THE EVENING NEWS.

aud omo,, n dense thronG Of ladies md
gentlemen, who, by their smiling counte-
nanees. seemed to have least care to the
dogs" and were enjoying themselves in a
remarkable degree. General intercourse
had a direct tendency TO soften down
preiudices or asperities Of feeling engen-
dered in the outside world, especially
under the genial and restraining influences
of lovely woman. All were happy and
amused. We naturally turned to the
RICH, in going in, and at the first stand We
found bouquets Of every color and fra
GRANGE, and the sweetest looking Of misses
in attendance, who rivalled the c~oloring
of the choicest Of their flowers. The
next thing we saw was a table, upon
which was displayed very tempting art-
cles OF cakes and confectionery. Our
next visit was to the beautifully orna-
men,ed canopy. decked with flowers and
evergreens. and at which was dispensed
fruits, ice creams, nuts, etc. At thefourth
table was a frosted cake inclosing a VAL
liable ring, intended 10 be ratified for.
Next we visited something refreshing TO
look az, which was a stand Of beau iful
flowers in POSTAL grown in Virginia by
a lady-and we admired them much.
Moving on we CANT TO a table containing
every imaginary article in the juvenile
line-dolls, babies, dresses, shawls, etc.,
and above oil was gracefully displayed the
"Stars and Stripes" Standing in front
Of the stage was a most conspicuous OBJ
ject in the way of an ornament-a repere-
sen,ation OF ST. Johns Church Of this
place in confectionery. II was got up BY
Mrs. Wolsey in Gold Hill, and showed
great artistic merits. The under-s,ructure
or base, il we may so speak, upon which
this church was built, was a huge cake IN
which q ring TO the value Of $40 was in
closed. Somebody will be lucky when
this cake is disposed OF. We next turned
TO the left, and here we met two OF our
lady friends presiding over a table, where
everything good and refreshing TO the
inner mar could be found In the way OF
eatables and tea aud coffee.
At table No. 9, we found a miscellani-
Gus variety Of articles. OF glass and silver
ware, intended as keepsahes, 10 be dis
posed OF TO friends; and. If the fair lady
who presides ever the same TO advantage,
does no, succeed in disposins Of the same,
our citizens are not judges OF worth. All,
in moving on, We encountered the wheel.
of fortune. We had had so many re-
bluffs in life Of this 6ckle dame, that we
were disposed TO pass on, but the fair
young lady in charge caused US to pause
IN admiration. Well, we thought the
wheel could not turn out a better fortune
10 my young man b this young lady.
Breaking the spell held over US, we moved
on, and found another canopy OF ever
greens and flowers, matching the one OPP
posi,e in the hall. Here were 70 be found
strawberries, ice cream, fruits, nuts, etc.,
and was much ~patronized. The twelfth
table contained the celebrated Grab-bag.
We visited this place often in the course
OF the evening, in company OF one OF our
mos, worthy citizens, and drew ou some
most remarkable articles. We got our
moneys worth in keep-sakes and fun.
The last place we visited was the Post
Office. We thought u friends certainly
would have noticed Us, but on inqulrIng
for John Smith, not a letter could be
found. Several letters for Mr.. Smith were
in the Office, but as we have a great many
relatives Of that name. we had a dellcacy
of taking any one of them, for fear OF be-
coming possessed Of their little p'eeadt!oc'.
In regard to the tabLeaur presented, It
was the general remark expressed around
US, that they never saw anything finer.
Two Of them we must particularly speak
of: The Queen of Hearts and the Turkish
se.ne. Col. TAYLOR Is deserving Of thanks
for the admirable hammer in which he has
got these tableaaSs up. And, by the
way, speaking Of Col. Taylor. who is
from Virginia, LEI US give ac&nowledg.
re.ts 10 a large attendance from NIrgt-
ala 70 this festival. Come sgain-nCw
tableaux-plessant and Agreeable enter

one this evening.

Condition Of n sponge, we can take up a great

sxow.-we were very busy to-day and
had taken no particular notice Of the we.th-
er. To our surprise about 10 o'clock, our
attention was drawn 10 quite a Hurry OF
snow-in fact the whole atmosphere was
filed with the same on looking out-and we
thought in conclusion, in reference TO this
country, that "the ways Of the weather are
past finding out.

10 his case, bu, Of this we know nothing and
only refer TO the whole matter because 1t is a
matter Of public debate.
Mick Cows!-We saw 4 number Of fine
m;lch cows with calves, just over from Sierra
county, California; and having a little Curl
o.i,y in our make up" inquired the price.
From $40 10 $50 was the price asked, regu-
i,,s5 ,ecordiny 10 quality. This cannot be
considered high for this season Of the year.
BELcHER MrSE.-This well managed mine,
economically and otherwise, is to have their
shat, extended to the depth OF a thousand
feet. They are determined to Persevere IN
their explorations until something gooSis
struck, and we wish them all imaginable
success.
