METEOROLOGICAL.
ARMoRY HALL.-In HAVING tb;o o.n,ral

hall fitted up for theater Captain Hanly
goes on the adage that whatever is
worth doing is worth doing WELL" A very
fine stage, having a depth of 30 feet. is
being erected by Mr.. Flanagan, while the
hard finish and ornamental stucco are
under the superintendent of Mr.. Carlin.
For workmanship it will compete with
any hall of its size on this coast, while it
undoubtedly stands pre-eminent in the
State OF Nevada. In converting it into
theater, everything is SO arranged that
the stage, seats and all other aduncts to
theatrical performance, can be removed
in the course of forty minutes. This es-
adjustment supplies what was hitherto
a great want in Pioche-a building that
can either be devoted to balls, meetings
or dramatic performances as occasion
may require, and certainly Captain Han
ly's enterprise must merit the public ap-
probation in accomplishing that which
ever so many talked-of companies and
joint stock arrangements failed to carry
out.
The GRovE.-This place, situated be-
yond the busy portion of the city, is be-
coming popular resort. The trees,
which have all been transplanted, are
doing remarkably well. As they continue
to grow and increase they will so add to
the surroundings as to make it most
delightful spot. The proprietors, Messrs.
Judson d Cox, have gone to heavy ex-
pense in procuring the trees, and in pro-
viding an inexhaustible supply of water
to afford them the necessary nourishment.
Two large swings are provided for the
amusement of patrons of the establish
ment. At no place in town can a more
pleasant place be found, and when their
trees have expanded, the Grove will
become the Woodward's Gardens of
Phoebe. By their energy and the expen-
ditnre of no small amount of coin, the
proprietors are literally making the des-
ert blossom as the rose. As they have
gone to SO much expense in fitting up
handsome and attractive place of resort,
they merit liberal share of public pat.
ronage.
CHARGE OF PERJURY.-Yesterday the
case of the State of Nevada against Mateo
Gregg was heard before Justice Stouten-
burgh. ]. G. Foster appeared for the
State and Pitzer & CorsOn for the de-
PENDANT. Mr.. r. NJ. Cook, an assayer in
this city, appeared as the complaining
witness. The testimony was all heard
yesterday, and Justice Stoutenburgh re-
served his decision. At 10 O'Clock this
morning We shall know whether the &C.
cused will be bound over to await the
action of the Grand Jury or discharged.
ARRIvED.-Messrs Bird and Dudley, of
the Bella Bird Dramatic Troupe, arrived
yesterday morning by the Salt Lake stage.
They represent the roads as in an almost
impossible condition, owing to the recent
heavy rains. Great difficulty was expert
enced in getting through at all The mud
was simply terrific, being so deep that the
horses could scarcely worry their way
through it. These difficulties may well
be borne philosophically, as the extension
of the Utah Southern this way will soon
give nc tho aavantnca &c ~a;l~oaa DOM
munication with the City of the Saints.
The GREAT EAsTERN-We have been
requested to state when and where the
Great Eastern was launched. In the alb
sence of proper authority, we cannot say
definitely; but we learn from gentleman
who is pretty well posted in such matters
that the Great Eastern was launched in
1854 or 1855. at Russell's dock yard,
Woolwick. England. The Great Eastern
arrived at Portland, Maine, August 6,
1858. She was 700 feet long, go feet
high, tonnage $4,000, drew in ballast 26
feet
CONGRESSMAN KENpALL.-The Eureka
Sentinel says Congressman Kendall will
practice law at Phoebe during the Con
gressional recess, and at the end of the
term will quit politics. We hope this
may prove correct. as Mr.. Kendall is an
estmable gentleman, and has many
personal friends here.
OPENING NIGHT DEFERRED. - 1t wa.
previously announced that the BellI
Bird Troupe would give their first enter
tainment at Armory Hall this evening
but owing to the time requisite to fit NJ
the hall for theatrical purposes, notwi tn
standing the large force employed, it ha:
been found necessary to defer the open
ing till tomorrow night.

Committee on Fourth of July celebration
