their studies. Tho most advanced class

Coraps AND CoLps.--Thc weather at
the present time seems peculiarly con-
duciye Ia the requirement Of colds. In
this respect neither adults nor children
are spared. Almost every one Is aiiiict-
oi with a severe cough. pneumonia or
some kindred disease. The children in
the schools, after having been allowed q
short recess, ON entering the school,
room q series Of coughing or
barking which renders II almost impos-
sible for the teacher TO continue recital
tion-.
BrtLprSa AcrrIr.-The ground was
broken this morning for several new
buildings on the Divide. Near the nm
nit Of Monument Hill. in rear OF the
Imperial mine. n lofty residence OF q
s,yio OF architecture has been recently
erected. II is sheathed in iron plate.
AMI very much resembles n OF the Old
castles ON the Rhine.
Tux BALL Last NIdmr.-The terpsi-
chorsan entertainment given at National
Guard Hall. Virginia City. last night, by
E.curial Logs No. Z. =. and A. ~, was
grand success, financially aud other
wise. Tho ladies' In attendance were
elegantly attircd. and looked more thnn
ordinarily attractive. The music WI.
greatly enjoyed by all in attendance.
InxroIArIoS. Immigrants continue to
flock to Virginia and Gold Hill from all
parts Of tho East. The worst feature
about thi. influx Of population Is that
the mines cannot begin to furnish en-
ploymsnt for them all.

Sami. Plat. tho well known clothing
merchan, in Virginia. will be married on
