HOME AMUsEMENT.-Perha no town
of its size in the State of California has
so little to amuse its people as our own
little village-Weaverville. We scarcely
ever glance at the local columns of any
of our State exchanges but what we find
some home amusement mentioned. "The
Amateur Minstrels of Colusa," says the
SIN, "gave an entertainment last week,
which was highly appreciated" " One
of the most pleasing and generally credit
able entertainments of the kind ever wit
messed in Eureka" says the Vest Coast
Signal, twas the exhibition given by the
pupils of Christ Church Sunday School,
on Wednesday evening of last week."
"a grand mask ball will soon take place."
says the Yreka Journal. "a Grand
Sheet and Pillow-case Party" is adver
tised in the Shasta Courier, for March
4th, at Redding. The Courier of last
week also gives an account of the "Shasta
Harmonic Club" which by series Of
entainments given within the past fifteen
months, has raised the necessary funds
and purchased brick building and fitted
It up as school-house for the benefit Of
the rising generation, and the Courier re-
fers to it as one of the best public school
edifces in this upper country" So we
might proceed with our exchanges and
find some local amusement of this kind
noted in nearly every one Of them. With
ask, Why is it that Weaverville is SO far
behind other towns in this State, which
have no better chances for amusement
than we have? There is no reason other
than the fact that our people don't try to
amuse themselves or anybody else. Tray
cling shows come here and carry hund-
reds of dollars out of the county annual
ly. We met Frank Wilton at Redding
last August, after his first trip to this
county that season, and he said he had
cleared over sic huadred dollars in Trim
six or eight persons, male and female, in
this town were to form an association for
the purpose of giving occasional eXhibi-
tions, that they could get up entertain
ments which would please our people
equally as we'll as those given by tray
cling troupes, and the many dollars that
are now taken elsewhere by strolling
players might be kept at homo and de-
voted to some public and charitable pur-
pose as is the case in Shasta and other
towns. We have a good Town Hall, our
people are all generous patrons Of amuse-
ments, and there is here plenty Of musi-
cal and other talent which would soon
make itself manifest if opportunity was
afforded. "What is everybody's bust
ness is nobody's business" is true,
although a trite, saying. Everything
must have head to plan as we'll as to
execute, and an association Of few
public-spirited persons would be just the
thing in community like this.
We are all familiar with the subscrip-
tion paper circulated when distress is to
be relieved. How much better it would
be if an entertainment could be given for
the benefit of the "man who had his leg
broken in mining claim" or "the wild
ow and orphans who are left destitute"
or " the person who is sick or disabled
and desires to go to friends or assistance
at distance and has not the means. -
This is a practical idea and one which
will surely become popular if acted upon.
