consider TO be the most Objectionable trait

Of its own existence.

r.,uv M,xsrgLs.-The entertain

Fuuv MtNsTgLs.-The entertain
ments given by this popular Troupe lat
Boswell's Hall, several nights t fis
week, were by far the most attractive
we have had the pleasure OF witnessing
in our city for long time. The youpg
ladies, Misses Blodgett and Sweet, haFe
captivated all who have seen their grade
full movements in the dance and heard
their exquisite vocal efforts. Their e x
treme youth and sprightliness have de-
lighted the large audiences nightly in
attendance. Mr.. and Mrs. Elderk i'm
deserve much credit for the handsome
style of their playing. Lew Rather, as
delineator of the negro character ahd
in his burlesque of the high dramatic, is
inimitable. His character ofthe French
Dancing Master is certainly the most
amusing thing we ever saw, and never
fails to "bring down" the house. Lew
is a great favorite here, and always de-
lights the audience. To Mrs. Nc
Gowan's playing, however, we are
chiefly indebted for truly delightful
treat. Her personation of"Polly" in
the Jackets of Blue. is worth twice the
sum of admission. 'Varillo" in the
Weathercock, is part in which she has
been signally successful. This lady is
highly spoken of, and our citizens ap-
peared much pleased with her. Mr..
MCGOWAN also gave general satisfaction,
and was applauded highly.

ITEMs.-Sampson w. Crowder was
executed at Yreka on the 1st inst. for
the murder of Mr.. s. Lewis. Intempe-
rance was the cause of the crime for
which he suffered the extreme penalty
of the law.
The Empire County Argus (Ameri-
can) and Stockton Gazette (Republi
can) have ceased to exist.
The Sierra Citizen relates the follow
ing: "Some mischievous person or per-
sons. for the purpose, no doubt, of ma
king fun Of the supporters of Fremont
on election day, dressed up favorite
jackassin in pair of black pantaloons and
sheepskin covering, and put dark CO.
lored plume in his head and marched
the poor animal back and forth in front
of the building where the election was
held, much to the displeasure of the
Republicans and to the merriment of the
Democrats and Know Nothings."
Wirsen, the snake-tamer, after hav-
ing the first joint OF the fore finger of his
left hand amputated, is rapidly recover
ing, and is amusing himself by playing
with the reptile that bit him, as fearless
ly as ever.
Thomas J, Butler, an American, was
unanimously elected County Clerk of
Tehama county at the late election
The county went Democratic.
The editor of the Marysville Inquirer,
nothing daunted by the recent terrible
thrashing received from the Democrats,
calls upon the American party to organ
ize early, "pick flint and try it again"
The Democrats must have little fun
at our expense. Some locofoco poetas-
ter, or several of them, INDUCES in the
following:
''Dibble is lazy and Skinker won't work,
Dibble for Congress, and Sainker for Clerk
Dibble is little, and Skinker amt thin,
Dibble is beaten and Skinker gone in.
AS much truth aspect ry, and little of
either.
