as Surgeon in the Hungarian Army. and was a regu-
lar Practitioner of Medicine On the strength of these
the degree granted. The ad eunde Degree as its

Stranger, if you want to go to any place, go to
San Juan, or to Grass Valley and Nevada-for
you can go to either of those places for ONE
DOLLAR-don't go by the way of Folsom from
Sac. City to those places, and pay ten dollars,
would like to ride little more comfortable, with
more safety, and without the society of China
men and that sort of stock, you can be accom-
modated at the YOUNG AMERICA SALOON,
corner of Second and High streets, MARYS-

in as good style, and give you good satisfac-
ton for your money, you can get in any

THEATRIcALs.-1n the valley cities theatre
calls appear to be at a discount. No company
worthy of support, whether dramatic, eques-
trian, vocal and instrumental or what.not
visits this place without drawing good
houses. We aave not the same oppressive
heat to complain Of The evenings are de-
lightfully cool. Besides our new theater is
now so near finished, and is, withal, so COM
Portable and snug an institution, that it is a
pleasure to GO 20 it. Why don't some of the
deserving idramatics" come along.

ELINDNEss AMONG Cows.-A large number
of valuable cows have lately gone blind, from
some unknown cause, in this neighborhood.
Mr.. Flanley, we understand, who resides near
the site of Clark & Co.'s old saw mill, has five
cows blind with one eye each, and two that are
stone-blind. Mr.. Evans, the dairyman, has one
COW that has lost the sight of both eyes, and
others more or less affected in their visual
organs. Other instances still of this sudden and
strange disease have been reported to US, for
which no person has yet assigned any plausi-
BILE cause. There is possibility that the eye of
the cow may come in contact with the blossom
of some noxious weed, at the present season,
when pasture is scarce, and she is compelled to
crop her food from the midst of fern patches,
fennel beds, and bushes of various kinds, which
yield limited quantities of nutricious juices.
This, however, is question for the doctors to
decide, and their attention is respectfully called
to the subject

ANOTHER CABIN RoBBED.-The cabin of
Martin Gallagher was entered by a Chinaman
on Monday afternoon, who had seized upon
q blanket and other small "traps," with a
view of appropriating them to his own uses,
when he was discovered on the retreat by
Jack Brown and Tom. Brady, who
gave chase and by the aid of dog belonging
to the latter, "brought him to-" He was
delivered over to the authorities, tried and
convicted. He had a confederate, who was
on the watch outside the cabin, took the hint
in time, and effected his escape.

WAsHoE STAGE LINE.-Our urfellow-townsman,
Mr.. Stephen Southwick, has established line
of coaches between this place and Virginia City.
He makes the trip over and back once week,
and has coach facilities for twelve passengers.
He has thus far made three four trips with
great success and, as the facts become better
known, and people ascertain how infinitely su-
perior ours is to the Placervie route, it is proba-
BILE the demands of travel will require daily
line. Steve is one of the most jolly, agreeable
fellows one ever rode with, and keeps up such a
continuous volley of jokes, that passengers ex-
press the highest admiration of him and his line
We think he is bound to make the enterprise
win.

BALLS AND RuMoRs OF BALLs-The season
is unusually gay. A Ball was given at the
Camptonville Brewery, of Messrs. Williams &
Co., on Friday evening of last week, which was
numerously attended by our citizens. The en-
tertainment offered was superb. Those who
know we'll how to appreciate good living, inform
us that the supper was equal to the best ever
served in the State.
On Monday evening Mr.. T. G. Price gave a
Social Ball, at the San Juan Hotel, which en-
braced due proportion of the beauty and fashion
of our village. Nevada was we'll represented.
The candidates came out in force. Some of
them being good looking, and all of generous
.proclivities, they made things lively in their
wake. AT IL o'clock most sumptuous ban
'quet was spread, embracing every bird in the
poultry line, fruit in the vegetable kingdom, and
delicacy in the pastry department, which were
prepared in a style of excellence to rayish the
palate of an epicure.
On the 9th of next month, Edward Allison
will entertain the dancers. He is making prep
arations for large company; and expects visit
ors from the valley as low down as Marysville,
and from all parts of the surrounding country.
Thus, we have our mountain pleasures, and in
dulge them in that rational manner which
secures health well as enjoyment.

NEARLY FIRE.-Mr. Pat Butler, of the firm
of Franchere & Butler, was observed to rush
violently out of the drug store on Thursday
morning, with basin of water in his hand. Mr..
F. was entering at the time, and encountered
P. B. at the doorstep. His excited manner
aroused F.'s attention; but without making any
remark he watched P. b. mott ,ns, which were of
the following sensible, but at that time, apparently
singular order: He ran two doors above, climbed
upon the roof of frame building occupied as
Chinese kennel, caught hold of straw mattress
lying near stove-pipe, from which volume of
smoke arose, and dashing the water upon it, ex-
tinguished smouldering fire, which, in half
hour longer, might have wrapt the whole Chinese
quarter in confagration. The FIRE had COM
municated from the stove-pipe, and was only
discovered by Mr.. Butler accidentally. His
romptitude-although his conduct, to his part
ner, was a little mysterious-no doubt saved a
large portion of the town from being burned to
ashes.
