BRowN's THEATER. GRAND OHENrSG.-
This new place Of amusement was
opened last evening to a crowded house;
the occasion being the introduction of
Miss sallie Hinckley and Pierpoint
Thayer to the notice Of our citizens.
The elegent comedy Of "Pygmalion and
Galatea" was presented in nnexceptional
style. 1t is so far above what we have
been used to seeing in Phoebe, that We
acknowledge our inability TO do full jus.
tice to it. 1t is most excellent drama,
full of interest and replete with happy
points and brilliant language. Miss SAL
lie Hinckley was..most warmly welcomed
and she most ably sustained the difficult
role Of Galatea. She brought out with
startling earnestness the many lights and
shades Of this grand character, and made
the picture glow with life. Her scene
with Pygmalion, after having been brought
to life, was an exquisite piece of acting.
and gave evidence of the highest order
OF talent. Her reading of the classical
language of the author was without
blemish. She is, in short, brilliant
actress, aud We hail it as a fortunate era
in the history of the drama of Phoebe,
that We are permitted to witness her i'm
personation for n season, though it be
but briei. She was ably supported by
Mr.. Thayer as Pygmalion. Mr. Thayer
is an "old-timer." We remember him
twelve years ago in San Francisco play
ing at Maguire's Opera House, and more
recently in Virginia city. We extend to
him cordial welcome. The same piece
will be given tonight. Tomorrow the
Romance of Poor Young Man"
WOULD TAKE HnI HOME. we were
going homeward on Sunday morning at
about 2 o'clock, we came upon couple
OF drunken men, one Of whom insisted
strongly on taking the other home. One
protested that no man in this town could
take him home, and the other with
equal force asserted that he could take
him or any other man in this town home.
They struggled and wrestled up the hill
on Meadow Valley street, and then
rolled down again about dozen times
Then they tried rolling up the hill; but
that plan wouldn't do, as for every foot
they rolled up. they tumbled down about
two feet. They didu't seem to be at all
angry, but we heard the tearing OF
clothing, and good many good-natured
cusses against any man that would do
such and such thing, without any NAL
ediction, by either Of them on the par
ticular man with whom he was strug-
Cling. We finally left these heroes to
to fight out the battle alone, and next |
morning all that remained to tell OF the
fray was a long strip of somebody's

GONE BACK TO CALIFoRNIA.-Yester-
day Michael Hunt, for many months an
inmate of the County Hospital, started
back to California. An interest attaches
to this man in consequence of his hav-
ing been one OF Stevensons regiment.
He has long been suffering from heart
disease. and is liable to die at any hour.
Through generosity he has been pro-
vided with means to take him to the
land Of fruits and howers-tLe state
which he and his comrades planted on
the shores OF the Pacific. May his de-
clinipg years be as peaceful as his pre-
vious life has been eventful.
DELIGHTFUL. - There seems to be
something innate in man that causes
him to growl about the weather, OF what
ever sort it may be. Generally speaking
too, we have reason to complain, either
of the heat or of the cold, of the dust or
of the rain, OF the wind, Of the snow, or
some other cause. But. lately, we have
been having such delightful weather that
even the confirmed growler could hardly
