CITY, ommence tomorrow evening their
annual Festival, at Athletic Hall, c
street. IL is well known that the mem-
bers OF this society, in times past, have
been prominently active in all benero-
lent and charitable enterprises, and
also know "how TO keep II Fair
Among the novelties, will be two pic
ture galleries, containing the choicest
paintings and works Of art in the city
and vicinity. |; will be quite u curios-
ity 10 see the class Of paintings that
have found their way to this sage-brush
land. Refreshmcnt tables, ice-cream,
strawberries and fruits, tiower-standS,
fancy articles of that kind which all
mothers find useful, made by the ladies,
and of course more valuable therefor,
without mentioning the bright eyes and
handsome faces TO be seen 1t the seve-
raj tables, forming another picture gall
lery Of themselves. Music each eve
ming, and dancing from 10 10 II o'clock

special mention and praise-no railing

sold stronger than lemonade. Our good
people have an opportunity for three
evenings carnival of pleasure, aud we
doubt not they will all improve the OPP
portunity. The Fair will be held Tues

EARruouAEE THIS MoRSISG.-A very
perceptible shock OF An earthquake was
felt throughout Gold Hill, Virginia, and
vicinity about 4 o'clock this morning
Persons asleep at the time were not liza
BILE TO perceive the shock, but those
who were up aud about were apprised
of its presence by the jarring and rat
Ting of windows, erockery, and SINH
lar arrangements Since the two heavy
shocks of the Goth ult. several slight
shocks have been noticed, but like the
one of this morning, they were mo
great shakes" Heretofore these a
Francisco institutions have been OBJ
liged TO exert themselves pretty power
fully in order to DO felt this side OF the
Sierra, but the railroad has brought US
in nearer proximity than ever to that
shaky old metropolis. About the iast
of this month, when the gap in the rail-
road at the summit Of the Sierra IS
closed, perhaps we shall feel these earth
quake shocks far more powerful and
frequent than at present. hu noseE
CEaRo GoRDo DIsrmcr.-The best Of
repor,s relative to the mines OF this dis
trict continue to come in from them
Alexander Kennedy and others have re.
Gently purch ased u large interest in the
San I~rnacio mine for $4,000, and
are now taking measures to promptly
develope the great wealth known to be
contained therein. Our good friend
Charley Duval, who has recently come
from Cerro Gordo, will return IN about
a week with all the castings and other
requisites for the erection Of two first
class furnaces in which to treat the rich
ores of the Independence mine. The
hest mines of the district are owned
priucipally by residents Of Virginia and
Gold Hill, and the chances are that
during the present season they will re-
csire gratifying returns from their ln-
yestments. Cerro Gordo district lies
about 225 miles to the southeast oil
here, bordering on Owens River Valley.
1t is well wooded and watered, and the
bullion which its mines have already
yielded is fast bringing itinto prominent
consideration.
