oosotuoy oisoAuooui ~
half.past two o'clock, the Ri, Rev. W.
Ipgraham Kip, Provisional Bishop Of
the Nevada Diocese consecrated st.
Johns Church, in Gold Hill, to the ser
vice of Almighty God. The interesting
ceremony was attended by a large con-
gregation Of people, who assembled in
the church-many Of whom came from
Virginia city, and some of whom were
from Silver City and Dayton and viciu-
ity. At the hour specified the Bishop,
accompanied by the Rev W. o. Whita-
ker and the Rev. Mr.. Dyer, of Dayton,
were met at the door Of the church by
the wardens and V%estrymen, and on
entering the church, the dedicatory ser
vices commenced as laid down in the
Episcopal Prayer Book; and after enter
ing the chancel, the church was for
mally presented to the Bishop rs the
property Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church Of the United States Of America.
The Bishop, in accordance Herewith,
dedicated St. Johns Church, of Gold
Hill, to the service Of Almighty God.
The ceremony is one that is familiar to
~Episcopalians, SO far as the words
used are concerned, but the occasion,
for it is not so frequent as to render it
other than one Of peculiar and novel in
,eres, to all our people. We could not
but reflect with pride and sincere
thanksgiving, On the fact, that here in
this place where riches are most exclu-
sively sought, where it is supposed men
are as much absorbed in securing money
as in any other place on the face of the
globe, a beautiful temple Of worship
has been built for the people Of the
Anglican faith. We were proud and
grateful. in remembering that this is
the third place Of worship in this town
that has been formally set aside from
secular purposes for the high and holy
use Of those who would commune, in
public assembly, in the Christian cove
nsnt. Bishop Kip's very clear and ele-
CANT reading rendered the services in
the largest degree pleasing to those at
tending. In the dedicated Church in
the evening, the Bishop administered
the rite Of Confirmation, and preached a
very able discourse. We hope to soon
welcome and settle a rector in st. Johns
Episcopal Church, Gold Hill.
REvoLvERs.-To-day, at IL o'clock,
Mr.. McCone came up to this town, from
his foundry, and as he was getting out
Of his buggy, near the Bank Exchange,
n man came up to him and demanded
twenty dollars, which he said McCone
owed him. McCone replied that he did
not owe the man demanding n cent.
The twenty dollar caller said McCone
was a liar, and struck At McCone, when
the latter proceeded to draw his revolt
yer, and the other did likewise, or made
a pass for it, when both were. checked
by people roundabout.
BANG, BASG.-0n yesterday and the
day before there were frequent guu-tar-
rel reports from the neighoorhood Of the
Belvidere House, in Virginia, and sew
erl pigeons, chickens, and an old gray
mare were shot in consequence. The
scoring is said to-have been quite credit
able, considering the fact that the birds
did not fly up handsomely. Talbot did
some tall shootin', on yesterday, we are
not surprised e hear. He's bound to
make a cente shot on anything he goes
after.
