Sacramento, January ), 1884.
The innocence of the above correspondent,
as to the authorship of the communication re.
| ferred to, is vouched for.-EDs
"UNCLE TON TONIGHT" Uncle Toni
Cabin " is perhaps a play which the
American people are better acquainted with
than any other. Those who have read the
great work of Harriet Beecher Stowe, and
have not witnessed its presentation on the
stage, should not fail to go to the theater this
! evening. 1t is by the Jay Rial Combination
and is placed upon the boards in q superior
manner, and the scenes and acting are Of the
most realistic character. The torture of the
| slaves, the cruelty of the masters, the fleeing
| fugitives pursued by bloodhOunds, the selling
at auction of human beiDg7, the death of lit
| tie Eva-al are presented in manner SO
realistic that one imagines the scenes before
him reality and forgets that it is only what
is said to have occurred generation ago.
! This troupe has appeared here before in this
same play, and the public know Of its merit
! The prices are olly 80 and p cents. AS they
i }
| Portable seats should call during the day and
have them reserved for which nothing extra
will be charged.
MORE BURGLARIEs.-That this city, like
other towns at the present time, is full of
| safe-breskers, burglars, garroters and petty
larceny thieves, is evident from the fact that
daily some one ia reported as losing by the
class referred to. Last week several safes
were broken open and robbed, houses entered
and burglsrized, citizens stopped on the street
at night, chicken roosts captured, country
wagons robbed, etc. The last cases heard Of
are che residences of L Williams, corner Of
Tenth and H streets. Fred Birdsall, Ninth
and II, and S. J. Deuel, liza Il street, which
were entered by burglars on Friday night.
In the frat case the thieves entered the sleep
ing apartment Of Mr.. Williams and captured
his psntsloons, in the pockets of which were
$50 in coin. The pants were left in the hall,
but the coin left with the thieves. In the
other two residences the thieves were Giscov-
cred before they had an opportunity to secure
plumber.

time an angel was ever entertained at the
lookup. The reporter interviewed the winged
vsg and found him, like "Pegsssus-in-
Pound, " very much depressed. To the ques-
ton Of the scribe, Billy Patterson was unable
to tell who struck him." as his men,
cry has become defective and he is una
bic to state accurately what occurred years
ago. James Hogan and James Somers, two

FIVE YEARs-Mollie Swaford, who was
sentenced to FIVE years in San Quentin Prison
from Red Bluff last Saturday, was lodged in
the station.house of this city last night, en-
route for her future home. Her crime is a
most heinous one-entcing young girls into
her house for vile purposes. She has three
children in Oregon with their father from
whom she is separated, and not even the
thoughts Of their future prevented her from
being an accessory to a crime that robbed two
virtuous girls of their honor. Her pals are
now undergoing trial, and viii be sentenced
in few days, 1t is great satisfaction TO
note that the Courts are righteously dealing
out the most severe punishment to those who
dare assault the virtue of woman.
