LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Sheet and Pillow-case Party.
The Sheet and Pillow-case Party given by
the Eureka Social Club at Temperance Hail,
“segs. About seventy-five couples, among
them a. number from Bridgeport, Little
shite robe, with a cap and mask of the
same mhaterial—those of the Indies and gendance. So complete was4he disguise that f
few were found. out by. friends, until the
time of unmasking. At the beginning of
the dance the company presented a ghost
like appearance, and for a time the dancers
seemed fo realize the fact, but. this feeling
soon’passed away before the sound of music, and the pleasure was complete. At the
many cases.of mistaken identity were discovered, and more than one gentleman ascertained that the fascinating young lady,
whose graceful-movements under the mask,
had attracted’ him, was one of his owl sex.
The party was soon transformed from a
masquerade into» a pleasant social dress
patty, amd go continued for the remainder
ofthe might, Excellent music, in which
furnished by Messrs. Blum, Muller, English and Carter, andthe calling was done by
Sam. Bliven, who introduced among. the
figures thé’ Shoo-Fly Quadrille. A lunch’
was served by Mrs. Blum, and: enjoyed by
the dancers, Altogether the party was &
success, and the Eurekas, in getting up
‘novel and attractive dances, are entitled to
the appellation of “‘successists.”
Frog Culture. :
We notice a statement.in these words,
of Maine is «prospecting’ infSouth Carolina
for the lease of a large tract of marsh land,
and proposes to cultivate frogs for the
northern market.” Fish culture has attracted some attention in Ca)‘fornia, says
the Grass Valley Union, but frog culture
has not. The frog culture is the superior
business Of the two, both in a money point
of view, and in view of the production of
nutvieious food. A frog is not pretty to
look at, but when properly ¢oo. is
king of all thedainties: Mons. Alexafider,
success should make the Business. a larger
one in this vicinity. It will not get_too
large for profit.
Whavts the Matter.
In times past there has been a great many
complaints made by ladies, not. only those
residing in this vity, but many also from
the country, that they were compelled to
pay outrageous prices for goods. We can
truthfully assure our readers that the fault
could not be charged to our merchants for
the reagon that they all purchased their
goods of San’ Francisco. merchants, who,
owing to high’rents and heavy expenses,
were obliged to ‘tuck it on,” so that, in reality, our merchants were forced to pay high
prices, and'made but little profit. ‘There is
now no cause:to grumble, for A. Goldsmith
Bay-merchants put on, and he is selling
goods at what merchants there charge at
wholesale rates, consequently ‘his store is
the only place in the city where everything
of the latest style can be bought at one hundred per cent. cheaper than heretofore.
TeaCulture. .
A gentleman who has seen tea growing in
the botanical gardens at Rio Janeiro and is
familiar with its habits, informs us that the
soit and climate of Nevadacounty are well .
idapted to its culture, and that in the vicinity of Nevada every family might with ease:
raise sufficient.for use. ‘The yield of a single acre for the fifth year is from 100 to 150
pounds, which is gradually increased until
the tenth year, when the yield is 500 pounds.
The plant may be raised from the seed, and
these once secured, persons who raise their
own, tea may be assured of getting @ genuine article. ‘This they can not be certain of
in the market. We think it would be a
good idea for some of those engaged in horoo to trythe experiment of raising
Chance for Work.

Nevada city some Kanaka, Squaw, Chinaman, or some kind of cannibal who ‘wil!
sor is of Austrian origin, and made his
studies in the ‘Ecole-de Medecine, Paris,
where he left a graduate physician. The
Professor is an ardent admirer of works of
art ahd rare curiosities. He has collected
in his travels upwards of $200,000 worth of
matters—sufficient to form @ museum.
Pagan idols, Egyptian mummies, Chinese
statuaries, all sorts of coins, paintings, &c.
and a thousand and one other curiosities,all
these he has collected: ‘For the past three
days, he hag been visiting the principal
quartz mites of this vicinity, specimens of
which he bought.
Mr. Herrmann is exceedingly sociable

huge sized quartz specimen to disappear in
the twinkling of ah eye—then reproducing
it hy. extracting it from,.one of the bystandev pockets. Again, in partaking of 4
‘{gmile’ he’ll observe that ‘It is not genteel
for gentlemen to carry away the tumbleg,
frém which they have been drinking,’ and,
presto! he fetch out a dozen or more glasses
from his friends’ hats or coat pockets. Some
of his cigar tricks are very ingenious. He
has insured himself many friends in Grass
Valley, and at whose request he will give
another diabolical seance on Saturday next.
