hosting works, whose dwelling at Gol'
Hill was burned on the evening o
Thanksgiving day, by which untortu'
nate accident himself and family ios'
everything they had in the worla eNeep,
their lives and what clothes they s.oou
in, we are pleased TO learn IS onee moEe
vol, situated and provided for, thanks
20 Tho Iberality of his friends and fell
low citizens. Mr.. Parker desires us to
ro,rrn his sincere and heartfelt thanks
- ali those who so kindly and promptly
nss;s,ed him and his in their hour OF
,ropble. The kind and efficient manner
in which Mr.. Smith, Foreman OF the
Crown Point, took the matter in hand,
the liberality of those connected with
the Empire, Imperial, Petaluma, Sap
phire, Oyerman and Belcher mills and
mines, and also the amiable hospitalities
of his ~neighbors, will ever be rcmem-
bered by him and his family with full
appreciation and profound gratitude.
II is indeed hard to be thus swept Of all
the little savings and treasures of years,
and turned houseless upon the world at
such a season of the year, yet how
pleasing to the unfortunate, to know
and feel that although homeless, they
are not ~friendless. Truly "a friend in
need is q friend indeed"
To-SIGur.-Perhaps n Of the most
beautiful offerings of sacred devotion
and vencration of the Savior, that has
ever been seen or heard in Gold Hill,
will be witnessed in ST. Patrick's
Church tonight, commencing at half
past eleven o'clock, when the bell OF
the church will be chimed; at quar-
ter of twelve o'clock, when the bell will
again sound; and at the hour of mid
night. The church is beautifully and
elegantly decorated; q very extensive
choir Of vocal and instrumental music
will enliven the august, the sublime,
and truly sacred occasion of High Mass,
praise and worship of Almighty God,
and welcome the Day which gave birth
to Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind.
The members OF the congregation, and
all Others, are lovingly invited to be
present, and to participate in the eS-
e~rciseS.
CHRISTMAS TURKEYs.-0wiug to the
fearful state Of the roads across the
Sierra Nevada, our Christmas supply
of turkeys seems to fall short, same as
last There are more to be seen
for sale in Gold Hill THAN anywhere else,
and many people from Virginia city
have come down here for their regular
turkey for dinner tomorrow. The poul-
try dealers have any amount OF turkeys
on their way over the mountains, which
are detained somewhere. They arc
using their best endeavor 20 get them
through, the most of them being sold,
but whether they will succeed in doing
so in time for Christmas dinner, re-
mains 70 be seen. Turkey is one OF
the essentials to a proper observance Of
Christmas.
