Academy of Music.

The second representation of the splendid
drama "Camillas Husband" served to
strengthen the good opinion we had already
formed of it. A great improvement has
been effected by Fastening the climax, and
dropping the curtain Immediately after the
duel. We are sorry that space forbids our
praising as they deserve the performances
of Mr.. Fitzpatrick as Sir Philip, and Belvil
Ryan as Dogbriar. 1t will be repeated for
the last time tonight, with a new farce.
The third week of the Wyndham Comedy
Company promises to be the most interest
ing OF all. IL will be marked by the produc
ton, Oh Wednesday next, of Tom Taylor's
great sensation comedy of Rocks Ahead"
" hich has been before spoken of and has
been for some time in preparation. The
amusing incidents with which the piece
abound and the life-like presentation Of in
cidents and characters ON steamer during
ii long sea voyage, give rise for innumerable
effects which, though sometimes met with
in life are new to the stage.
The characters are all drawn from life
and the whole piece is like a page from
Dickens or Thackeray personifed and
adapted to stage purposes by the skill of a
practiced dramatist. The cast will be unu-
sually strong, presenting all the members
of Mr.. Wyndham's company, and most of
them in very striking parts. Monday night
the "Lancers " will be given for the last
time, and Tuesday, the charming comedies
Home" and "Rosine." These plays are
presented by sDecial request

Grizzly Bears InconvenientIy Familiar,
From the Los Angels lCall Express, Aug Z

From the Los Angeles (Cal) Express, Aug. 7.
Last Thursday, as James Tweedy, a
stock herder, was sitting astride log
up in the Fort TETON region, eating his
lunch, four large-sized grizzlies came
trotting down the conyon, and one of
them coming quietly up behind him,
hit him on the head, knocking him off
the log, and then hit him severely
through the back of the neck and
shoulder. The young man played dead,
and the bear probably thinking he had
finished him, went off distance, but
to be doubly sure, came back and
smelt around him again and started off.
When the bear had gone distance of
about 80 yards, Tweedy jumped up,
and mounted his horse, which was
standing near by, and rode away. His
injuries are painful but not dangerous.
In the same neighborhood, on the next
day, VIM. Thomas, son OF Judge H B.
Thomas of Los Nietos, was sleeping in
tent, when being uncomfortably dis
turbed by dream or something else.
he got up and looking out saw four
grizzlies coming toward the tent. He
did not stop to receive them, but
mounted his horse and rode away,
leaving them masters of the situation.
The grizzlies are giving stock raisers in
that section good deal of trouble this
season.
