The Railroad Surrey.-We have a
private letter from Hon, Sherman
Day in which he states he has not
made an offer to survey railroad
route from Auburn to Nevada for
5000. A rapid reconnaissance OF the
route with the aid of an aneroid bar
omeler, and chain run along near
the routes inspected, merely to ascer-
tain the average grades, approximate
distance and leading obstacles to be
encountered, might be done for SIX
hundred dollars. Accuracy and de-
tails would be left to a more costly
and elaborate survey, and the cost
eau be ascertained. Mr.. Day states
more nearly after the survey is finish
ed between Auburn and Folsom. He
would not advise the survey to be
made during the rainy season.

THEAvRlcAL.-Frid ay night of last
week, the occasion of benefit ten
dered by the ladies of this city, was
a most forbidding one. The streets
were in horrid condition and the cold
rain:cam down incessantly. But a
model ate house was in attendance in
consequence. Miss Ince as Medea,
performed splendidly and was enthu-
sias.ically applauded. She was call
ed before the curtain after its fall,
when she returned her thanks in a
beautifully appropriate speech.
Miss Ince leaves many regrets with
the people of Nevada that the inclem-
eney of the weather prevented more
generous patronage on their part
She is now playing in Marysville and
is rapturously received as she de-
serves. No one on the American
stage is more worthy of support.
RoBBERy.-On Friday night of
last week the shutters of the store

A hole was made in tbe wall through
which an arm was thrust and the bolt
10 the shutters showed. The money
and valuablcs were kept in locked
chest which was also opened.
We learn that an expert detective
offered to return the valuables and
thieves for S25O-enough to pay his
expenses in procuring their arrest
o. nothing if he failed; but the offer
was declined.
