CARSON CRY. Dec. 10, 1867.

CARSON CITY. Dec. 10, 1857.
DEAR News: In my last I wrote Of the
grand party given by Justice Lewis andlady.
While that was a most magnif. affair, it was
over matched, on last Wednesday even
ing, by our fellow citizen, DR.. g. W. Wyman.
The doctor and his accomplished lady seem
to understand the service Of driving of the
ills Of man and filling the hearts oftheir friends
with joy and gladness. would like much
to tell you Of our beautiful ladies-of their
fine dresses and their graces in the may
dance: but while I can realize and see yet
the plimmering hues Of their fanciful silks,
my pen fails to dot the facts. Had you have
been here to have penned the beauties Of
Mrs. Gov. BIS crimson silk, or Mrs. ]. v.
US stone. colored MORE antique. the mauvc
silk of Mrs. D., the dark-blue silk Of Mrs.
T., the changeable silk Of Mrs. W., or the
licht.blue morie antique Of Mrs. L., who to me
appeared to be the belle Of the evening-or
| the young Misses who were there in gaudeous
array, charming tho hearts Of the gay young
bachelors; no doubt all would have been ex-
| planned, and we'll, to the satisfaction Of that
merry throng.
The Doctor appeared in his usual afiable
manner, with an eye single to the wants and
happiness of all his guests, and a more rich
and abundant supply Of rare eatables, and
especially the drinkablcs, were never seen
burthen,ng a table. or his lady, who mp.
reared in white Swiss, deep %founces, and
rich lace, and her curlcd tressed hair, en-
twined with roses, I can only say that she
made her guests exceedingly happy in the
richest entertainment ever given in Carson.
Gold Hill was represented, and well, too,
BY a gentleman and lady whose names are
known outside of Gold Hill. The gent Gre
ated a sensation among our ladies, which
caused n little jealousy among our boys, but
they intend to say nothing, as there is scarce
" a hair between him and Heaven.
Col. Curry has left for the States, to see to
some business concerned with the mint, and
I do believe, whatever may be the local feel.
ings about the mint, the Colonel deserves
the good will Of the people Of Nevada for his
untiring energy in building the mint; a work
Of much magnitude, done in most substantial
and ornamental manner, and u proud mon
ument to Nevada. God grant his future ef.
forts!
THE PAVILION.
There is quite n triangular fight over it.
The Pavilion was built by the citizens OF Car
son, for the benefit Of the first Agricultural
| Fair, and for the convenience Of the citizens
thereafter, such as parties, meetings, SC.
Having a very poor school house, the Dircc-
tors Of the public school got permission Of
the Committee or Trustees Of the Pavilion to
remove it on their school ground for a school
house; and about this time, the State Board
Of Commissioners made m order that the
Pavilion belonged to the State, and it should
be Immediately repaired and put into shape
for the State officers; and a plan is already
drawn for such q purpose, and bids to repair
the Pavilion for the sam will soon appear.
Thirdly, come in the County Commissioner
for Ormsby, and are about to make an en-
ginc room Of the south and north wings, and
offices for the State Treasurer and Controller
Who will be liking" but Chauncey, l can't
say. No doubt a public meeting will be
called, and the alabama question will be
satisfactorily settled. We have had a light
sprinkle for tho last thirty-six hours.
Yours, MAN.
