LA SoMNAMBULA.-A man either crazy
or drunk, and perhaps both, paraded him
self on the balcony of the Western Hotel in
Marysvile on Thursday, in state of par
tial nudity, being minus clothes of any
description, but dirty shirt. Some of the
policemen got after him and discovered that
he was ia sOmnamulic state. from which be
was very soon aroused, and marched off to
the Station House. A complaint was entered
against him for committing nuisance, it
being considered criminal to somnambulize
in Marysville. Mice little fellers'' them

rne Democratic Primary Meeting.

On the I'd of July will be held the pri
mary meeting of the Democrats of Oroville
precinct This meeting and the business it
will transact are almost, if not quite equal in
Importance to the County Convention, for
upon this depends in great measure, the
character of that Convention, and by its
nominations shall be declared the choice of
the Democratic party of Butte county.
Primary meetings, uninportant as they
may seem to the casual observer, are indeed
of great pith and moment, for upon them
depends the actual choice of such men and
measures as shall be put forth for the sane
ton or refusal of the voters at large.
In view of this state of things, and that
they really exist no man of insight, study
or experience can for a moment doubt, 1t
behooves the Democrats of Butte county in
general, and of 0roville as the great centre
of the county, in particular, to give especial
heed to these primary conventions, as to the
grand foundation to their vested rights and
| the prime motive power from whence their
success must originally emanate. The choice
of electors is co livalent to to the actual do
| ings of those electors themselves, and IN
that view they should be most carefully
chosen.
While upon this subject. we desire briefly
to express our views of the present position
of the Democracy in this county and that Of
| its opponents As great a mass, the true
Democracy arc united to mau but that
there are black sheep in the flock, men styl-
| ing themselves Democrats, and yet working
with and aided by professed opponents o
| the party, is too true. 1t is of these bogu:
Democrats that the voters at our primary
meetings should beware. Men, who pri
vately opposed to the interests of individ-
ual members of the party, are willing tt
coerce with and become allies Of mos
dangerous and bitter opposition party, arr
the nominal Democrats who should be shun
ned They and the principles which they
PROFOUND are alike unsafe. BY this class
Democrats (?)-trators as they are-wl
you, the Democratic voters of Oroville, b.
cajoled and fawned over, and perhaps
threatened as last extreme; but all thes'
are but g weak inventions Of the enemy,
and have no part with the principles o
genuine Democracy. The interests of Butt
county are in conflict with these renegades
| and allied as they are with every Iactioi
that marks the Democracy for their enven
venomed shafts, they seek to 'rule US witt
a rcd Of iron," and have arrayed themselve
the enemies of the county's dearest rights
1t is needless to specify the leaders Of thi
bogus branch of the Democracy They ar
found opposing the only feasible road acros
the Sierra Nevadas; striving for persona
gain at the expense Of the county workin:

The show licenses established by the
Board of Trustees are regarded by large
portioa of our citizens as exorbitant, and
calculated to injure the town, by discour-
aging exhibitions of all kinds. We are in
clined to the same opinion, believing the Ii
censes to be so very high, as to keep away
theatrical performers, concerts. circuses,
etc, that would otherwise come here, the
tendency of which has heretofore been to
enliven business and keep in circulation q
large quantity of money that is now unem-
ployed, a very small proportion of which, if
any, has been taken away from here We
of California are most decidedly and char
acteristically theatre-going and amuse-
ment- loving people, and such facilities as
are practicable and right, should he afforded
US to crafty our propensities. la lieu OF
| lyceums and lectures, for the encourage
ment of which our people seem at present
unprepared, we need theatres and concerts
and should encourage them by offering such
inducements as will bring good performers
to our town Before the town was lncorpor-
ated. even with the meagre accommodations
afforded to the exercise of the drama and
its concomtants we had many an instructive
and entertaining exhibition in our shabby
old theatre, and now that Oroville has be-
come a town claiming for herself posi- ton
among her sisters throughout the State; in
creased facilities and inducements should
be held out for proper and healthy system
of amusements of the kinds to which We
have alluded, for, We may very pertiEently
ask, in what other kinds of recreatiors is il
practicable for US to indulge' People who
would otherwise be attending the theatre or
concert, are now spending their evenings al
the rondo table or the kino card or other
wise squandering their time and money that
would be expended in the best and most
the theatre. AS long as this system of high
> licenses exists, there is certainly little in
ducement for any one to erect a theatre, fol
what company can be expected to take tht
risk of coming here, naturally attended
with great expense, and after paying The
rent of the house and the salaries of actors
to take still another large amount Of then
proceeds wherewith to pay more extraya
CANT bill for license than is charged in an,
city or town in the State The circus licens
, is perfectly enormous, and we would sugges
reduction in that, but we would NOR
strongly urge very great modification il
the theatre, concert and circus licenses, a
being something which the interests of tn
town strongly demand.

GARDEN RANCH The improvements al
this Ranch are progressing finely, and when
completed will make it one of the most beau
tiful places of resort in the State. The
house which has just been built, and is now
in process of completion is large, roomy and
convenient. All the old buildings are to be
tom down and the grounds to be laid out
with great care and neatness. If the new
house is conducted half as well as the old
one has been since Tinker had charge of it,
its popularity will be such rs its proprietor
richly deserves. The work is progressing
slowly but with great care.

A fine brick building is being built ON Mont

A proof that the mines are not giving out,

have been working Cor the last two years on
Carpenters Flat. When the g bone and

Nthe crops of hay are less than one half as
large as on previous seasons, and on his own
and neighboring ranches, the crops of hay
and grain have been very much injured by
the drouth. The valley is as parched and
dusty as in the middle of August, and the
arid plains look like broad fields of stunted
and ripened wild oats. The roads are so
very dusty as to make travel remarkably
unpleasant to MN and beast. All Cali
formal nature cries aloud for rain.

RoBINsoN's Mill BURNED-We learn
from David Nye, that Robinson's Mill, sit.
uated about five miles this side of Forbes
town, caught fire ON Saturday morning about
four o'clock, and was entirely consumed. to-
gether with some fifteen or twenty thousand
feet of lumber. The fire is supposed to have
originated in the blacksmith shop attached
to the mill. A large quantity of lumber
was lying near by, which would also have
been burned with the other alluded to, had
not ne air been very still. We have seen
Nj Peck, one of the partners in the compa-
ny that swns the mill, who informs US that
the loss is at least twelve thousand dollars.
