pronounce this climate of ours altogether
unsuited TO him. and certain to bring sud-
den death to him if he again take up his
abode in Nevada. The Governor is now
at Santa Clara, and is able to be about,
but he is by no means strong. His
trip to Pshrannagat, and the severe trials
badly caused his late sudden and severe
illness. In a more equable climate we
hope Governor Blasdelrs years may be
prolonged and pleasant.
Music HALL.-The highly amusing
burlesque entitled "One Hundred Years
Hence, or Pants VS.. Crinoline," and the
wonderful sphinx" were the grand at
fractions at the Hall last evening. One
OF the prettiest and most amusing features
Of the burlesque is that Of the lady per-
formers all being dressed in the latest and
most fashionable style as young GENTLE
men, and rakish young rogues they look
to be sure. Their makeup" is gallant
and gay in the extreme. \ more ludi-
crous looking set than the men performers,
all in female rig, is difficult to imagine.
The programme will be repeated this even

understand that it is the intention Of

goes"

an average of $33 81 to the ton. A big
mistake. -
