interest and amusement in some of the
towns and cities north of us, and the pav
pers of cur State capital have much to
say on the subject These matches are
organized in various ways, the most
common we believe, being the one we
have all witnessed at school, Of choosing
sides and having each scholar who
misses to retire until only one rem aims
who is declared the victor
We notice that merchants, bankers
lawyers, doctors, ministers and school
teachers are taking part in these spell

charged, which is devoted to some char

AmputatIon and Death.

Last Sunday Mr.. Louis Aucouturier
was thrown from wagon at the cor
ner of Fourth and Main streets and
fractured leg in two places. He was
Immediately carried to the French
Hospital, from whence he was after
wards moved to the County Hospital,
where he received every attention. A
day or two ago the surgeons deter
mined to amputate the limb, but it
was delayed until yesterday. At the
appointed hour-1l A. M.-Drs. Wise,
Brooke, Kurtz, Orme, Stairway, Nc
Kee and Euphrat were present and
amputation was performed by DR..
Wise, the leg being taken off high up
in the thigh. Every attention was
paid to the unfortunate man, but at 3
P. NJ. he breathed his last. Several
causes contributed to this result, viz:
the patient physically was weak, men,
tally he lacked vitality, and gangrene
had set in. Gangrene was caused by
the sharp edge of the fractured bone
severing an artery, preventing the cir
culation of blood in the extremities,
80 that the lower limb was actually
dead. The deceased was aged 81 years,
and leaves near relatives in France.

And half smile: "Grand olks live here"

And sad: "We'r3 grander far than they!
You're grander far than all the men.
"And am grand us any dame
Who walks in velvet down the street,
For strength and youth and love are minep'-
All! but his answering smile was sweet!
brilliant carriage past us rolled,
A gray-beard sat in IL, alone,
My love said lightly: "There he rides,
A rich man." Yes, and makes his moan:
"For all his wealth that man would give
Ii life were fresh and love were young,
And he could walk, like us, and sing
The song That yesterday we sung!"
My love ceased signing. How we laughed
Aud tossed our darts of harmless fun,
And praised the blueness of the sky,
And praised the glory Of the sun!
We drank draught Of fragrant wine,
We breathed pure, Inspiring air,
Sand why, dear, did you marry mef"
because you're good, and dear, and fair,
Sand why, and why?" Oh, happy hour!
oh, charming street and park and square,
Where we beheld that brightest flower
Which bloomed when Eve was young and
fair!
All, many sober face we met
That looked and questioned: "Who are
these
These plain young people, who forget
The Winters cold, the naked trees9"
Our eyes W re clear and theirs were blind,
They saw not our companions gay,
For Love was smiling close behind,
And JOY danced wildly all the way!

The MERGED Theatre.

This popular place of amusement
has been undergoing repairs for some
time, and when completed will be the
most comfortable and elegant theatre
south of San Francisco. An elegant
balcony encircles the auditorium, from
which the stage is visible at every
point. The seats are comfortable, and
the capacity much enlarged. Mr.. Abb
bott, as caterer to amusement lovers,
has not been unmindful of the safety
of his visitors, but has strengthened
the theatre throughout, and furnished
al easy entrance and safe exit for
spectators. The lighting facilities are
admirably arranged and the ventila-
tion perfect. AS soon as the improve
ments are finished, we hope to see the
building opened by good theatrical
company, with an elegant audience as
patrons.
