MUs1cA1.-Don't forget to attend
the free lecture on vocal music to-
night at Whites Hall, by Mr.. John
son, who having had ten years ex-
perience in teaching, cannot fail to
interest all.
CHICKEN THIEvEs.-Several COM
plants have come to us from the
northern part of town, complaining
of the disappearance of many chick
ems from the coops of various of our
citizens in that part of the. city.
OUR PUBLIC ScHoLs.-The teach
ers of our public schools have been
notified to commence their fall ses-
sion on the first Monday of Septem-
ber. So far, our school directors
have not assigned to the various
schools the various teachers for the
ensuing year.
IT will be q matter of interest to
those concerned, to know that sew
eral parties intend to spend Sunday
as holiday in fishing and hunting
upon the waters of the Sound. OF
the parties that start away to-mor-
row doubtless many of our readers
will add them selves to the number.
HEREAFTER, in addition to the low
rates at which I am selling goods,
for the next two weeks I will take
silver at par and allow premiums for
gold on all sums over $40. Bring
along your twenties and get them
changed. This also is the last call
I shall make upon parties owing me-
After Monday they will be waited
upon by collector.
w. G. JAMESON.
Matchmaker and Jeweller.
The MINsTRELs.-The San Fran
cisco Minstrel Troupe gave their
first entertainment last evening. A
fine house greeted their appearance,
and the fine dancing of Williams
and Christy, together with their
songs, brought down the house. Al
together the whole programme was
so finely carried out, that we have
no hesitation in recommending them
to the public patronage. We un-
derstand that they will occupy the
Pavilion for the next seven days.

The Republicans held their pri-
mary for the election of Delegates
to the County Convention this after
noon. Considerable discussion was
aroused by the nominating of Mr..
L. B. Andrews as a republican
delegate. Mr.. Andrews showed his
credentials inthe shape of badge
which certified to his being mem
ber of the convention that nomina-
ted Hayes and Wheeler for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the
United States. A motion to proceed
to nominate precinct officers was
defeated. On account of the late
ness Of the adjournment of the con-
