VIRGINIA LODGE, NO. 3.

An I.O.O.F. Event of Great Interest -- Mount Davidson and Virginia Lodges Consolidated -- The Wedding Ceremony Performed by Grand Master Mulcahy -- Installation of Officers Elect -- Speeches, Banquet, Etc.

Last evening, at Odd Fellows' Hall, the consolidation of Mount Davidson Lodge, No. 3, and Virginia Lodge, No. 10, went into practical effect, according to programme, with all due cermonies and observances. Grand Master P. H. Mulcahy presided, and other Grand Officers assisted in the exercises. The consolidated Lodge, which will henceforth be known as Virginia Lodge, No. 3, proceeded to elect officers, as given in the list below, after which a grand joint installation of all the officers of Wildey, Virginia and Nevada Lodges took place. A large attendance of brotheers filled the spacious hall to its utmost seating capacity, many being present from Gold Hill and elsewhere. Appropriate and felicitous speeches enlivened the occasion, and at 11 o'clock all marched down to the Dunlop House, where a bountiful and most excellently-prepared collation was spread, to which ample justice was done.

Reno and Zero.

In Reno, last Monday and Tuesday mornings, the thermometer was 20 degrees below zero, Wednesday morning 22, and on Thursday morning 24 below zero. This was the average temperature throughout the town, and, as a natural consequence, the Jack Frost grippe on the water-pipes was generally destructive, and the plumbers are just rolling in affluence. The regulation Reno plumber won't even look at your frozen waterpipe or faucet for less than $20, and, if he condescends to fix it, there's no limit to the elasticity of his conscience in the way of charges other than the extent of your pile. Should the cold snap continue, the plumbers will own half the town, with mortgages on the other half.

The V. & T. express due here at 1:10 did not arrive until 7:15 last evening, owing to heavy snow drifts on the C. P. in the Sierras. Our local railroad people, by extra exertions, manage to make fair time on their track, but it took four engines and a snowflow to pull the train in last evening, accompanied by the local.

The heaviest drifts formed on American Flat, between Horseshoe bend and Knickerbocker crossing, where the banks drifted seven or eight feet deep in a few hours. In Washoe Valley it was not as bad as had been expected.

The express did not leave last evening, as there were but few passengers, and as there were no connections to be made with the C. P. west-bound train, it being very late and not expected in Reno until some time to-day.
