Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1866-11-30
Fl EVENING NEWS.

During the forenoon divine services
were held in most of the churches, and
thanks were returned for the many
blessings that have been bestowed upon
us during the past year. And we pre-
sumo thanks we're also returned for the
result of the late elections, in placing
in authority those who will protect our
nation from any evil and wrong admin
istration of national affairs by one who
now holds the reins of Government.
Truly, we rs a nation have much to re-
turn thanks for in this particular. After
thanks had been returned to the Great
Ruler of all nations for the many bless
ings which this among the nations of
the earth had received, the good people
of Gold Hill and Virginia devoted the
remainder of the day TO feasting oil the
many good things that had been pre-
pared for the occasion. From the num-
Der of fat turkeys that disappeared we
do not believe there were n dozen fami-
lies in the county but what had the sat-
isfaction of picking the bones of one.
We were among the fortunate ones who
had no home of our own where we
could be surrounded by those bound to
US by natures nearest ties, but at B
O'Clock, in company with ALI. Doten
and Bob Lowery, We proceeded to
residence of Mr.. Martins, on B street,
where we found Il dinner prepared in
that style that only a woman has the
capacity to get up. The head of the
table was decorated by one of the larg-
est and latest of turkeys, and from the
turkey to the foot of the table were all
the good things of the market cooked
up in the best style. The party was,
without doubt, the most pleasant one
we ever had the pleasure of seeing, and
the dinner one of the best ones. After
dinner, the company spent an hour in
social chat. At six o'clock we were
again called upon TO help dissect anoth-
er huge turkey ut Woods Exchange.
We did all that any ono could do IN the
premises towards discharging our duty.
The company, on this occasion as i'll the
other, was composed principally of
those connected with the press. The
dinner was one of the kind that Woods
always gets up, and can only be termed
frst-claSS. The flow of sentiment and
wine was free, and everything passed
off pleasantly. We do not believe the
American people have enough OF holt
DAYS, and especially of the kind we had
Yesterday. During the day we noticed
II large number OF employees OF the
mines of Gold Hill and Virginia around
town with their Sunday clothes on, who
evidently had been out with some friend
to dine. Although the streets were full
of people, we did not see a single in
stance of intoxication during the day or
evening. May we all see many Thanks
givfngs of the same kind. Local.
BALL OF KNIcEERBocHER No. 5.-The
ball given last evening at the Athletic
Club room, Virginia City, was a COM
plete success. The hall was most beau
tifully decorated, having the walls COW
cred with American flags. We counted
on the walls and ceiling no less than
seventeen flags, large and small. In
the center of the room, suspended from
the ceiling was a large number OF beau
tiful flags, some of which belonged 10
the FIRE department, and the others were
of different orders and societies. Many
beautiful wreaths most taStefully gotten
up were displayed in all parts OF the
hall. At the further end of the hall was
a large portrait of Lincoln in the center
with the portrait of Washington on one
side and that of Jackson on the other.
We do not hesitate to state that No. D,
last evening, had one of the most pleas
- tha gAaeAn Tho mains
that were taken to decorate the hall, and
the manner in which it was done, re-
fleets much credit on the managers.
HAGENAx, ALIAS MoRRIs.-This case,
which for several days past occupied a
large proportion of the time OF all our
Courts, from the District 10 the Police
Court, was tried yesterday before Justice
Murray. The prisoner was held to an
swer the requiSition made from the
State of California. Mr.. Bulger, the
officer detailed from San Francisco to
take charge of the prisoner, arrived in
Virginia last evening. The attorneys
for the defendant this morning brought
the prisoner before Judge Rising on u
writ of ha6eGs corpus. The Prosecuting
Attorney read the warrant and the
reouisition. when the attorneys for the
defendant asked for an hour in order to
examine the warrant. The case was
continued until half-past ii O'Clock A:
NJ, when we presume the matter Will
be fully settled.
WAsHoE ZEpnYRs. The wind on
Wednesday night was so heavy that
considerable damage was done to prop
erty in different parts of Virginia City.
The awning over the sidewalk on south
G. street, a short distance above the
NOW Presbyterian Church, was taken
nv nv the wind and some forty feet OF
- hurled ND in the air and came down
on the roof of the building; ten feet
more was thrown into the street. From
the way lumber and scantling was scat
tered over the street yesterday morning,
travelling on the street was rather haz-
ardous.
GRAyp JURY.-In our issueof Wednes-
day we noticed the fact that nearly NIFTY
witnesses had been summoned before
the Grand Jury to give testimony
against those carrying on faro games IN
Virginia. After the witnesses waiting IN
attendance for over al hour, they were
informed that the Grand Jury a ad-
;ourned until next Thursday. We I'M
derstand, however, that two have al
ready been indicted.
