and cheerful place of amusement will re-
open this evening for an engagement OF
three nights and a Saturday matinee by
the famous Mexican Typical Orchestra

all respects. The company is composed oi

dlences 10 enthusiasm. They appear in

FISH ABuHDANT.-Considera surprise
has been manifested recently at the album
dance of fish in the Sacramento. Perch
have not been present in the river in such
great numbers at any previous time fol
nearly twenty years. They are of good
size, ana from their color are presumed Ia
have come from sloughs and lakes. Large
quantities are said to be shipped daily to
San Francisco, and the wholesale price has
been as low as four cents per pound. Carp
and shad are also plentiful in the Sacra-
mento, and the river will probably soon be
full OF them" Pike, chub etc, arc
caught in great numbers daily in the small
nets that line the banks of the river NJ
stream and down. Catfish and mudpouts
are not secured in such quantity as might
be expected from the great number known
to be IN the river but they of course are
enjoying themselves in the mud at the bot
tom. Altogether the indications that the
supply of food fish in the Sacramento is in
cressing are very tiattering.
RETURNED THE MoNEY.-Recently John
T. Carey, on behalf of District Attorney
Buckley, commenced suit in Justice Posts
Court against A ]. Bump to recover the

their January session. voted to him to de-
fend his title 10 ferry and ferry frontage
on the Mokelumne, between TYLER and
Staten Islands, which he had purchased
from the county for the sum of $50. The
District Attorney held that it was not O
proper charge against the county, and that
the Supervisors had no right to make the
appropriation. Yesterday Mr. BUMP. not
considering it worth while to engage an
attorney and contest the matter, owing tc
the Smallness of the amount and the risk
of being beaten when the case came up fol-
trial, paid the money into Court and the
suit was dismissed.
