one time, and all who were there express unqual-
flied satisfaction with the performance, which
very much exceeded their expectations We hear
a general wish expressed for a repetition of the
performances Several of the representations
were exceedingly good-so perfect that many in
the audience mistook the figures for paintings
The music, stage arrangement, costumes and
scenic effect were all complete and we think all
the parties concerned may congratulate them
selves in having been com mpletey successful in a
difficult undertaking, which proved credtable to
the intelligence Of performers, and which in its
reception showed extraordinary refinement and
taste in the audience.
= INDUSTRY AND ITS REwARD.-Mrs. Eliza Todd,
who owns q ranch mile below Weavervilc, is
a remarkable woman. In 1862, she walked from
Shasta to Weavcrville, and, without money, began
the business Of washing for six dollars dozen.
An acquaintance who lived near her domici, says
that for long time she was bending over the
wash-tub at daylight in the morning at noon and
at ten O'Clock at night. Business prospered, and
after a while she bought two claims which turned
out well. Then she bought chickens which laid
eggs at half dollar apiece; then she bought a
pig for 1925, and sold its progeny for an ounce
or S25; then bought COWS and sold milk. Bust
ness still increased, and she began buying real
estate, lending money at ten per cent month,
and speculating in claims; always was fortunate;
every touch turned something to gold Now she
is one of the largest property y-holders in the
North
! We do not know of any instance of female en-.
terprse to compare, and if any one is sccptical
Of woman's capacity to do business aud make
money, we refer b i'm to Madame Todd.

held on Tuesday evening, in Weavcrvilc, in pur-
suance Of resolution adopted at previous
