A SONORA SToRY-The following
rich story is related by Sonora paper
at the expense of queer genius who
vibrated between that town and Oregon
MS "advance" agent of concert troupe
and who, though pretty clever in selling
the curiously inclined, does not always
come off first best:
Frank Ball, travelling in a vehicle
bearing a strong resemblance TO a ped
dler's cart. Old lady rushed out from a
house by the roadside. The following
colloquy ensues:
Old Lady-Say, what have you got
to sell ?
Ball. am travelling agent madam
for the greatest menagerie of ancient or
modern times, which is shortly to be ex-
hibited in this section, affording TO the
inhabitants thereof opportunity Of
viewing the most stupendous collection of
animals ever before exhibited.
Old Lady-You don't say. Have you
airy elephant?
Ball--We have, madam, six Elephants
but these constitute comparatively un-
important part of the show. We have
living specimens of bipeds and quadru-
peds, who roamed over the earth not on
ly in the antediluvan, but also in the
pliocene and postmiobene period, en-
bracing the megathorium with six legs
and two tails the cthsosarus, with four
eyes and three tails !; the gyasticus with
no eyes, two noses and four tails the
plesiosarus, resembling Satan in shape,
which splits fire and breathes sulphur,
and many other species, too numerous
for enumeration. We also have a pious
lawyer.
Old Lady-Well, l declare!
BalI-But madam, the greatest curl
osity by far of our exhibition is learned
and classically educated monkey, who
was brought up by Mohammedan priest
in the mysterious regions Of the Great
Desert of Sahara. This monkey speaks
with fuency all the modern languages,
besides Latin, Greek and Hebrew. He
can repeat the Ten Commandments, the
Proclamation, President
Lincoln's last message, and performs the
most intricate examples in mathematics
with rapidly, ease and accuracy. While S
being exhibited in Washington he act
,slly repeated long speech of the Presi
lent. This monkey corresponds
Beautiful young lady suddenly sticks 0
Ter head from the window, and calls out
"Nother mother ask him why then

ther critters ?"

SUCCESS OF THE 7 80 LOAN.

Our readers will notice that subscrip-
tons to the popular 7-S0 Loan are still
continued in the most liberal manner. To
the Old World the success of the Peoples
Loan is one of the wonders of Repub-
lie. The Government does not seek to
borrow in foreign markets; it offers no
premiums to bankers, but appeals directly
to the people. and with what success is
sufficiently shown by the fact that during
torty.three days they subscribed and paid
the cash down for one hundred aud Sirty-
one million dotlarS of the 7-30 Loan.
There can be no stronger evidence of pub
lie confidence in Government securities,
While nearly all other stocks have gone
down from twenty to fifty, and even
greater per cent. within few weeks, all
forms of T. S. bonds and stock have re-
manned firm except the slight fluctuations
that are incident to all rapids changes in
the money market Our readers will re-
member that the subscribers to the 7-30
Loan receive semi.aunual interest at the
rate Of seven and three-tenths per cent.
per annum in currency, and at the end of
three years from June 18th, 1865, they
will have the option of receiving payment
in full, or converting their notes into
500 six per cent, gold interest bond. The
late great decline in the premium on gold
makes these notes more desirable than
ever as an investment, and it should not
be forgotten that their exemption from
state or municipal taxation adds largely
TO their value. There is no interruption
in the receipt of subscriptions or the de-
livery of the notes. All banks, bankers,
and Others acting as Loan Agents, will
pay subscribers the interest in advance
from the day of subscription until June
10Th.

about Richmond soon. am anxious to
have Lee hold on where he SO short time

ton where he must lose great portion OF
his army. The rebellion has lost its vi.
tality, and if am not much mistaken,
there will be no rebel army of any great
dimensions few weeks hence. Any
great catastrophe to any one of our armies
would, of course, revive the enemy for q
short time, but expect no such thing tc
happen. ] am in excellent health, bu,

safely, unless by deposit with bank? A
friend at our elbow reminds US that by
filing up the blank left for the name Of
the person to whom the bond is to be paid,
10 one else can make use of Uncle Sans
promise to pay. A seven.thirty becomes
as safe as an ordinary uote.-should it be

Of the number, &c, Of the bond should
be kept distinct from the bond itself

RICHMOND OURS!

RICHMOND OURS!
The place where the serpent of seces-
sion has so long been coiled. and contlnu-
ally darling forth its pestiferous breath
has at last had to sucumb to the prowess
and strategy of the Union armies and was
taken possession of by Gen. Wetzel's brig
ade of colored troops at half past O'Clock
on Monday morning last. The glad It'd
Jugs have probably, ere this reached to al
most every part of our nation, and no
patriots heart can help swelling with joy
and giving vent to his feelings by glad
shouts, and giving thanks to God who
giveth the victory,
HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED.
Tidings of great rejoicings came with
the announcement of the fall Of Rich
moud. A person from Stowe came to this
place on Monday afternoon aud related
the news, he having heard it from some
one else. As the same story had been CIR
culated many times before and as often
proved to be false, not much credit was
given to the story, yet all knew that ac-
cording to the late advices of the move
ments Of the army, it was quite probable,
80 a few of the anxious ones concluded
to wait for the mail from the south, which
usually does not arrive here until quite
late aud often not until the "sInall hours"
The hours of anxious waiting passed and
at last the rolling of the heavy coach
wheels we're heard, and the watchers were
well rewarded, Ones own eyes could
hardly be believed until the dispatches
had been read and re-read and when the
truth presented itself beyond all doubt,
the pent up feelings found vent and glad
shout went forth.
The unanimous decision of the compa
ny was that the event must be celebrated
that night, and that waiting for morning
was entirely out Of the question. Not hav-
ing a gun in the place capable of making
noise enough to express the Importance of
the event, bells and various loud toned
musical instruments were resorted to. The
bells struck up and the ball commenced.
Sleeping villagers we're aroused and came
out en- deshabiUe and anxiously inquired
where the fire was They were soon told
and made to understand that the fire was
IN Richmond and that the city was in
our possession The crowd gained large
additions aud seon the streets were full,
$ each carrying something that would make
a noise. Disabled soldiers and returned
veterans, who had fought and bled before
that same city were among the number
to share the rejoicing Rev. Mr. Whitney
and Rev. Mr.. Bailey were each in turn
called up and made patriotic remarks
BETTING the occasion.
The multitude then proceeded to the
hotel, where congratulations were express.
speeches made, oulogizing the many
brave fellows who have fought SO nobly
and given their lives in this glo-
rious cause, given, songs of pat
riotism and hymns of thankfulness and
praise sung and then the crowd dispers.
ed after singing "old Hundred" and the
"Doxology, at near daylight in the
morning
twas proposed that the next celebra.
tion be held On the Fourth of July next
when it is hoped and believed that the
Union will then be restored and the States
