ladies and gentlemen who have never seen
q game of the kind played, and who will

sixty names. The pupils, male and female,

of these children are remarkably bright
and interesting. 1t is noble work, which
the Masonic fraternity have undertaken

themselves, and we again call upon the

A REVOLUTIONARY SToRY.-Ben. w:

been in the habit of repeating his long and
tough yarns so often that at last ne be-
lieyed them himself. Ben. would give q
personal anecdote of every battle of the
war. in which he himself always, OF
course. figured as the hero. On beng
asked if he was in the battle OF Mon
mouth, he replied:
ST guess was. I had my right-hano

MANCHESTER ITEMS.

BAILED BY ORDER OF GENERAL GRAN
GER.-Thomas Clayton, who was committed
to Jail by the magistrates of this place for
,horse-stealing, and who appealed to the
military authorities, has been bailed by or
der of General Granger in the sum Of $500
for his appearance at the August term of
the County Court.
ROBBERY.-The stable of Thomas Va
den, Jr., near this place, was broken open
on Saturday night and two fine mules
stolen. The same parties concerned in this
robbery doubtless broke into the stable of
Captain Foote, at Broad Rock, and stole
his horse. AT this writing nothing has
been heard from either the thieves or the
property. Horse-stealing seems now rather
an accomplishment than crime, and we
advise our citizens to keep a sharp look
out.
ASSAULT AND BATTERY.-J. Brady, for
assaulting John Foisee, colored, was
bound over by Justice Hancock in the sum
of $3.50 to keep the peace for twelve
months.
IMPRov .-Messrs Blanton g. Eu-
bank are erecting large framed building
for Lewis Rogers, Esq, near the corner of
Hull and Eleventh streets, and Mr.. Ajax
Gary, Esq, is making important improve
ments on the corner Of Porter and Twelfth
streets.
NUIsANcE.-The condition of the side
walk in front of Webb's building is deplo-
rable, and demands immediate attention.
Persons travelling that way OF night are
in great danger Of injury to life or limb,
and We trust our Town Fathers will see
that the necessary steps are taken to
remedy this great evil.
PICNIC AT CRYSTAL SPRING.-The an
nual session of the school of the Rev. P.
E. Cosby will close with picnic at Crys-
tai spring on Wednesday. In addition to
the usual attractions there will be decla-
nations, dialogues, and other interesting
exercises by the children, and an address
before the school and their. parents and
guardians by Mr. James A. Gentry. 1a

The REMOVAL OF CAPTAIN BIGGER.-At
the close of the exercises at the Aims
house Mission. Sabbath school on Sunday
last, the superintendent, Mr. J. D. K.
Sleight, offered the following preamble and
resolution, which were adopted by the
unanimous vote of the teachers:
Whereas, Having learned, with deep re-
gret, of the removal of Captain G. P. Big
ger from the Office of Superintendent Of
the City Alms-house, therefore
RESOLVED, That as Sabbath school and
as individuals we tender him our warmest
regards and thanks for his uniform kind
ness toward US, for the deep interest he has
always manifested in behalf Of the child
rem connected with the alms-house, and for
his active zeal for the complete success of
our Sabbath school; and we would united
ly assure him that wherever his lot may be
cast we shall follow him with our best
wishes and the prayer that he may at
length be received into everlasting habi-
tations," even "an house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens"
Mr.. Pierce, the new incumbent, was
present in the school, and expressed to the
superintendent his hearty approval of the
good work, and assured him that every
means in his power would be used to ad-
vance its interests.
This Sabbath school is in very hou-
rishing condition, and seems to be accom-
plishing great good. The superintendent
is an active, Jealous Christian, and by his
efforts in the cause has become we'll known
in the community and endeared himself to
the hearts of many little ones. At the
alms-house the Sabbath school is THE event
of the week, and the inmates long for the
recurrence of Sunday with an earnestness
which shows their appreciation of-its pri-
vileges.

A New Material for Beds.


A new discovery has been made here,
which is likely to make revolution in
mattress making. There is dug out of
the mountains Of the Sierra range better
material for beds than is now available in
the markets of the world. 1t is fully equal
to curled hair, and makes comfortable, use
full, and healthful beds. A factory has been
built on Little Bear river about a mile from
Dutch Flat, which is now employing
large number of men, The material
manufactured is the soap root, which
grows in unlimited quantities in that re-
gion. It is bulbous root, enveloped in
very tough and supple fibre, resembling
somewhat the husk of cocoanut in color
and appearance, but nearly as tough as
whalebone. The roots are dug chiefly
by Cinnamon, bound in bundles of
one. hundred pounds each, and brought
on poles to the factory. The first work is
to put the roots through q picker similar to
a threshing machine, which is run by horse
power. This separates the fibre in a hair
of eight to ten inches long, which is placed
in q large vat or steamer till it becomes
flexible and is freed from all gummy or
glutinous matter. It is then dried on flats
in the sun, put through another finer
picker turned by Chinaman, then taken
and twisted into ropes, as in common
rope walk, then steamed again, which sets
the curl. The ropes are then bound in
bales, and are ready for the market. The
natural color is brown, but it is often CO.
lored black, and an expert would find it
hard to tell it from curled hair. The
Eureka Hair. Company have large fac
tory in the town of Dutch Flat, and are
filling large orders for beds.

THE GOVERNORS LIFE THREATENED
Yesterday morning at about o'clock an
elderly woman, dressed in black, made her
appearance in the yard of the Governors
mansion, and in violent manner de-
manded to see the Governor, announcing
herself as Margaret Driscoll, the mother
of young Driscoll, killed last November.
When the Governor appeared she showed
him copy of a paper containing the in
formation Of the pardon of Il. G. Wood,
and threatened his life for "freeing =" the
man who had killed her son." She be-
came by turns violent and appealing, and
grew SO vehement that it was found neces-
sary to have her carried off to the station
house. She was afterwards carried before
the Mayor as crazy woman. She dis
played much grief before his Honor, show
ing him the picture of her son, and blam-
ing the Governor for " "freeing the man
who killed so beautiful boy" The
Mayor, in consideration of her grief, told
her to 60, upon promise that she would not
20 to the Governors house again.

laws, was called yesterday morning.
Messrs. Bowden and Chahoon appeared
for the defendants, and Assistant United
States District Attorney Weed for the
prosecution. Mr.. Bowden demurred to
the indictment on the ground that the de-
PENDANTS were accused of violating an en-
post .facto lao. 1t appearing that the act
was alleged to have been committed in
January, 1867, and that the law was passed
in March, 1867, the court sustained the
point made by Mr.. Bowden.
The same parties were then called to
answer second indictment, but by request
of the counsel for the defendants the trial
was postponed until Friday next.

qualified to practice in this court. Ad-
journed until II a. M. to-day.
