generally supposed that the brig Caroline es-
capped from the harbor without any clearance
papers from the Custom House; we understand
however. that she was regularly cleared, her
papers all being satisfactory at the time, the
proper parties hesitating not to take the oaths
prescribed. But as is known after she was
under way aud ont Of the harbor, the oaths
were violated and the bulk of her passengers
taken ON board. When she was cleared, the

PHELPS RANcH.-As an evidence of
the capabilities of the soil in the mountains,
where care is used in cultivation, we pre-
sent a few statistics from the above nameqsaa,
ranch. Mr.. Phelps informs us that the
past year he has had two and half acres
Of potatoes planted, which have yielded
p $50 pounds, or 500 bushels, Of first rate
potatoes, some of them weighing six or
seven pounds. He also set out 300 cab
bage plants, two-thirds of which have form
ed good heads. Two of the latter left at
our Office weighed about l3 pounds each.
He also set out 1900 plants of French tur-
nip which have thrived remarkably we'll.
He has also raised large amount of other
garden sauce, besides considerable guam
tity of excellent hay. The land on which
the above articles were produced is moist
needing no irrigation. In raising potatoes,
he informs US, lie merely cuts up the weeds,
without hoeing up the hills, as he had
found by experiment the potatoe thrives
better without it.

Amusements of the Week.

Our citizens have had the pleasure OF
welcoming back Mrs. Waller the past week,
after her successful visits to Downieville
and Marysville. On Wednesday evening
last she gave ballad concert in this city
in Frisbie's fine new Concert Hall" assis-
ted by Prof Downie, and Messrs Grambbs
and Hansen. Mrs Waller seemed to be
in excellent spirits, and sung with even
more than ordinary taste aIfa skill, TO
large audience of our citizens, most of
whom her previous visits had made warm
friends. In the audience were some thir-
ty or forty ladies, giving most civilized
and charming aspect to the whole matter,
and proving an advance in our goodly
city from the days we well remember, when
a census of that portion of our population
could not have scared up more than two or
three.
Mrs. Waller Was greeted with warm
applause on her first appearance, which
continued throughout the performance
Besides the programme she was twice call
ed out,and sung Ben Bolt, and Home, sweet
Home, with most graceful effect. This
lady has been so mach praised by the press
during her absence, that anything we may
say will seem tame, and our opinion of her
at musical abilities is too we'll known
10 need repetition.
Prof Downie made q very favorable im~
preston, and evidently possesses a we'll
cultivated talent for his art. He gave with
6ne effect several descriptive songs.
The instrumental music by Messrs.
Grambbs and Han sen, was very good, es-
pecially the overtures, though we think Mr..
Grambbs in his accompanymesats should
aim to rise with the spirit of the song, rather
than lean on the singer.
Our friends at Grass Valley will be
pleased to learn that Mrs. Waller will sing
there on this, Friday, night.
NJ. Cheyalier, the skilful practiser of the
mysteries of legerdemain gives perform
ance ut the Dramatic Hall on Saturday and
Sunday evenings. This gentleman is very
favorably known, and is most adroit in his
art. His first performance was received
with great celat, and his skill is said by
Judges to excel that of BIitz or Alexander.
He is resident of our city, and we wish
him much success.
