by talented young bar-keeps, whose parents were from
the original Shaker-settlement in New York."
The editor shows by the following announcement
that he is not forgotten among all these invitations
to call and drink of the best.
" WHITE.—In Virginia, Nov., Juno Gth, to J. C. White, a
son.
" With the above announcement came half a dozen cham-
pagne— sparkling, effervescing, and agreeable. May the
youngster be spared to become like thereunto, and make
glad the declining days of a fond father and tendor mother.
So mote it be."
JOHN DAVIS must have been in concert with Mr.
\VIIITE

"THANK You.—Our old Nevada friend, John Davis, has
sent us a splendid ham—home-cured—and as sweet as a
woman's lip."
But the appreciation of the people of Virginia of
their worthy editor did not stop here, as the follow-
ing extract will show :
"Wno COULD IT BE?—Yes, my boy, who could it be,
that sent us such a beautiful fragrant bouquet this morn-
ing ? ' That's the question !' After due inquiry, we as-
certained it was from H. R. Smith (Messenger for Wells,
Fargo, and Co., between Sacramento and Colfax), bettor
known by his friends in Virginia and elsewhere as
'Smithy.' We have met Smith here and in the city of
Rabel's Tannery and Swi►nley's boarding-house. We
know Smithy—so dons Valentine. We were invited borne
by Smithy ono night—and we went ; that accounts for
the flowers. Accept our thanks, old boy, and remember
to be constant in virtue and well-doing."

These were the receipts of but one day, as it must
be remembered that the paper is issued daily. Dr.
Hor LOCK, Chinese physician, cautions persons
against those playing themselves as his partners.
Ile enumerates a long catalogue of diseases he can
cure, when from detail he suddenly soars to the
highest generalisation, declaring that he is master
of all diseases to which the .human frame is liable,
no matter of how long standing. Indeed Mr. HOP
LOCK might adopt the sign of his countryman in
Hong Kong, and shortly state " Can do, any mortal
thing." That he can do some curious things is seen
in the three letters which follow, wherein people
publicly announce and give their names that he has
cured them of diseases which elsewhere would stig-
matise the sufferers. There is a cheerful invitation
from Mr. WILSON, city sexton, to inspect a general
assortment of every style of coffins. He pays par-
ticular attention to preparing bodies for shipment
to California and the Atlantic States, and offers
the most beautiful and reliable metallic burial cas-
kets. The proprietor of PIPER'S Opera House an-
nounces the engagement of the celebrated young
tragedian JOHN M'CuLLoCII, supported by Miss
JENNY PARKER, Miss AMY STONE, and the Combi-
nation Star Company. Dress circle and orchestra,
seats, $1; parquette, 50 cents; private boxes, i3d
to $lO.
The advertisement sheet of a paper published in
a new settlement speaks vo!umes of its progress,
and the rapid advance of Virginia is clearly seen
by the columns of the Daily Trespass. We
cannot
close this article without one or two extracts to show
the literary food on which the people of Nevada
exist :
"Quito a number of strangers have been circulating
hereabouts during the past week, and various rumours 30
afloat as to the probable objects they had in
Esmeralda Union."
It is often the case, in a village like Aurora.. A
man of foreign manners and gait comes along, °Dc.,e,
in a while, and nobody knows what he is after
he goes off with some citizen's horse or buys a big
mine.—(Editor, Daily Trespass.)
The following comes up to the editor's idea of 3

sarcastic notice
"DUTCH FLAT ENQUIRER.—BOUSt, editor, was sojourn-
ing, yesterday, at Meadow Lake. The paper of that date,
contained this item from his pro tern :---‘ All the princiP3s
wiro pullers are out of town. The place is rejoicing in
brief spell of quietude and respectability."
The man in llartford, we suppose, is regarded
in Virginia as " smart," and a good model to

copy :
"To MARE A FORTUNE.—A matt in Hartford advertised
recently that, on receipt of a certain sum, ho NVOUId, bf°l
return of mail, instruct any applicant how to make a .-i
tune. His directions were Peddle cigars, I'3'l
Havana and half home-made, as I did, and always b°
ready to pick up a stray chicken. "
