Adams, VINO personated the child, were al
perfect in their roles, and gave the creates
satisfaction to a critical audience. The new
scenery by Voegtlein, the California theater
artist, was refreshing to gaze at, and speak,
we'll for the management of this troupe Ill
bringing it to this distant locality. The per
Torrance was excellent, gave the greatest Sat
action and deserves n more extended and
carefully prepared criticism This evening

An EXPENSIVE VISIT.-On Saturday last n
young man, who occupies responsible
position in this city, went to Virginia on Il
visi'. He is we'll known in that virtuous
own, and no sooner did he make his advent
into it than he was surrounded by number
friends beseeching him to take a drink. One
drink led to another and before the adven-
furious Oaysonte was in Virginia an hour he
was ''prctty well set up, as the expression
soes After travelling in the company of his
friends for several hours, although in a very
breezy condition, he wanted to pull out his
watch to ascertain the time, and to his aston
ishment it was gone-watch and chain, which
se values at $3.50. Drink had the Q feet of
bringing out the noisy and boligerent traits
IN the young man after he discovered his loss,
,nd he accused his friends of the theft This
aoon led to general row, when the Carson
blood got hit in the nose and had a very re
spectacle head built upon him. At this june
cure of the game policeman nabbed the
abused stranger and took him to Jail, where
ne became sober enough to deposit $50 for
his appearance to answer the charges of
drunkenness and disturbing the peace. Ii,
returned yesterday, FORGETTING his bail and
gold watch and chain. 1t is estimated that
our friends visit to Virginia cost him i'll the
neighborhood of 1926.

ALFRED CHARrz.-During visit of the
reporter of the MORNING APrEAL at the State
Prison, on Sunday, he met Alfred Char'z,
who Was sent to that institution for life,
Chsrtz does not desire too much newspaper
aotoriety He prefers to be let alone by re
aorters until they can render him some sig |
nal service He feels as cheerful in his po-
sltion as possible, but it Can be easily noticed |
That he ia very unhappy man, who deeply |
depIores the loss of his liberty and the society |
Of his family.
SWEARING orFDAY.-To9 morrow will be the
lay when old, red-nosed topers and dried up
smokers will obligate themselves to abstain
from their bad habits during the year OF
1879 But on the 2nd instant will be the
lay when they reconsider their rash resolu-
lions, and declare thai they don't count
NaR is frail, you know.
