Warr Piss, Nev, Jan. 3.--A very excit- ing wrestling match took place here to.day. The match came about in a novel manner, "Wm. J.

He stands six feet two inches, and bas. been victorious in numerous rough and tumble and wrestling bouts, He weighs about 190 pounds, and is looked upon as a tough customer to handle. While Dakota Bill was playing draw poker in the dingy har-room of the Gold Nugget lately, a tall burly athlete, accom- panied by two fricnds walked in, The yisitors called all hands up to drink, when the conversation turned on the subject of wrestling. The landlord pointed out Tompkins to the party, and informed them that he was the champion, and that he could throw anyihing from a badger to 8 yoke of oxen. : * I'll bet $100 that I can produce a man that can throw him,' remarked one of the strangers, * Yes," replied the tall stranger, 'I'll bet $200 that he cannot throw me twice in a day.' The landlord said that if Bill would take hold he would back him for $200 to wrestle anybody in the Territory. After a warm but friendly wrangle, the match was made. Dakota Bill agreeing to meet the unknowg. The side, were posted, and it was agreed that the contest should be decided.

Tompkins had but recently won a sum from Cool Manly, the noted gambler, and knowing that Tompkins would always wrestle for gold dust, Manly engaged Mc- Mahon to go down with him and wrestle Tompkins, who did not know McMabon. The miners were greatly surprised when they discovered who the unknowa was, and they claim that Tompkins had as much chance of throwing a Califorcia pine as McMahon. perate. ntage, but the un large a -- New Year Resolves.

Pierce was candidate for State Senator his political onpopents pub- lished a pretended analysis of his popular medicines, hoping thereby to prejudice the him. His election by gn overwhelming majority severly rebuked Lis traducers, who sought to impeach his busin- ess integrity. No notice would have been taken of these npaign lies were it not that some of his enemies (and every success. people against ful business man bas his full guota of epvi- ous rivals) are republish. these bogus an- Numerous and «ost absurd form. ulas have been published, purporting to come from high authority ; and it is a signi- ficant fact that no two have been at all alike--conclusively proving the dishonesty of their anthors. The following is from the Buffalo Commer cial, of Oct 23rd, 1877. "Hardly adozen years ego he (Dr. Pierce) came here a young, unknown man, almost alyses. fricndless, with no capital except his own manhood, which, however, included plenty of brains and pluck, indomitable persever- Capital enough for any young man in this progres- country, if only he has good health acd He had all these natural advantages and one thing more, an excellent education. He had studied medicine and licensed to practice as a physician. -- But he was still a student, fond of investi. He discovered or invented important remedial agencies or compounds. Not choosing to wait wearily for the sick and suffering to find out(without anyone to tell them) that he could do them good, be advertised his medicines and in vited the whole profession, of every sehool, to come and pronounce judgement on his formulas.

His success has been something marvelons--so great indeed that it must be due to intrinsic merit in the articles he sells more even than to his unparalled skill in the use of printer's ink. The present writer once asked a distinguished dispensing drug- gist to explain the secret of the almost un. iversal demand for Dr. Pierce's medicines -- He said they were in fact gennine medicines, --such compounds as every good physician would prescribe for the diseases which they were advertised to cure. Of course, ' they... cost less than any druggist would charge for the same articles supplied on a physician's prescription, and beside there was the doctor's tee saved, Moreover, buying the drugs in such enormous quantities, having perfect apparatus for puryfying and' com- pounding the mixture, he could not, only get better articles in the first place, but. present the medicine in a better form and cheaper than the mixture may De' otitai ined from any other source. i ie > be thought that 8 Bia to Dr. Pierce's private, bu has no point whatever when considey -onnection with the proper qualifications, a candidate for the Senate.
