VIRGINIA CITY is celebrated for its
balls, dances and songs We venture to say
that no other city of its size on this contin-
ent can excell her in the number of social
gatherings held within her walls during the
short space of n year. This frequency of
festive scsues is in a great measure indicative
of the genial, hospitable and social nature of
her people. Tonight the grand party of the
season Is announced to come OF at How's old
store, which Is = most admirable room. It is
given by the citizens and 10 managed by q
COMMITTEES. A splendid time is anticipated.
HELENA LBRARY.-In view of the
approach of the active business season of the
year when the -glistening of dueats aud the
jingle of louis-d'o 'ors have more pleasure and in
terest to the mortals who inhabit Helena,
than pouring over the pages Of some classical
work, the directors of the Helena Library
have decided that on and after to-day, the
rooms of the Library will be open only from
Z O'Clock, p. N. to IL p. NJ, during which
time it will be made comfortable and attract
i've for all patrons. This we apprehend is
sufficient, for few of our people from this
time on will have any time to devote to the
amusement of their intellectual faculties.
Grow ANNUITIEs.-Six teams of Hugh
Kirkendall's Express Freight Train will leave
this city to-day for the Yellowstone via Bose-
man City, carrying 2l,Ooo pounds of freight,
consisting of sugar, coffee, bacon, clothing,
ETC., being annuity goods for the Crow Indi-
ans, to be delivered to them at Twenty-Five
Yard Creek, on the 18th day of April. Be
sides these goods shipped from this point,
there will be 500 racks of -four loaded at Gal
latin Valley to be also distributed as annuity
goods. Happy Crows.
PERsoNAL.--We were pleased to make
the acquaintance of j. Skidmore, Esq, pay
master of Wells, Fargo & Co., who is in our
sity on aprofessional trip. Mr.Skidmors speaks
in the highest terms of our country and does
not qualify his praises of its beauty. He
gives rather an unfavorable account of White
Pine, and finds more excitement in regard to
it in this Territory than in Salt Lake City.
He leaves by tomorrow mornings coach for
the railroad and Salt Lake.
L. s. WILD, Esq, who for many years
been manager of the Telegraph Office at Vir-
ginia city leaves on next Saturday for Salt
Lake, there to resume his duties slight
ming striker" We regret TO note Mr.. Wild's
departure from our Territory. and are pleased
to learn he will continue to be our near
neighbor. BY his attention to business, his
skill as an operator and his uniform courtesy
he has gained the respect of his fellow citi-
gems and become universal favorite. He is
succeeded by Mr.. Kern, gentleman of tele-
graphic note, and who Is very highly spoken
of. Virg ginIa city, speaking telegraphically,
is resolved into n "way Office"
WELLS, FARGO & Co.'S. coaches will in
n day or two commence running to this city
via Corinne, and at the same time a daily line
of coaches will be put on the route between
Sc. Lake, and Corinne, this will shorten the
time between the railroad and this place at
least one-hah a day, which will be a great con-
venience to every business man and traveller.
Col. HANNA is in receipt of orders
from Department Headquarters to immediate
ly report to Omaha, there to receive govern
ment funds and return to Montana by first
the Missouri river. We are pleased to know
the ColonePs absence will not be protracted.
