Opp FELLOWS HALL.-At present
the workmen employed upon the Odd
Fellows Building are concentrating
their energies upon the dancing hall,
I'm order to have 1t in readiness for
Young Americas Ball, which occurs
on the 4th OF March. The dancing
hall, when completed, will be truly a
grand affair. The wainscotting and
fathing are nearly finished. and the
room will soon be ready for the ma
sons. This morning we dropped into
the hall aud were quite astoniShed at
the sight Of a ~nondescript looking We

and which might readily have e
mistaken for the Car Of Jnggernaut or
Virsil's Wooden Horse. The axletrees

supe%rstructure reached nearly to the
ceiling. On inquiry we learned that
it was n portable staging, designed rs
a support to the worSmen while en-
gagged in lathing and plasterins over

INCREASE OF ROLLING Srocx.-The
Virginia and Truckee Railroad Com
pany have recently procured from the
mandatory Of the Kimball Brothers,
San Francisco, nine new box cars, to-
cether with a large number I platform
cars. They have also manufactured al
their own repair shop in Virginia; SIX
combination ore cars. These last
named are the ordinary platform car
with a receptacle for ore In the centre,
and the advantage gained By their use
consists In the fact that they can he
used both ways. Heretofore all the
ore cars have been compelled to make
the return trip from the Carson river
empty. These cars carry down ten
tons Of ore; whereas the old ore Jumps
held only seven and they bring up
over eight cords Of wood OH the return
trip. We believe the invention oil the
combination a originated in h fer
tile brain Of William Bowker, master
mechanic Of the road.
