RlxlnsiRlp.-Some Of u friends

the NkWS once yesterday
meraiug, and for which they will accept
Observation-Disclosures as old Paul
acknowledged the necessity Of "takinG
. little for the stomach's sake" Sew
sral fat turkeys have already been re-
esiptsd, and yesterday morniug our
truly pleasant friend and philosopher,
Captain Vssey, sent Us a gallon OF most
delicious "Tom and Jerry" OF which
We partook with the most eIhilarating
relish-in fact, No felt rs though We
might have been named "Thomas'
originally. Another petation made us
feel as il our name was "~Jersmiah,"
"vessy," "Freneh," or--just at
this iuneture along came the Gold Hill
Brass Band, to give the News Office =
serenads-and they serenaded for the
sake Of the occasion. or course, We
asked the band in-and they came in
and they went in for Vesey's Tom and
Jerry. 1t had = truly magical effect on
the musical notes, for We imagined they
played "Bingsn on the Rhine" Edin-
borough Town." "The Girl I Left Be-
hind Me-" "Hail Columbia" "DiIie,"
etc. Tho Band enjoyed it, and so did
ws-that 10, the Tom and Jsrry-as
also the musie-the occasion being one
Of rejoicing, Of alteration, Of general
admiration Of dali the world and the
rest of mankind" Another pitcher Of
delicious sgg-uogg came from the Bank
Exchange, with the compliments Of Nr.
Ferguson aud his polite attaches. Then
came half dozen bottles Of superior
old Bourbon, sherry, coguac, etc., from
the family grocery Of Stern b Son ;
after which followed q pitcher Of foam
ing sgg-nogg from the Express Saloon,
kept by Msssrs. Hay L Ross. Mr.. Geo.
Stockls Che who makes gsnslemen's
boots which last W years, constant
weary smilingly invaded our ssnetum
and presented Us with q "Dutch Tur-
key" a most acceptable dish for any
body from "Faderland." Next came
another gallon Of egg.nogg from
Messrs. Binslsy / Taylor, whose popu-
lar billiard and drinking saloon is next
dosr to the National Hotel. This
Office, after the Brass Band left, was
well supplied with all the "%luxuries
Of the ssason"-sIcept the smallpox,
and we only wonder that somebody who
had more than be wanted didn't send
rs . few-and we were compelled to
barricads the doors Of the establishment
to keep out interlopers with Christmas
presents. Having freely INDUCED in
Ton and Jerry, egg nogg, Dutch tur-
key, milk punch, cognac, bourbon, etc.,
We had q dream. We dreamed that
We had bought the whole Of the
mines in White Pine; We also bought
and sold tho Comstoek tuice-and we
were negotiating to buy the Central and
the Union Pacific Railroad-and were
also about striking a bargain with
Brigham Young to marry his mother-in-
law-but Brigham protested, saying, in
the language Of ARENAS Ward, "it is
too much !" We suoke from our
dream aud wrote this item.
oxxIBus.--Pst Holland, Esq, Of the
Virginia City R,risT, the other day had
. terrible tussls in the omnibus with a
lady whom the Enterprise had repre-
sentsd as "~con6denes" roman. Some
body addressed Mr.. Holland as Mr.
Goodman, Of the Enterprise" and the
woman Just about that time was hunt
ing Mr.. Goodman ; so she made for Pat,
and, il Was reported by the passengers in
the bus, she gave him q terrible tongue
lashing, and would have pulled the hair
out Of his head, and his eyes out Of
their sockets, if Mart. Reese and 10.
aougenheim had not interfered and pre-
vented her. Pat couldn't make her be-
lieye that he was o the man she was
huntipg-not much, he couldn't. As it
was, she tore his coat, his shirt collar,
and took his hat. This being his FIRST
visit to Gold Hill for three months, it is
doubtful whether he will come down to
Slippery Gulch again in a hurry. Ut
10 rumorsd that old Morse has sent her
Q challenge, on behalf Of Nc. Holland
but he reserves the right to choose the
weapons.) Our advice would be for her
not to have anything to do with Morse
for certain reasons.
JOHNNY Tulss. - This wandering
minstrel arrived last evening from Cali
foruia, in response to the earnest desire
Of John Piper, and will mako his fr's
appearance, or rather his re-appearance,
this Saturday evening at the Opera
House in the presence OF a denseiy
packed army Of his friends. Johnny
has been r~ustieatiug so long among the
ranches of Santa Clara and the mud Hats
of Alviso that he had quite q strong
smell Of green grass and salt marsh
shout him, but the 6rst thing he did on
arriving was to 60 aud take a big roll
in the sagebrush On tho side Of Mount
Davidson, in order to get his old famil-
lar smell back on him. He would have
been hero q week sooner, but he had to
ship those big shoes Of his over the
mountains BY slow freight.
OpnaL HOUSE MRLoDRoS.-This par.
ticularly gay and festive Thespian insti-
tuition was particularly we'll crowded
last evening with the gays,t, j~ollisst
company We have seen for = eoon's age.
Il looked like old times once moro.
The entertainment passed OF in an un-
usually spirited manner, and certainly
10 the perfect satisfaction Of the audi
.nce. Owing to the sudden and severe
indispositien Of Lew Parker, Miss Ella
LaRus was pressed into the service as
"snd man." and her voice having i'm
proved somewhat, she succeeded ad-
mirably. An excellent bill is out for to-
nirht and no doubt there will be an
other full house. Johnny Tusrs has ar
rived and will appear this evening.
HrALY's R%kTREsuNzSr RooN.-aike

Virginia as a choice and a~ppreciatirs
caterer to the human appetite, has
opened an establishment Of his W on
G street, opposite the International Ho-
tel. Mike is bringing hi, talented exps-
rienee into rsquisition in the dispensing
Of steaks, chops, game, fish, poultry,
she'll oysters and other good things to
numerous customers. Sec advertise
