A WEATHER ERRAK.-The La Porte Mes
senger says; On Sunday evening last, the
northeastern portion of the sky almost instant
ly grew of reddish color, reminding one Of
those sky pictures above the grand prairie con-
Aagrations in the West; and almost as quick
as thought the heavens assumed grayish hue,
and hailstOnes poured down in abundance. The
hail storm continued but moment. and was
followed by a light fall of snow. The weather
changes, which we have here noticed, occurred
in hriefspace Of time, and were startling ana
novel even to California. ia

For THE CoLoRADo.-The Appeal 10 in
formed that party of Marysvillians started
for the Colorado region week or two
since, attracted thereto by reports privately
received, of rich gold and silver mines to
be had for the taking up. They were pro-
vided for long prospecting tour, and
others are to follow in the same direction
shortly. The most extravagant accounts
are given of the value Of the discoveries.
One letter says that some specimens from a
lead, situated about one hundred and twen-
ty miles from Fort Yuma, had assayed at
at the rate of $l3, 900 to the ton. There is
probably enough truth in the report to at
tract considerable rush thitherward, next
spring.

APLEA FOR TIE DRAMA.-In lecture on

Md. Conway, of Cincinnati, before the
Phoenix Literary Society Of that city, the
following pas age occurred: "The actors

lantbropists are doing for the beggar,boys
aud ragamufins in the streets They dress
up these senses and passions in presentabie
clothes, and teach them that they are some
thing, and have something to do. Shall
laughter, frolic and fun be vagabond forev-

clear loss, and not even teach us lesson,
nor give US laugh as they pass?

The CuINEsE.-The Columbia Times says
there are several Cinnamon at that place,
who read and speak English and Spanish
huently, while it has often been remarked

The Chinese in this section may be able to
read and write their own language, but we
never came across one who could read or
write English.

Coon roR'LAuRlE. We read, in n
late New York paper, that Sun.
day or two ago, the Rev. Mr. Laurie
had occasion to exchange pulpits
with the Rev. 4. II. Chaplin, the
celebrated Universalist preacher.
Many members of Mr.. Chapin's con-
grcgation have an idea that nobody
else can preach sermon as well
as their pastor. and when they en-
ter their church and find stranger
occupying his place, they are apt
to turn and go out, So IL happened
on this occasion that not few per-
sons departed and others were on
the point Of doing so, when Mr.. l..
arose hymn book in hand, and
gravely remarked" All those
who came here TO worship Il. II.
Chaplin will have an opportunity to
retire, and those who came to wor-
ship the everlasting God will please
unite in singing the following
hymn.'-Picayune.
