FlGurs ouR ENTIRE POLICE FoRcE.-
About two o'clock this morning the
crowd in Gibson l. Cross saloon, on
Main street, Gold Hill, was suddenly
thrown into q sensational degree Of con-
s~teruation by the apparition Of q real
live antelope, which came stalking in
with its great black eyes glaring wildly
on all around. Whence came this pc
culiar beast and what was his business
al that unseemly hour aud place, no one
could say, but all stood back in aston
ishment. Directly two or three dogs
spied him and made n rush for him.
Tie mado some terrific plunges from side
to side among the crowd, creating o
great commotion. Cross Immediately
called in police force Began, and Or
dered him to arrest the rampant beast.
Billy had a pretty rough time OF II, put
advancing upon him in the shape OF a
hollow square, by II judieious Hank
movement he surrounded and cap
turcd him. At the ~station-honSe
he tried to get him into a CELL
but the belligerent animal snow
ed fight again, aud seizing n'iIy
pauts with his teeth, by the front part,
at one desperate rip tore them eom-
pletsly of. At the neXt pass he ore
his vest, drawers and half his shirt OH,
leaving Billy nothing but his hat, coat
and boots on. Ho got u rope round tue
critters neck ut last, tied him up, ana
got some green clover in order TO pacity
him. Our worthy police force 'wesrs
he'll get sven on the loss OF those nj
,oeu dollar pants and ten dollar vest,
by a big v~enison roast at IL o'clock
this evening, to which he has invited All
his friends, far and near. We are in-
yited and shall be there, sure. On! we
eat something besides horse down here.
4 small slab Of the roast will be sent to
the Horutowners by way of aggrava-
ton. Some people say this is n tame
antelope, strayed away from somebody.
Can't make Began believe 1t, though.
PIpsRs' OrERA Houss.-" Dot" or
the Cricket on the Hearth was again
the feature Of attraction at the Opera
House last evening, and there was an
excellent audience present to witness u.
Mr.. Couldock's " Caleb Plummer is
very acceptable piece ofacting, although
10 our mind the imp%ersonation is rather
inferior to his others that we have seen.
In fact. we do not like Tho piece itself as
well as We did the Chimney Corner"
considering il inferior both in plot and
general effect. "Dot" was very well
and vivaciously p~srsonated by Miss
Couldock, and Miss Lees representation
of uBlind Bertha" was touchingly
rendered and one Of the most pleasing
features Of the play. John Woodlands
rendition Of tho rustical large-hearted
.~sPerrybiugle " was like all other per-
sensations w that gentleman, correct
and good. Fanny Hanks sustained the
awkward and uucouth character OF
"Tilly Slowboy very amusiugly, and
Miss Josephine rs "May Fielding"
Mrs. Robinson AS Mrs. Indigo Field
ing" Thayer as "Ned Plummer," and
Rebinson as " Old Taekleton," each did
well. The Chimney Corner" sue
ceeded by the famous railroad scene,
will DO presented this evening to n
crowded house. Secure seats early.

Vincent, Of London, made quite an in
tsres.ing discovery when here a few
weeks ago. While visiting at the honse
