PRovEAsoR BCsHELL's ENTERTAINMENT
regret that Professor Bushell has fallen upon
sucb evil times" in Placerville. The election
and lis ueCeHnauN UcCul W uHNe
.ngrossed the attention Of all classes, IN the
exclusion Of every other consideration. Had
the Professor made his debut among Us at any
other time, We doubt nut his entertainments
would have been well appreciated. N"Ihing
daunted, however, he has determined to give
the citizens Of Placcrvillc one more chance,
fully satisfied that all that il required is good
"siarter." and that then the people. like Oliver
