No MISTAKE ."-Thursday, in our
account of the Silver City demonstra-
ton, We inserted an innocent looking
little %feeler, just in order to bring out a
certain point relative to toll charged at
DEVILS Gate. II had the specific effect
intended, for the Horntown Biophdrd,
with u furious toot of its horn, bounced
into the drop hole just as we expected,
after the style of q rampant b%lue-bottle
fly whizzing into q pail of fresh milk.
We were on board one of the wagons of
that procession, with the Glee Club,
and before it arrived at the DEVILS Gate
toll house were preparing to pay toll for
the Club wagon, when we were informed
by Mr.. j. d. Treat that he had already
arranged that matter with Capt. Taylor.
We had previously been informed that
no toll was charged ut that gate for
Democratic professions or anything per-
tanning thereto, and felt afraid that our
Union procession might also be sighted
in n similar manner. We arc glad to
know that the toll has been paid, and
Cerberus satisfactorily sopped. We
wanted to have the thing publicly I'M
ders.ood, that's all. Thank you, Blotr-
hard, for your assistance. The Union
party pays its bills, but VIC know Of
some that the Democracy had better
pay, soon.
IMPORTANT NoTIcE.-ln another col
umn all interested arc particularly ad-
vised to read the advertisement of
Joseph Fredericks. Millmen, painters,
GLACIERS, paper hangers and others Of

The HAppIEsr MAN.-The most par
ticularly happy man we saw Mt the Sill
yer City Union jubilee Wednesday
evening was one OF Teutonic birth,
whose loyal keg was apparently full.
The more he listened. to the songs OF the
| Glec Club, the happier he got. lie iol-
lowed them about, wherever they went,
and when at one time he found them
| corrnlled in the corner Of q saloon, his
ioy knew no bounds. He worked his
way through the crowd, and up he got
on u billiard table, and insisted on
swinging his old ragged hat and cheer
ing every verse they sang. He had to be
pulled down, but he wouldn't stay
squelched. He rould jump up and down,
he tsould shout. Some of his friends
tried to talk to and quiet him. cts

ApvERrrsE.-Now is the time to ad-
v~crtise, and the GoLp HILL News is the
right ape to advertise in. Our circu-
lation is very extensive and large, the
News being the only evening paper pub
lished in Storey County, yet our rates
will be found exceedingly reasonable.
A glance at our advertising columns
will reveal the fact that the most pros
porous business people in the entire
community are those who advertise IN
the News. Everybody eagerly reads the
News for the latest and most reliable
tclegraphic dispatches, especially during
these stirring political times, aud the
holidays will soon be with us. IA
word to the wise" etc.
MAMMOTH SQUAsu.-Schaefcr, of the
well-known San Francisco Restaurant,
Gold Hill, this afternoon received n big
squash weighing liza pounds, from
Fish's ranch, on Carson River. Mr..
Fish informs US that this is one Of
twenty-eight the smallest Of which
weighed 80 pounds. These were all
| raised from only four hills, and shows
that Nevada is capable Of producing
something besides sagebrush and silver
bricks. Schaefer has got two or three
more of these big s~quashes, and says he
| shall feed his customers principally on
"punkin pies" hereafter.
PARApE.-Tho Sweeny Guard of Gold
Hill, together with the National and
Emne. Guards Of Virginia, marched
down through town and up again Mt
noon, to-day, parading as a prelir mary
to their grand target excursion OF TINS
afternoon, on the Divide. They had q
most excellent band OF music Mt their
head, and with their handsome uniforms
and cleaning array of b"yonets they
presented n very soldierlikc and for
midable appearance, as though they in
tended to make that poor devil Of a tar
get which brought up their rear, look
as If it had the smallpox before
night.
New FOUNDRY BUILDISG.-Mcad Il Co.
are about erecting n large new foundry
near the junction Of B and c streets, on
the Divide between Virginia and Gold
Hill. The grading for the floor is
already commenced, two large steam
boilers, portions Of machinery, and ma
terials for the building are already on
the ground, and the structure will soon
be commenced. The proprietors are
gentlemen we'll versed in the business,
and we doubt not will make this new
foundry n lucrative and creditnblc nd-
dition to the industrial home insti-
tutions of our young and thriving State.
OVERLAND NAIL AGRANGEASST.-The
telegraph informs is that ~ contract
was awarded on the 2lst iast. by the
Pos,onice Department at Washington
