LOCAL MATTERS.

-~NN~H%NNN~
Yesterday evening to see the Kanaka girls
dance, and it is generally conceded that the en-
tertainment was the most extensive "sell OF
the season. The "girls" consisted Of one rath.
er ancient looking Hawaiian female, the other
performers being masculines. The perform
ance was about entertaining as an ordinary
Digger dance. While the company we're per-
forming at Grass Valley, on Thursday evening,
number of eggs were thrown on the stage by
disappointed auditors, which so frightened the
"natives" that they refused to perform any
more. The audience demanded their money
back, but the matter was finally adjusted by the
proprietor of the show treating the crowd.
FIRE AT ORLEANS FLAT.-A dwelling house

less than two minutes from the time the alarm

thing. Mrs. Frizell was at neighbours house
when the fire broke out, and barely had time to
hurry home and get her two children out Of the
burning building The warehouse of Messrs.
Briggs K Hogerty, containing eighteen or twen-
~ thousand dollars worth of goods, was situa-

small-perhaps not to exceed four hundred
dollars. We are indebted to Mr.. Long the ex-
pressman, for the above item.
