LADIES and gentlemen, Rome was not
built in day, neither can all of the immense
stock of dry goods, millinery goods, etc.,
etc., which Mrs. R. Adams is now receiving,
be sold in a week. There is no necessity for
your crowding into her store so closely as to
be uncomfortable, for fear of being too late.
Do not act SO impatiently. Some one will
be injured, yet, if you do not exercise more
discretion. All cannot be served first. Do
not be alarmed, for the supply is equal to
the demand. Supposing she is selling ladies
and Misses hats, latest styles, nicely trim
med, for six bits and dollar and a quarter !:
What if she is selling ten yards of calico for
dollar, and other goods in proportion >
That affords no excuse whatever for the un-
ladylike manner in which matrons and maids
have been crowding into that establishment
for the past few days, turning everything
topsy turvy in their eagerness to purchase.
After the ladies get out of the way the gen.
tlemen can walk up and get their "water-
fall' neck ties.

REAp1NGs.-The citizens of Mokelumne

at the church, on Tuesday evening next.
With the knowledge which we possess of
the lady's literary attainments. we feel per-
fectly safe in warranting those who attend, a
rare treat. Opportunities of listening to
such an entertainment as will be given on
Tuesday evening are of very unfrequent oc-
eurrence in this place, and our citizens, one
and all, should testify their appreciation of
an attempt to introduce higher order of
amusements than we are accustomed to en-
joying, by literally patronizing Mrs. Hall.
Tickets are only fifty cents.

ESf EEE OF JAMAICA GINGER

This valuable preparation containing in
highly concentrated form all the properties
of the Jamaica Ginger. has become one of the
most popular domestic remedies for all dis
eases of the stomach and digestive organs.
As tonic it will be found invaluable to
all persons recovering from debility whether
produced by fever or otherwise, for whilst
it imparts to the system all the glow and
vigor that can be produced by wine or brau-
dy, it is entirely free from the reactionary ef-
fects that follow the use of spirits of any kind.
1t is also an excellent remedy for females
who suffer from difficult menstruation giving
almost immediate relief to the spasms that so
frequently accompany that period.
1t gives immediate relief to Nausea caused
by riding in railroad car, or by sea-sickness
or other causes.
is also valuable as an external applica-
tlon for GOut, Rheumatism. Neuralgia, etc.

STAGE RoBBERY-SPEEDY CAPTURE OF

STAGE RoBBERY-SPEEDY CAPTURE OF
THE PERPETRAToRs.-Oneo of the boldest and
most daring robberies of which we ever
heard, was committed on Monday morning
last, near town. The particulars of the af-
fair are as follows: The Latrobe stage,
carrying tine mails and Wells, Fargo & Co.'S
treasure, leaves here at 3 o'clock IN the
morning. On Monday last, while the stage
was descending the Big Bar grade, not over
three-fourths of mile from town, two men,
masked, sprang from behind a tree by the
roadside caught the leaders and ordered the
driver to halt. As the order was backed by
n nice double-barreled shotgun, the driver
gracefully acquiesced. The passengers
three white men and Chinaman-were IN
vited to alight, at the same time beng IN
torroed that no harm was Intended them.
The driver was told to unhitch his horses
from the stage, as they were going to olow
omen the strong iron box, belonging 10 the
.express, with powder. Before proceeding
with this operation, however, the robbers at
tempted to break the lock with sledse but
were unable to do So Failing in this they
filed the lock with powder, but from some
cause the explosion failed to produce any
effect. Luckily they used all the powder
they had at the first attempt, and as it failed,
they were obliged to abandon the idea of
opening the box. Venting their i'll fortune
in curses, they event through" the China
man, relieving him of $4O0, in coin and dust.
None OF the other passengers were interfered
he was allowed to escape, and making his
way as speedily as possible back to town, he
informed Constable Matthews of the occur
renee In the meantime the driver was
ordered to hitch up his horses. the passen-
gers resumed their seats and the stage pro-
ceeded. 1t seems that the officers have been
for sometime aware that the robbery was to
take place, and on one occasion a few weeks
since, the stage was guarded as far as the
bridge. One ofthe parties had turned States
evidence previous to the commission of the
crime. Constable Matthews Immediately
proceeded to old Rich Gulch and in less than
three hours after the robbery was committed.
the perpetrators-two apparently inoffensive
woodchoppers named John Benson and
Owen Felix-were arrested and the money
recovered. The men were brought to the
Hill. No complaint was lodged against
Felix. the informer and Benson waived an
examination and was committed to Jail.
Felix has since been arrested by the Sheriff,
whether for the purpose of insuring his ap-
pearance as witness or as a participant in
the crime, we are not informed. Both are
very young men, probably not over % years
of age Wells, Fargo s. Co. have offtrtd a
reward of q, 600 for their arrest and con-
VictiOn.

GIANT PowDER.-We had the pleasure Of
witnessing the terrible effects of this new ex-
plosive agent on Friday last. Some expert
ments made with it by gentleman who is
about to put it to practical use in his mine,
were witnessed by large number of our
citizens. The shoe of stamp, piece OF
solid cast iron weighing perhaps seventy-five
pounds, was laid on the ground and upon it
wns placed s!edge hammer. A small
quantity of the powder. not more than an
ounce, was turneI into the handle-hole of
the s'edge and crowded down lightly with a
stick. The percussion cap which alone
causes the powder to detonate was attached
to piece of fuse and inserted into the hole.
The fuse was ignited and all withdrew to
places of safety. Upon examining the shoe
after the explosion it was found to be liter
ally broken to pieces. 1t seems almost in
credible that so small quantity of powder,
without being confined, could effect such
astounding results; one could scarcely be-
iieve his own eyes. The powder resembles
sawdust in appearance. 1t is combustible
but no explosion is caused by throwing it
into the fire. The advantages claimed for it
over other explosive materials by itsinventor,
are that it is perfectly safe, cheaper and much
more effective. 1t will undoubtedly super
cede ordinary blasting powder in mining
operations.

The ladies of Mokelumne Hill and vicinity
may we'll feel proud of the result of the
Calico party, given under their aus
pices, on the 2nd Of April, for the benefit
of the public school. To say that they did
nobly would but echo the sentiments of the
entire community, and that they labored
earnestly and zeaiously in behalf of the
cause in which their feelings and sympathies
."cre enlisted, the large amount of which the
Board of Trustees gratefully acknowledge
receipt in to- day ; paper, conc usively proves.
j hree hundred and fifteen dollars sum
sufficient to keep the doors of education open
and fr,e to all for nearly three months, were
raised and placed in the proper hands for
disbursement, and to the ladies belongs all
the praise. They originated the idea, ar
ranged all the prcliminaries, and unalded
and unassisted conducted the affair to an
emincntly successful termination. those
who from unselfsh motives labor to pro-
mote the cause of education, are worthy OF
the title of public benefactors. Education Is
the foundation and safeguard of our free in
stitutions and the bulwark Of our liberties
Socially as well as pccuniarily. the ball was
Il magnificent success. All who attended
speak in the highest terms of the admirable
manner in which everything connected with
the party was conducted. and there is no end
to the encomiums bestowed upon the tact,
skill and good taste displayed by the ladies.
Heaven bless them.
