was exhibited in this place yesterday, and
" II be to day at Ophir. In reference to
it, we extract the following from one Of
the San Francisco papers:- t
"You laugh at the name, and half whis-
per, shoax' Itis averitable, unartiticial,
unpainted bear, that am going to write
Of. Walking up j street. little above
First, in SACRAMENTO, the other day,
noticed our worthy friend Hugh Shaw;
under the canopy of vast advertisement,
headed with the name above. Twas taken
back. Could it be that one of the most
honest of our fellow citizens was playing
tune of profit on the public gullablfty? !?
"Walk in,' said friend shaw, and
walked in. True enough, there was a
Ihalf-grown bruin, not grizzly brown, nor
black, hut ornamented with colors enough
to make a rainbow, and pretty well ar
ranged withal. But hadn't some Yankee
painted the creature? If he had, it was
work well worth dollar to see. No
test which could apply was nice enough
to detect the cheat. 1t is my conviction
that everything about the animal is natu-
raj as life. And, sincerely, 1t is sight
worth looking at. The curious student
of natural history-yes, every man-wIll
find Mr.. Shaw's exhibition at consider
able remove from humbuggery."

our town in the early part Of the week
for Trinity county. He has just returned
from the Truckee Government Re ief
Station. to the supervision of which he
was appointed upo" the return of Bodley.
From all the information he could gather,
no more Immigrants were likely to come
in that route after the time of his break

rather feeble health, having suffered much

sResolved, That the flag Of the thir-

"As new States were added to the Union
fron. time .;,ru, new stripes were added
to the flag, till the number had increased

DESTRUCTION OF THE "OLD FoRr."-
The Fort Wayne Sentinel says: "We
regret to announce that the venerable old
block house, the last relic of Fort Wayne,
is being pulled down. The tmbers are
perfectly sound, and the building might
have stood for another generation, to
point out shespot rendered famous in the
annals of the West by many scene of
heroic bravery and daring. Nothing will
remain to show that it was once Mad

of the savage enemy's country"

The projected Worlds Fair in this city, to be
opened on the Fourth OF July next, on Reservoir
Square, has become the town talk" new plan
for its management having heen preached, which
may result in the discontinue of the whole pro-
ject 1t is proposed that the proceeds, after they
have reached a certain sum, shall be paid over by
the Superintendent OF the Exhibition to the Mana
gers of the American Institute, an establishment
founded here for the encouragement of similar ex.
positions This concern having a fund of its own
and deriving large annual income from its Au
tumn Fairs, is in no need of the money which it is
proposed to give it in this manner. The proposition
meets with disfavor, and may end in the destruc
ton OF our whole plan for an American Worlds
Fair. How ever, there is some talk of remova, to
Boston.

has decided to the contrary, in similar case
