Last Saturday was a beautiful day for
this time Of year. although in the alter
loon the zephyr was somewhat too lively
for outdoor comfort. Taken altogether.
however. a ~pleasantsr day for Christ
mas could hardly have been desired,
certainly not expected.
The school Rail
OF the previous evening. which came of
at Miners Union Hall. in this town. was
the only n planned for . Christmas
ball in either Gold Hill or Virginia. The
average Comstocksr contsnted himself
With his milk punch and turkey. while
the young idea. with horns pitched to
all degrees Of discord. was In its els-
ment.
The Satisani Guard,
OF Virginia, in full uniform. marched
out to their target. near the second
railroad tunnel, east OF the city, in the
forenoon. and INDUCED in q little target
shooting. 1t u said that up TO the time
the wind began blowing. their score was
the best ever mads in America.
A veisssser.
Quite a number OF musicians. playing
on brass instruments. marched down
from Virginia in the morning. to attend
high mass at ST. Patrick's Church in
this town. As they were passing the
Post onice. a young Gold Hitler, who
plum.d himself on the possession OF u

vidson, fell in bshind them and marched
down to the church. He evidently

pass such another day OF unalloyed
pleasure.
Tho children belonging to the N. Z.
Sunday School In Gold Hill had .
Christmas tree. on which many bsauti-
full presents were hung BY their friends.
The pleased countenances OF the little
folks, as they received their toys. proved
that, however trifing in the eyes OF
older people. to them they were ines-
Unable treasures.

At the same time that May Of the
children Of Gold Hill were being made
happy by the treasures OF the Christmas
tree. tho children belonging to the II.
T.. Sunday school OF Virginia were Civ
ing q concert. which afforded enjoyment
not only themselves bat to their
friends and many q homeless man in
tho city. The Presbyterian church.
where the concert was held. was liter
ally jammed with people anxious to
catch a ray OF tho enjoyment, which
like light. seemed TO psrvade tho whole
building. without wishing to be cap
tious. We cannot refrain from remarking
that were a little more Of the spirit OF
that concert infused into the heavy church
exercises. they would not only be more
popular but also beneficial. Many a
man who entered that building with

nothing bat trouble and disappoint-
ment. came out thinking there were
still q few bright spots left, and per.
haps . few things yet worth living for.
Aiseeiia.eess Esjeyse.s.
Several OF tho Cornish boys in Gold
Hill organized into a glee club. and
went from one to another saloon. much
to the enjoyment Of all who had tbs
pleasure Of hearing them. for some Of
the boys are really fine singers. Con-

Gold Hill or Virginia during the day or
evening. and altogether the day APP
