the mining claim of John Stroud and Tom

and about the same time the sluices in the
claim owned by Williams and Ketchum,

up their fume, after short run, went to
their cabin, got supper, weighed out their
dust, pat ii away and went to bed The
moon was shining almost as bright as day
and about mid night the miners were ava
kened by some noise, aud on looking out of
the window .beheld couple Of Chinamen
standing close to tie cabin. After watch
ing the Celestials awhile some noise was
made 10 the cabin and the outsiders start
ed and run awiy. Thinking the circum-
stance suspicious, one ofthe miners conclu-
ded to sit up in his bunk and watch cut for
the safety of things In a few hours the
sentinel observed Chinaman walk up near
the cabin and stop for some time as though
listening for sounds within. Thinking that
the situation called for action, one of the
boys took ashot gun and the other SHOW
ell, and opening the door made sudden
forward movement in the direction of the
Chinaman who started to run One of the
boys called out to his companion to "shoot, y
when the Chinaman stopped and was cap
iured As he failed to satisfactorily ae-
count for his conduct, his captors proceed
ed to give him a sound whipping, after
which he was told to "sit," and he complied
with the invitation in manner calculated
to increase his reputation as runner.

TIE GRAND FRATERNITY ENTERTAINMENTS -
| The grand entertainment in aid of this noble
Institution will take place next Monday even
ing at the City Hall. The whole affair is in
the right hands and cannot fail of success
The prelimnaries are of such nature as to
disregard the fluctuations of either thermom-
eter or barometer and steadily and surely tend
to climax of gaiety and pleasure, as well as
to fill the purse of this benevolent society.
The darker it is without, the lighter it will be
within; the colder the air the roster the cheeks;
the more it SHOWS the roof the warmer it
will be beneath it, and the more moist the
streets the more guarded will be the tiny feet
in rubbers. Nothing has been left undone to
make this affair the event of the season.
Chambers Quadrille Band has been selected to
furnish delicious music for the happy hundreds
who join in the promenade. or who will whirl,
twirl, and jostle each other on the floor of the
ball room. Bevies of young ladies will be
earnestly sought by gay gallants for the dance
and promenade, while in the galleries will be
seen mothers and fathers with their daughters
and friends, who prefer to watch the gay scene
below them rather than join in its 'shands
across" change partners and "swing cor
ners" excitement.
Those who do not take any interest in dane
ing have not been forgotten Elegant booths
will be erected, one of which will be devoted
exclusively to the sale of bouquets OF all Sizes

ticles and the confectionery table for all those

Jack built" being, we believe, for the first
time exhibited in this city, will be centre of
attrs ction for both old and young. Of course,
while our young gentlemen observe the ''rat,"
"cat," malt" &C., they will keep sharp
lookout for the maiden all forlorn." Pull the
bell and see what Jack keeps inside Charges
for pulling the bell 10 cents. The wheel of
fortune, the moss covered well, elegant in de-
sign and fnish,-having the old-fashioned
sweep, and sold oaken bucket and ''iron-
bound bucket" from which will be dispensed
a glass of iced lemonade to the thirsty ones,
the Gipsey fortune tree with real gipses, the
grab bags and other novelties will no doubt
win hearty support. The Dickens" supper
will come off at 8 P. M.,-the supper in the
reception room from to s P. NJ.
We doubt not but that every one will hugely
enjoy themselves, and not until every dance on
the list has been passed over will the young
gentlemen be satisfied to Ego home with the

The annual sale of the Gorham pianos is
progressing finely at the ware-room under the
Falmouth Hotel The very ready sale which
these really fine instruments have, is not a
matter of surprise to those who have examin-
ed them. The purity, sweetness and volume
of the tone, the exquisite finish, the quality of
the material, and the commendable fidelity,
amounting almost to "super-nicety,' of the
mechanical construction, entitle them to even
a greater reputation than they at present pos
sess. The sale will be continued next week.
