The second couple. with basket and gun,
Went hunting for spiders, one by one.
Into the corners they poket and pried,
There's one III shoot him" the husband
cried.
while his wife exclaimed; When the bas-
lean sen the spiders webs for wool"
But the wisesf couple OF all tho three

I'D on the ladder you ought TO stay.
And I'll carry the club. because, you know.
III have 10 beat you. your tricks to show"
50 the man in the ulster was frozen stiff.
While his wife did nothing but fan and snfn.
The hunter was stung by cr0ss old spider.
As he very imprudently sat down beside her,
And his wife. who was gathering webs for
Used hun 10 make up a basket full.
But the man who learned the bear TO play
Lived on the ladder for many day
He stole the club and he wouldn't come down,
So his poor wife carried him through the
town,
And ali the people said: Lets so

you piece of quartz from ledge just
discovered here by Mr.. S Sherwood, the

has discovered four ledges, varying in
width from to l5 feet. He is confident
that they will prove the richest thing
seen in California for years past. The
lot sent you by me is taken at random
from "A ledge fifteen feet wide. 1t is eight
hundred feet above the river, and is situ-
ated at the head Of Pony creek. Mr. S.

.'-i Scrap ofPaper, Sarlou's masterpiece, was rendered clevcrly at the Prescott Thea t-r last evening, to fashionable, therefore orderly. and full house Each and every one of those who appeared before the foot lights last evening, acquitted themselves with more than ordinary credit. IL Is evil dent that thIs play, from the French, has been mu'ila.ed by translation, and requires the very best of scenery and sctIng to make il what it has gained in all the large cities of the United States, France and England, tse name of being one of the best comedies ever brought on the stage to be criticised by the masses of the new and old world. The stage properties and scenery were very natural and pleasing, the cos tunes of the ladies were remarkably ele- gant, and the acting more than good, cspe- cialiy of those who made their first appear ance before the public.
 We have neither time nor inclination to go on and describe each and every character who took part in the play of "A Scrap of Paper" suffice to say that the play was g success, and to make it such, requires the very best of acting. The orchestra was ex- cellent, the performance pleasing, and the audience went away we'll satisfied with the Prescott amateurs who have worked hard for several days putting themselves in trim, etc, for the purpose of treating their friends in Prescott to an evenings pastime May the amateus come to the front often and be equally as successful as they were last evening, is the wish of the entire community. To the stage manager is due much credit for bringing the theater once more into successful operation, and ws would be tempted to mention the gentle mans name were 1t not for the fact that ws have high regard for his modesty.
