GRAND CrLrBRArIoS.-The Irish peo-
pie are noted for the energy with which
they enter into anything they undertake
to do. On Monday they will have a grand
celebration, and there is no doubt but
it will be a magnificent affair. Extern
sive preparations are Being made for the
celebration of Ireland's patron
saints birthday. The military will be
out in large numbers, and there will be
a general congregating Of all the Irish
people from Dayton, Silver City, Ameri-
can Flat, Gold Hill and Virginia city.
We are glad to see our American Irish
men enter into q proper celebration OF
the birthday Of their native country's
greatest man, as il shows q proper re-
spect to the memory Of those who stood
up and battled for the rights OF the OPP
pressed. Although they are thousands
of miles away from their native island
i. shows that the memory Of their native
land is still as fresh and green in their
heart. as are the hills of their isle Of
the ocean. Let every lrishman and
woman who AN, be in the procession.
Ireland is now struggling to throw OF
the yoke it has worn BY compulsion
since the Sd Of October, 1892, at which
time the last great effort was made to
free herself. Her years Of seryitude to
the English yoke in all has been a52:
For It's years she has quietly submitted
to the English rule. But there is not
an Irish heart but what burns With the
same love for freedom that inspired the
hearts of that people during the reign
of Henry VIII. Let those who have
found a home under the old Starry Ban
ner, in the land of freedom, on Monday
celebrate the anniversary Of the birth OF
their noble dead as becomes q noble
people.
MELTING AwAY.-The snow on the
south and east sides of the mountains is
disappearing rapidly. Old Mt. David
son begins to look quite natural once
more. The melting has been so grad
ual that it has done no damage what
ever to property. The roads from Gold
Hill to Dayton and Carson, are becom-
ing tolerably good, and a few more days
of fair weather will be sufficient to make
them so that teams can take full loads
to the mills, when the work will be re-
newed with vigor on all u mines, a
large number Of men having been tenn
porarily discharged owing to the dumps
being full and no chance to have the ore
taken away.
Losr HIS NosE.-On the 18th inst, a
man named John Richards was coming
to Virginia from Truckee Lake with a
load of fish, and when near the foot Of
the Geiger Grade he was met by a man
with a double-barreled shotgun. The
leveled his gun and fred, but Rich
ards smelt something and threw back
his head, the charge missing his head
and taking his entire nose of. The Of
ifcers are after him, and it is to be hoped
will overhaul him before he gets out of
the country.
T. MAS-TRAP.-On the east side Of the
road, a short distance below the old
Monitor Hotel, on the Divide, and with
in the limits of Gold Hill, is an old shaft
within four feet Of the f~oot-path, which
is now without any covering. The plank
having become rotten and broken out,
the shaft is exposed. We threw in some
stones to ascertain if the depth was
sufficient to be dangerous. We found
it to be over one hundred feet in depth.
Unless this is attended to, some one Will
walk into it some night, certain. Fair
warning.
DIseRAcrruL.-On Thursday night a
young man, twenty years ofsge perhaps,
while laboring under the influence OF
intoxicating liquor, made an attempt to
take the life Of his mother. He hired
one shot at her, but missed. A man
who would do a thing Of the kind ought
10 be made an exile, to spend the re-
mainder of his life on some uninhaoited
Young man, we would advise
you either to join a Temperance Society
or blow nj your own brsins-eitner
will benefit the community.
Goop.-Chief Edwards, of Virginia,
this morning, had 80 men at work re-
moving the ice and snow from the street

that which will DO q great benefit to
every 0 As the road was, 1t was al
most impossible for teams. Edwards
is a good officer, and will be remem-
bered by the people.

tween Oliu's "Russia cock" and the
cock "virginia," will take place this
evening at McCourt b Orndorfrs early
