FoRr HoNEsrEAp.-We visited this
celebrated locality last evening, and. BY
the way, we noticed quite a number OF
ladies and gentlemen who had taken adj
vantage Of a most lovely evening to prom
enade around the walks Of this place, and
feel the full influence Of the gentle breeze
blowing-to look at the "Silver Moon."
as she coursed onward in the clear heavens.
and 70 note also the extent and busy
aspect Of our town, so well defined by the
lights that everywhere are to be seen. both
within dwellings and around the dumps
of our mines. Our object was to look at
the new building being erected on this
spot. and we were glad to zee the progress
that had been made since our last visit.
Ten men are daily employed, and more
will be put on if found necessary, but It IS
though, it will not be. from the progress
already made. All that wood and iron
could do in the way Of strength and secu-
rity has been applied. Major Edwards. OF
the assay firm Of Edwards s Weigand,
has taken this matter in hand and is spar
ing neither Of time or money TO have this
building in good trim" for the coming
Fourth of July. In this connection we
will mention, that a "Citizens' Ball" for
the pleasure and amusement jointly Of the
ladies and gentlemen of Gold Hill and
Virginia. will come of at Fort Homestead
on the night of the Fourth. Extensive
arrangements are being made to make
this a mos, pleasant affair. Wemay speak
Of this again.
ArHLsrEs.-At the meeting last night
the old board Of officers were re-nomina-
ted. They will be reelected, Of course.
Nine new members were proposed and
elected. One thousand and fifty dollars
was reported as subscribed TO the building
fund. The new hall will be up aud en-.
tirely enclosed and ready for the opening
ceremonies by the 18th Of July, probably
certainly by the goth, as we yesterday
stated.
HEAVY FRosrs.-The cold weather we
experienced last week here, brought some
heavy fros,s to the gardeners in the Carson
Valley. Potatoes in many places were
completely wilted to the ground and
even cabbage and peas, generally so hardy,
presented a yellow appearance OF leaf, in
dicative Of disease. so soon as the sun
evaporated the frost from them. The hay
prospect in this valley is remarkably good
this year.
WARM DAY.-Yesterday was a warm
day all the way through. 1t commenced
warm in the morning, grew warmer by
noon, and held its own in that line till
night. By this time, q gentle breeze
sprung up. and under the inviting pres
ence Of fair Luna, who never shone more
resplenden,ly on mother earth. every n
turned out to enjoy the scene, and revel in
the agreeable GOODNESS which prevailed.
BArHs.-This is the weather in which
baths and cleanliness are more essential to
good health than a, any other time Of the
year. The Bathing establishment Of DR..
Mayer, opposite Judge Halls office, Gold
Hill. is the very place to get a good,
wholesome bath for ladies and gentlemen.
