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. By a notice in another column it will be seen that a chance is offered for work upon the Nevada Hose Company’s house, as per Specifications te be seen at the store of W.

Following the course . mercial language, plain English—but I had _was more than a match for me—for, in his Hertmnpiny Rorforbm ads . Professor Herrmann gave a performance in this city last evening::-‘ He is one of the}: most accomplished as well as most expert writing of'him fypm Grasy Valley, says he is an excellent~ linguist and adds: “I addressed, him firat in French and found that he not only spoke it to perfection, but had the real Pafisian acdent.

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 and accessible, while his remarkably jovial disposition enables one to feel perfeetly at tricks are not confined to the stage: Atall hours of the day he cin be seen with groups of genilemen‘around him, whom he keeps. in a perpetual roar of laughter antl bewil) dered states of mind with his numerous -puuzles-and_tricks. Now--he--will cause a 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.
