Fhe Daily Transcript,
_MEVADA CITY, CALIFORMIA.
‘Wednesday, Dec. 24th, 1879
Tie Literary Associat fon.
There was a good-sized and very
tutelliyent’ audience of. ladies and
gentlemen at the Baptist church
Mohday evening. The musical and
literary programme was one of unusual merit. Me. F.Elser’s clarionet
_solo aul Ma. Dy Selim’s song each
reveived au encore; ‘Master Robert
Organ ‘delivered .a humorous recitatidn, and there were two quartettes.
--one by Missés Annie Naffziger and
N: Kimball;, Prof.’ Halleckand: Mr, .
Webber; the other by Messrs: Brown,
Halleck; Weber ant’ Selim-—and
th3y were rendered in a finished
manner. The leading feature of ‘the
entertainment was the lecture entiiled‘‘Somersaults: of Enrotion”by Mr.
J. Albert Wilson’of, New York. He
began by’ thanking his large and
erttical audiences beforehand for their
kind attention, as he feared when he
got thneugh there might not be many
of them’there. He defined physical,
mental and emotional somersaults,
and classified human“emotion under
three emotional signals—humor, s8atire, pathos, Hethen procéeded by
means of mahy quaint anecdates
from his own experience and . observations’ in. .‘different parts ‘of the
world, to illustrate these various
phases of emotion. ’ The lecture lasted about one hotr; and’for the whole
of that’ timd’ he’ held. his audience
in'rapt attensieni!: At every dozen
setitences a ripple of laughter would
begin at one end of the church, and
flow in waves of merriment, until it}
ended in a roar ‘at the other end.
Gtay-headed nen were convulsed
with langhter, and mothers and
mbidens vied with each other in
cachination. Yet the lecture was
not all humor. There were very
many passages replete with deep,
thought, and every illustration, had
its moral. As a humorist, ,Mr. Wilson will compare faverably with the
best in America;.as.an orator he has
few superiors. ~
a to —
Amateur Dramatic Society.
\ anand are being made to
organize an amateur dramatic society
in this city as soon as the excitement attendant on the Holidays has
quieted. A number of ladies and
géntlemeh who possess the talents
nécessary to render the parts that
may be assigned .them have already
signified a. willingness to join the as’ sdeiation).and there are doubtless a
nitmber of others who. will also extend their aid. Such plays as ‘‘Undér the Gaslight,” Streets of New
York,” “Struck Oil,” ‘‘Woodcock’s
Little Game,” ete., will probably be
chosen for presentation, in case sufficent® encouragement is met with.
Entirely new scenery willbe painted, .
and the general manageinent will be
in the hands of an experienced and
competent party. The proceeds of
the entertainmentaavall be devoted
te worthy.ch ritable objects.
Skipments of Gold.
Last week the Citizens: Bank purchased in smalllots and shippea to
the’ Bay the sum of $5,200. This
was all'taken out by parties engaged
in’ quartz and gravel mining on a limited scale. Add to it the amounts
purchased from ‘similar sources by
other bankeré ant cindividuals, besides the yield of'tlle' ten or twelve
big mines inthe locality, and it will
be seen that Nevada City. district
puts many thousand dollars’ worth,
of gold into circulation every week.

The Ironclad mine at Rough*-and
Ready is in ‘a ~ prospetous. shape.
Another boily ef oot bre has rycently been developed, and contrary to
tlie expectations of many the deposits of gold-bearing rock are improving steadily in extent and signs of
pérmanency, The new mill and
rdduction mathinery connected,
therewith will start next Thursday,
afid the opening ni ofthe mine will
be pushed ahead as rtjidty as. possibie from that tinte forth. é
