during the engagement of Mrs. Getzler and
Mrs. Leighton, supported by Mortimer, Pot
ter, Robinson, Mrs. Robinson and others.
The house has enjoyed very liberal patron
age throughoutgthe season; crowded audito-
ries have greeted each performance, and the
interest is not abated in the9ieast. Mrs. Getz-
ler1s dancing is nightly encored to the echo,
and forms an important feature in the enter
tainments.FI The season at the Jenny Lind
has closed for the present. Waldron and h Is
troupe have played short season, and done
some Of the best tragic acting ever seen in
" these parts" notwithstanding which they
have met with but Indifferent success. The
public mind is evidently not in mood for
heavy tragedy.
Henry & Mckinley have formed a travel.
ing comp yLcoHsisting of artfstes of superior
merit, and will visit CenteryiHe, PIaeerville.
and Pioneer city, performing a few nights in1
each place. ]. E. Myers, stage manager, is
ayoung comedian that never fails to elicit
applause wherever he, goes. Mrs. Belle
Douglas sustains herself in all manner oil

the greater fayorite she becomes; in other
words she bears acquaintance we'll, and the
audience never becomes weary of her per-
formances. Mrs. Waldron, Hamilton and
Reeves in their line, are very good /; and Bob
Lindsay in addition to being good vocalist,
is progressing finely as an actor. n Other
members Of the company are too weIl-known
to require an Introduction. They perform !

A New MATERIAL IN WARFARE.-
Chloride of nitrogen will, it is said, soon

employment would seem likely to put an
end to all war. Mr.. Isham Bags, an
English chemist, in announcing his dis

sition in balloons. and drop it from the
air in the midst of armies and fortresses.
"The very mention of this compound, !"

the most accomplished of their number
would scarcely dare to experiment with it

strong, the slightest cuttings of phospho-
