In San Francisco yesterday cherries
We're very plentiful, the receipts being the
largest of the season. The supply of straw
berries is light and the demand is equally so.
Currants still come in freely, but fair
quantity goes to canneries. Peaches are in
better supply az lower rates. The arrival Of
another cargo of Tahiti oranges yesterday
was opportune, as the native variety IS rather
scarce. Following are jobbing quotations

AMBITIOUS TO BE AN ACTREss.-On Satur-
day last a young girl of this city about 16
years of age got infatuated with the idea of
taking to the stage and becoming an actress,
and, without word OF int;mation to her
parents as to her intention, or to any one ex-
cept lady friend whom she tried to persuade
to take the same course, stole away quietly
from her home and disappeared. Her parents
soon missed her, but she having always been
Of Quiet and correct predisposition, no thought
was entertained as to the actual purpose OF
her going away. The mystery having been
reported TO police headquarters, Chief kar-
cher detailed officer Ferrsl to investigate the
matter. He soon found through the young
lady friend Of the missing girl that she had
probably gone to Oakland. He went to that
city and from there to San Francisco, where
careful search was kept up until Monday
forenoon. when he found her in an employ
ment office on kearny street, disheartened
from not having obtained a position play
actress, and seeking employment as a nurse,
when he made himself known to her, and she
was safely and willingly returned to her
parents. She was satisfied to repletion, from
her short experience was sorry she had
caused her parents the painful anxiety, and
was happy to again be restored to her home.
This brief experiment for an ideal and ques-
tionabe position, and being within forty
eight hours brought to the condition OF seek
ing any work she could find to earn for her
something to eat, was bitter and effective
lesson.
BLocKADING STREETs.-The wagon loads
of hay which throng the hay-market space
on the south side of the Plaza every day are
sometimes SO numerous as to nearly blockade
the street Yesterday afternoon when the
alarm Of fire was sounded this locality was SO
filed that Engine No. 2. on Tenth street.
could not get by. and had to go down on
street.. The ordinance does not permit the
entire street 60 be occupied as q hay market,
and much complaint is being made of the
loose manner in which the teams and loads of
hay are scattered over the full width of the
street, instead Of being confined to the north
side, as by ordinance required. Attention to
the subject by the proper authorities would
be appreciated by those effected by it, and
those DESTROYS of selling hay there can be
as well accommodated by being kept within
limits.
THE CADETs.-The Governors Guard,
Cadet Company attached to the First
Artillery Regiment, met at the Pavilion
/ last evening, and had a drill under Adju-
tant Guthrie, and made a very commendable
/ appearance. There were 40 in line, and they
( went through the various movements and
I manual Of arms very well. 1t was expected
/ that the company would be mustered IN last
night. but arrangements for that purpose had
not been perfected and it was postponed
until to morrow night, when muster in will
take place at the Pavilion.
/ GOOD EFFEcT.-Chief of Police KarcheI
states that the good effects of the chain-gang
! and the recent order for all male persons,
hangers on of questionable places and having
/ 70 known occupation or employment to leave
| town, is already very apparent by the large
! decrease in boarders at the station house.
/ Until these were put into operation the mum,
| Der fed at city expense at the city Jail was
! from 20 20 40 per day, and now within SC
brief time it has been reduced to an aver.
/ age of between five and ten per day.
DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT. - Dangerou:
counterfeit 500 national bank bills have
made their appearance IN town, and are 81
finely executed that even the best experts
find great difficulty in detecting the non genu
inc. Ii would be safe to refuse all bills O
that denomination issued by national banks
except by persons who have entire self-conh
dence in being able to detect fraud OF tht
least trace on sight.
