A Truly PLEASANT AFfAiR.-Eagle
Company No. 8 of Virginia, extended an
invitation to our gallant boys of Liberty
Hose Company No. l, TO become their
guests on the Fourth. The invitation was
accepted: but as the Liberty Company
had been guests a number of times of this
same noble. spirited Eagle Co., and as they
seldom have had a chance to corral"
them in return, as soon a the procession
broke up. at Fort Homestead, the Liberty
Company took the No. 5 boys down to
Theater Saloon, where a bOunuful COLA
ton was spread for them. Two hours
were spent in convivial enjoyments-wit,
humor. toasts, and good feeling prevailed,
and a merrier set Of men never met in
that same thester. May you all live to
participate in many a happy Fourth OF
July.
Music HALL.-rhe long promised star
made her appearance last evening at this
place Of amusement. Miss Ella La Rue,
was introduced for the first time to a Viz
GINA aud Gold Hill audience. The piece
selected for the occasion was a local play,
written by a gentleman of Virginia. and
bears the name of the "Merry Wives OF
Virginia" Supported in her par, BY
Miss Josephine and Miss Lille Moore,
the play drew forth most rapturous ap-
plause. A full audience was in attend
ance, and with the untirng efforts OF the
old L" stand-bys" of this popular place,
everything passed of TO the satisfaction Of
all concerned. Take a look at these
"Merry Wives" reader.
ACCIDENT on THE FoURrH.-Usually,
it has been our unpleasant duty to chron-
icle a number OF accidents on the Fourth
of July. but for this occasion only one has
com TO our knowledge. and that befell a
little boy at the firing of the sunset salute
at the Gould s. Curry dump. He was
~precipitated over an emdankment twenty
feet high, breaking his lower jaw, knock
ing teeth. and otherwise seriously Injurlng
him. Drs Hhler \ Bird attended TO the
little sufferer, and afforded all the relief
their united skill could suggest.
GOVERNOR BLAsDEL.-Reports were
very current yesterday, in regard to the
condition Of our Chief Magistrate. Some
inquired whether he was dead others did
not hesitate 10 say that he was while
others doubted. unwilling without posi-
tive information on the subject. 10 believe
that any Of the reports were true. We
are happy to say that, although having
had a severe attack Of hemorrhage OF the
lungs. in San Francisco. he is now i'm
proving rapidly. So his physicians, DR..

LIVE EAGLE.-Among the attractions
in the Gold Hill Fourth Of July process
sion was a very large live American eagle,
perched on the Yellow Jacket hose car
riage. 1t attracted great applause from
the sidewalk audiences, and seemed TO
feel and appreciate the demonstration
rendered q the honor OF 1.-THE bird OF the
Nation" This fine specimen Of Washoe
nativity is now an active member OF the
Yellow Jacket Hose Company, and makes
his home in the Hose house.
VERY ORDERLY - Only four arrests
were made during the Fourth in Gold
Hill. Two OF these were for fighting. and
at our present writing not an inmate occu-
pies the Station House, for any ottrnse
whatever. This speaks well for Gold
Hill, whose ~citizsns generally feel a pride
in keeping up the reputation OF their town
as the abiding place of good order, 5ood
feeling and q commendsble public spirit,
which breaks out on all suitable or proper
occasions.
