TIE CoMsTccK WALKING MATCH
the last two years Virginia City has been
taken in most outraglously by those popular
swindling exhibitions, known as walking
matches Time and time again have the
newspapers exposed the true inwardness of
the jobs, and in some cases it seemed as if
the perpetrators of the humbugs would have
hard work getting out of town with whole
skins. The enraged Comstockers cursed and
raved for day or so and then just as soon a.
. new gang of sawdust Founders came along
they would rush to the hall again and remark:
" Now this il the true business" There is q
walking match now in progress at Pipsrs
Opera House in which the slowest time ever
made on track is recorded and it issdraxing
large crowds. Next week the accounts in the

THE GRAND JURY'S REPORT.

kANps soMs IMPROVEMENTS IN ran
COURT HOssH.

In the District Court of the Second JUDI
cial District in and for Ormsby county, Ne
yada-Hon. s. .. King, Judge
The Grand Jury empaneled and instructed
by His Honor, s. D. King, Judge of said
district, on the 9Th day November, A. d.
1879, have inquired into all matters brought
before them, and respectfully submit their
report and ask to be discharged on this
9th day of December A d. 1879.
During session of seven days the GRAND
Jury has found nine true bills of indict
ment, to wit:
Two for keeping opium dens.
Three for burglary.
One for grand larceny.
Three for smoking opium III opiara dens,
and have ignored one bill for attempt to
rape, and also charge for ulanslanghter.
1t being near the financial business OF
the year 1879, the Grand Jury have not
deemed it a proper time to examine into
the affairs of the county, but have left the
same for the succeeding Grand Jury,
which will be convened after all settlements
have been concluded, and their labors
thereby greatly reduced and simplifed
In conclusion of this our report We
would earnestly recommend the Board of
County Commissioners of Ormsby county
to take some early measures for the safety
of our county records, and for the comfort
and convenience of the officers who are
to occupy this unsghtly struc-
ture, called Court house, either by max
ing extensive repairs or Substituting new
building therefor Respectfully submitted |

STOCKS.

The IN arket opened weak yesterday ana
would have gone to pieces except for the sup
port given it by Union and Mexican. The
water stocks were groggy. In the second
session Ophir rose to 24s under a sharp de
mand, and Union Con. and Sierra Nevada
we're sustained at previous figures. Aside frer
the break in Yellow Jacket and Crown Point
prices for other stocks were not materially
changed. The transactions in all the leading
stocks were heavy.
After the board there was a general decline

lowing from the C.rOhstele shows that there is

Thi. morning the treasure house of the north
end-that is, the 2400 level of the Union Con-
soldated mine-was submitted to the inspec-
ten of Robert N. Graves and William b.

They report that the easterly crosscnt on the

tinued nearly 20 feet further, and now shows
a clear width of ~ feet of fne ore. Stopping

main drift, from the Sierra Nevada line south
ward Mr. Graves says the mine looks much
better that he expected to 6nd it, at is an
immense improvement over the 2200 level"
he remarked, "and if the next level below
shows a continuance of improvement in the
same ratio, everybody will have good reason
to be happy"

TuE GALE.-During the past forty eight
hoUrs Carson has been visited by AN I'M
precedentedly hard blow. Most all these
heavy winds come under the general head of
"unprecedently hard" ones. This is simply
because the present is more visibly impressed
on our minds than the past A lick in the
nose feels good deal worse at this time than
We imagine harder blow felt four years
ago. Notwithstanding all these facts the
recent wind was hard one, and it seemed as
if that during the last month the old Sierras
were boarding up their treasures of wind and
storm to hurl them upon us simultaneously.
Frame houses rocked until it seemed as if
they would certainly come to pieces and
in some portions of the city the trees were 80
lashed by the wind that many of the branches
we're carried away and some were broken
which were six inches in thickness Movable
goods along the sidewalks were in many
instances carried along to the next block and
a hardware man went so far as to chain an
anvil to a post claiming that he thought the
wind might blow it away i'll the night. Yes
terday there was a COED stiff breeze all day
but the back bone of the tempest seemed dis
located.

made out by the State, showing that the
shooting was done without any mitigating cir

was in the room at the time of the killing was
not put on the stand because the prosecution
conld place no confidence in her. At the in
quest her testimony against Pritchard was
very strong, but at the preliminary e1amin
alton she was disposed to take everything
back and shield the accused. The defense will

THE CHILDRRNs' Psi, 1t is related that
Jay Gould once purchased a lot of cattle and
noticing one that the owners we're anxious to
keep, made a more careful examination of it
and aseertained that the farmers wife wanted
to retain it because it was pet of hers and
the childrens The COW was called cold
Pailful." Gould then determined to have it,
and it was at last included in the bargain.
When he got it heme, however, he ascer-
tanned that it didn't give over pint of milk,
and would kick a stable to pieces in three
minutes. The other day Carson man pur-
chased a horse of one of our valley agricul.
turists and he had hard work getting the
farmer to part with it, because it vas pet of
the childrens. This made the Carson man all
the more anxious to secure it, and he paid
$500 for the " childrens' pet" Yesterday
while attempting to harness it it kicked the
stall to pieces, bit the owner in the shoulder
and chased him out of his yard. He has since
aseertained that the animal was so vicious
that it took four men to get harness on him.
He now thinks that sleek Nevada rancher is
about the smoothest old humbug e1tant.
THE Az FAIrs.-The question as 70 whether |
the A Fdtt parties will be held in Moore's |
Old Theater or in the New Opera House is
now under discussion. 1t has been finally left |
to the Executive Committee. 1t has been
decided to do away entirely with the e1pen-
sive and indigsstible suppers which we're
served at midnight. These snppers are the
orofoundest nuisance which long suffering
pleasure seekers are called upon to endure at
fashionable balls. About midnight trouble
begins when dancers are obliged to break en-
,agements In order to eat, and the rows re.
ulting from Misunderstanding and mistakes
end half the crowd home in anything but
pleasant state Of mind. Then there is a rather
lisagreeable feature which appears in the
hape of men who get the most eligible seats
t the first table and remain until the last
'iece Of tough chicken disappears two hours
ater. The suppers are charged at about .
hree or four times their value and some t
aterer makes q handsome thing. A bowl of Z
smonade in one corner and few sandwiches
ught to be quite sufficient for all gastronom- 8
al requirements. II

THE POTTER COMMITTEE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. lathe Potter committee
to-day examined J. Henri Birch, Presidential
elector at large of Louisiana. His testimony
was to the effect that he signed the second set
of certificates, having been advised there was
an informally in the first set. He knew moth
ing of the forgery of signatures except what he
learned from the newspa GERS and conversation.
Kelly q witness Saturday, was recalled, and
after much pressure stated positively the name
of Jeffrion was forged, but was not quite so
sure to tnat of Levisee.
Witness testified that the name of Jefrion
was forged by D. S. Blanchard, a clerk in the
Governors Office. None but the witness and
Blanchard were present at the time.
By Cox-Did anybody approach you as to the
character of the evidence you should give be-
fore this committee.
Answer. l was approached once by a gentle
man named Maddox. He was introduced to me
by Col. George W. Carter, ana said he came in
the interest of the committee or from the COM
mittee. He came to the place where l was
stopping, aud had conversation with me, the
purport of which was that he was employed by
high authority from this committee to ascertain
what nv testimony would be. He offered
an inducement for me to testify that no ques-
tions should be asked to injure me or any of
nv friends. The object of the committee was,
he said, to make political capital for Tilden
AGAINST Thurman. AS a further inducement
to testify was told could go OH consider
able dist lnce, even to San Francisco, and could
then be summoned back, proftirg by mileage.
Witness was. examined at considerable length

things, that Blanchard, who committed the
forgery of the name to the certificate, is dead
Gen. Butler-You say that Blanchard not
only had an opportunity to forge the signature
alone without being seen, but he called you to
witness it, asking, How is that for high?'
