"THE HoRRIBLRs."- The Gold
Hill n organization n bearing this
horrible" name, now bids fair to
completely storm and, bring to it.
self all the fun and patriotism Of
this section on the celebrating day
of the nine.y-ninth anniversary Of
Independence. Not. only are the
"Horribles" to have street music,
procession in costume, orators of
the real old spread-eagle, soaring
kind, but now advertise to wind
the days festivities up with grand
BAL MAsouE. For this purpose a
large temporary building is to be
erected as dancing hall; o COM
mittee has been sent to San Fran
cisco to procure costumes, and a
costumer, to attend to the especial
orders Of those who desire to put
on fantastic harness for the occa-
sion. Mrs. Pauline, the costumer,
will arrive some time before the
4th, and will remain until after the
horrible" affair is over, so that all
can indulge their fancy IN the mat
ter of dress. Those who have the
celebration in charge, and those
who are intimately connected with
its success, say that the .5th day of
July, 1875, in Gold Hill, will be
the most prodigious .FETE in the
history of the sage-brush State.
The citizens of Gold Hill, as we'll
as the fantastic organization pro-
polling things, have taken hold
with will, and the celebration is
sure to be all that is said of it. A
committee have been appointed to
manage the ball, and will see that
no improper characters gain admit
lance to the dancing floor. To this
end masked parties being admit
ted to the hall will before enter
ing, be required to remove their
masks before a committee in the
ante-room. People will be plenty
in Gold Hill on Monday, the 9th
day of July. .5 :" 50

THE ENTERTAINMENT AT THE yARIE.
TIES THEATER LAST NIGHT.

The grand variety entertainment given at
the Varieties Theater last night, for the
benefit of the Crescent City Relief Association
and Battery "a" was an immense success
The audience rivalled that usually attendant
upon our complimentary performances, both
ia number and character. Seldom have we
witnessed such generous outpouring, and it
was most hearty expression of kindly feel
ing toward the object of the evenings enter
tainment
Mr.. Geo. Stern gave very effective recita-
ton of "Parrhassius," and was loudly en-.
cored. The farce of the Little Sentinel"
performed by members of the O. d. A.,
assisted by Misses Stroudback and Burton,
was most enjoyable affair. Mr.. G. F. Bucks
reading from "Othelio" seemed TO meet with
the entire approval of the audience, Judging
from the hearty applause bestowed upon him
ct its conclusion. The recitation OF 1.-THE
Wounded Soldier by Mr.. Fred. N. Thayer.
was q most mastery rendition, ard was SO
telling in its effect, that it was by many pro-
nounced the gem Of the evening.
The scholarly reading and the natural and
graceful movement and gesticulation of the
mendstion. The skating, which then fol-
lowed, was very artistic, and met with de-
served tribute of appreciation.
The original drama of the "Soldier's Life"
concluded the performance. It was a very
faithful picture of soldier life, and awakened
