THE EVENING NEWS.

IKE MEXICAN lester
day the Mexicans of Virginia celebrated
the anniversary of the Independence Of
their native country. They had been pre-
pairing for the occasion several days In
advance. and consequently were able TO
make good appearance. The celeora.
ton, in fact, commenced at II P. ". Of
Thursday night, by the firing OF cannon,
and the marching of a small procession,
headed by band of music, through the
principal streets of Virginia. Not much
was done, however, until about o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. A procession at
that time formed on B street. First came
the Metropolitan Band, then the Emmett
Guard acting as an escort, commanded by
Col, Hungerford. After them followed q
SQUAD of the now defunct "Shields
Guard" without arms, under Capt. Ca
hill and after them few Of the ''unterri-
fed" Democracy, who are always very
friendly to all foreign-born citizens during
a political campaign. A finely arranged
and tastefully ornamented Liberty car,
with Temple of Liberty erected there
upon, followed, entirely covered with
flowers, and containing a little girl to
represent the Goddess of Liberty. In
front of the temple was little boy dressed
As an Indian, with arrows and CULVER
Flags of all colors streamed from the tenn
pie in the breeze. Immediately following
the car were the flags of our glorious
Cpion and of Mexico, at the head of a
procession Of Mexican citizens numbering
nearly two hundred. The procession pro-
eeeded to Sutlifrs Music Hall by cir
euitous route, where speeches were made
and National song was sung, to the de
light of the audience. The house was
crowded. and the participators apparently
well satisfied with the result Of their
efforts. In the evening the Mexicans still
kept up the celebration by torch light
procession and by general Publication.
Nav the time soon roll around when they
NAV be able to in truth celebrate the lib
erty of their country. when Mexicans
and Mexicans only shall rule in Mexico.
SWISS BELL RINGERs.-This noted COM
pany of musicians will appear at the Gold
Hill Theatre tomorrow evening. They
made their first appearance last night at
Maguire's Opera House, and the Union
Says of the performance: Last evening
Maguire's Opera House was crowded with
a large and fashionable audience to listen
10 the famous Campanalogians. 1t was
the largest gathering that has been seen,
perhaps, within its walls since the theatre
was built; and what is better, not sim
gle person present, We venture to say,
went away disappointed. All seemed to
be deighted-and had good reason to be
80. The sweet music of the bells aston
ished many and pleased all. Madame
Blaisdell is an accomplished harpist, and
Mr.. Buch a magnificent violinlst. Mr..
Rodolph Hall discourses such music upon
the bugle, the clarionet and the cornet, as
was never before heard in this city. But
the bright particular star" is Little
Clara. She is certainly prodigy-and
without an equal, in all our experience, as
\ comic little body to sing and initiate.
She is not, in appearance, more than ten
or twelve years old, vet she has strong,
full voice, which can be heard clearly in
all parts of the house, and is first-rate
actress. She at once ingratated herself
into the affections of our citizens. Again
and again they called her out, until the
manager was finally compelled to ask the
forbearance of the audience, for the reason
that the child had been travelling for sew
eral days, and was quite weary. On her
last appearance a shower of half-dollars
as an offering to her fell upon the stage.
This afternoon, it should be recolected,
they give performance, as also this even
ing. We assure the ladies that they will
miss rare treat if they do not attend, as
any one present last evening will inform
them. 1t is the best performance ever
given in this city, and the only objection
to it, and it is serious one, too, the pro-
gramme is too short. The manager should
remedy this defect.
The ASToR COMPANY, whose claim is
located in Grown Point Ravine," con-
,inue to drive their Tunnel ahead by day
and night working two set of hands
all the time. The rock is hard, requiring
blasting, but they hope soon to meet with
"change," and think the main lead is
not far of, its spur recently passed through
shows some fine " Indications ofmineral
assaying, as high as $500. The depth
from the surface is now between three and
four hundred feet, and when the lead ="
is reached there must be large amount of
water, which alone will make this claim a
tine property to the stakeholder, being
situated high above our Town. If the
company only persevere and hold their
"grip" as firmly for short time to come,
and work as faithfully as they have the
wear and half past, they must reap rich
reward. We regard this as one Of the best
Mining Enterprises undertaken in this
District. accompany is Incorporated in
San Francisco, and E. c. Lowell Esq, is
the Secretary.
