CONCERT AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
This Concert we understand is to come off at
the Presbyterian Church in this place on next
Wednesday evening, the 22d inst The OBJ
ject of the concert is to pay off the debt
which has so long hung over this church. and
when we consider the laudable object which is
had in view, we doubt not that all those who
are, at-all, interested in the cause of the
Church will attend. But, apart from con-
sideration of this kind, the programme of the
evening is of sufficient attraction to draw
large and respectable house. The Grass Val
ley Glee Club have generously volunteered
their services for the occasion, at which time
they will sing some of their choicest songs
and ballads; they will be accompanied with
instrumental music suited to the occasion.
This is to be no farce game, and we sincerely
hope that all who take pride in local as we'll
as good singing. will attend. The room is
large, and will accommodate many persons

always good, and articles of every descrip-
ton, belonging to California trade, can be
had at their establishment, and at a low rate,
as they import their goods directly from the

MISS MATILDA HERoN.-This charming and
talented actress is soon to leave Sacramento
for San Francisco, where she is to appear at
the Metropolitan. Surely, if there is an &C
tress among US who deserves praise, it is her,
if there is talented actress in California, it
is her. proof of which is, that without
fame, without reputation save that of good
character; she has appeared in San Francis
co and Sacramento, before some of the best
critics in the States, and the result is, she has
created and sustained a reputation inferior
to none who have yet appeared upon the
"boards" in California. We bad the plea
sure of seeing her perform in one of her fa-
vorite characters at the American, while in
San Francisco, and to say we were pleased,
would be mockery to our feelings. Welike
her for the simplicity and purity of her man.
ners, of her appearance the fervency of
soul that she exhibits. while on the stage. in
every expression and in every action. Her
delineation of human nature in many charac-
ters is almost perfect, in fact it is more per-
fectly demonstrated by her than, in most in
stances, it is to be found in real life, because
there seems to be more soul there, more fer
vency.
We had hoped that Miss Heron would find
it to her interest, or pleasure to have paid
flying visit to the mountains previous to her
departure for the Bay, but according to Sac
ramento papers, she seems differently inclin-
ed.
