by her numerous friends In Virginia
City and Gold Hill. Judging from the
printed programme which will be
found in another column Of the News.
we infer that the entertainment will
be one Of the finest ever given In Vir-
ginla City. All of the leading vocal
and Instrumental talent in the city
will appear. An additional Interest,"
ing feature Of the entertainment Will
be the military evolutions BY the Ma
tional Guard who have consented to
appear In their celebrated lightning
drill. with orchestral accompaniment
by Professor jacobson. Part second
will open with the beautiful transfor-
nation scene of the "Naiad Queen
Professor Cssari Caspari will be pref
ent and favor the audience with Donl-
zetti's la Favorita, aclarionet solo,
which alone will be worth the price Of
admission. We trust that those Of our
readers who are unsteady Inclined
will take the pains to read the pro-
gramme, which Is an unusually at
tractive one. The boX-sheet for the
entertainment will be kept at Fred
ricks' iewelry store. We presume that
Jake White, the accommodating pro-
prietor Of the bus line, will make pro.
vision for carrying the Gold Hill peo-
pie TO and from the concert.
ASTRONOMICAL Observation-Disclosures
John C. weyss, U. 5. Army, w. d.
Wheeler, brother of Lieutenant Whee-
Ter, and Sergeant j.. +. Kirkpatrick of
the corps OF Typographical Engineers,
arrived In Virginia City this morning.
The above named gentlemen were sent
out from Washington by the Govern
ment for the purpose OF locating the
site for a monument In Western Ne
yada to be made use OF in taking astrO-
nomical observations. The summit OF
Mt. Davidson possesses peculiar ad-
vantages for an astronomical obServa-
tory, and it is to be hoped that the
surveyors will decide to station their
theodolite on that elevated lookout.

says: "Penurious penman Of ample
leisere are trying to see how many
words a postal card will carry without
stopping over. An Indianapolis III
surance agent piled on l.9OO." Ben
Stern, Of Gold Hill, has, since his re-
covery from the epizootic, been trying
his hand at this very thing, and has
succeeded In getting 1887 words on

CITY OF a detective. After eXhauSting
every other argument that he could
think of to induce his inebreated BROTH
err to accompany him to the campoody,
he finally gained his point by telling
him that he would report the case 10
Harkin in which event he would be
arrested and have to pay a fine Of $2OO.

made in the negotiations for the ap-
preaching fight. Both men express
themselves willing to fight so that II Is
hard to tell which party Is sashful
about going inside Of the ropes.
THE CAUSE OF Ir.-The present cold
suap is principally attributable to the
large number of patent ice cream
freezers which McCoon has recently
introduced into Gold Hill. Tho more
he distributes the colder the weather
gets. He says he will go to peddling
hot whisky toddies shortly.
