We are informed by the Board of Mana
gers, that it is important that our citizens
who have not taken memberships should do
so at once in order to aid them in the prepar-
alton necessary for holding the Fair. The
officers are doing all in their power to have
n Fair worthy of our section of the State. 1t
is evident to all that ample preparations can
not be made without means and the only
means the officers have had to rely upon is
the amount realized from memberships. The
County and City appropriations have not
been received and are not Immediately avail.
able. The Society commenced without a
dollar. 1t has purchased the necessary books
procured its seal has ordered and has nearly
ready one of the finest diplomas in the State,
for which they have paid one half the price
ofthe engraving; they have sent out visiting
committees and have now nearly completed
the necessary preparations at the cattle
grounds: all of which involves the expendi-
ture of money. Besides, there is much more
to be DONE and to do it, money must
be expended In view of these facts it is TO
be hoped that all of our citizens viii call upon
the Secretary and procure memberships at
once. The fee is only IS, and the person
procuring the same and their family are en-
titled to admission through the whole exhibi
ton.

EvENrFuL TMEs.-A nice little row oc-
cured yesterday morning, in front of the
Rialto Saloon, and it happenrd in this way;
1t seems that Billy Dux and companion OF
his, whose name is not given, had been fol-
lowing around, the night before man ta-
miharly called Davy, gambler with the in
tention, as he alleges, of killing him for some
real or immaginary offense. Davey, after
wards, some time in the morning, found the
two fellows asleep in some hole or other ana
tried to wear his walking stick out over their
heads Billy Dux arose with his bowiekniie'
and impressing a briekbat also into his ser
vice, gave chase after Davey, and caused nm
to leave in hurry. AT still later hour
Davev walked up Second street, vowing ven
geance against Dux and his companion,
when, Just as he reached the Rialto Saloon
he saw them coming. He sprang into the
door and drew back his walking stick as if
to strike. The companion of Dux rushed by,
and seizing a pine stick lying near, advanced
on Davey. Davey broke and his assaiant
shiycred the pine stick against the door post,
close to his head Davey meandered across
the street, with his asssaiant after him, and
took refuge in DR.. Balls Office. Afterwards
he came down, and was standing again in
the doorway of the Rialto Saloon, when
Billy Dux or his companion rushed up be-
hsnd him, seized him and followed for the
police Bystanders interfered, and he was
let go. Soon after, Dux's companion walked
down Second street, and saw, in front Of the
What Cheer House, Charley the Butcher and
another individual quarrelling. SteppnguPto
Charley, he said, "What have you got to say
about my fight with Davey, this morningY'
Nothing" says Charley, "but if you want
anything out of me you can have it" At
that, Dux's companion whaled away, and
taking Charley on the nose, knocked him
down. and before Charley could do anything,
the police interferred. Both parties were ar
rested. Subsequently, Dux also was taken
into custody.

RUNAwAY.-Last evening, on the arrival Of
the boat from Sacramento a couple of horses
hitched to a hack, driven by Williams, DASH
ed off at full speed from the landing near
Yuba City, and ran the entire distance to
Marysville. A lady and her son, a boy some
ten or twelve years of age were in the car
riage at the time, while the driver was busy
putting in baggage. AS the horses were
dashing along about half way between Feath-
er river and Marysville, the lady lifted her
son through the back window of the hack
and tumbled him out The fall did not hurt
him in the least. When the vehicle reached
the Plaza near the foot of E street, the lady
pu: her head out, and asked the bystanders
to stop the horses Mr. Moody of Mooney

and stopped them He Afterwards mounted

CUTTING DowN.-The news, by the present
steamer, is that the Administration has given
orders for cutting down the mails within the
limits of California. Tri-weckly and semi
weekly mails will be reduced to weekly, and
various facilities at present existing cut off
The Administration is peculiarly kind to
California, and ought to be sustained by eve
ry true Californian Tri.weekly and semi
weekly mails in the mountains, only serve to
keep the people in a feverish state of mind
and to prevent them from enjoying that calm
and quiet which a reasonable ignorance of
what is going on in the world is calculated to
inspire. If the Government would only cut
off mails entirely, no doubt the people would
be doubly grateful.
