TIE CARSON RIVER WooD DEIvE.-Our
old friend of the County Commissioners
Board and late respected associate on the
Republican County Central Committee,
Jones of Empire, informs US that there
are yet 5000 cords of wood, more or
less, to arrive at Empire; that the rear
of the drive is about 20 miles up stream
above the dam; that the floating Of
the wood down to its destination will
have to remain suspended until the
Spanish Ditch and its fumes are re-
paired-which it will take about fort
night to do;-that there are about %
men at the rear of the drive and 80 more
along the stream between the rear and
the dam, and that winter will probably
have set in before all the drive is down.
The OLYMPIC GVMNAsT1C CLUB Of
Carson, numbering, at present, about
twenty-five members with the promise of
a large accession TO its membership, de-
termined, lately. to vary their regular
exercises, and did So. after the most
charming fashion. by opening the season
of dancing, Monday night, with select
ball at the Turn Verein Hall. The
party proved delightful in all its APP
pointments. The music from four
pieces was spirited, and the calling by
Al. Mills was .'done up brown" The
hall was put in excellent order by an
energetic party of the young gymnasts
and presented quite an attractive and
tasty appearance, the wall adorned with
regalia, banners, and q profusion of
1hos
nearly all young and just at that vigor-
Gus, happy turn of years when recrea-
ton is resorted to and enjoyed with a
spirit and with the whole soul. One |
must have been there Monday evening,
to realize what a number of interesting |
and beautiful girls there is in Carson
that are just now upon the threshold OF
womanhood. The young gentlemen
who attended, happy in the privilege of
escorting their charming companions
and rendering them the refined obeis-
ance of gallantry, would do credit to
any town of Carson's dimensions, for
manners, intelligence, and gentlemanly
bearing. Dancing set in towards nine
o'clock. The spirit of jollity blended
with decorum prevailed from beginning
to end; and, although the same remark
is often MADE, there never was more
real enjoyment derived from the exercise
of dancing. We heartily believe, since
the beginning of time. The musicians
had been, engaged, at first, to play only
until one o'clock, but nobody could
think of leaving the floor then: and
after returning from the liveliest sup
per scene at Uncle Frisbie's. the
dispensers of sweetly enlivening
notes were paid by subscription another
pile of coin to continue their strains
until three in the morning. No more
may be said. hardly, except in common
1ation of the manner in which the club
have thus initiated what, we are told, is
% be . series of dancing parties to ex-
end through the Fall and winter season.
That queer milliner woman who dis
inguished herself while here, some
weeks since, has been attending to bust
hess in Empire for some days past. II,
shen she leaves that city she should by
my accident be unable to renew her &C
luaintance with the ladies of Carson the
though grievous, will be
.ndurable because Of the consoling
bought that she will make admirers
