LAY night, was strengthened last night. After
seeing the queer antics in Patchwork, hear
'ng the deIciousiy absurd things, with which
It is filled, and enjoying the music and bust
ness of the piece, it would seem that the non
seusical vein had been thoroughly worked
"ut by the Troubadour4. However, such Is
not the case, for in cross-cuJtmg sinking on
the incline, and opening up new levels, the
Troubadours develop another bonanza in the
Brook extension. Putting aside this lingo of
the mining or exporting snarp-sin9ular how
our business will bctray us--we wish to say that
last evenings entertainment by the Trouba-
dours was fully up to the one Of the previous
evening if anything, more enjoyable. The
Brook is as free from any attempt at argu-
ment, or connection of narrative, as such n
composition should be- A lot of picniccrs,
or merry makers, are assembled, and this is
made the occasion of as much fun, in the form
of ludcrOus situations, splendid singing, etc.
rs can be crowded into the same length of
time The Troubadours, seven in number,
are all good in their respective lines, each
doing her or his share to make the perfor-
nance 60 off smoothly There is no dragging
from the time the curtain goes up till it is
rung down at the close The Troubadours
have played to two splendid houses in Carson,
and have gwen the best of satisfaction.

of sudden deaths aud violent endings as if

their war of races. Let rs have peace,

Mrs E. E. Adams and her sons wish to
assure their friends and neighbors of their
appreciation and gratitude for the sympathy
and demonstrations Of kindness shown them
in their late trying bereavement, and beg to
be pardoned for not attempting the difficult

kind, but hope to have privilege of taking
them by the hand in the near future for more

an item during the past few weeks. We
promise that this oversight shall not occur
again. Well, the artesian bore is now down
three hundred and sixty feet, showing sand at
the bottom, with a small flow of water Owing
to the depth attained, it is found impossible
to work with windlass, consequently whim
is being erected, which will be in working
order in few days. OF this arteslan well we
