NEW GOODS AT BDSkO'S


Frank B,skowitz, the little giant of the
Carson clothing trade, has just come up from
San Francisco where he has purchased an ex-
traordinarily large stock of goods for this
market. For the past three days the side
walk in front of his establishment has been
literally blocked with large cases of new goods
He has just unpacked the largest stock of
every variety of hats that was ever offered to
the people of this city. His spring and sum-
mer clothing is of the latest pattern and style
Bosko appreciates the fact of the scarcity OF
money, and has accordingly marked the prices
of his goods so that they are within the reach
of the humblest When clothing, hats, etc
can be purchased at such low figures as they
are now sold at that house. there is no reason
for any one to GO otherwise than well dressed.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

A fatal accident occurred in the wood
camps near Franktown on Wednesday eve
ming last, by log rolling from the hill into
narrow canyon in which three wood chop
pers were employed. Two of the number
saw the danger, and cried to the third to pro-
tect himself, which he thought of doing by
jumping to one side; but just as he did so,
the log struck the base of the hill, rebounded
and hit him violently in the small of the
back, which produced almost instant death.
The name of the deceased was A. McCregor.
aged 26 years, unmarried, and native of
Ontario. He was buried from the Arlington
house yesterday, and his funeral vas largely

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Nest.

From the EIilNbelh N. j. journal
Recently humming.brd's nest was found
by some persons who had sufficient natural
curiosity to overcome their compassion, and
who captured The nest, two young hummers
aud the old 're, took them home and had
them stuffed. These are to be sent to a
museum of neural curiositios in London. Tho
nest is built on y little twig, and scarcely tho
size of half an English walnut Both nest and
twig are covered with little patches of lichen
until it is almost impossible to tell one from
the other, aud the nest looks like kind of
natural eXcrescence on the twig The nest is
pliablc, like tiny cover of velvet, and tho
inside is lined with white substance, ms rich
and soft as white silk. The little birds are
about the size OF bumble.bees, very pretty, and
they sit on little perch just outside the nest,
with open bills, while the old bird hoyers
over them to feed them.
