The first part consisted of eight vocal solos and choruses, the most taking of which appeared to be ‘Coney Isand” by Frank “Moran, the, beauti= ful ballad of ‘‘BlueAlsatian Meuntains” by Arthur Cook, and B_nedict’s ‘“Gwine to Climb de’ Golden Stairs.” This part terminated with4~’ a burlesque military scene.

The performance lasted. about two hours, during the whole of which time the curtain did not drop and the stage was not empty for five seconds. The novelties followed one another with great rapidity, although no undue haste was manifested. All encores were answered in an obliging way and there was no cutting of the programme. The troupe is first-class in every respect. There is not an indifferent thing about any part ofthe show. Some of the jokes in the first part had a familiar air to them, but the majority of them were of late origin. Saved by a Drink of Water. . crerearassecuonasinns HIDDEN TREASURES, Though Lost to Sight, to Memory Dear. There are many old-timers from this State over on the Comstock, The Enterprise man isone of them, and that’s what makes him talk thus: It is at this season that the fortyniner begins to talk of spots once known to him in California. Every spring he speaks of these pet places, but they bear particularly on his mind when, as isthe case this season, there has been a great, fall. of snow, and water will be tumbling down every ravine. He probably did not think much about the spot.when he was on the ground—probably did not prospect it at all—but as soon as he was out of reach of it the place began to work in his brain like yeast in a batch of dough, and time, more than distance, adds to the ferment, He can now.see, at a distance of 200 miles and after the lapse of thirty years, that in that certain little nook lies the fortune he-has-always missed securing. He wants to go back there and he always tells you he will go back; not this spring, however; he can’t go this spring, but next, or at least in two or three years, You can’t pick up an old Californian who has not, treasured up in his memory, such a pet place. He dreams of it both by day and by . night, and ofthe two his dreams by night are probably the saner. spot gives him comfort; is his com. fort and stay. While hehas it he still has hope. He can see the place just as he left it, and he is always sure no human feet have measured or human eyes rested upon the ground since he turned his back upon it. The chances are that one in ten of J the ancient miners could go within a mile of the places they dream of, and even though they should reach the very spot the ground -would doubtless be found so torn up and dug over that an angel from the realms ‘above could not recognize it. It is like a page fromthe Arabian Nights:when, three or four old fortyniners, each with his mug of beer before him, start iv to astonish each other with stories of the good things they know of the secret places in the old mining camps of California, Millions on millions are yet resting in these places, and the indication are that their repose wi.lnotbe disturbed, and that their whereabouts will -go down to the grave with the generation who first panned the placers of the Golden State. Teachers’ Meetings at Grass Valley. The Union of yesterday says: The teachers of the Grass Valley School District hold a meeting on the Saturday at the close of each month, in the High School room. Beside the regular business of the meeting, any topics bearing upon the subject of education are discussed, particularly those re’ating to the best methods of instruction and discipline and of securing the best results.in-our public. schools. At the last meeting the Secretary was instructed to extend a standing invitation to all. teachers of public schools in the adjacent school districts of Allison Ranch, French Lead, Union Hill, Nevada’ City, Rou.h and Ready, etc., to all teachers of private schools, to the County Republican: — About 11 o fdlock Monday forenoon the large volume of snow which had accumulated on the north side of the Truckee Lumber Company’s factory stidoff on to a wing about 18x70 feet im size. crushing it like an egg shell.

Blaney to get out a lot of dry. lumber to load a car, and as soon as it was known what had happened, and as Mr. Blaney was not to be found, it was thought that he was under the ruins, Seventy-five men were at once set to work shoveling off the snow and clearing away the debris, but in a few minutes Blaney put in an appearance. It appears that Mr. Blaney, before going to work, had stepped into another part of the building to get a drink. of water, and had scarcely tu ned his back when the slide occurred.

L. A, Upson, traveling agent for the firm of Adams, McNeill & Co., is-in-town recuperating from the effects of a remarkable feat in the pedestrian liae. He gothere Wednesday evening, and came afoot. It is _. not his} usual method of traveling, therefore an explanation is in order. Mr. Upson had started from Grass Valley in a hack, determined to enter this town with a flourish that would surprise the natives and make all other drummers who were already here hide their diminished heads. The plan was an excellent. one, but the climax was not a success, When half a mile out of town, and as the occupant had settled himself into a graceful position preparatory to the triumphal ‘‘eutree,” the hack broke . down. “Mr; -Upson’s friends~ here who saw him trudging into the city valise in hand make believe that they think his dust-stained garments are evidence that he walked all the way over, the hack story being a mere subterfuge. A Colored Man’s History. Jordan Ousley of Grass Valley township is dangerously ill with dropsy. The Tidings gives a bit of hishistory : He was one of the first men that settled in Grass Valley, going there in 1850 with Colonel Ousley from Kentucky, the Colonel being the.owner of Jordan back in that State. The Ousley farm in Kentucky is still celebrated for its beauty and~-wealth. In his young _. days Jordan was‘a-trainer_and—rider of some of the celebrated race horses which. Kentucky has produced. He rode Lexington to victory, more than once, in the presence of admiring and take part in these meetings. The next meeting will be to-morrow, in the High School room, at 10 4. M, Soa The Nevada r. M. The Truckee Republican man has been looking down this way with his mind’s eye, and saya this: ‘‘The contest for the postmastership at Nevada City, waxes hotter and hotter. A number of our citizens -have received letters from the county seat asking them to use their influence with our Congressman to secure the appointment fer the favorite candidate of the writer,. and we have it on very good authority, that a little sharp practice, anda great deal of misrepresentation has been indulged in.

The Appeal says the base ball game at Marysville Tuesday between nine of the Leavitt minstrels and a local nine, resulted in the defeat of the former by a score of 15 to 8. The game was lively, and made much fun. Mr. Stanley, of the minstrels, who personates the dashing belle so cleverly, was struck by the ball and badly lamed. a Mysterious Disappearance. Last Sunday Richard Bennett of Grass Valley left his home on horseack to go to Indian Springs. Tuesday his horse with the saddle still on was found, but no information can .
