Don PasquaIe To. Night.

Any man or woman having soul
for music can appreciate an opera.
The vulgar opinion of opera is a dra-
ma Of surprising unreality, sung in
an insane manner, at a pitch some
where between the. bullfrog's croak
and an asthmatic catterwaul, by fan
tastically dressed musical mono mani
acs, but nothing could be further from
the truth. OF course the plot of. Don
Pasquale is not laid in the Centennial
year, so imagine the opera singers ell
egantly attired in the typical wigs,
black wells, embroidered coats, satin
breeches, silk stockings and velvet
d0ublets of past period and acting
out in musical accents, anexciting do
mestic drama, and you have Don Pas
quale as it will be given at Turner
Hall tonight. The music is without
a discord or flaw, the perfection of
melody. Passion, grief and joy are de-
picted in poetic melody, by we'll
voiced, elegantly dressed ladies and
gentlemen. The acting will be above
the average and the singing the best
ever heard in Los Angeles. We feel
confident that the Mines. Franzini and
Reiffarth and Messrs. Nara, Risolute
and Labrunie will be welcomed to-
night at Turn-Verein Hall by a mu-
sic loving audience. The domestic
difficulties of Don Pasguale rendered
in opera is q most attractive enter
tainment. Go early and secure seats at
the hotel Des Prencis, Lewin's book
store or at the rn-Verein Hall.

When we hear of men having 10000
sheep grazing on 10000 acres of land,
we realize at once that property is
unevenly distributed and poor editors
are left out in the cold. We heard
yesterday of a preacher who has for
several years been shepherd of flock
of 10000 sheep, that he has been herd
ing by the still waters, in green pas
lures, quite successfully. We. might
buy few head by borrowing money
of our friends, but it would take about
one hundred years to get flock of
10000, so we leave the sheep question
in disgust.
Mr.. w. F. Kelsey, the distinguished
nurseryman of Oakland, has been
spending few days in this city as the
guest of Mr.. Geo. B. Davis. During
his sojourn he visited different parts
of the valley and was delighted with
the beautiful homes and rich soil
which everywhere met his gaze. Mr..
Kelsey, like many others living in the
vicinity of San Francisco, had no idea
of the richness and extent of Los An
geles valley, and he was greatly as
tonished at the dimensions of our
city and the population of the county.
Mr.. Kelsey has gone home by the
overland route, carrying with him fa-
vorable impressions of Los Angeles
and her people. 8~''a

Los Angeles and Independence Railway.

Mr.. s. A. Tuttle, the Purchasing and
Supply Agent of the Los Angeles and
Independence Railway, yesterday re-
ceived letter from Col. Joseph U.
Crawford, the Chief Engineer of the
road, dated ut New York, April 1lth.
That gentleman was then about to
hold conference with Jay Gould,
President of the Union Pacific Rail-
way, and the Messrs. Jones, Park
and Sidney Dillon. The pros
pect that the Independence Rail-
road will soon form junction
with the Union Pacific is quite prom
ising. Work on the wharf and wharf
houses is being pushed SO as to be
ready for ties and iron by the first Of
July. Enterprise is the characteristic
Of Col. Crawford and all his associates,
and, Los Angeles is fortunate in having
such energetic engineers interested in
her railway prospects.

The San Jose Mercury of Tuesday
states: cit is pretty generally believed
that Vasqaezl body has been taken up
and his head taken off, yet there may
not be in fact any ground for such q
belief. A niece of Vasquez, however,
stated at the county Jail yesterday that
the grave had been disturbed and that
his people had serious misapprehen-
sions that some villains had taken his
head. They had been advised by
friends to have the grave opened in
the presence of the Sheriff, and we are

Weather and Crops.

Although, says the Colusa Sun, we
have had no rain, the situation looks
little more promising than itldid a
fortnight ago. Most of tie Sum mer-
fallow of the county will, it Is now
thought, make grain worth cutting,
and some of it will make a good aver
age crop. Every one has now quit
hoping for rain in time to be of ad-
vantage to the crop, but all hopes for
a continuance of the south wind which
has favored us until yesterday morn
ing, when it was again III the north.
The Summer-fallow on the black and
red land is nearly all looking well,
and great deal on the sandy and al
luvial, but as rule this class of land
will not turn out well. Our inquiries
have been close and searching about
all parts of this county, and we are in
clined to the belief that we will have
over half an average crop If we do not
have too much north wind.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Public Confidence Well Placed.

Although the world has been seeking
specifics for disease for many centuries,
few indeed have been found. Prominent
among these few is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which years ago received the en-
dorsement of the medical profession, and
was hailed by press and public as the great
renovant and preventive of the age. And
with good reason, since to the weakened
stomach it gives strength and to the torpid
liver activity, to the disordered bowels
regularity, and to the shaken nervous sys-
tenn frmness and tone. Under its benig-
nant influence healthful vigor returns to
the debilitated and wasted frame, the fac
cid muscles become compact, the wan as
pect of i'll health is replaced by a look Of
cheertuness, the mind ceases to desmond,
and flesh is developed upon the attenuated
frame. There is no eXaggeration in this
statement. 1t is as true as that the system
is subject to disease. Were proofs reauir-
ed to substantiate the reality of the COM
prehensive effects OF the Bitters, there is
not probably in existence a medicine, in
favor Of which such mass of concurrent
testimony, from the most respectable
Sources, could be adduced. But the eff
cacy OF the nations Alternative and invigor-
ant has been n matter OF universal know
ledge too long to need any such corrobora-
tion. The fact that it has its largest sales
in those portions of the North and South
American Continents, Mexico, and the
West Indies, in which atmospheric influ-
ences prcjudicial to health exists, proves
what confidence is felt in its remedial and
protective virtues. In localities where
ieyers Of an Intermittent type prevail, es-
pecially, it has come to be regarded as an
Indispensable necessity.

among outsiders. At o'clock. on the

ready for the contest and presented a fine
appearance in their uniforms. The Shas-
tas wore red caps, dark blue shirts with

HAY Fork NOTES.-The picnic and
ball given at Hay Fork, on Friday last,
,yos q grand success. Nearly every one
in that part Of the country was present,
as was a large delegation from Douglas
CITY. The picnic was held on the bank
Of the stream, short distance from Mr..
Feenaty's place, and though given by the
Good Tempars, was helped along by the
eotro community. The dance in the
evening was held at Cartor's Hotel, the
partitions of the lower floor OF the main
building having been taken out to give
room for the assembly. A very large
delegation of ladies and children. were
present, and dancing was kept up until
daylight. The only thing lacking to
better enjoyment Of the affair was more
music.
Grain fields are looking woll in the val
ley, the rain Of three weeks ago having
saved some pieces Of wheat which it was
thought would have to be cut for hay.
Considerable wheat has been sown this
year on land which has lain idle for years.
Sanborn has good crop in prospect on
the Carr place, and the Francis brothers,
who own the old "Stanmere Ranch"
have in forty acres which they estimate
will yield over twenty bushels to the acre.
A new suspension bridge has been built
by Mr.. Baylis and others, in readiness for
us2next Winter. The cables on one side
are securely anchored to two large cotton
wool trees, the structure being ten or
twelve feet above the bed Of the creek at
high water. The water at present is low
er in Hay Fork than ever previously
known at this period of the year. The
cost OF the new bridge was about $500.
