STABBINe.-An affray occurred yes
terday morning at Penn Valley. be-
tween John Montgomery and Jehn
Hughes, farmers and neiglbors of that
place, in which the latter was seriously,
if not dangerously, stabbed by the for
mer. The weapon used was a sword
cane. The difficulty grew out of an
application which had been made to the
Board of Supervisors, to grant license
for another year to the toll road this
side Of Penn Valley; Montgomery op-
posing the grant, and Hughes favoring.
We have heard but an exparte state
ment of the affair and refrain saying

Miss ANNETTE INcE.-During n

MISS ANNETTE INcE.-During the
present week our theatre goers have
have had 1ich treat in the performsn-
ces of this Incompatible young actress.
Miss lnce comes as near up to the STAN
dard of true actress, as anything we
have had the pleasure of Witnessing
She is a faithful deIineater of nature,
thereby differing, very advantage geonsIy.
We think, from those who confidently
expect through the assistance of d clas-
steal education and refined taste, to
improve nature and this Is what we
understand to be the higbesf accom-
plishment of an actress, or an actor.
Any apparent arti6ce. However ingeni-
GUS, accomplished, or artistical it may
be, detracts from the power and beauty
of the personation Thus. many good
actors confident Of the superiority of
their own taste and refinement, materi-
ally mar a good thing by substituting
artificial graces for the natural ease,
and sometimes even erudities, designed
by the author. This, however, is an err
ror lirL we have never yet detect
ed Miss Ince but she seems to be sat-
isfsd with giving the character she re-
presenfAa perfectly natural personation,
making Der auditors feel that they see
and hear the original and not the copy.
There may he some refined critics who
will say this preference has its origin
in an uneultivated taste - but however
this may be we confess our decided
preference for the truthful presentation
of the original.
Nothing could be more striking than
this truthfulness in her representation
Of the Countess in Knowles play of
g 9 Love, y on Monday night On Tues
day night, .sFazio, was presented with
equally good effect. AS Blanca, as in
other characters, she excelled
On Wednesday night, in Shakes
pearls comedy Of Gas You Like IT, and
in g Faint Heart never won n Fair Lady, :,
she was equally happy. She is versa
tile, adapted to any variety of charac-
ter, and seems to take it up with as
much ease as if her lifetime study had
been devoted to it. The effects of
Miss Ince's representations are two fold
to enforce breathless silence until a
momentary cessation of the play an
nopnces the complete triumph of genius
in universal burst Of applause.
She is supported by good company,
among whom are Leman. j. B. Booth,
Mrs. Booth, sGoad, Rand, Barry and
Mrs. Judah, the two last of whom are
too well known to need comment old
favorites, who always meet with good
reception.
Yesterday evening was presented the
great play Of Armand; but our paper
went to press too early to report the
success. She has been, and doubtless
will continue to be, greeted with good
houses,

qlH1 PUBLIC DE54 F6r ! emo.

1HE PUBLIC DE6 0r TINT u.
much was said on this subject, than
which there is none more momentous to
the State. The public voioc las, how
ever, been long silent on the auestion of
paying the public debt. To the holder
of State paper, Il funscquainted with the
nature Of things in California, this still
ness might be construed zof, evil import.
We do not So read the signs of the
times. The people have made up their
minds generally to pay to- the last dol
lar. California will never repudiate.
She cannot afford it. Self interest alone
will prompt her to discharge every OBJ
legation incumbent upon her, if a sense
Of honor is lost to her people. But such
is not the case. Every consideration Of
honesty, honor, and future prosperity
calls upon US to extinguish with eur gold
the claims we have created. Not one
among US but feels the full weight of
responsibility resting upon him as an
elector, invested with power to redeem
the plighted faith and credit of the
State. Miserable scribblers have indi-
ted their wise communications to the N.
York papers, and endeavored to strike
a blow at the honor and credit of Cali
" ! :.
fornia, but beyond these there is found
scarcely wretch who dare prostitute
his pen to SO base a purpose as to favor
repudiation. Public sentiment among
tax payers is entirely in support of State
credit. The press is, we believe, and
the people generally are not disposed
to disgrace themselves and their State
by voting Reputation ticket.
Whenever repudiator dare show his
head let him be marked as man with
whom the honest should shun inter
course. -
HARMoNY.-The feud about men still
continues in the Democratic ranks.
Quite number of sheets have hoisted
the name of Weller and give and re-
ceive harsh talk, to and from those who
don't follow suit Fl is impossible to
tell how the affair will end, and we don't
intend to meddle in such family Difficult
ties enough to prognosticate with even
a tolerable degree of certainty 1t is
better to keep out of foul crowd in
its most peaceful moments, and nothing
good can accrue from mixing with it in
muss. @
It appears plain that strug gle is go
ing on in the ranks of the Democracy,
to gain ascendaney for a faction
Broderick is desperately willing to be
endorsed by the Democracy Of the
State in convention assembled, and his
friends will doubtless do their utmost to
procure the boon for their idol. They
appear not to be particularly partial to
Weller, though no open opposition has
yet been shown him. His friends are,
however denounced asdisorganizers, and
his being thrust before the people to
forestall the convention characterized as
undemoeratic. We believe nothing will
come of the familyjar. The cohesive
power of public plunder has kept and
will keep the most restless and tur-
bulent spirits that ever sacked town,
boarded ship, or plundered a govern
ment together, in the time of theirg grest-
est need.

The LIFE OF AN ACTpR.-Mr. Don Bourci-
cault, the actor, has written very interesting
ter To the ;Cincinnati Gazette, In defence OF the
stage We extract from it the annexed vivid de
scription Of the life of an actor:
The life OF an actor is one OF un known toll His
daily labor commences at ten when he hurries 10
rehearsal. This process is child's play as
many think 1t, but severe and serious exercise
trying to the temper and the mind At two he is
released, most frequently too late for dinner for
the actor is the only labOrer who will sacrifice his
appetite to his duty. While he eats what he can
get. he studies his part. and is immersed in il
until six At that hour lac returns to the theatre,
Is employed until midnight. Weary and iadeGi
he travels home, to sleeP?-nO-to sit up poring
over the noTrow's performance, for usually he
pllys two or three new parts nightly. 3
His wife sits by his side, hearing also her parts
while she makes her costume, for the male wa rd :
robe only is furnished by the theatres AT two or
three in the morning they drop off to sleep beside
their children. God help them What have they
done during this long, weary, weary day OF labor
to call down the contempt of mankind, anathe-
mas OF the church, and your gall God hel lp this
poor family-and lie does help them; for there
Is an angel that stands beside their couch who,
with her white wings, wards Off the bitter blast
OF worldly wrong; and the breath of that angel
warmth in their hearts. If excommuncated by
society, they clasp their own closer to theft
breasts. EXtravagdnt In their charity, they beg
gar themselves, without a thought. to relieve a
suffering brother. They cling with the fondness
Of despair to their children and parents-a fond
ness which fills up with family affections the
void which society would make in their lives.

The BURDELL MURDER.-A writer in the New
York Times with the signature Of :. Lex and
evidently legal gentleman, sums up a very able
and discriminating critique upon the late murder
and trial, with the following theory:
:: The key TO Dr. Burdel'a chamber, contrary
10 his usual custom, left in the lock outside
the door ltwas difficult TO approach him stealth
lily In his lighted room, for he apparently had
taken out his papers for the puI pose of business
In view Of the facts, II appears TO me that the
murderer was one who accompanied him to his
room, whose presence there gave him no alarm,
with whom he was transactinp business and
who, standing by his chair he sat in il in front
OF the secretary, suddenly struck the first blow,
and grasped him by the throat, when he failed to
fall at once; who possibly seized money and pa
pers (none Were found on the doctors person. }
and who then CROPPED his way through the dark
ened hall to the outer door, and thus escaped
The nature of the wounds and the character of
the struggle tend to show that the assassin must
have been a man of powerful frame, and probably
taller stature than the victim; and there are strong
reasons for suPposing that he well knew where
lay the great arteries, and how to reach the vital
organs.D

far back do you wish II dated ~ inquired the
clergyman. "Why, rs near we can calculate,
about couple Of months" replied the young
MN. This the clergyman seemed to decline do,

he had rather give five dollars than not to have il
dated back :" The clergyman regretted the ne
