| THEATRE.-Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne
closed successful engagement at Frist
bie's Theatre, with grand compliment
tarv benefit on Monday night. The
house on the occasion was crowded to
its utmost capacity. The Follics If a
Night and all that Glitters is not Gold.
were produced with good effect. Hor+
ton. as Stephen Plum. in the after piece
did splendidly. In fact he has done
himself infinite credit by the manner in
which he personated characters during
the entire engagement. "Dumpsy"
was as favorably received as ever; Lee
mans performances are decidedly cred
table, and Rand never fails to fill his
part of the bill. Miss Sophie Edwin
acquitted herself as becomes herself
Mrs. Hayne cannot help throwing a
charm around the stage. She takes to
acting as naturally as a duck to water.
During the engagement, the following
are some of the principal pieces brought
out: Old Heads and Young Hearts, Girls
eldis, Young New York, besides those of
which we have already spoken. In our
opinion the pieces, with the exception of
Griseldis, were unhappily selected. Had
the same old plays so often represented
on our boards been chosen, the audience
would have more easily discovered by
comparison the superiority of Julia Dean
Hayne over any of her would-be rivals.
Let her appear as Pauline, Parthenia,
Ophelia, and such well known charac-
tiers, and her peerless graces and power
must have been more manifest. As it
was, all admit she acted we'll. Mrs
Hayne has, what might be termed for
want OF better word, mannerism, yet
it is all her own and inimitable Itdoes
not displease-the peculiarities of Julia
Dean Hayne are graceful and lady-like
and cannot displease. One cannot see
her in any piece and forget for mo-
ment that she is Julia Dean Hayne.-
She never loses herself in the charac-
ter-the character is merged in her and
that too without loss. Whatever pre-
formed conception of character we may
have had, no sooner does Mrs. Hayne
appear to personate it than the old ide-
atty vanishes without leaving the shad-
ow of regret Mrs. Hayne becomes
the character itself, the true and real
character, or rather she seems to re-en-
act the events of her own life, and each
piece but represents part her own his
tory. If we may be pardoned the ex-
preston we would say, she does not act
on the stage, she lives.
The troupe have been playing at
Grass Valley during the week to excel
lent houses.

4 Phcnomenon-The shaft of e. T.
Burton & Co., on Sunday last was the
scene of strange and unexpected phe-
nomenon. AS a miner was at work in
the bottom of the shaft he suddenly
found himself in the midst of a fire. The
shaft is double one, and jumping into
a bucket which CHANGED to be down in
the apartment not on fire, was hauled
out in double quick time unsinged. The
flames burned nearly to the top of the
shaft, and reminded those who saw it
of the place we read of. After few
moments the fire went out doing no dam
age. The shaft is about two hundred
feet in depth, and is being sunk upon
ground under which se-eral years since
tunnels had been run. 1t is supposed
that the gases arising from the decay
ing timbers of the old tunnel found an
aperture into the shaft and becoming
suddenly ignited caused the phenomenon
of Sunday last. The gas is continually
making its exit into the shaft, and for
the amusement of visitors lighted can
die is occasionally used to ignite the
stream and reproduce ona smaller scale

Acctdents.-A miner at Gouge Eye,

and arms were severely muilated. A
companion was also slightly injured.
B. II. Collier, while cleaning the en-
CINE of the Canada Hill Mill on We'd

crushed in horrible manner. Two
bones of the lesser fingers were crushed
at the joint at the junction of the fingers
and Rand. The hand was otherwise
badly bruised. DIR. Bailey was called
and succeeded in putting the wounded
parts in proper order.
A German on Wednesday was iniur-

mile out of town on the Washington

The Late Disaster The loss of the

The Late Disaster The loss of the
Central America has shot pang of sor-
row through the entire State. Hun
dreds of our fellow-beings, after long
absence from their native land, were
about to renew the tender ties which
bound them to home kindred and friends,
when they met watery grave. They
have gone down among the pillows and
the last wave has settled over them for
ever. The oceans resounding surges
play arequiem to hundreds of our friends
lost beneath the waters. 1t is melan-
choly theme on which to dwell. The
memory of the loved and gone comes
up, and the soul is narrowed at their I'M
timely fate. 1t is sad to call up the ia
miliar faces which looked and said a
heartfelt goodbye but few short weeks
a go and urge upon the mind the unbid-
den truth, that those speaking eyes are
closed in death, and those soul-moved
lips evermore sealed. o, could the gift
of prophecy have foretold their fate,-
could a small vista of the future been
opened disclosing to us their doom =
How we would have chung to our friends
and never have given them up to such a
sacrifice. How we would have snatch
ed them from the jaws of death to bless
us with their companionship 10 these
many years of our earthly pilgrimage.
Why could not this much of an attribute
of Deity been granted us in so exigent
a moment. Alas, Heaven hides from
all creatures the book of fate" Poor,
short sighted, weak types of evanes-
cence that we are, knowing not the sor-
rows with which the morrow is laden,
or how soon the scissors of Parcus will
clip the slender thread of life and send
the unfettered soul-God knows where
In the late appalling disaster Nevada
county lost her full quota of citizens
good men and true while among US and
their deaths bear testimony that they
were true to the last 1t is not the pride
of our county to boast of the number of
our citizens saved, but of the number
lost. We furnished no lap-dog men who
were thrown in with the women and
children and are counted among the
saved. Our contribution to the late i'm
notation was of men, who devoted them
selves to save the tender and helpless
and persisted, as they would have done
in battle, like heroes, where danger was
found. They died as became them,
honorable to the last. And while we
regret with a lasting regret the catastro-
phe which deprived us of friends, there
is nothing of disgrace in their death to
add poignancy to our grief. Let them
sleep in peace.

The almost universal tone of indigna.

1t may be very just that the Chinese
should be compellel to pay this onerous
tax, in addition to those common to all
but it is certainly not unreasonable to
insist that it be collected by just and le-
gal process, and not by violating the
most sacred rights of man, as in the fol-
lowing instance. that occurred in our own
town, only few days since. A certain
officer was collecting road-tax and de-

protested to have none-an almoneyed

money wrenched from him, and then had
the information politely impaired to him
that his said pile would be returned to

should be forthcoming. But" John" be-
ing so stupidas not to see the exact pro-
priety of the proceeding, called in sew

his determination to carry out his design,
