LOOKOUT FOR CouNrERFEITs.-Coun
terfeIt greenbScks are coming into TIT
country from the East, and as many o
them are good limitations OF the genuine
article. people cannot be too careful no"
they take them. On Friday last. a mar
named Lindsey, formerly a resident o,
Plscerville. and who recently returned
from a trip to the East. where he no doubt
obtained the queer" was arrested al
Strawberry Valley, on a telegram from
P!acervill, charging him with passing a
counterfeit gTeenback on a toll-road
kecper. The Constable at Strawberry had
received the telegram to lookout for such
a person. and As \ stranger, who was
travelling on horseback, was there. but
was about leaving. and the description
was quite correct, he went 10 the stable,
and the stranger being just in the act OF
mounting his horse. he informed him that
he was HIS prisoner. He carelessly sub
mi,;ed. and took his horse into the stable
AGAIN and tied him. The Constable then
searched and found nothing but about
four hundred dollars in genuine coin on
him. He subsequently searched the
manger where the stranger tied his horse,
and down among the hay he found a
pocket-bock containing fifteen hundred
dollars in counterfeit, G~reenbacks. OF
course. the stranger opened his eyes. He
was on his way 20 Washoe. where we have
nothing but coin. and he wanted 10 fur
nish US unsophis,icated Washoei;es with
Il good substitute for paper currency.
Ply bu, he had come over and sold the
whole lot 10 Judges Brosnan and Beatty.
The Constable who arrested him walked
him off down TO Placerville, and he was
subsequently taken down 20 San Fran
cisco, where he arrived on Saturday night.
!, is supposed he has some Contederates
in his transaction.
MAorIRE's OPERA Horsg.-The Opera
House was filled 20 OVERLOOKING las, night
on the occasion Of the performance given
OF the Odd Fellows Library Association
Of Virginia. Every seat in the house was
crowded and no available spot where
standing-room could be found but wa,
occupied-in fact, packed and crammed.
Many who came to the thcater could not
find O place 10 stand and went away.
There were two pieces presented. The
Golden Farmer" and Slasher and
Cra.her," and both were performed in a
manner tina, would have done no discredit
to an old theatrical company. We hope
to see the Virginia Amateurs appear more
frequently on the boards.

corning Walter Bray's minstrel and ,heat-
Iical troupe: Bray presents q bill for to-

The whole will conclude with the Mis-
chievous Niger" in which Carrie Chap

EXCELSIOR DIsrRIcr.-A late arrival
from this district states that the snow is
now abou, six feet deep on the level in
the vicinity of SUNNI, City. bu, there are
places where il has drif,ed 10 q much
greater depth. l, would be Of little use
for persons intending 10 prospect for
claims TO go 10 the district at present. or
sooner than six weeks from this time.
They who already have their mines To-
Gated and are acquainted with the coun-
please. Little prospecting can be done
until snow goes off.
SPRINO.-As Spring is now shedding
ITS !nvigorating influences over the land,
in order ,ha, mankind may best enjoy
health. experience has demonstrated that
the system should undergo a slight
change. which may be benefcially effected

educated physician. DR.. J. 6. Thomas,
whose home for the sick is opposite Odd
Fellows Hall. Gold Hill. is receiving a
good many calls from patients who need
medical attendance.
