Pat, the Limerick Boy" whom every
body knows or hears of by virtue of his
blarney, and propensity for playing practi-
cal jokes, was the principal actor in mcst
ludicrous scene last Thursday afternoon -
Pat had horse that he wanted to sell, and
by way showing his points and displaying
his good qualities, he trotted him out in
front of the st. Nicholas, and to show how
gentle the beast was, he mounted him "bare
back" (the horse, not Pat) and with pecul-
lar Irish whoop, plunged his heels into the
sides of his Arabian, who, not liking the
style of attack, lowered his head and raised
his heels, and with a peuliar jerk, landed
Pat about twenty feet in advance of his
head, greatly to ''Limerick's amazement and
the diversion of the by.standers Pat slip
ped up on his trade. the customer not fancy
ing the tiff-legged qualities of the "darlin
cratur."

Topics of the Day.

OrONllie may DC llkelcu 10 Il young
man just released from the studies of
u college, Or the tolls of an apprent-
iceship and turned loose to shift for
himself. She is possessed of all the
natural qualities for future greatness,
but is suffering now in dire necessity
for want of the requisite capital
wherewith to start in the business Of
life. She has been amply provided
for by nature, and has received a
fair start in the world, from her lib
eral progenitors, but she needs a vast
deal Of assistance and means in ac-
complishing her ultimate purpose
Those who have her in charge should
not neglect her in the hour of need,
and now is the time for action. Some
assistance has already been given her.
She has some of her demands sup
piled, but not all. The facilities for
approach to her, have been, and still
are sadly neglected. Roads are in
Il miserable state in her immediate
vicinity, and are growing every day
still worse,-and the places for en-
trance and exit, to and from the town,
arc in such a state as to demand the
immediate attention of those whom it
may concern.
More especially would we speak of
the great thoroughfare to Marysville
by the way of Lyncburg, and the
road leading to Chico and Shasta.
The former may be repaired at a
comparatively small expense, but on
the latter liberal outlay should be
made in the erection of q bridge, in
place of the present Ferry, which is
now the only means afforded for
crossing the river, on the way towards
the immense upper country, the trade
Of which we confidently hope will
eventually concentrate in Oroville.
1t is we'll to look to these things in
time, and provide for the future. Ma
ture has done much towards making
this convenient depot for the sup
plies which the vast mineral lands
about us do, and will require, and
those to whom are confded the des-
tinies of this fair town, should lend
all the aid in their power towards her
advancement. A bridge is greatly
needed, and must be built sooner or
later. The roads contiguous to the
Ferry, and the Ferry itself, arc in
sufficient accommodation for the
greatly increasing travel to and from
the north, and lack of enterprise on
the part of our citizens should never
act as hindrance in making Oroville
a place of easy access to the noun
tain traders. Just give Oroville a
fair chance, and she will outstrip all
her competitors.

Some rascal, or rascals, entered the stable

Wednesday night, and stole thcrefrom IA
