BURIEsoUE PERFORMANCE AT FIDDLETowN.
On Saturday night last, at Fiddletown,
some of the boys gave theatrical perfor-
nance by.way of burlesqeuing Mexican Buc-
hanan We learn that it was exceedingly
"rich-" particularly the play of Richard"
The shouts of applause and laughter that
greeted the performance, established the fact
that the Great American was nowhere !
The burlesque will be repeated at the Thes-
plan performance in this place next Tuesday
night, when the curious will have an opportu-
nifty of relieving themselves of any dyspeptic
tendencies they may be threatened with.

son & Co. may be found variety of late
newspapers and magazines, received per

promptness with which they deliver papers,
magazines, &c

RAIN-The citizens of Volcano having
failed to make preparations for anything of
the sort, the clerk of the weather kindly vol
unteered to celebrate the Fourth of July
Early in the morning the clouds rolled up
from the East like great banner unfurled
from the horizon-the rays Of the sun break
ing through here and there, and forming a
very good representation of the stars and
stripes that variegate the American colors.-
Rain fell in quantity sufficient to cool the
atmosphere, and render the streetsquite mud
DIV then came the roar Of the heavens artil
lery-thunder flashes, (lightning) Of
the combustble materials used by the can
noneers of the upper regions Altogether
the celebration under the auspices of thu
clerk aforesaid was decidedly creditable, ant
we should feel obliged to him if he would re
peat it every day during the hot summe
months.

LOST IN THE MoUNTAINs.-About the
10th Of May, man named Robinson
started from Sandy Gulch, near this place 70.
Carson Valley He undertook to follow a
trail leading from the Gulch to the Valley,
and after travelling five days through the pine
forests and over a succession Of hills and
valleys, he lost the trail During this time
he was entirely without anything to eat,
except what he picked up on his route. He
finally found party of Indians who gave
him something to eat and put him on the
trail again. and informed him that it was
about a half days travel to the Valley. He
started, and soon lost his way again, and
was wandering about for ten days, unable to
find his way. He finally assembled noun.
tain, and at distance of 10 or IL miles he
saw the smoke from the cabin of party who
were building saw-mill for the Jackson
Ditch Company. He started for the cabin
and after enduring many hardships arrived Al
the place, in almost furnishing state. Ht
remained there five days and left for the set

NED McGowAN SEEN FOR CERTAIN.-Below
we give an extract of private letter, says
the Alta, dated Placerville, 2sth June, to a
gentleman of this city. The one receiving
the letter is well known citizen, whose word
is not to be questioned; and he tells us that
his correspondent is perfectly reliable.
We have never doubted that Ned's destl-
nation was Carson, and all may be assured
now that there is where he has gone.
1t is true that Ned MCGOWAN passed
through this town en- route for Carson Valley.
An intimate friend Of mine, who is well ac-
quainted with him, saw him and spoke to him
as he passed his ranch near Johnson's Cut
OFF, five or six miles from Placerville. Other
gentlemen in town who know him WELL also
saw him and spoke to him"

TALL OATs.-The Sacramento Union men,
tons some stalks of oats few inches over
seuen feet in heighth. We were furnished a
few days ago with stalk of oats, grown on
Hartman & Wagstaf7s ranch, at this place,
eight feet four inches in heighth, and were as
sured that there was plenty more of the same
sort where it came from.

WALKER EXCITEMENT IN TExAs.+The dates
from Texas are to the Goth of May, and
bring, among other things, anaccount of two
meetings which had been held in Galveston,
to take into consideration the best means Of
raising money to assist General Walker in
his Nicaraguan enterprise. They were pre-
sided over by General Bernett, the first Pres
ident of Texas when republic, and speeches
were made by Gen Mcleod, Prof Forshey,
Henry Andrews and Others. Companies
were forming in the interior of the State, and
i. was thought material assistance would be
speedily dispatched to Walker.

ceased to hold communication with the Brit

not be construed as any cause for war, unless
England is particularly anxious for fight.
