Nevada Fishes with Names

From the Virginia City Enterprise.
Among the most peculiar and
least known fish OF Nevada is the
couewee, found only in Pyramid and
Winnemucca lakes. One of the
most striking peculiarities is name
extending along the back from head
to tail, which renders the creature
so unsightly that it is always shear
ed by the fishermen before being
sent to market. They swim at the
surface of the water, and in the ear
ly days assembled the river in i'm
mense schools that filled the river
from bank to bank. They make
a great noise when thus going up
the river, and can be heard at a con-
siderable distance from the stream.
In the spring of 1860, at the time of
the Indian war, they stampeded the
horses of company of soldiers
camped on the bank of the stream,
and came near causing panic, it
being supposed that the Piutes were
charging upon the camp.

senting the "Creole" this evening In Corin
THAN Academy, u shooting accident hap
pened which at first brought to the minds or
all present the late tragedy of Frank

volver with blank cartridge in the hands of
Arthur II. Forest was accidentally dis
charged, inllictne n severe flesh wound on
the left side Of Miss Spcncer's face.
Il will be remembered Chat she as Cora,
the creole, lie mistress Of George
DthdDiei, a character taken by Forest In
the couse Of the first act she declares her
intention Of running away with Victor
Mdzilicr, whom Duhdnael threatens to shoot.
He draws his revolver, which she seizes, and
a desperate struggle follows. Ordinarily he
hurls her from him, and, as she leaves the
stage, he shoots at her Tonight IN the
struggle the revolver was accidently dis
charged while In close proximity to hcr face
She fell TO the floor screaming and the audi
ence thought that all OF this was IN the play,
but when Forest bent over and exclaimed" "0h
my God what have / done, " and ordered the
curtain TO drop, all present knew something
serious had happened. Considerable com
motion resulted, but II was soon announced
that, though Miss Spencer was not seri-
ously injured, she would be unable to pro-
ceed In the play. She tainted, and medical
aid was called. 1t was, however, found
that she had received merely flesh wound.
1t spread like wild Bre that murder had
been committed, and 1t was a long time be-
fore the crowd finally dispersed from in

Hon. James II. Plat, formerly OF Peters
burgh, Va, now Of Garden City, l.. l., has
been on the stump in his old district in favor
of the reelection of Mr.. Dezendorf the pres
ent Republican representative of the district.
The Norfolk, Va, Ledger says of n recent
speech of his, in Southampton county Mr..
Plat said it was true that one year ago he
advised Republicans TO support the liberal
movement. Under the same circumstances
he would repeat that advice, but this was a
National, not State or local contest. He
was for the practical in politics when il did
not conflict with principle, and II was the
duty of the Republicans of this district, he
said, TO fcbuke in the most emphatic way
the mistake made by the Administration and
General Malone, in refusing TO accord their
accredited representative the same considcra-
| ton extended TO every other Republican
representative 10 the United States, and to
do This in the effective way by sending him
back to the next Congress by an increased
majority.
| Mr. Platt's speech pr,ducel AN effect
which can not be overcome or cffaccd by any
effort which Mr.. Spalding's influence can
bring to bear, or destroyed by all the pat
rOnagc Of the Administration. 1t will solid
| ify the vote of the Republicans of the dis.
trict in favor Of Mr. DeZendorf and make it
impossible for the Readjuster candidate TO
draw any large number of votes from the
| Republican strength.
