MsrgoRIc SHOWER. - A meteoric
shower was predicted by the astrono-
which was to come oil in full view
of the North American continent ou
the 18th and l4th Of November, 1867.
But nobody in this region saw it, by
reason of the weather being cloudy ;
and it was generally concluded that
such q pyrotechnic exhibition did not
take place. But just one year after the
time set by the astronomers 1t has oc-
cured. This morning between IL and
{ O'Clock the grandest meteoric shower
ever seen in this State occurred aud
all who witnessed it express the great
est admiration of its magnificence.
Quite a large party was given at Fort
Homestead, Gold Hill, aud all its par
Elephants viewed and admired the mys-
terious visitation. The flying meteors
kept up their nocturnal illuminations
for four hours, and hundreds Of them
could be seen, comet-like, flying through
endless space. The weather was quite
cold at the time, and these meteors en-
hibited themselves above and TO the
southwark of Gold Hill. We expect 10
hear Of their being seen in other por-
tions of the Pacific coast. THE News is
ahead in making the announcement, OF
all competition "west Of the Rocky
Mountains" MS the Enterprise used to
state about its telegrams).
EXCELSIOR ITENs.-Parties just in
from Excelsior inform us that the recent
storm deposited three or four inches OF
snow on n level throughout the district.
The severe weather of winter, however,
has not as yet fully settled itself upon
that elevated region. Several OF the
mining companies there are working
with satisfactory results. The CalifOr-
nian Mill, near Meadow Lake, is run
ming on ore from their mine. The En-
pire, independence and other companies
near that place are busily Mt work de-
veloping good ore. The Enterprise
Company are at q complete stand still,
their valuable mine and mill lylhg idle,
for some reason or other probably best
known to the controlling stockholders.
The famous Mohawk 4 Montreal mine
is the most demonstrative OF "ll in the
district. The compsny's mill is con-
stantly running, and is now yielding
good returns from the ore Of the mine,
which is turning out richer and more
plentiful than ever.
TRASsGREssoRs, LOOK OUT.-At the
last meeting of the Gold Hill Board of
Town Trustees an ordinance was passed
severe penalties of fine or i'm
prisonment on all who shall hereafter
found guilty Of unrcasonably fast
driving within the town limits, allow
ing their horses, wagons or other ve-
hicles to stand upon or occupy any side
walk or sewer, or who shall be found
guilty OF keeping n disorderly house.
This ordinance can be found published in
another column Of this paper. All those
liable to transgress had better read the
ordinance forthwith aud regu-
late themselves accordingly.
PAREpA.RosA.-Among the beautiful
SONGS which this celebrated vocalist
sang when she gave concerts Mt
Piper's Opera House, recently, was
"Coming Through the Rye" It was
greatly admired, not only by the gentle
men, but also by the ladies. This re-
minds us that Doyle 4 Rainey, at their
elegant saloon in Virginia City, have
lately received the finest "Oid Rye"
ever brought to this State-and direct
from P~ittsburg, Pennsylvania, where
they have rye fields such rs the poet
had in his minds eye when he wrote
the song.
LIFE IYsURAScE.-J. A. Brumsey,
ESQ.,, general agent of the Pacific Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company for Ne
yada, Idaho, and Dakota, has COM
menced ca~nvassing Gold Hill and vicln.
ity for participants in the benefits OF
Life Insurance. An excellent opportu-
nifty is given of comparing the advan-
tages offered by the company he repre-
sents, with others. Read the adver-
tisement of the Pacific Mutual in an-
other column.
RoorEp Iy.-The new Catholic Chirch
Mt Virginia is now rooted in, safe from
the weather, and the spire is fast pro.
crossing upwards toward completion.
The interior finish will be proceeded
with rs fast as possible, aud we hinder
stand the intention is 10 dedicate the
church at Christmas. 1t is not proposed
to permanently occupy the building be-
next spring. It is even now quite
ornament IS that part OF tho city,
aud when completed will of course be
still more so.
