In the absence of the Mayor from

an old offender and Jose, an Indian,
were both commended to the kindly
shelter of the calaboose; the former for
ten and the latter for five days.

The pr scouting attorney lacked link
in his chain of evidence, and the case

whom Daniels sold the stolen horse.
John McDonald's restaurant, Com
mercial street, near the depot, has

MERGED Theater was crowded last
night, on the occasion of the amateur
concert for the benefit of the Catholic
Cathedral Fund. All of the singers
acquitted themselves well, and we can
only give our commentator to the
whole performance, without special
mention of any particular part or per-
son.
We understand that Herr Herzog,
quite celebrated painter from Dus-
seldora, Bavaria, has been sketching
some OF the romantic scenery in our
vicinity, and is at present stopping in
this city. He will soon return to his
home, and the world will see the
beauties of our country placed upon
canvass by master hand.
Our Spanish citizens held celebra-
ton in Sonora, Tuesday night, in COM
memoration of the event OF May 5,
1862, when the French were driven
from Mexico. The festivities were
held at the residence Of Se1ora Carmen
Gaxiola, on Toro street. A goodly
number were present, and the affair
passed off most pleasantly. Dancing
was kept up until a late hour.
We would call the attention Of our
readers to the card of the Washington
Restaurant, which appears this MORN
ing. This restaurant, located on Com
mercial street, near the depot, is pre-.
pared to serve meals in first-class style
and on short notice for the travelling
public, and also has liberal accomoda-
lions, with special rates, for regular
boarders.
The rain which felky yesterday was a
welcome visitor in the city. Although
the streets were slightly muddy after
wards, still we have the satisfaction of
knowing that the dust is well laid and
the air freshened. We have heard
various opinions expressed as to the
effect of the rain on farmers crops,
but presume that it will do no injury
to the.growing grain, and may mate
rally assist the growth.of the newly
planted corn.
"The man who is mean enough to
steal 4 sheep" is proverbial. Valen-
tine Roper was mean enough to do 1t,
and last Saturday he was sentenced to
two years in the State Prison therefor.
We would like to read little lecture
on this text to some men whom we
know of, who are mean enough to
steal the sheep but don't do it, and
who ought to be hung for cheating the
State Prison of its due.
