To-morrow night Nellie Boyd and her dramatic company will open at Nevada Theatre in the comedy of ‘Solomon Isaacs. The engagement ig to continue during the entire week and a varied round of popular plays will be produced. The Company recently played the best part of two weeks at Sacramento, ‘and the RecordUnion critic said of it: “They’ have been playing to good houses all week, and have pleased their andience on every occasion. The play last night was undoubtedly the best of the engagement, and Miss Boyd, as Lucretia Borgia, and Mr. Roberts as Gennaro, did some acting that was equal to the best efforts of any of the dramatic profession, Their support.was good. This is the best stock company that has appeared in this city for months, and as they play at popular prices all can afford to attend. The orchestra is expeeially fine,” Facing the Lion in Its Den. Last Sunday night Mr. Ewing, the Methodist preacher at Truckee, talked about gambling. The Republican says: “The discourse was a most excellent one, and was received with an unanimous feeling of appreval.” Gambling ef all kinds is carred on as openly in Truckee as the selling of clothing and printing of newspapers is in Nevada City. Some Prominent and respected citizens there are said to frequently buck the tiger, and we imagine that the parson’s remarks, although the Republican says he “‘talked plain,” from Mann, Urmy, and other Metbodist preachers who have been located in.this godly city, when they were engaged in charging on the battlements of Satan.

The Public School Children of Grass Valley Observe Donation Day. : Friday was donation day in Grass Valley schools, and the Union says : Many of the older boys: darried one or more sticks of cordwood, while the smaller ones would carry stoveweod, oneor more pieces,-in their arms or baskets, or in small wagons and wheelbarrows, and the potato Offerings wére all the way from a single one to @ sackfull, and. they were not small potatoes either, for with youthful generosity they seemed to havé selected the largest they could find. The girls generally had their packages of wood and potatoes carefully and neatly wrapped wp, and that all enjoyed the occasion was shown by the many cheery exclamations and the laughing faces that were to be heard and seen. There were many amusing scenes that caused shouts of langhter among the pupils as some one of them would Vexhibit a hun:oro: s'mode of bringing or iting his gift: Some of the folks caught the infection, and/more than one staid citizen jeined the throng loaded down with -wood and potatoes, and these were certain to be received with applause by the boys. The charitable spirit was even evinced by. the babies, as two little ones, able to walk but not talk, followed the scholars into Miss Dooin’s school room each carrying a piece of wood as they had seen the others deing. The Tidings estimates that the contributions aggregated 20 sacks of potatoes and 19 cords of stove wood, a of the best quality. ne a The Crystal Lake Tax. The Auburn Hetald of yes/erday says of the collection of Crystal Lake quarry: ‘‘The property, we. under” stand, is not assessed in this county, and only such of the laborers as_reside permanently in Placer were called on hy the placer officials for poll taxes. Bome of the men working at Crystal Lake have homes and famifies at Penryo or Rocklin in .this county, and they of course were called on for taxes by our oificials, and they, when misfortune overtakes them, are taken into our hospital without complaint, as for instance the case of Muldoon who was crushed in the quarry not long ago and brought here, because his home and family are at Penryn in this county, If the Nevada counnty assessment roll don’t include the Crystal Lake quarries, then the officers of that county have not done their duty,ard that is all there is about it.” It is absurd to say that the Assessor of Placer county has not cullected taxes there belonging to Nevada county.

The time to bring suit of foreclosure for the balances due occurs this week, but we hope that in the meantime some satisfactory arrangement can be made so as to render this proceeding unnecessary, eee The Debating Club. The only business transacted by the Debating Club Friday evening was the appointment of a committee consisting of J. E. Carr, J. G. O’Neil and G. L, Hughes to prepare resolutions of respect in memory of James D, White, who was up to the time of his death one of the most prominent.members, The Club then adjourned till next Friday evening, when the aubject for discussion will be, ‘Resolved, That the text-books bow in use in the public schools of this county should be retained for four years longer.” Teachers and members of the county and city Boards of Education are especially invited tobe present and hear the arguments. ; ek ee Music That Hath Charms.
