CHINESE RoBBERs.-One day duringthe pres
ent week, Chinamar went into the clothing
store of s. Haas & Co., and bought a pair Of
boots. While the salesman was rasping out the
pegs John picked up another pair of boots and
concealed therA about his person. He paid for
the pair which ne had bougAt, and started to go
off. The salesman suspectsng That all was moi
right, followed him to the sidewalk, stopped him.
and searching under his blouse or shirt, became
convinced that his suspicious had not been
groundless. There, snugly slowed away, were
the boots which the rascal had stolen. The sales
man compelled John to take both pairs and pay
roundly for them.

and disappeared from view, one of them was
heard to crack his whip and in savage accent
exclaim, "You julie get up dare, d~n your

Of music was heard in the streets. The impromp-

superior Brass Band, handsomely uniformed,
and discoursIfga stirring popular air, leisurery
parading the principal thoroughfare. Whenthe

Brass Band had come thus far as an honorary
escort to their leader, Mr.. Weston, ahd Louis
Dibbie, one oftheir members, who were en- route

and got together in the evening, at the hotel
above mentioned, party of ladies and gentle
men, in honor of the Band, and pleasant dance
ensued, which was protracted into the small
hours. Mr.. Cole entertained The Band during
the afternoon of Tuesday, at the Sierra Nevada
Hotel, TO sumptnous dinner; and at later
hour Messrs. Brown B Clark, of the Bank Ex--
change, poured generous 1ibation of sparkling
champagne. On Wednesday morning, when thefr
departing Brothers took an adieu, the Band
played "Home, Sweet Home" in such pathetic
and touching manner as to draw tears from
number of eyes. But shocking To relate! while
before the counter of the Hotel in Tie act df set
tling their respective bills, Frank Housum, who
is good judge of coin, discovered that their
money was counterfeit He wouldn't permit
the landlord to touch cent of it; but stepped
between, and arranged matters so that entire sat
isfaction was given. AS the Band was seated
in their wagon, in front of the hotel discoursing
a farewell tune preparatory to their return home,
they received three cheers from portion of our
citizens. About the same time, handsome
young lady appeared on the balcony above, with
an armful of brilliant natural flowers, which she
let fall up the heads of the musicians. In the

arrived here from Downieville by stage the other

was so struck with the beauty of the place, that
he concluded to lie over a day. A portion of his
time was spent in our sanctum, where five gal
Ion keg Of Koch's lager beer was prominently
mounted, ana we endeavored to be as hospitable
with it as we knew how; but he didn't drink
lager, and our courtesy was at a non-pluss. Send
Charley Chase along this way, and see if he isn't
"sound on the lager question" By-the-way,
these gentlemen are co-parthers, publish an ex-
eellent paper at San Francisco, and we should
think that the mountain fremen and iovefs Of

MIDDAY PIcNIc.-A bevy of young ladies
from Marysville-six or eight in number-joined
by wagon-load of fair ones from Freeman's
Crossing, concentrated at San Juan on Wednes-
day, about noon, with the intention, as is sur
missed, of visiting the Eureka diggihgs. They
proceeded as far as the banks, and looking down
hundred and fifty feet into the crater, conclud-
ca, with the poet, that distance lent enchant-
ment to the view" Having their subsistence
with them, they retired to the shade Of a neigh
boring tree, and partook Of a cold COLLATION..
We are informed that a young gentleman was
dispatched to the town for male recruits, and
that although he came across several persons
whom he had instructions to invite, he was so
full of the subject that it deprived him Of all
power of utterance, and he said nothing. This
is why we are unable to give more of the par

He sailed out with his gun, and'aiscovered John
in the act Of stripping the fruit into sack. On
hearing Mr.. Abbey, the thief took to his heels.
That gentleman disehargea his gun at John, and
felt pretty sure that the shot had taken effect.
