last night, Mrs. f. NJ Bates as Parthe-
mia, and Mr.. F. NJ. Bates in the title
role. 1t was u dramatic treat. Mrs.
Bates played Parthenia with exquisite
taste and Mr.. Bates appeared to excel
lent advantage, his by-plsy in the vari-
Gus scenes being particularly good. Mr..
Lindsay as Polydor did we'll AIessrs
| Dunno and Lorraine were also good in
their respective roles. We would sug-
| gest to the management the enlargement
of the dress circle, as many are refused
| seats after eight clock to this portion of
the house. Tonight, by particular re-
quest, the splendid comedy of Caste
will be reproduced. Whoever has seen
Mr.. Bates in Eccles will certainly 60

er regret it if they avail themselves of
this opportunity of witnessing his rendi-
ton of that character Friday night
will be produced the great play of
| Leah Seats can be secured to-day
for Friday night. Saturday there will be
a matinee for families.
DEATH OF LUcIUs S. GRAvEs.-Lucius
S. Graves died, yesterday morning be-
tween and 10 o'clock, at the residence
of Mrs. Stanton, Upper Main street,
very suddenly and unexpectedly to his
friends; but he had himself, we are told,
strong presentiment that he would not
survive. 1t was thought, Just before he
breathed his last, that the disease, pneu-
monia, had taken favorable turn and
that the dangerous crisis was over. Mr..
Graves had been employed by Wells,
Fargo & Co., at this place, since last
September, in the capacity of book
keeper-a position of responsibility
which he filled to the satisfaction of his
employers and the business public-and
he was held in high esteem by the entire
community.
LACK of material cannot be offered as
an excuse for not substantially improv-
ing our streets and crossing. At the head
Of Meadow Valley street, and easily
reached by teams, there are thousands
of tons of waste rock from the Phoebe
mine. 1t is in small pieces and as we'll
adapted to matchmaking as if it had
been broken for that express purpose.
There are other immense piles of waste
rock convent emily near. Five hundred
dollars expended in hauling and dstrib-
uting this rock along the streets and
crossings would give us passable thor
oughfares at all times. And how could
that amount be expended so as to give
greater public satisfaction than in this
way?
WooD thieves will find it to their adj
vantage to hereafter carefully examine
their stolen fuel before putting it into
their stoves. By doing SO they will
likely save us the trouble of inditing,
one Of these days. an interesting item
about dismembered bodies going up to
the clouds with pieces of boards, shin
giles and cast-iron. Considerable pow
der has lately gone into augur-holes
bored into stove-wood.
"CoAsTING" ACCIDENT Last night u
coasting crew, sliding down upper Main
street, came in collision with pedes-
trian with such force as to throw him
considerably bruised but not danger
ously injured. Be careful, boys.
DEFINITELY SErTLED.-A bill passed
the Assembly yesterday afternoon, un
der which, if it becomes law there will
be no further doubt about the liability of
selling agents under the State revenue
law. 1t provides for taxing them per
capita, we suppose.
FROM parties just in from Sheliburn
, we learn that the new quartz mill of the
Tehama company has just been complet-
ed 1t is probable. owing to the season,
that it will not run regularly until spring
opens, it being very difficult to haul ore
to it.
NARROW EscApE.-4 juvenile, sliding
: down hill on his sled last night, came
very near running under a toam OF
: horses. Had he not arrested his sled
I just as he did we might have n tragedy to
record. The horses were high-mettled
