ARMoRY HALL.-We understand that
the Military Companies Of Virginia city,
are having a trouble about their Armory.
Messrs. Root & Mclaughlin, who own the
building. have closed it against the Com
panies on account of the failure Of the
County Commissioners to pay the rent.
The Commissioners aver that they owe no
rent, as they have not authorized the &C.
cupation Of the armory since June last.
Whatever the merits of the case may be,
the law provides that the Militia compan-
les Of the State shall be provided with a
suitable armory by the County. The Hall
now in use, is the only suitable place
which can be obtained reasonably. Econ
omy in public officers is most praise
worthy, but We think the Commissioner
nigh, exercise it in more judicious chan
nelt than in refusing our military COM
panies a suitable place for drill.
orr FOR COLORADO, RIoHr AWAY
On Tuesday next a party Of expert miners
start from Virginia city for Colorado. for
district on that river, about 300 miles from
Los Angeles. They are going to work for

by Charley Strong and Geo. Westiall.
Of the number, we are able to mention
John p. Cullen, Charles Morrow and John
Bradley. There are nine in the party.
They are paid high wages, as they are first
class workmen. They all recently worked
in the Gould & Curry. One Of the party
is a millwright. They pay their W ex-
penses to Los Angeles, and the New York
company defrays travelling charges from
Los Angeles TO the place Of destination.
Good luck 60 with you, boys!

ing. There was the usual amount Of
songs. side-spli,ting jokes. and a p~ar,icu-
larry = heavy w~alk-around. The whole
