BANJO PRESENTATION. - The south
works of the Yellow Jacket mine, on
last Saturday evening, were enlivened
by quite a pleasant imprompta party,
who came to make a presentation, or
testimonial, to u much-respected friend
and fellow-laborer, by the name Of Dam
iel Sheehan-whom the donors consid-
cred to be entitled, by virtue Of his mu-
steal aspirations and untiriug energy,
to some token of regard, and through
which he might acquire an accomplish
meut equal to the immortal Quinn, ut
McCluskey's. Quinn, rs is well known
to every man about Gold Hill, is II really
splendid banjo-player-aud, of all the
songs he sings, or the solos he plays,
" GLORY Hallaluja-rum is, perhaps, the
most popular. Sheehau has been
:" stuck" after it; has made a banjo of
wood aud wire, and practised upon 1t
and H%allaluja-rum until the we
sma' hours" His friends therefore,
have been fully impressed with his mu-
steal abilities, and on Saturday evening,
through their spokesman, Woodwork,
and also through several kegs OF lager,
presented a new and splendid banjo to
Mr.. Sheehan aforesaid. So young Billy
Watson tells us.
