THEATRIcAL.-Within the past few weeks,
two Theatrical Companies have each held forth
at Knickerbocker Hall. The first company was
the Forest Troupe. which appeared for one night
only, on account of the rain to rather slim
house; the audience were only partially satisfied
with their dollars worth of Dramatic Excel
lence." The little girl was the leading card
and performed in each piece, exhibiting rare
talent aud ability.
On Sunday night last, the Potter Family, ap-
peared at the same Hall, also in light comedy,
Miss Paulin, playing the {. STAR characters-
Three pieces were very creditably played, and
several songs and dances introduced much to
the edihcation of a comparatively large audi
ence. The sweet, angelic countenance of Miss
Paullin, created much enthusiasm and sympa-
thy among the boys, one of whom, in his over
anxiety, pitched quarter ON the stage, which
was the signal for general Smelling out of
small coin; one admirer unntentionally invested
ten dollar piece, but the mistake brought no
change, on an explanation. We could not feel
much chagrined at such mishap, as Miss
Paullns sweet countenance is worth a dollar

perty is not only the safest, but the very
best investment for money seeking prof
liable market, and bear US out III the posi-
ton we have assumed, that Glitch prop
perty is the most valuable in the mine"
being the very life and soul of our fnan-
cial existence. A stupendous plan is now
on foot for the purpose of draining the
Twin Lakes, which are series of nat
ural reservoirs situated far up in the Sierra
Nevada, near the dividing ridge, and in
close proximity to the head waters of the
Mokelumne and Stanislaus. These lakes
are SO located as to be tapped at pleasure;
and at very little cost, large supply of
water can be carried into either of the
above named rivers, sufficient to keep up
the stream during the entire summer sea-
son. This plan will be adopted as soon as
capital takes the right direction, which
undoubtedly is, to improving the facilities
for working our gold mines. But we leave
discussion Oh this fruitful subject for an
other article, at some future time.

The Harrison Texas Flag says that there
are 800 or 600 laborers employed upon
the two first divisions of this road. and
the Vicksburg papers assert that their road
to the Texas line, to connect with the
Southern Pacific, will be ready for use
during the present year, so that the friends
OF the Pacific road may be able to cat
their next Christmas turkey at Marshall
in Texas, or at Tyler, thirty miles beyond
Marshall, and travel thithcr on a railroad
all the way from the Mississippi river
