southwest Many poor
fellow went to his long home with her moth
erly hand supporting his head, and her kind
eyes watching his last breath, Her kind acts
during the dark days of this country and since
the close of the war, would fill volume.
Mother Byckerdike, as she is Familiarity
Gale, was with General Sherman in his
March to the Sea-" and rendered invaluable
services on that march. This lady is now
about so years of age, and her hsme is at
Galesburg, Illinois, but recently she came to
this coast to recuperate her impaired health
Even during the short time that she has been
here she has had ample opportunity of giving
practical evidence of her Kindness of heart
After the Reno fire, learning that there was
mulch sickness in that town from exposure
aud excitement, she hurried thither, nursing
the sick without price or pay. Such women
are certainly entitled to the honor and es-
teem of all mankind. The old lady will
surely receive a warm welcome from the SOL
der boys of the Union army wherever she
goes. John I. Pantlind, of the Ormsby,
who is an old soldier, has expressed the de-
sire that Mother Byckerdike should stop at
his house, where suite of rooms will be |
placed at her disposal as long as it may suit
her pleasure to remain. And that is right. |

AN OLD STORY REVIVED.

Some years ago a sensational paragraph, to
| the purport that the Bowers Mansion was
haunted, went the rounds of the press of this
State, 3 story firmly beloved in by spiritual
lists and other superstitious people. Two
young men of this city city are bent upon re-
viving this old story. They had occasion to
visit Washoe Valley last Saturday and slept
at Bowers Mansion that night, occupying
separate rooms. One of the men was reading
in bed by lamplight until IL o'clock when his
lamp was extinguished, as if blown ont by
human breath. He struck match and re-
lighted the lamp, but the light was imme
diately blown out in similar manner This
somewhat frightened the young man, and he
called to His friend who was asleep in an ad-
joining room. The called one was awakened
and proceeded to light the lamp in his room,
but it had not been lighted more than few
moments before it met the same fate of that
of his neighbor. At this juncture both of
the men swore that the house was haunted
and that nothing on earth would induce them
to remain there over night So they hastily
dressed themselves, left the building and
wandered about the grounds until early MORN
ing, discussing their strange adventure. Be-
fore leaving they related their nocturnal ex-
perience to some other parties, and the young
men came home fully convinced that there
were ghosts in that out of the way building.
The following night three young men of
Franktown, so it is related, determined to test
the ghost story, slept in the same room occu-
pied by the Carsonites. Between IL and IL
0 clock that night the same trouble was en-
with the lights as on the night be-
fore. These men, however, did not leave the
building, bat rather set about to investigate
the mystery, which was soon solved by find
ing the upper window sashes lowered, in the
rooms occupied by them, through which
strong draught came generally at that time of
night-strong enough to blow out any light,
but which was otherwise not noticeable So
this explains another ghost story, and great
is spoiled.

THE CALLISON SUIT.

At last this suit, which has engaged the at
tention of the United States Circuit Court
during the past two or three terms, has been
decided. The decision rendered was in favor
of the plaintiffs, the Mount Diablo Mining
Company. The property involved IN this
suit is located in Esmeralda county, and is
considered very valuable The Callison
Brothers, against whom the suit was decided,
were the discoveries and locators of the prop
erty (the Denuro mine), which was taken from
them by law, and up to the moment that the
decision of the Court was made public they
felt confident of winning the suit, so that their
disappointment is much greater, which is
great indeed. 1t is too bad, but the law is
firm and memorable.

A CRACKED BELL MADE WHOLE.

A CRACKED BELL MADE WHOLE - The
cracked bell which has so long been sending
forth its doleful sounds to Sunday worshipers,
from the Episcopal tower, has at last been re-
stored to its original sweetness of sound, by
the skillful hand of Mr.. Joseph, irwin, the
foreman of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad
shops. Yesterday it was hung up and tested,
and no longer will our. Episcopal frieads be
called to prayer by the croaking sound of a
cracked bell, but by the, clear and ringing
tones of the sweetest church bell IN Carson.

evidences of his somewhat limited abilities in
his peculiar profession, to the infinite delight

THE HIGHWAY ROBBERY CASE.
THE DEFENDANTS DISCHARGED.

The preliminary examination of Nose
Watkins and John Mcguire, charged with
having committed highway robbery between
shis city and Empire on the 14th, came up
before Judge Cary yesterday. The defend
ants are very respectable looking young men,
neither Of, them much past the age of matur-
ity. When they we're brought into court,
the constant hsbitue of that temple of Justice
was surprised to see, in place of two blear-
eyed, murderous looking wretches, two quite
handsome boys, either of whom looked more
~. If theirsdesire was to spin top or play a
game of marbles than to commit highway
robbery, The first witness called was John
Furlong, one of the victims of the robbery.
He testified substantially to the same facts
that were reported in these columns on the
day after the robbery was committed. He
failed to recognize either of the defendants as
the men who despoiledn him of his luore.
The next witness was All Quong, who, with
the aid of an interpreter, corroborated the
testimony of, the first witness, As nothing
could be elected in the evidence to fasten the
guilt OF the robbery upon Watkins and Ma
guire, District Attorney Driesbach requested
the Court to discharge the prisoners,
and they, are now again breathing the
pure air of free men. After their discharge
the young men were surrounded by a large
aumber of friends, who congratulated them
upon their release. The defense was con-
Quoted by General T.. D. Edwards, and the
prosecution by the District Attorney, assisted
by Judge Wells. During the trial there was
, little legal sparrIng between General Ed
wards and Judge Wells upon the admissible
ity of Chinese evidence in criminal cases
where a white man was the defendant. The
SQUIRT ruled that in the foregoing case it would
admit the evidence of the Chinaman who was
xobbed. This is very 6ne point in law
which has not yet been passed upon by the
9upreme Court of this State.

Doc PoIsoNING.--Night before last some
miscreant poisoned four valuable dogs in this
city. If the scoundrel would confine himself
to the determination of dogs relatively as
worthless as he is himself, he would be doing
the community service; but to kill good
animals is dastardly act worthy of no being
that wishes to be called man. If the fellow
is caught in the practice of his cowardly past
time, he may get into very serious difficulty.
A RUNAwAY.-Last evening two horses at
tached to a blackboard belonging to J. NJ
Benton, on which he carries the mail from

The Weathersby box shet will be opened to-
day to enable those who wish to attend a
splendid, mirth- provoking entertainment to
reserve seats. For refined, side splitting fun
this troupe is incompatible. 1t surely must

Their performances are elegant and chaste
APES AMERGCANs.--It is stated that All
Chouey, the condemned Chinese murderer at
Reno believes that by assuming American
airs and customs he can escape the CHASTITY
fate which stares him in his Oriental mug.
The trouble is that he aped one American
trick too much, therefore must swing.
The WEArRER.-The weather continues
during the day like the humor of some of the
fair sex. Sometimes it is all sunshine and
the next moment it threatens to rain and
snow.
MORE Snow WANTED. Woodmen say that
they want more snow in the mountains to en-
able them to float their wood down during
the coming spring and summer.
