ObLbhhAlA VI iAo
citizens of Irish extraction and their
friends celebrate the birthday of st
Patrick, the good Patron Saint of the
Emerald Isle, in a somewhat modified
form, as compared with the celebration
of last year. The streets are very muddy
and the weather not very propitious for
any public procession or similar demon
~stration-wc believe, however, that st.
Patrick's Day has never been noted for
fine weather. High mass was solcm-
nizcd at st. Patrick's Church this morn
ing ut 10 o'clock, with all its appropri-
ate ceremonies, vocal and Instrumental
music, etc., the church being well filled
with q large and Interested audience.
Tonight Andy Welch gives his grand
st. Patrick's Ball, at the San Francisco
Restaurant, Gold Hill, and similar balls
will be given at Athletic Hall, Virginia,
aud at Carson. We are happy in the
receipt Of complimentary tickets to each
one of them, and intend to 60. We are
not particularly lively on the dance, but
our toes are fantastic" to n certain
degree.
OK THE CELERRATE.-Mart. Reese and
Captain Charley, both Piutc Chiefs, are
celebrating the "l7th of Ireland on
their own peculiar hook. Mart. was up
to Virginia At an carly hour this morn
ing and got his mustachc and himself
rejuvenated, his boots blacked, and a
new bOb-tailed coat. He will cut n
stunning appearance ut Andy's ball
tonight. Captain Charley is also gor-
gcously arrayed in u time honored plug
hat covered with q dazzling armament
of little scraps of looking-glass, n fine
pair of blue dunsaree overalls, u brown
linen sack, a big red sash, and his
luxuriant raven trcSSes hung with
swinging jcwelry made out of chunks
of brass and beef bones. He went up
to Virginia this forenoon, attended by
some Of his staff, in order to review the
Emmett Guard-after which be will
probably parade tho balance Of the day
in Gold Hill.
