the Right Rev. Bishop o'Connel. Rev,
Father Monteverdi, of Austin, will
preach at ST. Nary's at Vespers. Faith.
er Monteverdi vas formerly Assistant
Pastor OF St. Mary's, And he is very
much beloved by his former Pensioners.
He has been very successful as q Church
builder at Austin. He reports, with
some ~pardonable c~onceit, that Austin
will soon surpass Virginia city in popu-
lation, etc ; all of which over estimate
of "A town in whose highest prosperity
we would rejoice, may be naturally ac-
counted for by the muniicent liberality
of the people there during and toward
the late Catholic Fair. 4 ''Retreat' Of
the Catholic pastors of this Diocease
will be held in the city of Marysville,
next month. Rev. Father McNulty has
returned, in good health, to Virginia
city, and resumed his duties as
assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church.
The Fair for this church will be held
il is now calculated-early next month.
The preparations for it make it certain
that il will be the grandest ''bazsar
ever opened in this State. Some OF the
ladies of the Society are determined not
10 be outdoue by any other; and all
declare that this Fair must free the
Church from debt. The noble and de-
voted Pastor, Father Mauogue, has often
deferred offered opportunities to relieve
the church from debt, that the Orphans
School or adjacent parishes might re-
ceiye popular contributions. We hope
that after next mouth he may have the
great satisfaction Of saying: "A last
the church is free from debt And If
there could be a little surplus obtained,
so that n suitable organ could be pur-
chased and set up in St. Msry's. We
suspect the ladies are gossiping secretly
about that?
PgRsoyAL.-Ws had II call AT our
saactUm, yesterday afternoon, from our
old friend Bob Rowland, formerly War
den of the Territorial Prison, At Carson,
and who has lately returned from Il
business visit to New York and New
Jersey, connected with some valuable
mining claims he holds over in Excel
Sior District, and which he intends de-
~veloping into gold bar prod~uctiveneSs
next wear. Mr.. Rowland is the same
go-ahead and sprightly young man he
was when he kept the Territorial board
ing house and we feel confident that
when he once gets his mines in Excel
Sior open-and the mill which he has
the e of putting up next year, into
operation-he will be found II of the
foremost and most persevering men in
that district. We have it from Captain
Martin White, that Rowland owns some
of the very best mining lodes in Meadow
Lake District. We expect Bob will
make things move c year. He GER
tainly has our kindest wishes for the
requirement of an independsn, fortune
He deserves it.
GOLD HILL ExcHANGE.-This popular
saloon, next door to the Post Office, has
been most elegantly rettted, gorgeously
sealed, papersd, painted, decorated,
illuminated, and ~re-stocked with the
best Of wines of all kinds, porters, ales,
braudies, bourbons, and everything to
make u man who Elves upon the fat of
the land" feel that he lives in u civil
lied community. Tom Jackson and
Pete Ferguson, two Of the best and
handsome.t mixologists "this side Of
the Rocky Mountains" are ever on the
alert to accommodate. Uncle Leeke,
who is pilo, of the Exchange, like old
Hardenberg when he kept the Russ
House, is generally around" seeing to
things" The Exchange is deservedly
a popular saloon, and is proportionately
well ~patronized.

SMALL Pox.-The sooner the people
on the Divide, ION the Virginia city side
of the line) are informed oftheir danger
from a contagious disease 10 their midst,
the better it will be for them. Two
families, west Of the Ashland House,
have been afflicted with the loathsome
disease for several days past; and we
are informed by Constable Higgins that
several deaths among them have already
occurred. We do not make this devel-
opment for the sake of creating a "sen-
s~ation," but simply to war; people OF
their danger, and to call the attention
.of the Virginia city authorities to a
sense of their duty in removing all such
patients to their pest house.
BLACK CRoox.-Full house last night,
and a roaring good time, judging from
the applause that Numbered out upon
the evening air. A piece called "Uni.
yer,al Suffrage. is on the boards, and
politicians of all schools are invited to
attend. |, is said that it is not INTENDED
to injure the feelings of any one; but
will make you laugh extensively, what,
ever you may hold to be correct Radical
doctrine. It's all fun.
BuLLIoS.-The total amount Of bull
lion shipped during the past week from
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S offices in Virginia
city and Gold Hill, was 6,739 pounds,
