A TIMELY REBUKE.-Last evening
a young man was driving a span of
mustangs, OF Monroe street. The an.
imals, which were not much larger
than jack-rabbits and appeared as if
they had never in their lives looked a
grain of barley in the face, were hitched
to a wagon on which was a load of
wood much too heavy for such light
animals. On coming to a
little rise in the road, which was also
slippery from having become wet, the
overtasked brutes were unable to pull
the load and stopped from sheer ex-
haustion, when the driver seized a
pick and was about to strike one OF the
horses with the flat of the blade of it.
A gentleman standing near, observing
the drivers action, cried out to him to
desist, and then proceeded to read the
young man a lecture on cruelty to an
imals. He told him there was a law
against cruelty to dumb brutes, and
If he attempted to strike his horses
with a pick, or any similar implement,
he would surely cause his arrest.
Said he: These are Gods horses, not
yours, and / will not allow you to
them. If you want help | will
help you with your load, but you shall
not strike your animals in a cruel
manner. The driver muttered some
thing unintelligible to us, but did not
again offer to strike his horses, and
the animals, having had a breathing
spell, exerted all their strength and
pulled the wagon over the difficult
place. The gentleman who so timely
interpoSed on behalf of the poor,
dumb brutes should be awarded a
medal by the S. +. r. p. o. G. r. A.
To BE CoNTINUED.-Like a story in
the New York Ledger, the Catholic
Church Fair is to be continued, and
we are sure the news that such is the
case will be welcome to all who are
fond of fun and. frolic. Tomorrow
night being the occasion of the He
brew ball, the fair will take a recess,
but will re open on Thursday night and
be continued on Friday and Saturday

the largest of any night OF the fair. and
at the time of our visit a large n Der
of ladies and gentlemen were present
and furious. The general verdict Of
those who have attended this fair thus
far is that it furnishes the "mostest
fun for the leastest money as never
was SEEM"
THE HEBREW BALL.-The first an.
nual ball of the Hebrew congregation
of Eureka will take place at Bigelow's
Hall tonight. A large number of
tickets have been sold, which gives an
OF a numerous attendance,
and the management have made ex-
tensive preparations to cur to their
guests a full enjoyment Of the pleasures
of the social dance. The best procur-
able music will be on hand, and moth
ing will be left undone that ought to be
done to make the affair pass off pleas
antly to all who attend. The ladies
have gotten up and will serve to the
guests of the ball an elegant supper,
in which will be included every lux.
ury afforded by the Eureka market
suitable for the table Of a ball supper.
UNPATRIoTIC.--A down. at-the. heel
politician stood on the sidewalk on
Main street, last evening, and thus adj
dressed,,an awning post: "Are patriot
isim fled from this here land and are
we drifting lords a monarky. 1t
must be so, for this are the most un-
patriotic campaign I've seed yit; |
haven't bin ask't t. drink by a single
dog. goned candidate sence the cam
paign opened. Whittier are we drift
in, anyhow"
THE BALL AT PINTo.-We made a
mistake in announcing the ball to be
given by G. f. Sampson, at Pinto, as
coming off on the evening of the 18th.
1t will take place on the evening Of merit
Flldoy, the 18th, when elaborate ar
rangements have been made for the
accommodation and entertainment of
the large number of persons who will
be in attendance.
PERsoNAL.-Major Joe Evans, trav-
cling agent of the San Francisco liquor
house of More, Reynolds & Co., is
shedding the light ofhis genial counte-
nance on the denizens OF the Base
Range. 1t sufficeth to say that Joseph
is as good a man as his namesake OF
old, and fully as virtuous.
