FROM THE DAILY or THURSDAY.
MIR. ROBERTS BENEFIT Columbia Hall
was crowded to overlooking last evening, on
occasion of the benefit of Prof Roberts.
The entertainment consisted of vocal and in
strumental music, tableaux, charades and the
laughable farce of "Who's Who," in con.
clusion. While all who participated in the
exercises acquitted themselves very credita
bly, special praise is due Miss Abbott, whose
singing elected loud encore. The tableaux
cleopatra" was likewise specially applauded
Miss Stella Galliher performed difficult solo
on the piano and her brilliant and faultless
execution was greatly admired. Miss Hoff-
likewise appeared to advantage in piano
duct. The audience departed well pleased
with the whole affair, and doubtless MIR. Rob
erts was as we'll pleased with the compliment
of full house as the financial benefit de-
rived from the concert.
THE Victoria Colonist copies from an ex
change the statement that it is believed that
between 80 and 40 persons have survived
from the wreck of the steamship Pacific.
Australian papers also state that three more
of the crew of the James Brine, who were
supposed to have been massacred at Lord
Howe's Island, have been picked up by an
American whaler after being &c days in an
open boat and suffering great privations.
They were afterwards transferred to the mis-
sion schooner Southern Cross. So far as the
asserted rescue of the survivors of the James
Birnie is concerned we cannot dispute the
statement, but it is certainly hoping against
hope to expect that any more survivors from
the Pacific will he rescued.
Mr. Mann has commenced removing his
stock of drugs into the building opposite his
old stand, on the northeast corner of Main
and Fourth Streets. This building has
been repainted, and with the large stock of
Dr. Turner added to his present assortment,
Mr.. Mann may we'll be proud of his facilities
for trade. AS a matter of no little public
interest, we state, that the price of drugs
will not be affected IN the least by the recent
combination.
THIS morning, on the public square two
families with wagons, teams etc., arc en-.
camped. We are informed that they are
from Kansas, that they stayed in the Boise
valley the last winter, and are on their way
to Whatcom, down Sound, where some of
them have relatives. They have good teams
and show an energy in moving along at this
time, that is promise of success to them.
LAST Monday, as the North Pacific was

hands fell overheard. Three boats wen: to
his rescue,-one from the steamer, one from
the revenue cutter, and one from shore. The
man was saved from drowning During the
hurry on board the steamer to lower a boat
John Ross the cook had his right foot badly
crushed.
Having come in like menagerie lion,
March must, in accordance with tradition,
60 out like a lamb. The question arises:
How does lamb 60 out? The only animal
of this sort of which history speaks is the
one that belonged to Mary, and he was
turned out. So March will be turned out,
to celebrate the Centennial year with its ter.
rife bleatings.
