| REBUILDING.-T. Beer & Bro, mer-
chants and butchers of Empire City,
| who lost their slaughter house by fire
on Tuesday evening last, will rebuild
on the same site. The fire, it is now
believed, originated from some boys
firing off a miniature cannon IN the
vicinity in the afternoon preceding the
conflagratiOn. The furnace used IN
irving tallow was at the opposite M
of the building from where the fire
caught, was we'll incaSed i'll brick, and
is still perfect in all its parts. Fire
had been used in the furnace in the
forenoon. but was entirely eN-
tinruished before the butchers left the
premises. The enclosure at the end
of the building where the fire orig
mated contained a qdantitv of old
straw. and it is believed that this was
| ignited by the wadding from the can
, non used by the boys, who went to
the slaughter house to procure pow
der.
STATE PRIsoA.-At1airs at the State
Prison are all that could be desired.
An inspection Yesterday satisfied us
that the discipline of officers, guards
and prisoners, the cleanliness OF the
! cells, rooms and grounds generally,
and the general management Is excel
lent, and the institution is conducted
on the most economical principles.
| As the prisoners are marched from
and to their cells they are carefully
! counted three times each day. by two
different officers. so that no mistake
can occur, and no prisoner can have
an opportunity of escaping from the
ward by %concealing himself until the
dav-sentiuels are called in. y large
amount of fine stone Is beng taken
out and GreSsed-amOng which are
several huge blocks 10 be used tor the
foundation of engines and machinery.
THE FEsTIvAL.-The strawberry
festival and social hop given under
the auspices of the ladies' of the Epls-
copal Church, night before last, was
numerouSlv attended. and was a very
pleasant affair. considering the crowd
ed state of the small hall and the
usual scarcity of seats. Turner Hail
will do very well for a private party,
but is hardly large enough for a pub
lie one. Ten per cent. OF the EXTRA
receipts of a festival given III a large
hail amply provided with seats would
cover anv reasonable charge tor rent.
The neck-tie quadrille came OF some
time during the evening, but seats be
ING scarce and the hall overcroWded
We did not remain to see the fun.
E. B. BAT.-A gentleman residing
in the eastern portion of the State, and
W no is soon TO become Il resident OF
this city, has in his possession a sub
stantial and handsome silver mounted
base ball bat. which he has rendered
to the Fourth of July Committee OF
Carson City as a contribution to the
celebration of the coming Fourtil-thC
bat to be played for on that day. ltgI>
a handsome prize. and we suppose
there will be a lively contest for Its
possession on the Fourth. Irot out
YOUR base ball clubs and send them

best" to keep the prize at the Capital.
