the sky. cleared away and the full yell
low moon. u little above the horizon
burst forth with an uncommonly clear
light. causing the light teecy clouds

look rs though they were tr!nged with
gold. 4. more beautiful sky we never
have seen before. The contrast be-
tween such a beautiful sky and the
dark and gloomy weather we have had
for the past week was truly cheering.
But alas a.! these beautiful views were OF
short duration, for within halt au hour
"A line of mist AS it were. hung along
the horizon to the south, which was
carried IN ceiling the face Of nature
again in gloom. Il is very essential
that we should have rain or snow, Il
We should suggest TO the clerk OF the
weather that there has been enough Tor
one time, as the mud now extends down
to the bed rock. and all the water that
is sent along until 4 portion OF what we
have is used up, will run 10 waste.
SUsPESpED.-We learn that the Saw
aCc, Chollar-PotoSi and several other
mines on the ComStock, have been COM
PEELED 10 suspend operations TO Il con-
siderable extent, in consequence OF their
dumps being full and the inability OF
teams TO relieve them. The roads at
the present time are in such n bad con-
ditiou that it is quite impossible TO haul
away one-half the usual amount Of
quartz. II the bullion receipts for this
month fall off, it will not be the fault Of
mines on the COmStock, but from the
fact that the roads are so bad that it is
impossible to get the ore transported TO
the mills.
CHRISTMAS TREEs.-The little ones,
and We might add the big ones too, are
looking forward to Christmas Eve as a
time when their hearts will be glad
dened by old Santa Claus. In ST. Johns
church. Gold Hill, and also in the Meth
odist church, there will be splendid
Christmas Trees. loaded down with all
kinds of presents for young and old.
Santa Claus intends being here with sew
eral large reinder-sleigh loads Of new
TOYS, candies, srerything which the good
children OF our schools can desire to
make a MERRY CHRISTMAS.
FINE CHCRCH.-If we are TO judge
from the doors and windows being man.
ufactured at the shop Of Hawley, Mox-
ley 4 CO.. in Virginia, for the new
Catholic Church in Austin, Reese River,
they are building a remarkably hne
church. The work is all Gothic. The
sash for head lights in the doors are
very elegant, and will be filled with
stained glass. Lumber is so high priced
in Austin they have all their inside
work done in Virginia, and shipped out,
thu, saving freight on all the waste.
Rather a long distance to send for job
work.
Handsome DIsPLAY.-The Show-win-
dow of the San Francisco Restaurant, a
few doors below the News office, pre-
sen,s a most beautiful display Of ele-
yantly iced cakes Of different kinds,

supply any number which may be re-
quired. He is prepared to furnish fami'
lies, wishing to make their W cake,
with flowers and trimmings for their
decoration.
