At the Theatre. u

Haverly's New Mastodons exhibited to
full, most appreciatiye and highly critical
house last evening, and from first to last
kept in splendid favor with their audience,
as evidenced by applause after applause,
They are artists, each in his line, and the
vocal and instrumental music rendered
last night was about as perfect
as troupes or individuals could
render Connoisseurs were present and en-
joyed to the full the harmonies that both
the orchestra and members OF the stage fur.
nished. Nearly all the jokes were new and
humorous, and special characteristic was
that they were Of kind to which even the
sensitive ear ola delicate criticism could
take no exception, and besides they were told
with rare facility. The opera selection from
Mascot brought down the house. The
basso baritone and soprano are all finished
vocalists, not only correct in rendition OF
parts, but full of pathos and energy. The
Mail Carriers, Aerial Flights, Corn Cob Fam
lily, the BARRIERS Holiday and the Jockey
club team were all running overwith happy
delineation of character. The banjo sololst
and echo horn Sextettc were inimitable.
Take them all in all and the New, Mastodons
are certainly of the highest order OF
Ministries and cultivated musicians
The troupe here number some As, the or
chestra being part and parcel of them. It
was misfortune that last night the small
stage room would not permit the appear
ance of the full force by some twenty menu
bers; also that the very excellent scenery
that the comany carry with them could
not be used because of the utter inadequacy
of the present theatre. The HERALD cheer
fully and feely cammends to all lovers OF
really fine music, truly respecta-
bic comedy and unexceptionable
wit and humor. There will be matinee
to-day at o'clock, the price being 70 cents
per seat. Another performance tonight,
and packed houses may be expected, after
the manner of last night.

Indian Hunting Grounds.

The Indians are now living ON the fat
of the land in the western part of the
county. Nachez informs us that the
Sink of Humboldt is alive with ducks,
geese, swans, and other edible water
fowl. The Indians spend most of their
time, when not engaged in gambling or
sleeping, hunting these fowls. They
have sixty tule-boats on diilerents parts
of the lake, on which they conceal
themselves and lie motienless until a
flock of ducks, geese or swans come
within short range, when they fire
away with deadly effect, seldom failing
to kill half.dozen ducks, or two or
three geese with one shot.
