LAKE HoUsE.-Tom Roland, the
enterprising proprietor of the Lake
House at the head of Lake Bigler, will
have a regular opening of The hotel ON
the first Of July. The ride from the
Glenbrook to Roland's place is equal
if not superior in point of beauty to
any on the banks of the Rhine. No
dust, no hills to climb, hut a lovely
drive on a smooth road and the whole
way shaded by the boughs of gigantic
pines. For those who desire 10 camp
out and rusticate, in reality, the head
of the lake is the place. Toe beach Is
splendid for miles. with a gentle slope
to the water The scenery ofthe neigh
boring country is grand, and the in
habitants hospitaole to a fault.
THEArRIcAL.-We remind our read
ers that the talented Mrs. Bates will
play Queen Elizabeth in Carson City on
Tuesday evening next. Mrs. Bates is
said by critics of eminenee, to be un-
equalled in her delineation of the
Virgin Queen We advise those de
sirous of witnessing the legitimate
drama in its purity, to secure seats at
an early day, as the theater will surely
be crowded on the occasion. The
company will perform for three nights
onIv-Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday, 18th, 26th, and 9th inst.

guide of all the Chinese. He is a very
respectable a and thought much of
bv all our merchants and fellow citi-
ems.
Observation-Disclosures in the south
ern portion Of town complain of the
stencil arising from dead animals
drawn away and deposited in close
proximity to their houses. They de
sire to know ifthere is no power vested
in the hands of the city officials to
compel the interment of defunct ami
mails. The practice should be stopped.
as valuable lives may be sacrificed by
the malaria arising from the putrid
flesh.
Hill, w. c. Grimes, and James A. St.
Clair, left yesterday afternoon for Vir
gina city, on their way to their homes
in Churchill county. There are thous-
andS ct handsoner men than either OF
the three, but we defy the world to
produce three more honest, upright
gentlemen. Good luck attend them:
of good wishes they have enough and
to spare.
