THE Ice CROP. So far the weather
has been unpropltious for harvesting
ice, notwithstanding the apparent cold
ness of the last few nights. John Jur-
gems, of the City Brewery. informs US
that he has been unable to lind ice more
than three inches thick along the river,
aud to insure a supply for next season
be has to resort to artificial means, and
daring the present cold spell has been
flooding branch of the river to increase
tue thickness of the ice. BY this means
ice five or six inches thick, and clear as
crystal. is formed, and with this arti Gle
ne proposes to fill his icehouss. Usu-
ally ice from six to ten inches thick
forms on the sloughs and arms of the
river. where there is no perceptibe cur
rent, but this winter is an exception to
the ordinary rule, So far as cold weather
is concerned.

THE SOCIAL AT TIE HUMBOLDT
HOUSE,


The Bon Ton Party of the County.
Last night the grandsst affair of the
season came off at the
HUMBOLDT HOUSE.
Among the guests were ladies and
mento, Reno, Mill City, Wfnnemucca
and Carlin. The dance commenced at
7 o'clock, to music from Buckner's
string band. Three qnadrilles were
danced at time, aud the dancers were
conceded to be the most stylish that
ever graced hall in Nevada. DIR. Gould
of Mill City was unanimously chosen
floor manager, and conducted the per-
Torrance in superb style and in the
most orderly and satisfactory manner.
Shortly after nine O'Clock supper was
announced. and all present RECALLED
themselves on the sumptuous repast
prepared for the occasion. The next
thing in order was
LEAP YEAR DANCE,
for which the ladies chose partners,
and proved the correctness of the theory
of natural selection by asking only the
handsomest of the other sex.
At two o'clock in the morning the
dancers, satiated with pleasure, ceased
to trip the light fantastic toe, and with
a unanimous vote of thanks TO the la
dies of the Humboldt House and the
popular proprietors, Messrs. Meacham
d Blakeslee, retired to dream-of the
Centennial and other good things.
