The PAVILION AT SACRAMENTo.-We re-
marked, the other day, that "visitors" (pluraD
from the State Fair had stated that the walls
of the Pavilion were cracked, and that it was
considered unsafe. The Union replies that
the Architect of the building declares that
there is not a crack in it, and adds:
The Pavilion is triumph as well as the
Fair, and the Democrats informant must have
been blinded by jealousy, envy or malice.
That the Democrat should have published
such statement upon the authority of any
single individual, without further inquiry is
to us a matter of surprise.
We published the statement mainly upon
the authority of a highly respectable lady of
this city, who heard many persons declare
that it was their opinion that the building
was wholly unsafe

A GREAT BLUNDER-Advices have been

to an impolitic movement of the American
Consul General at that place, the japanese

and though according to the treaty, that port

A NEW WAY TO oPEN a SnAFr.-W. 5. Day
of North San Juan has made an experiment in
the way of opening shafts which have be-
come choked up with earth and water. The
Hydraulic Press says:-
The shaft leading to a tunnel having become
choked up with earth and water, he half fill
cd quicksilver tank with powder, attached
to it piece of safety fuse, stopped the mouth
of the tank so that 1t would not admit water,
| lighted the end of the fuse which he had as
certained would burn in water and then
| drupped the tank into the shaft. Immediate
| " upon sinking to the earth it exploded, and
the water above offering greater resistance
than the soft earth and gravel below, the en-
trance to the tunnel was at once cleared
| Attempts to clear choked up shafts by taking
hose and pipe into the tunnel with which
they connect, has heretofore caused the loss
of several valuable lives, and for this reason
it is to be hoped the simple experiment we
have described will be thoroughly tested
THE New York Tribune speaks as follows
of a new play entitled "Geradine; or Loves
Victory" the author of which, is Mrs. II. J..
Bateman:
1t is divided into the traditional five acts !;
it abounds in an unusual amount of impossi-
ble incident; in it is presented the following
programme of conflicting passions, etc. Love,
Revenge, Hope, Despair, Jealousy, Agony
and Death; and the effect of the whole is
dreary. The absurdity of the incident on
which the whole play hangs will be instant
~ recognized. That a woman should be
hunchbacked for six years and not know it
herself, is too eXtravagant supposition for
anything but the broadest burlsque-
AURORA BoREALIs-In speaking of bril-
liant Aurora Borealis which made its appear
ance on the night of August 2S.h, the Cincin-
natl Commercial says:
"The light was so intense that our hand
held near a wall cast shadow, and we read
by it solid minion type"
On the 29th of August, the Superintendent
of the Canadian telegraph lines, telegraphed
as follows:
81 never, in an experience of fifteen years
in working telegraph lines, witnessed any
thing like the extraordinary effect of the Au-
rora Borealis between Quebec and Farther
Point, last night. The line was in perfect
order, and we'll skilled operators worked in
cessautly from eight o'clock last evening till
one o'clock this morning, to get over in an
ineligible form about four hundred words of
the report per steamer Indian, for the Asso-
ciated Press, and at the latter hour so com
pletely were the wires under the influence of
the Aurora Boreals that it was found utterly
impossible to communicate between the tele
graph stations, and the line had to be closed"
The same difficulty prevailed as far South
as Washington.

The AGRICULTURAL FAIR in Plumas county
was held at Quincy on the goth and 2lst ol
this month. The Argus says, that as eompar.
ed with similar exhibitions recently held at
Sacramento and Marysville, it is perhaps
hardly worthy of notice, and adds:
We now say, that had twenty men made
the same effort that was made by Gen. Rus
sci, the display would have been a credtaLle
one, both to them and the county.
From the exhibit made by the few who
we're sufficiently public spirited to interest
themselves in the matter, we conclude that a
little enterprise and competition among our
selves is all that is necessary TO enable US to
compete with any portion of the State, in
either quantity or quality of our agricultural
productions. We further think that other
men zen are ot the same opinion, and next season
VIII show us many who were idlers in this
year heartily at work to advance the organ
ization.

of rock which yielded trife over 40
ounces of gold, valued at SIT 25 an

UNCLAIMED EsTATE-Peter Ellison
who died in Bridgeport Township, Ne
vada county, in September 1856, left an
estate valued at $792. Mr.. Joseph
Thomas, partner of Mr.. Ellison, was
appointed administrator of the estate,
and after paying the debts, and deduc-
ting the expense administration, there
was balance of S215 Al, which is now
deposited with the County Treasurer.
No one knew where Mr. Ellison was
from, Or whether he had any relatives
living, and unless the estate is claimed
the balance will escheat to the State
If he left any heirs, it is proper that
they should know the facts, so that they
can claim the money. Exchanges please

The Mr.. Ellison referred to by the
Democrat was popularity known about
San Juan by the name of "Chips," and
was killed by Hargraves, as our citizens
