A PhEsENT.-The President of the Town
Trustees Of Gold Hill, Charles Van Gorder,
Esq, was the recipient of beautiful present
on Saturday morning. 1t consisted of a
watch seal or ornament, in the form of a solid
silver bullion steed, handsomely chased and

The Rere,Ne of November 18th, contradicts
a statement of ours in the following specific
terms:
The Gold Hill News of the 9Th says that
it had seen on the evening before dispatch
from Reese river which stated that the snow
here was several inches deep. At that time
there was scarcely any snow in Austin, and
has never been more than half that deep
