Ladies' Fair.
We have already given notice of the anticipa
ted fair or festival to be given by the ladies Of
Columbia on the fourth day of next February
and in addition to that notice, we would again
call attention to an enterprise in which many
of the ladies of our town seem so deeply inter
ested. Sewing of almost every description is
freely done by fair hands and willing hearts
and in cause so praiseworthy, we only deem
it necessary to inform old bachelors that they
can now have their handkerchiefs hemned and
their shirts stitched, as they were want to do,
| in the days of ''auld lang syne." Let gentle
men remember the lofty domes and arstocratic
churches of their native city. or the neat, white
! and cosy-like appearance of their country meet
I, ing house, and our word for it, dozen shirts
and as many handkerchiefs will be ordered for
every sigh that arises for the "loved ones at
home" What heart so hard that. will not at
times melt into tears and sadness, when from
the lingering memories of the past, he draws
aside the veil, and once again beholds his pa
rents brothers and sisters around the peaceful
| family circle, or seated in their accustomed
pew, at the old familiar church, All kind rea-
der, no oath arises to your lips now you have
even forgotten that your love for churches has
grown cold! Rough as we are, as negligent of
moral responsibilities as many among us may
have become, we could none of us regret, could
we but enjoy in California, what we at one time
realized at our Atlantic homes. 1t is for the
revival of these privileges that the ladies Of
Columbia, God bless them y like our mothers
and sisters far beyond the snow clad hills of the
Rocky Mountains, are now laboring. Let our
citizens aid them them in this their kind and
generous work of love. 1t is not simply for the
church, Presbyterian, we believe, but for socie-
| ty and posteray for which the aid of the public
is invoked. Let all therefore who are interes-
ted in the welfare of community, and who de-
sire to make the home of growing infancy in
California, to them. what our early homes are
to us, engage heartily in any cause which has
for it's end, the establishment of virtuous and
refining influences. A fair for the Methodist
church, at Springfield. we believe is proposed
to be held some time during the winter or COM
ing spring.
THEATRICAL.-1n consequence of the
unprecedented patronage extended to
Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne and her company
by the citizens of Sonora, that lady did
not make her appearance in Columbia
on last Thursday, as was anticipated, but
we are informed that her engagement
will cease in Sonora with this evening
performance, so that we may expect her
here on Monday evening next. That
she will meet with an enthusiastic recep-
ton from the citizens of Columbia, we
cannot for moment doubt. 1t is true
that extra dollars are not very abundant
at the present time, bnt for talent such as
Mrs. Hayne and her company will .ex-
hibit, they can spare /" few" on every
evening of the coming week
For the better accommodation of ladies
we are informed that sofas will be pro-
cured, and placed in a suitable position
in front Of the stage. Mrs. Hayne may
therefore expect, what no other artistic
has been favored with in Colambia-the
attendance of large number of ladies'
GONE TO MARIPosA Mr. & Mrs. E. S. Conner
left Columbia on last Wednesday, on tour
through the mountains to Mariposa. They lef
many friends and admirers in Columbia, VIII,
will be happy to extend to them cordial wei
come, at any time in which they may be pleased
| to return.
BY the by, rather pleasing incident occurred
in connection with Mrs. Conner, during her SC
journ in Columbia While crossing one of our
streets which in some places is quite muddy she
encountered spot so deep with mud and mire,
that she almost dispaired of crossing: in this
emergency gallant son Of Columbia came to
her rescue, and though he did not in imitation
of Walter Raleigh, spread his cloak for her car
pet, yet, in true keeping with the gallantry o.
our town. he ran, procured plank and grace

politeness was gratefully acknowledged by the

RESERVOIR GAVE WAY.-A reservoir belong

Company, and located on Bald Mountain, above
Browns Flat, gave way On last Saturday NOR

damages on the ditch were repaired on the next
