DEATH oP A ROYAL ILLIGITIAIATE The
London papers notice, with considerable
flummery, the death of Lord Adolphus Fitz-
clarence, son of William the Fourth, by the
actress Mrs. Jordan. He entered the navy
at an early age, and of course, was promoted
over many better man, and infinitely bet
ter sailor. He was Rear Admiral, while
many who entered the navy before him are
nov only leutenants. lie never saw any
service, and when quite young commanded
the royal yacht in which George the Fourth
made his excursions.

BEES AND QUAIs.-The Rev. A. III. Mill
burn, in lecture on the west says:
Two remarkable facts are to be noted
in respect to the advancement of the whites
The first is that the quail, unknown to the
Indians, makes its appearance--from whence
no man knows--when the white man plows
and plants his fields, atfording an abundance
of delicious food TO the pioneer. The second
fact is that the honey bee is not found in the
country while in the possession of the In
dams. 1t keeps just in advance of the ad-
vancing wave OF civilization. When the In
dams see the swarms of these new visitors.
their wise men sadly acknowledge that it is
time for them to abandon their pleasant
hunting ground and the graves of their fa-
theirs, and seek new homes''

THEATRICAL The first appearance of
the Dramatic Company on Wednesday night,
under the management of Mr.. W. Hamilton,
was most encouraging for new candidates
for the patronage of the Oroville Theatre
goers. The House was well filled, and never
the beauty and fashion as honored the Thea
tire with their presence on Wednesday night.
To enter into a nice criticism of this or any
other Theatrical Company, would be ventur-
ing outside of soundings, as we cannot posi-
bly, afford to style ourselves Theatrical
critics.
The play of the Golden Farmer" passed
off to the satisfaction of all, as was evinced
by the tremendous applause of the andi-
ence Mr.. and Mrs, Hamilton were decided
ly the favorites, and performed their parts
to the letter SO did the Miss Franklands
They appear new on the stage, but seem to
possess the elements necessary to reach a
high position in the profession. They pos
sess modesty combined with beauty, grace
and elegance. Mrs. Hamilton sings finely.
The cold Dutch Gentleman" was sung by
Mr. Collins with great good taste and effect,
Notwithstanding he received slight rebuke
from the lessee, Mr.. Connor.
The ' Irish Tutor was well played, and
excited deal of merriment. The song
&C Widow McChree," by Mr.. Hamilton, was
most elegant--'twas all over Irish.
On the whole, it was a very credtable
performance, and gave general satisfaction.
The Orchestra was composed of Oroville
musicians, and was, to our thinking, the
best that ever performed in the Metropo
Titan.

A LIVE SNAKE INALIyE Mky-A gsn,l,

A LIVE SNAKE IN LIVE MAS.-A geptIe-
man whose name We did not learn, saws the
San Francisco Golden Eagle, arrived in this
city from Birds Hill, for the purpose of pro.
curing surgical advice in relation to the pos
sibility Of removing from the stomach a large
snake, which has Inhabited that locality for
tho PAST fifteen years. Exactly at what time
the reptile was taken into the stomach the
sufferer is not aware. He felt its presence in
the vicinity of the kidneys many years ago;
but the pains experienced, although some.
times acute and troublesome, occasioned no
alarm until about two years since, when, one
day, feeling quite unwell, he placed his hand
upon his bowels, and distinctly felt the snake
crawling within him. Since then il has grown
enormously, and has attained length of at
least fifteen inches, and a size round the mid
die Of five CT six inches. Its proportions can
be pretty accurately ascertained, as its entire
shape is fearfully obvious to tho touch. 1t is
quite active, and possesses an Unsuitable ap-
petite, judging from the amount of food and
water consumed by the sufferer, who is con-
tinually parched with thirst, and not unfrs
quently requires from three to four gallons OF
fluid daily. Through the recommend alton of
an Indian, he has lately found considerable
relief from the incessant thirst by drinking
water literally difused with vinegar. He
has made several attempts to dislodge the
"varmint" by starvation and the free use Of
stimulants. On one occasion, he abstaiued
from both food and water for three days, in
the hope Of bringing the occupant to some
sort Of terms. The first day the snake be-
came uneasy; the second, boisterous; and
the third, furious, but still the man held out
At the end of the third day, however, his
snakeship commenced an attack upon the
walls of his prison, with what appeared to be
a tolerable full set of teeth, and the result
was an immediate supply of food more agree
able to both parties. As may be supposed,
the man is reduced to a perfect skeleton, un-
der the extreme torture of mind and bodv
preying upon him night and day, but he does
not despair of finding a surgeon in the city
sufficiently skilful TO make an inoision in the
abdomen and remove the reptile. We have
heard Of similar cases; but this is the FIRST
that ever came under our own observation
