The Farce on the Fourth.

EDITOR iIMEs:-Having read The
big puts and advertiseme Is about
the big procession that was to take
place on the Fourth in the city on
the hill side irginis), concluded
to pay the place visit with the view
Of taking look at the e'.phant.
Well, after seeing the ANNA must
beast that have seen on exhibition
for q long time. the diminutive
Jumbo consisted of three small mil
itary companies, car of State and
dozen OF two sorrowful looking min
ers, whose c0un ienances indicated
that they would willingly immigrate
If they had chance. The process
sion, if 1t can be called such, was in
no way creditsbie to Virginia, as it
only added another link to the strong
chain of circumstantial evidence that
has proven beyond doubt that the
camp has gone where the woodbine
twineth. The streets were profusely
decorated with The emblems OF Uncle
SAN, and the town was filed with
people from Reno, Carson, Dayton
and Sutro, who went up with the
expectation of Witnessing Q grand
affair, but alas for human imsgins-
ton, they were doomed to dissp.
pointment, for the Fourth Of July
procession OF 1883 was without doubt
the poorest affair of the kind that
has ever taken place on the Com.
stock. A large number Of people
must have left Virginia within the
last five years, for the place does not
contain quarter rs many inhabitants
now as II did in the prosperous days
of the big bonanzas. do not know
but they have followed the example
of the Arabs, by folding their tents,
etc /; but it Is clearly evident that
they have silently stolen away.

Fights ON the Fourth.

On the morning of the Fourth old
man Pinschower and Senator John
Walker had some words about a
mule that belonged to the first men
toned party. After considerable
loud talk and swearing Pinschower
called the Senator crooked-eyed
liar. and after declaring that he "was
not much count this morning."
Johnny made grab for the old
mans ear Pinschower was too spry
for him, however, and Jumping to
one side caught his adverary's head
under his arm and wass putin ont
to he in good shape, cousin Jack
would say, when the deputy sheriff,
who is always interfering when there
is any amusement going on, stepped
in and arrested the combatants.
They were lugged off to Jail, but
were fortunate enough to get bail,
aud the next day after having a hear
ing were discharged. Pinschower
says that "dot crooked eyed liddIe
johnny Valkey vos find id pretty
qvick oud dot he hat de bulls wrong
horn holt Ov."
On the evening Of the Fourth q
little disturbance occurred h. one Of
the saloons. One Of the boys became
q little hilarious while celebrating
and hsyiog y few words with some
parties started in to make things live
iy for the crowd. He succeeded very
well until the sheriff aud his deputy
arrived, when order WAS res ored.
While trying to queil the disturbance
sheriff Randall received a blow on
the side OF the face that knocked
him down, but he was on his feet
again in minute and quickly had
things quoted. George was unfortu-
nate, rs he was the only one in the
crowd who got u scratch.

The Headlight.

The winze in the Headlight mine,
of Como, which is being sunk in the
center of the ledge, has now reached
a depth of 81 feet from the level of
the tunnel. The ledge continues to
be strong and we'll defined aud the
quartz is almost entirely free from
waste, which goes to show that depth
is all that is needed to make the
Headlight q paying proposition.

The CANYON RoAD.-Persons living
IN the vicinity of the road running
through the big canyon in the southern
part of this county, are complaining
that the road is getting out of repair
and becoming impossible, and in con-
sequence of plank breaking on the
bridges is absolutely dangerous to pub
lie travel. Since the judgment of the
Circuit Court forfsitins the charter of
the road company, there has been no
work on this piece of road, some ten
miles i'll extent through lonely can
yon. This road having been kept up
by the corporation for many years,
there is no supervisor who has jurisdic-
ton over it. From its location and
situation it requires constant work and
attention to keep 1T open and safe for
public travel. There is but little or no
local laoor along the line OF the road,
and as the entire travel from north to
south through the state, except by rail,
has to pass over it, it behooves those
III authority to make provision for
keeping it in repair, before some acci-
dent occurs to mulct the county in
heavy damages. It is extremely
doubtful if any person or corporation
would take the road and keep it in re-
ralr for the revenve it would yield in
the way of tolls since the railroad has
got beyond it, and the freight for the
southern part of the State ne longer
passes over it.

SUPREME COURT.

SALEM, juno l2.
Court met at P NJ. Full bencl
present.
Mary E. Phillips, respondent, VS.
George Thorpe, appellant. Decree re-
ysrsed and bill dismissed. Opinion by
| Lold, J.
SYLLABUs.-The authorities are uni
form in holding that any ag, cement be-
tween the parties, having for it's object
the dissolution of the marriage contract
or facilitate that result, such as an
agreement by the defendent in pend.
ing action for divorce to withdraw his
or her opposition and make no defense,
IS void, as contra bones mores.
Such agreements are fraud upon
the law which favors marriage, and
will not give It's sanction, nor lend It's
aid to upheld or enforce the terms of
any contract, nor countenance any con-
trisance which is designed to promote
its dissolution.
Nor will equity interpose it's iuris-
dlctlon to correct mistakes arising out
of such illegal contracts, as the sup
preston of them is far more likely to
be accomplished By leaving the parties
without remedy against each other.
Where the defense of illegality is in
tsrposed, it is allowed upon grounds Of
public policy and not out of any regard
for the interests of the objeeting party.
Mary G. Wells respondent, VS.. John
Applegate, administrators Of the estate
of Charles Applegate, decesced, appel
liant. judgment of the Circuit Court
reversed. Opinion by Waldo, J.,
Lord, j., concurring.
SYLLABUs.-In an action against an
administrator it is essential that the
complaint should show that letters Of
administration had been granted SIX
months before the action was brought
An allegation in complaint against
an administrator that on the 3rd day
of November, 1879, an order or deter
minatcin of the County court was duly
made appointing J. A administrator of
the estate of G. A., deceased, is not an
allegation that letters of administration
were granted on that day, as required
by section 373, civil code. The form
q Estess Pleading, 3l2) is not appli-
cable in this State.
Under the constitution of this
State a contract made by a married
woman IS not necessarily void; but the
burden is on the party setting up such
a contract to show that iU was entered
into for an object for which she could
lawfully contract.
