The GAINESVILLE Bonanza says that a
baseball match was played between the
above named clubs, on the 9Th, for ball,
bats and coin. Both mines belong to
Grantsville. Numerous spectators gathered
to witness the game, the interest becoming
more and more intense as 1t progressed.
Most of the players were badly u of
practice and the score ran high for the first
1--WE innings on both sides. During the
fourth innings the catcher for the Miners
met with a severe accident-a foul ball
from the bat struck him in the face and
closed one Of his orbs, and in he fifth in
ming their pitcher, while attempting to
take a fly ball, caught it squarely on the
nose. These accidents ended the game, as
the Miners had now two of their best men
disabled. The game will be resumed at
0 as these injured players have sufi'
GENTLY recovered.

Virginia Enterprise: Colonel s. T.
Curtis will leave this evening for Moke-
lumne Hill, California. to examine some
mining property for Eastern parties. He
complains bitterly Of the manner in which
some owners Of prospects" lie about their
property /; lie from the word go and till
within a rod of their dump piles. The
Colonel is just in from the Walker River
country, whittier he went to see a mine
men. According to the mans story, he
had on his dump 1000 tons of ore that
would assay $50 per ton, an immense ledge
and plenty Of the same kind Of ore in
sight in all directions. The fellow stuck
to this story all the way up from San Fran
cisco and out to the NINE. Even when at
the terminus OF the Carson and Colorado
Railroad, he assured the Colonel that the
mine was all right "indeed," said he,
lit is fifty per cent better than have rep
resented it," When the mine was finally
reached the ore on the dump did not
amount to three wheelbarrow loads. The
vein had been cut through and showed
nothing, and no such work was to be found
as had been described. Colonel Osbiston
recently made a similar wild-goose chase
out into the eastern part Of the State. He
told his man in the start that he hoped he
was giving a truthful account Of his mine
that it would be useless for him to lie
about it and cause him to spend time and
money in going to inspect his property.
The fellow stoutly asserted that all he had
said was true and the half had not yet been
told, yet he found about such a mine as
did Colonel Curtis. If ~prospectors expect
to get credit for what they really have,
they should give a fair and square account
Of their property.

The d Night.

Night before last was the coolest night
we have had the past Winter, as far as we
know from the records we have at hand.
At 10 p. NJ. the thermometer indicated a
temperature OF rs degrees. At 10 mid
night 1t had lowered to 20 degrees, and at 8
A. M. it was reduced to II degrees. The
cold wave appears to be general, and has
struck California almost as violently as il
has Nevada. In this State, however, we
believe but very little damage has been
done, except to stock in exposed places,
SO far we have not heard OF any loss
Coming in the very lap Of Spring, when
sunshine should impart life into vegeta'
ton, makes the Oldest inhabitant shake his
head and say he never saw the like OF II

Henry Michael, of the well-known whole
sale and retail liquor house of W. J.
Tonkin & Co., left yesterday morning for
the Bay to replenish their present reduced
stock Of liquors and cigars. Mike, as he
is familiarly called, will purchase in San

finest stock Of imported wines and liquors
ever introduced into Eastern Nevada.
Being first-class connoisseur, the patrons

Although 10 public exercises were held,
the anniversary Of Ireland's Patron Saint
was observed by our Irish fellow citizens
yesterday as a holiday. In the eveningthe
ball for the benefit Of the Land League
fund, at the Opera House, was largely at
tended by as happy and merry a throng as
has ever been gathered within the build
ing. Many Of the decorations from the
Knights Of Pythias ball remained, and to
these were added numerous little banners,
while the front part Of the stage was
draped with the Stars and Stripes and the
emblem Of Erin. A forest scene Of luxu-
RANT green made a beautiful background,
which wal arranged in a way that gave it a
pleasing perspective. Many OF the ladies
wore green ribbons about their toilets,
while the gentlemen adopted the typical
necktie. Among the latter we observed
DR.. Bishop as the most conspicuous Irish
man on the floor. The music was by RE
gelhuth d Comes band, and was accepta-
BILE throughout. The ball was a success in
every way. and the Eureka Branch Of the
Land League will have a handsome sum to
contribute to the main fund.

Cold weather and Crops.

From nearly all portions of the State.
says the San Francisco Examiner, come re-
ports of damage to the growing fruit crops
by the recent frosts. In the counties OF
Colusa, Napa, San joaquin, Amador,
Butte. Santa Cruz and Yuba the loss from
this cause will be heavy, as the blossoms
in many localities were killed. Snow has
fallen on the mountains as far south as
Santa Barbara, and the coolest weather of
the season in California has been exper-
fenced during the last four days. The
wheat crop has not suffered, and there are
now good prospects Of a bountiful yield OF
this important cereal.

Bridging the Chasm.

The ex-confederate soldiers have an or
ganization on a basis similar to that of the
Grand Army, and have extended an invita-
ton to the Army of the Cumberland to hold
grand reunion at Chattanooga in Septem-
Der. The invitation is understood to be the
result OF pretty general understanding and
approval of southern ex-soldiers. This
opens the way for determination of the
blue and gray, which, if well improved, can
hardly fail to promote feelings of national
ity, loyalty and brotherhood, which need to
be nourished. The war is a thing of the
past and if the enmities engendered by it
have not lost their force, there are many
reasons why such occasions as these should
be improved to soften lingering asperities
between the sections as such. Mr.. Schurz,
in the Evening Post, has these pertinent
comments on this movement. "Northern
men will learn there, if they do not already
know it, that although there are dangerous
elements in southern society, yet the major
ity OF the southern people are by no means
engaged in shooting negroes and ostracizing
republicans. And southern men will learn
that although there are in the north extreme
partizans who are fond of using southern
outrages as political capital, yet an over
whelming majority of the northern people
think of the people of the south as their
countrymen, have not the least desire to OPP
press them and cordially wish them every
possible prosperity and happiness. We hope
the reunion of federal and confederate SOL
diers will be as large and enthusiastic as it
now promises to be, and it has, no doubt,
the hearty commentator Of all patriotic
citizens"

Destructive Fire In Ouebec.

Quebec has been often afflicted with disastrous
fires, but the climax was reached Wednesday
night Of last week, when an alarm was sounded
In the lower part Of the town. Like the Chicago
fire, 1t originated in a stable In the viler part OF
the town. The flames spread with wonderful
celebrity, and for some time were absolutely un-
checked, as the fire department could not work
for lack of water. The water supply OF the city
seems to be inadequate for city of It's size, and
worse still, 1t can be let on In only one section at
time In this case half an hour or more was lost
in changing the current to the burning district
Meanwhile the sparks which everywhere flew
from the burning wooden buildings were a ter
rible source of danger to the rest OF the city The
wind being from the north. drove the flames rap
idly In the direction of St Johns church, an old
but pecuniariy and historically valuable one,
which was burned. The rush Of cold air caused
by the rapid spread and large volume of the
flames seemed TO divide the wind into local cur
rents, which scattered the fire around in every d.
rection, and the fire brigade found 1t more un-
manageable than ever. OF course the thieves
seized the opportunity to plumber at will. 1t is
impossible to describe the spread of the flames on
every side. Suffice 1t to say, the confagration
Is worthy to rank In destructiveness with those Of
Portland, Boston and Chicago. taking into con-
sideration the relative size. So far as known
only five lives were lost, but hundreds Of poor
people were driven to seek shelter In tents outside
the city. Money and provisions were promptly
forwarded to relieve the necessities OF the people.
1t Is impossible at present to estimate the loss or
amount of insurance.

The New Hampshire Senatorship,

The New Hampshire senate having asked
the supreme court of that state for its
opinion as to the legality of an election by
the legislature now in session of successor
to Senator Rollins whose term expires
March 4, 1888, the court expresses the
opinion that the present legislature is the
one contemplated by the act of congress
prescribing the time when state legislatures
shall elect United States senators. Section
fourteen of the Revised Statutes of the
United States provides that senator shall
be elected by legislature which is chosen
next preceding the beginning of senatorial
term. The court argues upon the constitu-
tional right of state to be represented in
the senate by two senators chosen by its
Legislature for six years. The primary right
of the state is to be represented for six years,
not for five years and nine months or any
other part of full term. The next legisa-
1883, cannot elect senator for the full term
of six years beginning March 4, 1888, and
therefore the refusal Of the present legisla-
ture to elect a senator for that term would
be violation of the constitutional right of
the state to be represented by two senators,
"chosen by the legislature thereof for six
years. The court, following clearly settled
rules of Interpretation, arrives at the conclu-
sion that the language OF the act of congress
fixing the time for the election of senator's
by the legislature which is chosen next pre-
ceding the beginning of senatorial term
means legislature competent to perform
the duty of maintaining the state right by
electing senator for the full term, and not
a legislature incapable of performing that
duty. The democratic members of the
legislature and few republicans hostile to
Mr.. Rollins reelection have combined to
prevent the election Of a senator by this
legislature. Mr. Rollins prefers to take his
chances of reelection with the present
legislature on the principle that ga bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush" His
senatorial "bird," now in hand, in June,
1888, might be enjoying the freedom of the
" BUSH"

but re-asserts and enlarges the statement to the
extent that many farmers think such an educa-
