who manifested their appreciation of
the performance by frequent and en-
thusiastic applause. The piece was
handsomely put on the stage, and acted
well throughout. Bella Bird, as Dora
Sunnyside, in the auction scene, in her
sudden transition from the careless and
pieasitre-loving girl, to the earnest, high
souled woman, was an especially fine
piece of acting; while for passionate
power of determination, Carrie Garter,

Mcguire, Lee and Crockwell were excel
lent in their respective parts. The play
was great success, and we regret it is
not to be again repeated. Lizzie Daven-
port as Mrs. Peyton, hadn't much to do,
but did that little well, and Dora Lor-
raine made charming boy and acted the
part beautifully. Since the above was

TREPAsING-JoHN H. LYNCH. The
trepaning operation was performed yes
terday afternoon by Drs. Bergstein,
Philson and Deal upon the head of John
H. Lynch for the purpose of relieving the
compression of the brain. The opera
ton did not occupy exceeding 20 minutes
time, and was very successfully per-
formed. 1t was found necessary to re-
move the greater portion of the frontal
bone (Which had been fractured by the
bullet) to relieve the compression and at
the same time to extract the bullet. The
bullet by which the deadly wound was
made was found to have lodged in the
brain just over the left eye. Immediately
after the operation Mr.. Lynchs con.
seriousness improved, and he expressed
himself as feeling better. The bullet had
entered the opposite side of the head,
but was split, a portion of it lodging be-
tween the two tables of the skull The
first portion Of the bullet was extracted
on Monday last. Notwithstanding the
hopelessness Of his condition, it cannot
fail to be consolatory reflection to his
family and friends to know that he has
received the best possible medical atten-
ton and careful nursing. The case of
Mr.. Lynch has excited great interest in
this community, and his condition is
hourly the subject of inquiry by friends.
Personal. - Day before yesterday
morning, by the Salt Lake stage, NJ,
John A. Dowell and his son Thomas left
for San Francisco by way of Salt Lake
City. He goes to place his son at the
Santa Clara College, one OF the best
institutions of learning ON this coast.
With him went Charles, the young son
of our neighbor, Mrs. Stanton, who is
also going to the Same college, to be alb

ample. We have too many idle boys
among us, who, ii placed under proper
influences, will grow up to be ornaments
to society, but if left to the contaminat-

their parents and friends.
The LATEsr.-In this age OF prosres IS
innovations are constantly being made
upon things as they were when you and
! were boys. Then people used to lead a
horse by the head. but that has been
found not to be the best way of doing
the thing Yesterday team was driven
up Main street, and at the rear end OF
the wagon was a solitary animal of the
equine species. He was made fast to the
wagon, but not with a rope around his
neck or a halter on his head-somethinp
entirely different. Arope was run under
the root of the horses tail, and aftel
being brought forward to his shoulders
it was twisted together and the ends tied
to the wagon. The hitherto fiery steed
was walking along as meekly as sheer
going to the slaughter.
HABEAs CoRpUs.--A divorce case is
now pending in the District Court of this
county by Nancy j. Nansteenberg vs.
Joseph L. Vansteenberg. On yesterday
Joseph f.. sued out writ of habeas cor

the habeas corpus case, and Pitzer & Cor.

involved in the habeas corpus case will
be argued before Judge Fuller to-day,
commencing at 10 o'clock. The case pre-
sents some points of unusual interest.
The parties to the suit live in Bullion.

THOMAS DYER, who broke his leg on
the evening of the 3D., is now in the
County Hospital, and from the looks OF
his injuries it will probably be some
weeks before he can be restored. He is
an Englishman, and came to this county
quite recently from Colorado Territory
