IMPROVEMENTS on FORT H~oNEsrEAp.-
In order that Gold Hill and Virginia may
have a place of public resort, with such
conveniences for festivities as must attrac,
from the country surrounding all seeking
relaxation, a few Of the most public
spirited citizens Of Virginia and Gold
Hill have decided to help our Homestead
hero, Lyford, TO a spacious building on
his fort site, and the work is now in pro.
gress. By the first Of July, Homestead
Hall will be in ~presentable shape, and we
are authorized by Mr.. Lyford to tender
the use Of the new building to the citizens
of Virginia and Gold Hill, for the public
exercises Of the coming Fourth. Should
the Committee in Charge decide 10 avail
themselves of this generous profer-and
surely no more fitting spot can be selected
for such a celebration as the times de-
mand-oue Of the most popular Virginia
caterers proposes TO set q richly furnished
table on the occasion, so that all who
choose can have "a glorious-Fourth." As
a community, the citizens OF Gold Hill
and Virginia have long felt the need for
picnics, festivals and fairs, Of a more suit
able hall-one having open grounds at
tached-thsn any the neighborhood can
boast, and no better location for a public
park or "Willows" could have been Sc
lec.ed than Gyford's Fort Homestead.

HAPPY CRowD.-A great many ladies
and gentlemen who had been attending
the picnic Of the Methodist Sunday
School, which affair came of yesterday on
the Carson river, below Dayton, passed
through our place in the afternoon on
their return. They looked at ''peace with
all the world and the rest OF man
kind :" in fact, we learned it was a most
pleasant festive and happy occasion they
had been attending under the shade OF
the co,ton-woods that grow beside the
beautiful Carson. We like 10 notice these
pic.nic affairs, as their influence is very
beneficial and humanizing OF the young,
and some Of larger growth are considera-
bly, benefited by an attendance on these
Joyful occasions.
