REHEARsING.-The ladies of st. James
Church have commenced their rehearsals.
1t is their intention, about the holiday
times, to give an exhibition and concert
for the benefit of the Sunday School Ii
brary. We are informed that they will
not undertake the usual Christmas tree
arrangement. for the reason that to do
this they are compelled to beg for money
to buy the presents, and a majority Of
them are opposed to this mode of obtain
ing them. Have the concert by all
means; but we cannot forego the pleas
ures of the time honored custom of a
Christmas tree. What will the rising
generation" think of this kind OF con-
duct The hoodlum element If this
community will not stand it. Let some
of the ladies, outside of the church, take
the matter in hand, and see thatthe usual
collection is made, and that the presents
are purchased in time, andt that the school
house or some other public building be
properly trimmed for the occasion. We
must have a Christmas tree, for it is just
as much a necessity for the children as
are mince pies and doughnuts during the
holidays.

GONE TO SAN FRANcIsco.-Jot. Travis
and family left here for San Francisco
on Monday last, at which place be will
hereafter make his future home. They
have made Hamilton their home since
1869, prefering it to any other in Nevada
as a place of residence, and would not
have left here only that his business
called him to California. Their numer-
Gus friends here regret their departure.
IMPRovING.-Sheriff Raum informs us
that his deputy at Cherry Creek, Mr..
Maxwell, who was shot in the knee some
time since. while attempting to arrest
two men who were fighting. has had the
ball extracted by DIR. Dickinson of that
place, and is now in a fair way of recov-
cry. 1t will require some little time yet
before he will be able to attend to his
official duties.
WILLIAM HENDRIX, an old resident of
Hamilton, came in from Robinson last
Thursday night. He gives most encour-
aging accounts Of the mines in Ward Dis
trict, and thinks the time is not far dis
tant when they too can talk of bonanzas.
We are glad to get this intelligence.
GOVERNOR BLAsDEL arrived here on
thursdays stage. looking hale and
hearty as ever. A number of his old
friends have been entertaining him at the
jackson House since his arrival. Yes
terday he went to Treasure Hill to visit
the mines.
