The SSow.-During Saturday after
noon a regular old-fashioned snow storm
set in. The snow continued to fall in
~cessantly until twelve o'clock at night
when the clouds cleared away, and the
atmosphere became cold and serene.
The sun rose in a clear sky and smiled
on u snow-clad hills, that appeared
dressed in their mantle of purity for the
first time this season. Although il was
the Sabbath the jingle of sleigh-bells
soon broke the silence Of a Sabbath
morning, on the streets Of Virginia,
scores Of sleighs Of every conceivable
stuyle, went gliding over the snow.
Some were built in the most improved
style and beautifully painted, while 9TH
ers were made OF rough boards. Every
one, however, seemed to enjoy them
selves, let their vehicle look as it may.
About noon, from two to three hundred
persons had collected on Union street;
many of whom had small sleds with
which they were coasting. All sizes
and al ages, from five to forty years
old, and from two cubits and a span in
height, to six feet six inches in height,
went darting down the street pei mel,
perfectly regardless Of life or limb.
Some Of them, however, will come up
with a round turn by having 4 leg brok-
en-. This however is only what has
occurred several times before. After
dark sleighing parties were to be seen
and heard in every part OF the city,
many of the parties singing Marching
Through Georgia" The price for two
horses and u sleigh, we were informed,
was $50 per hour. We did not hire any
as our pile would not extend TO more
than a minutes ride at this figure. A
large number of persons, however, SEEM
ed to have the collateral TO pay this
enormous price, or else they had good
credit. We do not think the credit sys-
tenn was run yesterday, as none Of the
Locals" were out.
PRAYER MEErISG.-We are requested
to state that there will be a union
prayer meeting in the Presbyterian
Church every evening during the pre-
sent week, commencing this evening al
IL o'clock. All denominations are
earnestly requested to join in and make
this week a week of prayer, The de-
sign of the Churches at this time is to
awaken its members to a sense Of their
duty as well as to throw a check on the
sweeping avalsnch of wickeduess and
corruption that is at the present time
blasting the prospects Of our young
State. Let these meetings be attended
BY every one who can 60 and see if so
ciety will not be greatly improved.
A FALSE ALARN.-At 5 o'clock on
Sabbath morning the whsle on the
Mexican works commenced to blow and
continued for not less than fifteen min
utes; every person in the city thought
the town was on FIRE. A general
stampede was made into the streets to
see where it was; SOM men were in
night clothes, and forgetting the snow,
plunged out to return with bitter curses.
The cause of the alarm proved to be
that the string to the whistle got fast,
and when the valve was pulled down 1t
would not 60 back.
Who Is THE 0wSER?-A day or two
since two men from the Pioneer Laun-
dry were out in the hills hunting foxes,
when they found a large bundle of wo-
mems wearing apparel tied up in q
handkerchief and hid away. The arti-
Giles were evidently stolen from a clothes
line by some petty thief, and hid where
they were found. The articles are at
the station-house, Virginia, where they
may be obtained by the proper
TEAxixG.-The roads once more are
lined with teams that are engaged in
hauling off quartz. For the past three
weeks the roads have been so bad that
nan of the teams were hauled of, and
as a result the dumps became glutted
and work to a great degree had to be
suspended in many Of the mines. This
morning, however, the teams are all
out again, and times once more begin
to look lively.
OpARA HousE.-The performance at
the Opera House on Saturday evening,
was an entire success. Although the
night was stormy, the house was well
filed, and the performance was alto
gether the best ever given by the Silver
Star Club. Virginians and Gold Killers
should give these entertainments their
hearty support as they are entirely su-
perior to anything coming from abroad.
MULE KILLED.-0n Saturday after
noon, as one Of Hobsrt's teams was
coming down through Gold Hill, and
when Just in front Of the Imperial dump,
one of the mules fell and was run over
by the wagon, whereby the back Of the
poor beast was broken. The roads in
that part of town are in rather good
order, so the accident did not occur
from the roughness Of the rosds.
MAN SrRrEr.-For several days past
Billy Began, the Town Marshal, has
had quite q number of men employed in
repairinc Main street. It is not very
smooth yet, although, had it not been
for his exertions, the streets would have
been impossible long before this time
ColDrsr NIeHr OF n SEAsos.-Last
night was by several degrees the eoides'
of the season. Water in thight, close
rooms was frozen over hard enough 10
bear up the weight Of q person.
BuLtIoS.-There was shipped from
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Gold Hill ONCE
this morning, IA bars OF ouiion,
weighing s5I pounds, whichis valued
at $26,o45 50.
