Del Franchi, could not we'll DC eS-
| celled, and the leading characters were
all fairly SUI tanned. Tho desperate
| duel or sword combat between Hardie
as Fabian Del Franchi," and Cour-
taine as "Chateau Renaud," was ad-
mirably and satisfactorily given. One
great fault in the rendition Of the play
was much unnecessary draS-too many
tiresome waits. Stage manager Hardie
should stir up some of those slowest In
his company somewhat, as well as
make 4 little better time himself.
The Corsican Brothers will be repeated
tonight, and the fine Irish drama Of
The Irish Tutor will be produced, in
which both the Nathan Sisters will ap-
pear. They will also dance a double
Irish jig in the interlude.
Il. B. WINsroN.-We are Informed
that our item of yesterday relative to
the ~above-named gentleman reflected
rather more severely upon him than
the circumstances Of the case warrant;
that Mr.. Winston has always been n
of the most orderly, and respectable
citizens of Carson; that he never has
been in the habit Of carrying a pistol;
that his difficulty with Moore was i'll
duced BY Moore's assault upon his
(Winston's) little son the evening be-
fore; that the fatal shooting of Sher-
wood OH this occasion was purely acct
dental, and no II regrets 1t so much
as Winston himself. Winston says he
was also a good friend Of Moore's, but
when he sought an explanation next
day of the reason why he kicked his
little boy, Moore spoke deflantly, and
in a moment of passion Winston
struck him in the face with his fist.
Thinking Moore was about to draw a
pistol, Winston drew his and struck at
him with it. Sherwood interfered, and
catching tho pistol, drew it down In
such n manner that when it accident
ally went of the ball took effect In
Sherwood's thigh, with the sad result
already described. We are also in
formed that the case is brought before
the Grand Jury at the instance Of MIR.
Winston himself, which certainly Is
creditable and proper action on his
part. We have no leSire to prejudice
the case In the least, n way Of the
other, therefore willingly publish these
statements. We have no doubt the
Grand Jury will fairly investigate the
matter, and If Winston Is blameless,
acquit him accordingly.
GEN. A. This truly
benevolent gentleman, and excellent
and correct business man, whose genial
presence at the steamboat landing, OPP
posite X street, Sacramento, Is, and
has been for the last sixteen years, rs
familiar to the travelling public as the
most familiar landmark, watermark,
or rs the Sacramento river itself, has
been very wisely retained as the head
manager of the steamboat department

proprietors of the Skating Rink in
Miners Union Hall, on B street, Vir-

In developing the muscles, nerves and
