NAL, when appears 10 DC u Cross oe-
tween a cinnamon bear, ground hog,
porcuplne. and Chinese pig. Morrison
says that he Is a vegetarian. He Is
certainly a ferocious looking animal,
his teeth being over an Inch In length.
He Is open to fight with any terrier In
that city. He can be seeL at Rox's
saloon, on C street. The party on
their return stopped over night at an
obscure watering place called Soda
Springs. Owing to the fact that they
were attired In coarse looking noun
taineer gaIb, they were treated quite
shabbIly by a backwoods iun.keeper,
who, it seems, does not have . very
good idea Of the social equality Of
American citizens, having todled all
his lie to the aristocracy. We learn
that the p%rospectors found excellent
indications OF large gold fields along
the middle fork Of the American Riv-
or. They expect to return shortly,
and resume working operations. They
were very enthusiastic In their praises
of the magnificent scenery to be wit
messed in the Sierras; those mountains
upon whose SUBMITS the eternal SHOWS
OF winter lie the towering pines be-
meath whose friendly shade the bear
and the deer repose ; rivers, In whose
crystal tides the sPeclled trout disport
themselves. The whole forming COM
bination of majestic and sublime scen-
cry, to which the pencil OF a Bierstadt
or the pen of a Byron could alone do
justice.
AQUATIC SroRTs.-An evening or
two ago, we we're reminded Of our
childhood days, when We lived in a
land where copious showers Of rain
In summer time were wont to refresh
the parched earth, and the young lads
returning from school used to roll up
their trowsers' legs to..their knees, and
wade with immense delight In the
torrents Of water flowing along the
road side. From the age OF six to
fourteen we seemed to be possessed OF
an a%mphibious nature, for we distinct
ly remember that in summer time we
were never satisfied with going In
bathing less than twenty times q day.
These Juvenile aquatic sports were
| called to mind AZ we passed along
over the Divide and saw a little bare
legged fellow wading in a flume lead
ing from a reservoir situated on the
hill side near the lmperlal-Emplre
Works. The youngster seemed to enjoy
greatly the dashing Of the water
against his knees. The boys little
sister was toddling along by his side'
no doubt wishing that she were a boy,
too. Some Of the boys In Virginia
and Gold Hill, we are informed, are
In the habit of bathing In the reser-
voirs which supply the two places with
water for family use. We are not pre-
pared to state that the quality OF the
water Is improved by these ablutlon-
airy performances.
DANCING PosTPoNEp.-By reason OF
the recent fatal disaster in the Gold
Hill mines, we are requested to an
nounce that the commencement party
of the series Of terpsichorean socials
to be given BY the Occidental Club, at
Miners Union Hall, Gold Hill, under
the instructive direction Of Professor

ment accords with the wishes OF ah
members of the Club. and Is 10Th ap-
propriate and advantageous. Mean
while all DESTROYS Of subscribing to
this very pleasurable series Of parties,
can do so by attending the first one,
Oh Friday evening OF uext week.

A CHILD Lesr AND FoUND.-This
