Merced Theatre was crowded last
night, as might have been expected
on the occasion of the first production
of "Help." is unfortunate that our
largest hall, the Turn-Verein, is not
sufficiently provided with scenery to
permit the troupe to remain where
they first opened. The Merced is in
sufficient in seating capacity and every
other accommodation for such an au-
dience as assembled last night.
The performance did not abate whit
from its former success. The play
was replete with fun and good humor
and Murphy brought down the house
as usual with his rapid changes in
representations of the of the Irish,
Dutch and negro characters. Tonight
"Help," will again be presented at
the Merced Theatre. We renew our
advice to secure your seats early, if
you wish to see the fun.

SAN FRANCISCO.
Events Of tho Week-The Free.LOvers
Unfuri Their Banner-Other Sensa-
tions-The Grangprs' Bank-Eettcr
fro,n Our Special COrres sEsondent.

The exciting events of the week
opened with the unfurling Of the Free
Love banner from Central Hall by the
Woodruff faction of Spiritualists.
From all that we can learn, the move
ment is conducted by persons so un-
lovable that little danger is appre-
hended, no matter how free the article
may be. Cupid don't take stock in
that kind of humans. Next came the
tearing up of Mr.. Woodward's street
railroad in front of the Grand Hotel.
Over six hundred men were engaged
on this work at one time. Then came
the excitement to the present. Most
of the time the sidewalks on Mont
gomery street in front of the bulletin
boards were crowded with eager peo-
pie, all looking and waiting and read
ing.
The Grangers' Bank will take pos
session of their room, 415 California
street, on the first of the coming week.
The room has been tastefully and APP
prOpriately fitted up for this purpose.
The frescoing and painting represent
grain, fruit and flowers, the ':double
horn of plenty" and the beehive. All
the work is finely executed. We look
upon the establishment of this bank
as the most important step the Gran
gers on this coast have yet taken. No
one can concede the beneficial effects
it must have upon all branches of bus
mess connected with the farmers. The
amount of arduous labor which has
been performed by the officers and
members of the Executive Committee
in connection with this business will
never be fully appreciated, as it will
never be understood. Most of these
men have left their homes at q time
when they were very much needed on
their farms, and have labored day and
night. Surely, they should have the
gratitude of the entire Order on the
coast.
Mr.. Baxter, State Secretary, returned
from a trip to the Eastern States on
Thursday evening. He was welcomed
back to his post, as he had been greatly
missed.
A party has just arrived from the
East, bringing a model of fruit dryer
which it is claimed has many points
of superiority over the Alden process.
Had L time and space, would give
your readers description of the model
but must leave that for some future
time. j. f. +.

One of our city seedsmen brought
to our office, says the San Francisco
Rurdt Press, samples of the largest
gooseberries that it has ever been our
fortune to see. They were grown by a
gentlemen of Bolinas, Marin county,
in close proximity to Bolinas Bay.
They are from the standard English
gooseberry stock, and have been cul-
tivated up to their present size by the
producer, whose name we are not
at present permitted to give. They
are said to have never suffered from
mildew, blight which has done
much toward discouraging the cultva-
tion of this old-time fruit. Possibly
their proximity to the bay may save
them from mildew by imbbing
needed saline property from the soil
and atmosphere. None of the berries
presented to us were fully ripe; but q
few were sufficiently so to enable us
to test their eating merits, which are
quite satisfactory. This fruit should
be widely disseminated, as it would be
a decided acquisition to our market.

Last Friday at Moore's Flat, the
men working in Henry Hays claim
came across a big boulder which
weighed some 800 or 400 pounds. In
order to get it out of the way little
breaking was required, and sledge
hammers were brought into requisi-
ton. The boulder was broken and
some Of the pieces sent down the
tlume. Just as the main part of it
was about to be shipped off by water
the glitter in it caught the eye of one
of the wOrkmen. The fragment of the
bowlder was examined and gold was
found. Tits estimated that what was
left of the bowlder contained $500
worth of gold. The Moores Flat min
ers now examine powders more care
