The EMMET GUARD PICNIC.-Al-
though much has been said concern
ing the proposed excursion of the
Emmett Guard to the Eden of Nevada"
we heard nothing definite concerning
the picnic until yesterday, when we
were informed by E. D. Sweeney that
arrangements had been perfected to
use his ranch for the occasion. n
place referred to is the most beautitai
in the neighborhood. being a nne
plateau of several acres. The trout
streams, spoken of by the editor Of
the Gold Hill News, are full of trout;
leastways, a. Mrs. Nickeiby would
say, if they are not trout they are TIT
tlebrats. and may grow into trout dur
ing the present week. If the weather
continues as warm as now. There
will certainly be no hoodluns To an
noy the brave soldiers, unless they
are imported from Storey county, as
that species OF biped does not flourish
in Carson City. The Emmett Guard
are welcome to the use of IL lovely
valley, and the more so for exhibiting
so much more taste than the Tnfn

Van Bokkelen's garden for their recent
picnic. We shall receive the Emmets
with a guard of honor on their arrival,
even if that guard should consist of
ourself alone.
A TERRIBLE SCARE.-On Tuesday
evening, as a carriage containing two
ladies and driver was coming along
the Washoe Canyon towards Carson.
a tremendous blast of rock on the Va
T. r. X. occurred which nearly threw
the ladies' into spaSms: in fact, II of
them who related the fact, Yesterday,

That particular part of the u is in
itself dangerous to drive along with
scary animals. and it is a wonder that
an accident lid not occur in this in
stance. There should he some means
adopted to warn approaching travellers
of the letting off of a blast, especially
as in that canvon there is not DON to
turn a vehicle. if necessary.
The WEArHER.-The storm of Tues
day night reviviied everything ami
mate and inanimate. Yesterday morn
lug Carson was the very personitica
ton of rgral beauty. The trees had

wild and cultivated. emitted the most
oderous fragrance; the birds saugtheir
sweetest notes, and ever the much
abused sagebruSh Frightened into a
lovely plant. Happy morning greet
ings passed between friend and friend, |
and bright faces seemed to reflect joy
arising from the fact of their lines
being east in so lovely i heritage As
this beautiful town of ours. Hop
vines grew several feet, and grain sew
eral inches yesterday. Truly, it was
a lovely day.
FRIsBIE's REsTAURAST.-In the
window of the cosy department set
apart for ladies and families, we yes
terday saw a fine assortment of candy
exhibited for sale. AS an ornament
to the show window in front, Frisbie
has got a mechanical Punch and Judy
show, on a small scale. 1t consists of
a SQUARE glass case in which are tive
dancing figures. This he winds up
and starts as soon as the gas IS It,.
The window is crowded for hours in
the evening, and the good show of grub
in the show case induces many All one
to go in and eat. Ice and strawberry
cream can be had at all hours.
Still IN TIE FIELD.-Under this
caption Davis IL ellison come out in a
column advertisement, in which nu-
articles for sale by them are
itemized. That their goods are sold
as cheap and perhaps cheaper than
any hoUSe in town, can be proved
by testing their prices. That they
have an immense stock of goods is
patent to all. That their business is
the amount of goods constantly
arriving is a sufficient proof, and last
lv. that George ellison is a thorough
business man. his great success and
the style of his advertisement should
be sufficient proof.
