EUREKA. May l. 1873.
EDITORS NEWS May-day does not receive the
same attention from our money y-seeking people
as was the during the younger days Of many
among us. II seems that old memories
buried in the lapse of time, and one can scarcely
believe, amid the turmoil of worldly strife, they
were ever children. With u.s. in this Western
life, we seem to have no pleasant May-days.
Work, toll, and struggle (; jostling each other In
the walks of life, all seem intent on only one
thing--money.
DECORATION DAY.
This event. so generally celebrated throughout
the United States, seems TO have passed away
without much, if any, attempt on the part of
our people to celebrate its recurrence. There
are many among us who served on either side.
in the late civil war, but there being want of
concert of action, no demonstration was made.
In this connection am reminded of the late ae-
tion of our Mexican War veterans, of whom we
have goodly number. At late meeting per-
manent organization of those who served in that
war was perfected. with Major w. W. Mccoy,
State senator, as President, and Dan Morgan as
Secretary. Much enthusiasm WIS manifested,
and the roll-call shows a greater number of
members in this vicinity than one would imagine
possible. The object of the organization il
charitable one, and all hope its Inauguration may
prove the nucleus of a larger growth.
ODD FEfLows' BALL.
This interesting and pleasant occasion has
come and gone, leaving nothing but happy
miniscences of the general good time. 1t was
certainly the finest party ever enjoyed among
the many splendid affairs held in Eureka, and
everybody seems to have enjoyed themselves
hugely. The fine new Hall WAS properly deco
rated, and shone resplendent with the array of
regalias and insignia Of the Order. The mem-
bers of the fraternity were many in number. CIV
ing volume to the magnificent odes which opened
the festivities. An Grafton, delivered by p. G.
Hubbard, was one showing thorough know
ledge of the origin and progress of the Order,
and was instructive as to the principles and de-
signs of the same. doubt If, among all the va
rious Lodges in this and other States Of the
Union. any grander or more glorious celebration
was had
ANusEAfENrs ETC.
We have been favored with quite display of
talent in the line Of amusements lately. After
the performances of Mr. aud Mrs +. NJ Bates,
Professor Mcdonald held forth a lecturer, and
recently the troupe, consisting of Miss Maggie

fayorite here. Amusements, particularly of
worthy character, are well patronized here,

GENERAL ITEMS.
The experimental trip Of Dr. McKenney's fur
mace was not success. but other experiments
will be tried which may result favorably. In
common with all other new inventions, this one
does not escape the disadvantages consequent
ON the trial trip. All old Eurekans well reInem-
Der the many failures resulting from the first
attempts at smelling our ores in this district in
the furnaces now In vogue, and how everybody
said that II could not be made successful, until
bullion commenced to flow and snecess was as
sured. So with the new improvement. Failures
may come, aud weeks, perhaps months. elapse
before final success can be made, but failure
is not to be anticipated. The heartfelt wishes of
all in the community is with the projectors of
the new furnace. and all wish them to succeed
Irrepressible Bill sweeny has returned from a
trip to San Francisco, whore he says he has pur-
chased some fine new buggies, etc, for livery
purposes. He says epizooty has raised the price
of stock down in that country, and good horse
is now worth almost his weight in gold.
