The Fourth at San Juan.

The most extensive celebration of the
National Anniversary ever had in this
county came off on Monday last at North
San Juan. At an early hour the Nevada
Rifles, dressed in their new uniforms land
presenting a capital aspect set out for the
scene of enjoyment in carriages and on
horseback. Arriving at Sebastopol,
they were met by the Committee of ar
rangements and citizens generally of
North San Juan, accompanied by fine
band of music having twenty-five pieces,
and led by Major S. s. Lewis the accom-
plished Marshal of the day. The Band
discoursed most patriotic and inspiring
music while the Rifles were passing,
and leading the procession into town.
After a short recess. the process
ion again formed and marched to the
grove prepared for the occasion. Hail
Columbia" was played by the band
Il. FL. Farquhar, Esq, read the Declar-
alton of Independence, and was followed
by George S. Hupp, Esq. the orator of
the day, in brilliant oration which de-
lighted every one who heard it. The
band struck up one of their patriotic
airs, when some four hundred proceeded
to satisfy the inner man at two immense
tables spread in the grove for the occa-
sion. The Rifles fired a few volleys,
and went through their evolutions to the
satisfaction of the large crowd. After
dinner all hands repaired to the speak
er's stand where toasts were read by M.
S. Miller, Esq, which were responded
to by Messrs. Hupp, Capt Shoemaker,
Maj. Lewis and others, when general
adjournment took place, after marching
into town, to the ball in the evening.
Messrs. Edwards & Swain, of the I'm
ion Hotel certainly surpassed themselves
in getting up the Ball and supper.
The Nevada Rifles were handsomely
treated by the San Juaners, and as a
testimonial of their appreciation of their
brethren, tender their grateful thanks in
a card in another column.

ANOTHER Express. ROBBERY The
Alta Express Company were robbed Of
over $1,000, at Yankee Jims, on Mon
day morning last. 1t was a most daring
affair. The night watehman Mr.. Full
ler' who puts the specie box aboard the
stage had taken it out and while looking
to see if the stage was coming received
a severe blow on the side of the head
which knocked him senseless. Recov-
ering shortly after he found the box
gone. He calledup the agent of Wells
Fargo & Co. and others, horses were
procured and they started in pursuit.
The box was found about an hour and a
half after the assault upon Fuller. The
lock was carefully taken off, and togeth.
er with the contents of the box missing.
A pistol taken from Fuller while insen-
sible, was found with the box. 1t is
supposed from indications that two rob.
bers were engaged in the transaction
one outside the town to aid in the es-
cape. From footprints it appeared that
the robbers took the direction of Todd's
Valley. Fuller bled profusely but is
not dangerously hurt.
A reward of $500 is offered for the re-
covery of the money which mostly came
from Michigan Bluffs.
