MINERS USioS AssrvERsARY.-Last
Saturday, July 4th, being the first an
niversary of the. organization Of the
Virginia Miners Union, in response to
q special invitation the Miners Union
of Gold Hill assisted them to celebrate
it. About 10 o'clock A. N. the Virginia
Union came down to Gold Hill with a
brass band and escorted the Gold Hill
Union up to Virginia, where, after a
parade through G street, Sutton aVenu
and B street, they went to Niagara nan,
where they partook OF a most oountiiul
collation., or rather banquet, composed
of the choicest good things in the eat
ing line to be had. Gathered around
the festive board, the merry company
was entertained with numerous speech
es, toasts and sentiments, and the lively
popping of corks and flowing Of cham
payne for an hour or two, the meeting
dissolving in time to allow all who de-
sired, ar opportunity of attending the
great celebration exercises at Fort
Homestead.
The CIRcUs.-Stickney's grand circus
opened in Gold Hill last night to a full
house. The performances are splendid
the trappings gorgeous - and the
horses we'll trained. The splendid
horse All Pascha, a real Arabian ami
NAL, is certainly the finest trained and
trick-horse We have ever seen on this
side of the Sierras. Sam. Stickuey, the
Clown, is evidently a wit, n genius, q
man Of infinite jest, q scholar, and in
his department a gentleman. The ring
master, Mr.. Ryland, Everybody knows
Ryland or ought to know him. is the
same mirth-provoking, and real, fine,
pleasant gentleman we have always
found him. As this is to be the last
night Of S%tickuey's circus in Gold Hill,
and as there will not be another for at
least q year, we would advise ''every-
body aud his wife and sweetheart" to
20 and see the circus tonight. There
is to be an entire change Of programme.

Handsome LAyoUr.-On the Fourth
of July, in the second story Of Cross L
Gibson's Saloon, Mr.. Oliver Seer, (the
handsome young man who keeps the
Refreshment stand in that house had
II most sumptuous Layout" Of edibles
and drinkables, which had been ordered
by Gen. Winters for his military staff,
and invited guests. At about four
o'clock the company sat down, and if
ever a festive board was more enjoyed
thar the one we speak of, we never
heard of it. Delicacies, luXuries, SUBJ
stan,ials, everything, in short, which
could be obtained, was On hand, and
enjoyed. Gen. Winters makes a good
superior officer"
DAYTON FLoURIsHErH.-A letter from
our friend Cross, Of the National Hotel,
Dayton, speaks well of the present and
future prospects of that maratime town.
The mills are crushing away ut n con-
tinuous and lively rate. The grass is
green along the Carson, and vegetables
doing we'll. The men are jolly, the
women healthy, and the babies fat.
The idea advanced by certain enyious
persons that Dayton was too near Como
to ever amount to much, is u grand
humbug long since exploded. Dayton
a%ourisheth like q green bay horse, and
so does Cross and his National Hotel.
ONE OF OUR HxRoEs.-C. H. Maish, a
member Of the Carson Brass Band whose
excellent music so much contributed to
the general patriotic effect and festivity
of our recent celebration Of the Fourth,
was a drummer in the 18th Illinois
regiment during the war Of the rebel
lion, and was among the first to scale
the walls of Fort Donelson and enter
the interior Of that rebel stronghold,
with the victorious "boys who wore
the blue" Mr.. Maish is the tenor
drummer of the Band, and on the Fourth
cave numerous specimens of the way he
did it at Fort Donelson.
The GREAT PIcSIc.-That extremely
popular picnic Of Young America En-
CINE No. 2, being held in the huge
building at the mouth of the Gould g
Curry lower tunnel, continues to be well
natronized, as it has been from the first,
and deseryedly so, for it is the best
Mace in the county for o picnic. The
pigeon and target shooting, sack and
wheelborrow racing, creased pole climb
ing, pig chasing and general fun comes
to an end this evening, on which occa-
sion il winds up with a grand free ana
easy masquerade ball.

port of the President of this mine shows
