ALL-SAiSrs' DAY.-To-day is All.
Saints Day, aud it being pleasant We
noticed large numbers Of ladies and
well dressed gents on the streets this
forenoon, going to attend services at
church. We copy the following relative
to this occasion, from the Nep american
Cyeiopad ia "All-Saints Day is a fss-
tival in honor of all the angels and
saints of heaven, observed in the Ro-
man Catholic church on November /,
and also in tha Protestant Episcopal and
Lutheran churches. In the Eastern
churches the same festival has been OBJ
served since the fourth century. In the
West, it was instituted by Pope Boni-
face w., in the early part Of the seventh
century, on the occasion Of defeating
the Pantheon, a temple built by Marcus
Agrippa, B. G. rs, in honor Of Jupiter
the Avenger, and all the gods, to the
worship Of the true God, under the in
vocation of the Virgin Mary and all the
saints"
FREsH BALrINoRS 0YsrERs.-Monuot,
whose well known family market store
is on G street, Virginia, a few doors
north Of the Enterprise building, receives
now daily, fresh oysters direct from Bal
timore, over the big railroad. They are
put up in little square tin cans-l0o in
each-iu their own liquor, just as they
come from the she'll, sealed up, packed
in sawdust and ice, and rushed through
to Reno in five days, whence they are i'm
mediately brought to Virginia by express.
He received q lot this morning, the ice
in which was not yet thawed. The
oysters were just as rich and nice rs
when taken from their native bed, and
were all sold within a couple OF hours.
Mounot has the exclusive agency OF one
party 10 Baltimore, who will see that he
is supplied regularly. he sells them at
some less than 81 so per can.
STEALING Tue NEws.-We are iu-
formed that a man was detected bya
waiter in a restaurant at Virginia three
or four days ago, stealing a copy Of the
GoLp Hill News. Copies Of the paper
have been missed several times lately,
and this time the waiter being on the
lookout, noticed the gentleman slyly
fold up the paper after reading it and
slip it quietly into his breast pocket.
Jus. q, he was leaving, the waiter
stepped up and took the paper from
him, causing his countenance to resem-
BILE that of = fellow caught stealing
sheep. He is said to be one OF the
crowd who went about Virginia a few
days ago trying to break down the cir
cnla,ion Of the News. We chsritably
defer publishing his name at present.
We can afford to be ~maguanimous.
No PouSDISG.-Chief Downey, of Vir-
ginia, was told by a Chinaman, last
evening, that a couple Of Gold Hill
Celestials had got into a muss about 81,
which one owed the other. Being I'M
able to pay {" no hab got" - the other
one pitched in and gave him a terrible
beating. so that it was thought be
would die. Dowuey inquired diligently
into the affair, but not being able TO
find the parties or a confederation OF
the story, he naturally concludes that
there is nothing in it.
Mas. WIxrERs.--The numerous friends
Of the es,imabls wife Of General John
B. Winters, will be panied to learn that
a dispatch from her physician at San
Francisco, at . o'clock P. n. to-day,
states that she was at that time con-
seious, but failing rapidly. General
Winters left last night, and will reach
San Francisco at I o'clock this evening.
CHANGE OF TIME.-Ses in the sdver-
tisement Of the California Steam Navi-
CATION Company, the changes in time Of
the steamers, plying between San Fran
cisco, Sacramento, Marysrille, and other
points on the Sacramento river, also the
rates Of fare.
THAT House. RArFLE.-The rattle Of
Mrs. Regau's house and lot, on the
Bowers grade, Gold Hill, will take
