Baseball ut Dayton.

A lively game of baseball was
played at Dayton last Saturday be-
tween the Dayton and Sutro clubs,
in which the former won by score
of 3S to 30. The Sutro boys, with.
out cause, are ashamed to come up
with their score. They were white.
washed twice, but in the last inning
made a score of 10. The game
woke up the sleepy people of Dayton
from that lethargy which prevails
among the inhabitants of that charm
ing town on the banks of the raging
Carson. In the evening ball was
given to the vanquished club which
is described as being an affair in
comparison to which one of Gov
ernor Kinkead's levees would pale
into insignificance! Another game
shortly.

JOURNALISTIC BANQUET.

How the Newspaper Men Honor
the Legislators Whs Didn't "Fsll
Down."
Sunday evening a banquet was
given by the journalistic and typo.
graphical fraternity of Virginia City
TO Messrs. Harlow, Stewart, and Ly-
ons in honor of the good record
which these gentlemen made on
the railroad legislation in the last
Legislature. The feast was spread
in the French Rotisserie, in Vir-
ginia City. Some fifty persons
participated, all OF whom, with the
exception of Hons. Gibson, CASTOR,
and Harnna, we're connected with
the press. The Hon. Mr.. Shultz,
the only remaining member of the
Storey county Legislative delega-
ton who did not "fall down" to
the "sack," was absent, being out

tended the TIMES reporter an invi-
tation to participate, saying, "You
must not expect very grand lay
out. We will have key Of beer,
a case of claret, some cigars, and
perhaps cold snack" Not for a
moment questioning his reputation
for veracity, and not doubling the
standard of his voracity, it was a
great surprise to see the tables as
late as 8 O'clock in the evening
grooming under the weight of the
best of everything that the market
afforded. Drury apologized for the
deception practiced by explaining
that he had only aimed to give
Sam Davis an opportunity to graft.

ARTICHoKEs. The testimony in
favor of the artichokes as food for
hogc is too ample for amy doubt
about it. 1t will grow to advantage
ON almost any kind Of soil. 1t is
cultivated extensively in the west
where corn is often grown for 20
cents per bushel. The hogs are turn
ed in to harvest it for themselves. -
1t can be planted in the spring or
fall. The spring is the time. But
if the ground is broken up and the
large tubers are cut like potatoes and
planted or small ones planted whole,
they will come up regularly in the
spring and should be plOwed and
worked like Young corn. Two plow-
ings will answer for the crop. Plant
in hills 3 feet by 3 or 10 drills % feet
between the rows and 2 feet apart in
the rows. The yield, on pretty good
land, is from 500 to $50 bushels -
Some western farmers say they will
fatteu hogs without particle Of
other food but the usual plan is tc
add corn for short time before kill
ing.

That an offensive war against the

That hay is great deal cheaper

That scrimpiDg the feed Of faten~

That educating children properly

slowly and becomes hard ike a
glazed surface not easily affected af-

But in very hot weather the oil in

once as If into a sponge, leaving the
lead nearly dry, and ready to crum>
bic off. This last difficulty, bow,
ever, might in measure be guarded
against, though at an increase of OK

face with raw oil. Furthermore, by
painting in cold weather the annoy
ance Of small flies, which invariably
collect during the warm season on
fresh paint, is avoided. AS an eff
set to this, there is trouble with
slow drying paint--it is the dust
which will always collect6upon ex-
posed surfaces, will keep collecting
as long as the paint is not dry, and
stick to it, so that to obtain a smooth
surface, free from adheriug dust, it
is necessary to secure quick drying

Sad Accident.

We are panied to learn of the
sad accident which occurred at the
lumber camp of John Thompson,
on Friday night last, which result
ed in the death of Mrs. Thompson.
1t seems that Mr.. Thompson is
running a lumber camp on Wolff
Creek, and he had his family with
him. On Tuesday last, the chore
boy, without the knowledge OF
Thompson, took the latter's gun,
went out hunting, and when he
returned, he put the gun back in
its place, loaded and the hammer
cooked. Thompson, not knowing
that the gun had been used, and
always being in the habit of put
ting the weapon away in an empty
condition, took the gun down on
Friday night about nine o'clock,
for the purpose of cleaning it out,
intending to go hunting next morn
ing. By some means, when he was
taking the gun from its place, the
gun was discharged, the ball strih-
ing Mrs. Thompson, who was at
her work in the sbanty, in the left
elbow, passing through and in
to the left side, not far below the
heart. A messenger was at once
dispatched for DR.. Maiden, but
Mrs. Thompson was beyond all
medical aid, and died about six hours
after the accident. The remains
were brought to this city on Sun
day, an inquest held, and q YER
dict Of accidental shooting render
ed. The funeral took place from
the Congregation church on Mon
day afternoon. She leaves hus-
band and four children.
There being several men in town
named John Thompson, we deem
it proper to state that the wife Of
this Thompson, was, before her
marriage, Miss Sarah Boyd.

edy Of "Wives and Sweethearts,"
and the farce "Irish Assurance"
was acted at the Opera House for
the third time. Notwithstanding
that the audience was somewhat
small as regards numbers, the men,
bers of the Dramatic Club per-
formed their parts admirably, and
the audience appeared as if they
were well satisfied with their even
ing's amusement. The general i'm
preston seems to he that the bene-
fit entertainment should not have
been given until after the Christ
mas holidays. Considerable amuse-
ment was created by something
that was not down in the books.
