MONTGOMERY GUARD BALL.-The
first annual ball given at Odd Fellows
Hall, last evening, by the Montgom-
cry Guard, was n grand success. The
hall was beautifully and tasteiully dec
grated with numerous appropriate aud
pleasing devices. The guards, IN their
new uniform, looked every inch the
soldier, and were very much lionized
by the fair sex, a large number OF
whom were IN attendance. The toilets
worn by the ladies were exceedingly
beautiful. Ingraham's band furnished
some excellent music for the occasion.
The affair, taken all In all, was n Of
the most enjoyable OF the season. The
Montgomery Guard possesses all the
elements Of a splendid military organ
ization and we shall expect to hear a
good report of them whether In the
private walks Of life, or II the occasion
requires 1t, on the tented field.
DoHs NOT WISH TO BE ENLIGHTENED.
Virginia City has = curiosity in the
person Of a business man who does not
take a newspaper of any description.
The bump of curiosity Is but slightly
developed on the Uranium OF this indi-
| vidual. as he seems to take no Interest
whatever In the Modoc war. women's
rights conventions, labor strikes. or
the Japan mission. Verify. "where
ignorance is bliss tits folly to be wise"
OF QUESTIONABLE AaE.-To-day
John Farnham. of the Bank Exchange
Saloon, Gold Hill, presented this office
with a venerable and ornary looking
bird which he called q spring chicken.
We are at q loss to understand his mo-
tiyes In donating to our avlary this
"omineus bird Of yore" as he has no
redeeming points whatever. 1t Is no
more Of a spring chicken than Farnham
is.
