THEATER.-Signora Giovannina and Signoi
Eugenio Bianchi appeared, last evening, to {
brilliant, fashionable and crowded house.
Their coming to this city is, we believe dc
cided success, as the enthusiasm of the audi
ence was without bounds, and the recogni-
tion of the genius of the performers emphatic
and unmistakeable We shall not undertake
to give critical analysis of the music, but it
was in the highest strain of the operate art.
Opinion seemed to be divided as to the rela-
tive superiority of Signora or Signor Bianchi,
some yielding the palm to the former and
some to the latter. The duets from Lucrezia
Borgia and Lucia Lammermoor were beau
tifully and powerfully rendered, nor were
the other pieces, executed during the even
ing, much less so. There can be no doubt
that, wherever there is intelligence and culti-
walton sufficient to appreciate the opera, these
justly celebrated artists must win the high
est applauses and command the larges
houses They will appear upon our board
again, shortly, of which due notice will b.
given.

A VERY STRANGE AFFAIR--Among the
items of the late foreign news is the follow
ing from the Birmingham Daily Post, about
a young girl who was upon the point Of be-
ing buried before she was really dead. The
Post says:
"The girl, whose name is Amelia Kinks, is
| twelve or thirteen years of age, and resided
with her parents in Bridge street. Noneaton,
and dwindling away under some unaccounta-
Bile complaint, about three weeks ago she, as
her friends imagined, died. The corpse was
then removed to another room The body
was rigid and icy cold. 1t was washed and
laid out with the usual deathly accompani.
ments, penny pieces being placed over the
eyes, and the coffin was ordered
For more than forty-eight hours, the sup
posed corpse lag beneath the winding sheet,
when it happened that her grandfather, a
very aged man, came from Nuneaton. On
going with q female relative to see the
corpse, the old man removed one of the cop
per coins, and although the eye remained
closed he fancied he saw a movement under
the lid. The woman with him at first ridi-
euled the idea, but on looking more closely
she too observed movement The medical
attendant was then apprised Of the circum'
stance and, although he at first treated the
matter as delusion, the application of an in
strument to the region of the heart soon con-
vinced him that there was life within the ap.
parent corpse.
The body was then removed to warmer
room, and the existence of life soon became
apparent BY degrees animation was restor-
ed, loud sneeze placing the fact of her being
a living subject beyond all doubt When
speech was restored, the girl described every
thing that had taken place from the time of
her supposed death. She knew who closed
her eyes and placed the cOppers thereon -
She also heard the order given for her coffin,
and could describe the various remarks made
over her as she lay in her death.clothes.
At first on her restoration, she refused all
sustenance, and upon some aliment being
forced upon her she became frightfully excl
ted, and, though in q state of extreme debili-
ty, it required great force to hold her. Since
that period her conduct has been very
strange. She entertains a wish to destroy
her father and mother; and on one occasion,
when they were asleep in the same room with
herself, she arose from her bed in the dead
of the night went down stairs for light
and having first destroyed, by burning, some
needle. work. which she knew her mother
set great store upon, she set fire to the cur
tains. and then retired to bed, from which it
was thought impossible she could have
moved.
In fact. so mysterious was the origin of tn
fire, that her parents were quite at loss to
account for it, until the girl herself confessed
being the cause. She now lies in such a
state that she can neither be called alive nor
dead, the former state being only ascertain
ed by careful examination of her pulse
Wei it not that there is no motive for decep-
tion, and the parents being credtable people
We should imagine there was some ruse in
this very extraordinary affair, which is caus
ing considerable excitement in Nuneotou and
the neighborhood."

MNING.-So far the present Winter has
been unfavorable for mining operations. In
the Buckeye diggings and in other places of
similar character, says the Shasta Republican
of Saturday, where water can only be obtain
ed in winter, miners have hardly been afford
ed an opportunity of working a fortnight.
The rains of the present week are more en-
couraging, although sufficient water has not
yet fallen to fill the bitches. The transactions
in gold dust have been very light during the
past month. The shipments are much smaller
than is usual at this season of the year.

tions to this paper on the matter involved
from any quarter. The present card simply
cancels the other, and leaves the matter
where it originally stood. Where it origi-
nally stood, it had nothing to do with thi.
paper, did not appear in its columns, and We
shall keep it in its original position, that is to
say, outside of our columns. If there is to be
any discussion of the subject, it must begin
and end in some other journal. The matter
did not originate from any article or commu-
nication in this paper, and, therefore, the first
card being cancelled, we are under no obli-
cations to publish anything further in rela-

WHALE FISHERY, &c.-The Whale fishery
of the Bay of Monterey, in 1858, was carried
on by three companies. netting fifteen hun
dred barrels of Oil. In 1857. one company,
the Portuguese, secured 23 whale, which
yielded $22.500 worth of oil-number of men
employed Is.
The Salmon Fisheries of our State are of
vast importance. The fishery of the Sacra-
mento river employs a hundred boats, each
manned by two men. One hundred men are
engaged on shore, curing and packing the
yield. During the season of 1887, the catch
was about two hundred thousand, average
weight of each, sevente en- pounds-value, one
hundred and seventy thousand dollars. The
Eel river fishery of Humboldt county, is al
so very productive. The Salmon from this
fishery frequently weigh from sixty to seven
ty pounds, and are peculiarly adapted to cur
ing and export. The product of this fishery
in September and October last was two
thousand barrels, beside fifty thousand smo-
ked for home consumption.

MURRAY.-We have been appealed to in
regard to the case of Michael Murray. the
murderer, whose execution is fixed for Fri
day next, January 2lst. 1t is asked that his
sentence be commuted to imprisonment for
life, and petitions containing such demand
have been forwarded to the Governor We
think this case warrants Executive modifca
ton; the condemned asks small favor, one
which, in our view. will infict greater pun
ishment and pay the demand of Justice more
fully. There is much sympathy for Murray.
and the many circumstances which attended
the killing of Sweeney, have been tested
by public opinion considerably in his favor,
Another point is very materials it is the opin-
ion thaHby some sort of trickery, Cole will be
acquitted of the bloody murder committed
at Gibsonville. There is not one mitigating
circumstance in his favor, but he obtained a
new trial and a continuance witnesses may
disappear, and at last the offender be convict
ed of mansaughter or discharged from ar.
rest. People think he is more deserving of
punishment for murder than Murray. and
that if he is not punished to the deserved ex-
tent, justice will not have been administered
equitably in the EXECUTION of Murray.

THEATRICAL CHARACTER OF BURKE.-The
following story of Burke's artifcalness and
Sheridan's wit, is told by the literary editor
of the Philadelphia Press:
Everything about Burke was artificial
his oratory his patriotism, his very friend
ships. To the last, he showed the theatrical
character of his eloquence Every one recol.
lects. no doubt, how, during the excesses of
the French Revolution, scene was created
in the House Of Commons. by Burke's com
mitting the outrageous absurdity of throwing
drawn dagger upon the floor, and shout,
ing, to the astonished members. This is what
you will gain by an alliance with France. y
But every one may not know how this ex.
travagance was summarily reproved by the
presence of mind of Brinsley Sheridan. who
started up and exclaimed, There is the knife
but where is the fork ?" at which Burke
scowled at the wit, picked up his papers. and
rushed out of the House, followed bya shout
of laughter.
