Pos1poSED.-The school ball which was to
have been given at Colfax for the benefit of the

A RUMPUs.-We understand that n crowd of
Rocklin boys, who happened in town last Sat
urday, after bending the elbow few times to
drive OFT the chill from travelling, retired to one
OF our boarding-houses, and kicked up quite a
Shay -mefnl rumpus with the feminine members
OF that establishment. We don't like to enter in
to the particulars of this affair. for fear we
might make mistake. We suppose the boys
had raised the hand and tipped the head back a
httle TOO often and may have made demands or
perhaps taken liberties which were not proper
Tor them to take. There was at all events a

rel. but we suppose somebody wanted to do
something that somebody else didn't want them
to do. Each side probably persisted, until fin

ion as to who should be obeyed, they did that
which Holy Writ forbids them from doing, by
flying to arms We don't suppose much dam.

to be comparatively uninjured. The head she
struck it with has been wrapped in bandagt
