Musical

AhE CouCclto SivSu ny tuc oIIy Miu-
strels, on Saturday and Sunday evenings,
were among the most entertaining of the
musical or theatrical performances of the
season. Little was known of them-no
one had preceded them to make known
their claims to public attention; people
collected at the Theatre with little cxpec-
tation, and no anticipation of the extra
ordinary accomplishments Of these gifted
children. The result was that the little
girls left the stage after the first perform
ance, in the midst of the most enthusiastic
applause from pit and gallery, which was
confined until they re-appeared. Their
extreme youth and modest, artless de.
meanor won upon the audience, who after
their first appearance, seemed determined
to applaud every thing they did.
On Sunday night the Theatre was
crowded, and the little minstrels excelled
their performances Of the previous night;
they were vociferously called for after
nearly every piece, until they showed
signs of weariness, when the curtain
dropped and the audience retired with
the general expression that the Fairy
Minstrels had afforded them more amuse-
ment than they had derived from older
performers Of much greater pretensions.
Miss Graves, the older of the two, is a
pupil of Madam Celeste's, and certainly
her proficiency at the age Of twelve years
is astonishing. Her form is symmetrical,
and every movement is easy and graceful,
never betraying either too much selfcon-
fidence or timidity. Her countenance is
pleasing, and marked by an expression of
thoughtful intelligence, which at once
claims the respect and attention Of the
audience. As danseuse and vocalist,
she would attract attention in an audience
much more difficult to please than is ours,
Miss Blodget, a very young lady of nine
years of age, with her ACCORDION and petite
figure, pretty face and dignifed bearing,
may very properly be called fairy min
strel. She has had but little instruction,
except from nature and her companion,
Miss Graves. That, however, has been
considerable and we'll attended to. As
an accordeonist, we have not heard her
equal in the mountains; and as danseuse,
it is often difficult to decide on the merits
Of herself or her young instructress.
We have no hesitation in saying that
wherever these children appear, they will
give general satisfaction. They will not
disappoint reasonable expectations, but
on the contrary will 60 beyond their pre-.
tentions. Mountain audiences who are
not usually hard to please, will receive an
equivalent for every dollar, which cannot
be given for wortbier object than to
encourage youthful talent in profession
for which nature emineutly qualified the
Fairy Minstrels.
| They will appear this and tomorrow
evenings, at the Theatre. Any one who
has heard them before, will need no per-
suasion to attend.

SPIRITUAL RAPP1NGs.--Mr. Sims, the
Rochester Rapper, will have some conver.
sation at the Theatre on Monday night
with the ENJOYS Extraordinary from the
Undiscovered Country. His exhibition
was adjourned until that evening, on &C.
count of the house being engaged by the
Fairy Minstrels.

Snow has fallen between this place and
Sierra Valley to the depth of twelve OF
fifteen inches. We are informed by a
friend from the Valley, that vegetation
died earlier this season than usual, and
that the wild animals are leaving the val

winter.

Distress in the Atlantic States.

"Ye sons ye brothers! ye husbands
who have homes in the East where power
ty dwells-just think fort moment what
sunshine and happiness the small sum OF
ten or twenty dollars might spread abroad
in those sacred precincts-and then neg
lect, if you can, to make immediate remit
tances."
The above is from the Shasta Courier, a
paper in which we have long since learned
to look for articles worth perusal. 1t
comes home to every miner, who often has
loose cash enough in his pocket to glad
den half dozen hearts at home.
The facilities for sending small sums to
the States leaves no one any excuse for
waiting until he has "pile" to send.
There are two Expresses in our town, who
will send ten, twenty or hundred dollars,
for you and ensure its safe delivery. You
will squander that sum in one night, and
by next Sunday it will be in somebody's
pocket who will know how to keep it.
If you have friends whom you love, and
God pity you if you have not, send it to
them. You may as well-it will soon be
gone somewhere.
A week or two ago some thief dug up
and carried off couple of thousand dol
lars that two miners had buried in their
cabin. 1t had been put there for safe
keeping, either from force of habit Of old
Forty-niners, or to save the six per cent
per annum, demanded by the bankers for
safe deposit. You can surely trust the
exchange Offices with small sums, at least
their bill of exchange on older firms is safe
enough. Their business is honest and
oftentimes useful to you, and why not al
low them very small amount for guard
ing great deal for you?
