Tony Sebastine, the acrobatic con-
tortionist is again a star boarder at
the bastile. Tony must banker after
the county hostelry, for he is no
sooner released than he is hauled up
again.
The Livingston Enterprise says "a
few more boarders wanted at the
Winona house." The paper must be
more explicit and let the people
know what the Winona house is
paying for boarders.
For tue benefit of those who wish

Butte not to be completely out
done by the capital. will have a
little side-show of a racing meeting,
All ''annex," as it were.-Herald
Just so, but before Butte gets through
with this side-show the people will
find that the "annex al it were," is
the main building, and don't you
forget it.
The committee appointed to find a
suitable place where the fire bell
could be hung and used to give the
alarm in case of fire have not yet sue
ceeded in securing place. For some
reason the proposition to put it IN the
Amphitheatre has fallen through and
it is probable the bell will be put on
top of Owsley & Cowan's livery sta
BILE.
McGraty, who will appear at Nc
Cormick's benefit at the Theatre
Comique tonight, is a whole show
in himself. His wonderful trapeze
balancing is marvellous, and bis per-
Torrance on the flying trapeze is
superior to anything of the kind
which has ever before been witnessed
in Butte. Every one who attends
this entertainment will nc doubt 60
away we'll pleased, as the large num-
Der of people who have volunteered
their services cannot be excelled in
their ~specialties.
From the Idaho Sun we learn that
on September 18th, in the Gillette
claim, on Pritchard creek, was found
by one of the miners a nugget that
weighs thirteen ounces, four penny
weights and four grains, amounting
to 500 in coin. The piece is shaped
somewhat like a shoemaker's last,
with the high instep and tapering
foot. It had been evidently been
struck twice with the pick, one blow
glancing on the thinner edge and
the other breaking off a small piece

and shows very strong wash. There
is a little quartz on one side of the
dark color. Smaller nuggets: from
half an ounce to an ounce, are so
common now on the claim, that they
scarcely excite comment. Prichard
creek is still six ounces behind
Dream gulch in the matter of the
largest nugget found in the C@ur
d'Alene.
Last evening between half-past
eight and nine o'clock a man, while
st ,uding on the crossing between
Denoon's and Sands Il Boyce's cor
ners, had a $50 gold piece knocked
out of his hand by the man to whom
he was talking. 1t is probable that
the man who did the knocking
caught the piece of money as it fell,
for it could not be found. 1t is also
probable that that piece of money,
before the rightful owner ceased to
hunt for it, was invested in faro
chips and the chips lost. No one
seemed to care for the money, and
all who came assured the loser that
his money must certainly have been
picked up, but it was evident that a
constant look out on the ground was
kept up and everything that appeared
The least bright received a slight
kick. The ground was we'll stirred
