OREGON GuLCn. April II. Is.

OREGON GULCH, April II, 1856.
Mr.. Editor: Our quiet little village was thrown
into considerable emotion on Sunday last, by the
announcement that Miss Lizzie Burbank's Variety
Troupe would give an exhibition on the Gulch in
the evening. Everybody turned out to get view
of the charming Lizzie and in the language of
one of her love-smitten admirers, whom | will
compare to an aged Miller in leaky Gutter, drift
ing towards Lee shore, with no able Seaman on
board to Roace her into some quiet Eddy
With graceful step and a heaving breast
She comes forward and bows--you know the rest
She skips, hops whirls and throws her feet,
In such beautiful manner, that it raises u poor
devil plum out of his seat ~
She is good actress, and elegant and accom-
plished danseuse, and has made many warm friends
in this neighborhood by her chaste and beautiful
style OF acting But she is gone now, and MOTTO
cd when she left your town, on Tuesday last, that
the children of Israel congregated in large num-
pers 10 BID her an afectionate farewell and one
smart Ing man was weeping bitterly May the
Lord have mercy on his soul, and comfort him in
his affliction.
AS stood watching the preparations that were
being made for the departure OF the fair damse,
an individual standing near me with tear-bedm-
lmed eyes, gave vent to his pent-up feelings in the
following impressive manner:
81 wish we two were Martins.
and then on wings of Lore
We would fly away together,
Unto that heavenly world above"
tried to comfort him with the assurance that
ahe time was not far distant when he would again
have the pleasure Of beholding the dearest object
of his affection but be had the impudencc to tell
me "if | did not dry up he would conduct me
down to Hoveys and compel me to smoke one of
his Jig cigars / said no more, for had smoked
one of them about two years before and the ago
ny endured on that occasion, was still fresh in
my remembrance.
Yours truly, DARTMOUTH.

Miss Lizzie Burbank's Troupe.

Big FLAT, Trinity River April 10, 1856.
Editor Journal The past has been week Of
pleasure to the lovers of fun and recreation, mu-
sic and dancing, by the Ball on Friday night, and
the Concerts given by Miss Lizzie Burbank's
Troupe on Thursday and Friday evenings, at this
place, which were well attended by discrimina-
ting audience, who were highly entertained-yea,
unexpectedly electrified by the song, the mu-
sic and personation of characters by that inimit-
able company.
The whole programme was performed to perfec-
ton, no jarring discord, each entering into their
parts with soul and spirit bringing down round
after round of applause such never before ech-
oed through these mountains, and had friend Stu
art been here alarm would have seized him at the
eminent danger of his splendid edifice going in
that is into the cellar. Three days have elapsed
since the mirth-provokng performance and |
have not secna face as yetscrewcd up from broad
grin.
Miss Burbank in the song and dance took the
audience by surprise, and led them captive to the
powers of art and by her modest lady-like de-
me amor social qualities, case, and friendly man
uers exhibited at the Ball and social gatherings,
endeared herself to host of admiring friends.
But the most surprising of all was the easy and
natural performances of the infant La Petite Ger
ito, the fairy STAR with all the grace and precs
ion of the mature actress. Her cunning, bewitch-
ing dance completely bewildered the audience,
who manifested their admiration by transferring
from their pockets to the boards a perfect show
cr of tinkling silver and Benton mint drops not
one of whom was probably conscious of what he
had done, until he came to make up his cash ac-
count.
OF Mr.. j. NJ Langdon's part l ned not say a
word, for your readers have all doubtless heard
him, and can imagine the roars of laughter at his
oGI hits and perfect delineation of comical char
acters.
The SOLO and other performances on the violin
by Mr.. Sedlek, was capital. Such violinists are
rare in any country, One old man sWore by his
grey hairs that he was the same Ole Bull he
had heard 20 years ago, but out in a new and IN
proved edition.
Now, Mr. Editor the people down this way are
unwilling to give it up without more of the same
sort Can't you prevail on them to come again,
for they would receive a humping benefit. The
rain prevented many from attending who are now
anXious to participate in such pleasures, to laugh
and grow fat, which they have learned is not an
unmeani1g saying All have come to the con-
clusion that we are formed for other purposes than
dclying in the earth for gold, which when long
continued without recreation is calculated to
make the misanthropc. And who will venture
to say that such occasional diversions will not give
to business and labor new life and energy, or cure
the dyspepsia X. Y,
