ST. JoHx's FEsrIvAL.-The weather
was ~unpropitious last evening for this Fes'
tival, and on first going in TO the theasei
but a small assemblage vas to be seen
As the evening advanced, however, to our
surprise the hall became crowded. had
the weather been favorable the densess
mass of ladies, gentlemen and youngsters
would have been gathered together tna'
ever stood upon the floors ot tnat tnea'e'.
Everythins went off TO the satisfaction OF
all present. the tableaux particularly draw
ing forth the admiration e1ici'eo on 'ne
previous evening. To. night the rery os'f
| Of the exhibitions Of the two evenings
will be brough, out, and any one VINO
has NOT seen these should certainly attend.
In speaking of these tableaux, we forgot
Yesterday TO give credit, where credit
was really due. in the getting up
of many of these - and that is to
Miss L. NJ. Palmer. This lady has spent
a great deal Of time, and exercises much
talent in the arrangement and "gettiug
up =" Of these tableuax. She comes in for
q most liberal share Of COMMUNICATION.
On Friday evening the grand ball takes
place. lie, every one, enjoying these fes-
i've occasions, prepare himself. and take
with him some fair one, and so double
the enjoyment the festive scene will afford.
wAooS on THE RAMrAoR.-As team
s,cr Whittier was driving his ox-team
with a load of rock in his wagon, from
the lower Yellow Jacket dump, intending
10 make a trip TO the Buckeye MILL
Washoe. Just as he was passing the upper
dump Of this same company, IN making
the turn there and at a very sharp pi;eh'
the ,onsue.chain broke and away ent
the wagon with increasing velocity I s It
progressed. II took q turn from some OBJ
s,ruction in its way and dashed into the
ward of Hank Blanchard, demolished an
ou,-house and had il not been for the
wheels dropping into the sink there
would most certainly have gone straight
through Hanks house. Fences were no
inpediment TO its career, and our INFORM
ant told US the crash alarmed the whole
n~.ishborhood, and seemed TO him as near
by a. he was, like the explosion OF q
bomb-shell.
FIuuE To ENpIRE.-The survey for
this fume TO bring lumber aud wood from
the upper par, of the Carson River to En-
pire has been completed, and the returns
handed in. Jno. b. Winters, OF TINS
place, is largely interested in the company
engaged in this enterprise, and the WORK
on the same will be pushed forward rap
;dIv. No curve was made the whole
length of the route which not freely per-
mi,s a log 60 feet long to make the turn
wi,hou, obstruction. All these enter
prise, tina, have a tendency to cheaper
the price of wood and lumber we notice
with Measure, and wish them success.
SEGREGATED BELcHER.-The work on
this mine has been carried forward with a
good deal Of energy. Their shaft is now
down six hundred feet, and one OF the
hes, indications of being on the regular
Coms,ock lode occurred a few days ago in
tapping a vein Of water which Immediately
rose in the shaft to the height OF sixty
feet. The engine was put to work to re-
duce this amount, and is succeeding in It's
operations admirably. When nothing
more than the regular supply Of water to
this vein is encountered. work in the shaft
will 90 on us heretofore.
