Orndorff has . 10, Of shade trees, rose
bushes and other ornamental shrub
berry, set out in large tubs, and ranged
in a row along the front. They present
quite . pretty appearance from the

to cast u shade wherever required,
regardless Of how the sun shines. The
Professor has also turnips, corn, pump
kins, barley, wheat aud mint, all
growing green and thrifty. 1t is quite

fragrant Havsnas in your mouth, 81,

seepery and gaze on the ever.changing
views Of the passing throngs aud
vehicles in the busy street, enjoying At
the same time perhaps q social chat

other genial companion.
A Truly FINE PicrunE. An oil
painting representing Emerald Bay,
Lake Tsboe, was placed on exhibition
last evening 10 the front window Of
Kirk l. Co.'s drug store, Virginia, for
the critical inspection of the public, and
attracted much attention. Il Is the
work Of Howard Campion, the we'll
known artist in that city, and from a
good square view of all its various
points, we certainly feel justified in con-
sidering il the best picture we have vet
seen produced by Mr.. Campiou. The
perspective 10 fne, the eoloring true to
nature, and ln all its details il is Il truly
correct delineation Of the beautiful and
romantic scene it represents. The snow
clad SUBMITS Of the Sierra in the back
ground contrast agreeably with the dark
pines, FRS and green grassy slopes ON
the shores Of the beautiful lake; and
over the calm, blue, ripping waters and
sandy beach i, thrown the delicate tints
of u warm. glowing sunset, the whole
comprising a picture Of rars beauty,
and one OF which The artist may we'll be
proud.

MoRr New SIDEWALKS "A perfect
mania for new sidewalks prevails at
Virgins, and the chances are that these
b~epe6cen. arrangements viii be ex-
tended clear through to Gold HILL
across the Divide. Both sides OF The
Courthouse, on B street, Feusier Il Co.
have lust renewed the sidewalks in front
Of their property. About the Junction
of B and c streets, on the Divide, oppo.
site Kravse's store, the sidewalk erected
las, year in one place is getting a sort
of twist over the bank, and unless soon
secured will tumble over eniireip. "A
stitch in time" etc. There are several
sections of sidewalk here in Gold Hill
which nigh, be renewed to advantage.
The sidewalk and steps in front OF Judge
Ellis Office have been renewed within
The last few days, aud presents a very
much improved appearance in every
respect. Let others follow suit.
