On Tuesday through the streets. There is indeed . night last Mr. Barry was saluted with a full house on the occasion of his benefit. The Repentant, Golden Farmer and Mr. and Mrs. White were played admirably, and Barry was himeelf in his best playing style. He is au fait in the “ business” of his parts, and always apt. Last evening was appointed for the benefit of Mr. G. V. Gates, a good actor, and laborious student. He aims high in his profession, and if dilligence and energy can accomplish his object he will attain it. The plays were Othello, and Family Jars. Mr. Waller appeared as Othello, Mr, .Gates as Iago. This attractive bill must have had a full house. To-night is comedy night, and several fine farces are introduced, including the memorable Bombastes Furioso, Taylor as Bombastes, and Anderson as Artaxomines, Barry as Fusbos—a worthy trio they'll make too. We advise visitors to look out for their buttons. To-morrow night they again revert to the drama—on the occascn of Mr. Waller’s benefit, when his master-piece of Hamlet is played, and a piece never acted there called Turn Out. On Monday night they bring out the beautiful play eons. that was played to crowded houses night after night in this city—Mr. Waller as Ingomar, the barbarian, gradually softened by magic love, and Mrs. Waller as the gentle, heroic maiden. The beautiful acting o the two principal characters in the piece cannot be excelled. They speak to the life and bring vividly before the eye the visions of the author. Barry's Polydore, the princely old miser, is itself worth the price of admission to see. The whole play isa luxuriant garden of poetic beauties. Ladies do not loose the opportunity to see this greatest dramatic miracle since Shakspeare. It isa new play, and has commanded the praise of acknowledged judges in England and America.

By the rePgRiopicaLs aNnD Papgrs.—We are indebted to Mr. Mulferd for Harper of June. It is most beautifully illustrated, and opens with the immortal elegy of Gray, with an illustration to each verse. He has also amply supplied us with pictorials and other papers. the case, and that delegates will appear in person and give one day’s hearty work to the state. It is time for thoughtful action, and the delegates from this county to the State convention should be sterling, reliable men, who will ect with discrimination and impartiality. Happily there are no raging cliques in our midst to divide us, and we can all pull harmoniously together to one desired end. Wurie Meetinc.—The Whigs of Ne-~ vada township assembied on Saturday night last at the Court house, and uppointed the following persons as delegates to the County Convention; to be held in this city on the 25th inst. Stanton Buekner, Theo. Miller, J. N. Turner, H. Davis, A. A. Sargent, H. Crandall, J. Hurd, G. Prior, C. W. Hill, Joseph Beard, J. Somers, J. Dickson, L. B. Austin, W. Caldwell, S. Curtis J.

Jesse Moore. It was also resolved that the delegates have power to serve by proxy. James Parricx of San Francisco is well spoken of by the merchants of this county for his large stocks of goods, reasonable terms, and promptness. He advertises in to-day’s Journal a great variety of cigars, tobacco, butter, salt, &c., which traders will do well to notice.

The Sacramento papers give accounts of a shocking murder and attempted suicide in that city on Tuesday last. From the Union we learn that the residents in the rear neighborhood of the Marion Honse on J, Second and Third streets were reused between two and three o’ciock in the morning, by the shrieking of a woman, and proceeding to a small frame building, found the body of a young and handsome woman lying on the floor, with the throat cut from ear to ear, and a ‘heavy gash from the forehead back to the roots of the ear. In one of the front rooms, another man was discovered reeking in blood from a similar wound. The walls of the house were baptised in blood. The house was occupied by Henry E. Stribble and his wife, who were affectionately devoted to each other, and the murderer was the brother of the husband, Joseph Stribble. ~ The pairhad retired to rest in the back part the house, and had fallen asleep. About the hour mentioned Mrs. Strible was awakened by the entrance of a man through the window, and gave the alarm by screaming, but was in an instant after knocked down by the blow of an axe. A-second blow aimed at the husband inflicted a similar wound, but by some good fortune he escaped out of the window through -which the assassin entered. The murderer followed him a short distanee, and then returned and completed his fiendish work on Mrs. Stribble by half severing her head from her body with a razor He then got out of the house and attempted suicide by cutting his own throat with the razor. Henry and Joseph Stribble were alive at last accounts, Wednesday night, 10 o’cleck, but it was thought neither could live. Joseph had but just sufficient consciousness to avow himself the author of the tragedy by the use of paper andink. Noe motive is known. The parties are from’ Baltimore. Henry was about 30 years old, his unfortunate wife, Agnes, 24, and the murderer 28 years. Joseph set fire to the curtains after committing the horrible deed, the light of which drew people more quickly to the spot. The case has created intense excitement. Scnpay EveninG, June 19, 1853. Pursuant to notice the citizens of Grass Valley met at the M. E. church for the purpose of devising and adopting measures for the better observance of the Sabbath. Opened with prayer by Rev. J. C. Simmons, and music by the choir. On motion Wm. Elder was called to the chair, and S. G, Winchester appointed Secretary. Rev. Mr. Hale then briefly stated the object of the meeting, and offered the following resolutions, which were severally read, discussed and adopted : Resolved, That the Sabbath is a Divine in+ stitution, and that the obligation to observe it as such is universal and perpetual. Resolved, That the desecration of the Sabbath inevitably results in physical, intellec. tualand moral injury both to individuals and communities. Resolved, That we witness with deep sorrow the profanation of the Lord’s Day in our midst, and that we earnestly entreat our merchants, business men, public efficers, and friends of the Sabbath, to make a united effort to put away this evil from among us, On motion the following resolution was read and laid on the table for two weeks: Resolved, That we recognize the duty of encouraging these who do well, and witha view to that end, and torepair as far as may be the losses that may be sustained by any that have given up their Sunday business, we pledge ourselves to give such the preference hereafter in our trade, other things being equal. On motion of Rev. Mr. Dryden, the meeting adjourned to meet again in two weeks. Closing services by Rev. Mr. Hale. WM. ELDER, Prest. S. G. Wincuester, See’y. Per Adams § Co. News by the J. L. Stephens. A new territory, called Washington, recently established in the northern ~ of Oregon, has received Major saac H. Stevens, late of the U.S. Army, for its Governor. The precise boundaries of the new territory are yet to be established. The New York Crystal Palace is progressing rapidly; 400 men are daily employed in it; but lt is still thought that it cannot be completed before the 4th of July at the very soonest. The New York papers say, that the treasurer on board the steamer Union was plundered to the amount of 10 or $15,000 on her last trip from Aspinwall. One of the boxes was found filled with shot and old iron. The act is supposed to have been committed on board. The claim of the Rev. E. Williams to the Throne of France is still an open question. Mary Ann Williams, his (reputed) mother, has sworn positively to his being her child, in New York; whilst, from New Orleans, we learn that documents, highly in favor of his claims, have been brought to light. Monster SteamEer.—A late number of the Liverpool Albion says :—We understand that the contemplated vessel of 7,000 tons burthen, for the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, will be driven by two paddles and a screw, and that the power to work this combination ‘will be derived from three pairs of engines. It is to be constructed of iron by Mr. Scott Russell, under the inspectien of Mr. Brunnel. The health of the Isthmus was very good. The roads were, however, quite bad. The Star says: . ‘We are informed on reliable authority that the Cruces road is almost impassible, and that unless immediate and energetic measures are at once taken to repair it, it will soon be quite so.” Rom Cui.e.—A Mill Company has been established at Concepcion for the purpose of providing a romelas supply of flour at the lowest cost, and always to be ne meet the demand. e quantity of ; :— that of Tast eer: ee team communication with th . ern ports of the republic has ee mang lished ; on the 3rd of May the steamer New Grenada sailed for Censtitucion be Tulcahuana, Valdivia and AnThe Northern provinees still continue to produces large quantities of silver and copper; in the month of April the exports from the ports of Cald and Hunsco amounted to 29,645{marks of silver, 16,191 quintals of silver ore, and 16,094 quintals of copper. Grass Valley Correspondenee. Grass Vattey, June 21st, 1853. Quartz is becoming a quiet, steady, and lucrative business. While at one time it was made the “scape-goat” of shaping, scheming, swindling and the unprincipled basis of forming joint-stock companies, all of which looked very well on paper” calculated to fill the poekets of miscreants, but to impoverish those of bonest men, and to impair confidence in a most lucrative field for the judicious investment of capital, it is now firmly established on an indubitable footing of property, andin-time to come, will instance itselfasa fountain of wealth unequalled by any yet known in the El Dorados of old history. This reflection has been no less firmly fixed upon my mind by a recent visit and survey of the mining interests of the “Helvetia and Lafayette Gold Mining Co.” which was formed in July of 1852. This company have a mill with an excellent Engine, working that kind of machinery for crushing Quartzand saving the gold, which is most approved in the present condition of the art. The Mill has eighteen stampers, each weighing 800 pounds, and is supplied with its quartz, from claims whieh the company own, on Gold, Massachusetts and Lafayette Hills. The company has expended some $20,000 since August last in such operations as are necessary to open mines, in the way of sinking shafts and running tunnels besides what had been previously laid out. There are two tunpels in Lafayette Hill, one two and the other four hundred feet in Jength.— These tunnels have developed vast ledges of rock, and the working of a great number of tons, has proved it to be Quartz ofa most encouraging average yield. This hill was taken up originally by Frenchmen, who realized a handsome sum from it ina short while. ‘Ninetyfive thousand dollars waa taken out before the piesent company came in its possession, and all the operations on the hill up to this time, have but gone to Masonic Batt.—To-day the long expected festival of the Orderof Masons takes place at Grass Valley, to be celebrated by appropriate observances during the day, and by a ball in the evening. This ball will be made most attractive by the gallaxy of bright eyes that during the year past have risen on our social horizon, and we doubt not there will be one of the pleasantest festivals, ever held in the mountains. Besides the managers know now how to ensure all the pleasures possible on such an occasion, and have spared no efforts to do so. Fourtu Juzy.—We hear of balls and erations, &c., in various parts of the county for the 4th of July. At Moore's flat they have an oration and dinner. At Cherokee they have a ball at the Grizzly Hotel. At Crystal Springs they also have a ball. We believe nothing is yet on the tapis for this neighborhood. Would not a joint pic-nic between this place and Grass Valley, say near the Half Way house, or Camp Springs, be pleasant occasion. There are ladies enough to giye it zest. INDIAN Assassination.—We are informed by Mr. W. King of this eity, who was an eye-witness, that a young Indian of the Valley, of Parks’ Bar tribe, was murdered on Sunday !ast at the Tennessee House, on the Foster Bar road, by Ballaca, the Chief of the Mountain or Prentice tribe. The murdered man was taking a drink of water, a short distance from the house, when Ballaca’ slipped up quietly to within a few feet of him, and discharged an arrow into his left side. in the region of the heart. The victim lived but a few minutes after receiving the wound. Ballaca made his escape. The friends of the deceased immediately proceeded to burn the body—a very interesting ceremony, as Mr. King describes it. The two tribes are to have a regular pitched battle on Saturday next, in a valley three miles north of the Tennessee House. To the curious in matters pertaining to Indian prove the inexhausiable amount of] warfare, a fine opportunity will be afforwealth that is yet treasured within its ded for witnessing that, which, no doubt limits. Between the 23d of August and 19th of November, the mill of the Helvetia wiil prove a very exciting spectacle. Lota Montes.—Mr. Adams the agent and Lafayette G. M.

This mill ran all winter. The President and Superintendant is a large stockholder; he isa man of good judgment, and has managed the business with indomitable industry and perseverance. The prospects of this company are exceedingly flattering, and it is to be hoped that its continued success may elucidate the value and lucrativeness of this most important and misappreciated department of industry. The beautiful and unique mil? of John A. Collins is in rapid process of erection on the east side of Wolf Creek, next aboye the Empire mill. [t will be spoken of hereafter. It won the medal at the fair of the mechanics institute in New York city, and the public are anx-~ tous to witness its success. The social sentiment here is in a perfect uror. The carpenters are ruining the woods to adorn the new church—the ladies are in a bustle fixing for the Fair on the 4th July—the Masons are ma~ king every preparation for the Dinner and Ball of their distinguished anniversary, and citizen patriots, Odd-Fellows, Masons, women and children are all anticipating an honorable and gratifying display, on that happy and glorious day, that spread unutterable dismay,through the ranks of despotic sway. Let us remember the birth-day of Liberty, and study as becomes us, the way in which we may keep it secure. The Theatrical troupe of Messrs Tutbill & Anderson are performing with great ec:at. Last night was “Bill Barry's Benefit,” and the house was crammed jammed and overwhelmed with “laugh and be fat.” He isa comedian of rare talent and deserves such a testimony of public appreciation. Mrs. Waller's Benefit comes on Monday next, when the people of Grass Valley will show their estimation of talent and werth by giving her a full,house. Yours, just the same, PIKE. BayThose who regard these hot days as intolerable, had better visit Foster & Asher’s Ice Cream Satoon, foot of Main and Broad streets, where an antidote for hot weather is at all times to be found—one that never fails. yeh We understand the Theatrical Company return to this city on Tuesday next. The company generally have volunteered for a complimentary benefit for Mr. Tuthill on Thursday evening —-the last night this talented company play in this city. We doubt not the often proved liberality of Nevada will shine again on that occasion.

On Tuesday through the streets. There is indeed . night last Mr. Barry was saluted with a full house on the occasion of his benefit. The Repentant, Golden Farmer and Mr. and Mrs. White were played admirably, and Barry was himeelf in his best playing style. He is au fait in the “ business” of his parts, and always apt. Last evening was appointed for the benefit of Mr. G. V. Gates, a good actor, and laborious student. He aims high in his profession, and if dilligence and energy can accomplish his object he will attain it. The plays were Othello, and Family Jars. Mr. Waller appeared as Othello, Mr, .Gates as Iago. This attractive bill must have had a full house. To-night is comedy night, and several fine farces are introduced, including the memorable Bombastes Furioso, Taylor as Bombastes, and Anderson as Artaxomines, Barry as Fusbos—a worthy trio they'll make too. We advise visitors to look out for their buttons. To-morrow night they again revert to the drama—on the occascn of Mr. Waller’s benefit, when his master-piece of Hamlet is played, and a piece never acted there called Turn Out. On Monday night they bring out the beautiful play eons. that was played to crowded houses night after night in this city—Mr. Waller as Ingomar, the barbarian, gradually softened by magic love, and Mrs. Waller as the gentle, heroic maiden. The beautiful acting o the two principal characters in the piece cannot be excelled. They speak to the life and bring vividly before the eye the visions of the author. Barry's Polydore, the princely old miser, is itself worth the price of admission to see. The whole play isa luxuriant garden of poetic beauties. Ladies do not loose the opportunity to see this greatest dramatic miracle since Shakspeare. It isa new play, and has commanded the praise of acknowledged judges in England and America.

It is time for thoughtful action, and the delegates from this county to the State convention should be sterling, reliable men, who will ect with discrimination and impartiality. Happily there are no raging cliques in our midst to divide us, and we can all pull harmoniously together to one desired end.

The Sacramento papers give accounts of a shocking murder and attempted suicide in that city on Tuesday last. From the Union we learn that the residents in the rear neighborhood of the Marion Honse on J, Second and Third streets were reused between two and three o’ciock in the morning, by the shrieking of a woman, and proceeding to a small frame building, found the body of a young and handsome woman lying on the floor, with the throat cut from ear to ear, and a ‘heavy gash from the forehead back to the roots of the ear. In one of the front rooms, another man was discovered reeking in blood from a similar wound. The walls of the house were baptised in blood. The house was occupied by Henry E. Stribble and his wife, who were affectionately devoted to each other, and the murderer was the brother of the husband, Joseph Stribble. ~ The pairhad retired to rest in the back part the house, and had fallen asleep. About the hour mentioned Mrs. Strible was awakened by the entrance of a man through the window, and gave the alarm by screaming, but was in an instant after knocked down by the blow of an axe. A-second blow aimed at the husband inflicted a similar wound, but by some good fortune he escaped out of the window through -which the assassin entered. The murderer followed him a short distanee, and then returned and completed his fiendish work on Mrs. Stribble by half severing her head from her body with a razor He then got out of the house and attempted suicide by cutting his own throat with the razor. Henry and Joseph Stribble were alive at last accounts, Wednesday night, 10 o’cleck, but it was thought neither could live. Joseph had but just sufficient consciousness to avow himself the author of the tragedy by the use of paper andink. Noe motive is known. The parties are from’ Baltimore. Henry was about 30 years old, his unfortunate wife, Agnes, 24, and the murderer 28 years. Joseph set fire to the curtains after committing the horrible deed, the light of which drew people more quickly to the spot. The case has created intense excitement. Scnpay EveninG, June 19, 1853. Pursuant to notice the citizens of Grass Valley met at the M. E. church for the purpose of devising and adopting measures for the better observance of the Sabbath. Opened with prayer by Rev. J. C. Simmons, and music by the choir. On motion Wm. Elder was called to the chair, and S. G, Winchester appointed Secretary. Rev. Mr. Hale then briefly stated the object of the meeting, and offered the following resolutions, which were severally read, discussed and adopted : Resolved, That the Sabbath is a Divine in+ stitution, and that the obligation to observe it as such is universal and perpetual. Resolved, That the desecration of the Sabbath inevitably results in physical, intellec. tualand moral injury both to individuals and communities. Resolved, That we witness with deep sorrow the profanation of the Lord’s Day in our midst, and that we earnestly entreat our merchants, business men, public efficers, and friends of the Sabbath, to make a united effort to put away this evil from among us, On motion the following resolution was read and laid on the table for two weeks: Resolved, That we recognize the duty of encouraging these who do well, and witha

view to that end, and torepair as far as may be the losses that may be sustained by any that have given up their Sunday business, we pledge ourselves to give such the preference hereafter in our trade, other things being equal. On motion of Rev. Mr. Dryden, the meeting adjourned to meet again in two weeks. Closing services by Rev. Mr. Hale. WM. ELDER, Prest. S. G. Wincuester, See’y. Per Adams § Co. News by the J. L.

The precise boundaries of the new territory are yet to be established. The New York Crystal Palace is progressing rapidly; 400 men are daily employed in it; but lt is still thought that it cannot be completed before the 4th of July at the very soonest. The New York papers say, that the treasurer on board the steamer Union was plundered to the amount of 10 or $15,000 on her last trip from Aspinwall. One of the boxes was found filled with shot and old iron. The act is supposed to have been committed on board. The claim of the Rev. E. Williams to the Throne of France is still an open question. Mary Ann Williams, his (reputed) mother, has sworn positively to his being her child, in New York; whilst, from New Orleans, we learn that documents, highly in favor of his claims, have been brought to light. Monster SteamEer.—A late number of the Liverpool Albion says :—We understand that the contemplated vessel of 7,000 tons burthen, for the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, will be driven by two paddles and a screw, and that the power to work this combination ‘will be derived from three pairs of engines. It is to be constructed of iron by Mr. Scott Russell, under the inspectien of Mr. Brunnel. The health of the Isthmus was very good. The roads were, however, quite bad. The Star says: . ‘We are informed on reliable authority that the Cruces road is almost impassible, and that unless immediate and energetic measures are at once taken to repair it, it will soon be quite so.” Rom Cui.e.—A Mill Company has been established at Concepcion for the purpose of providing a romelas supply of flour at the lowest cost, and always to be ne meet the demand. e quantity of ; :— that of Tast eer: ee team communication with th . ern ports of the republic has ee mang lished ; on the 3rd of May the steamer New Grenada sailed for Censtitucion be Tulcahuana, Valdivia and AnThe Northern provinees still continue to produces large quantities of silver and copper; in the month of April the exports from the ports of Cald and Hunsco amounted to 29,645{marks of silver, 16,191 quintals of silver ore, and 16,094 quintals of copper. Grass Valley Correspondenee. Grass Vattey, June 21st, 1853. Quartz is becoming a quiet, steady, and lucrative business. While at one time it was made the “scape-goat” of shaping, scheming, swindling and the unprincipled basis of forming joint-stock companies, all of which looked very well on paper” calculated to fill the poekets of miscreants, but to impoverish those of bonest men, and to impair confidence in a most lucrative field for the judicious investment of capital, it is now firmly established on an indubitable footing of property, andin-time to come, will instance itselfasa fountain of wealth unequalled by any yet known in the El Dorados of old history. This reflection has been no less firmly fixed upon my mind by a recent visit and survey of the mining interests of the “Helvetia and Lafayette Gold Mining Co.” which was formed in July of 1852. This company have a mill with an excellent Engine, working that kind of machinery for crushing Quartzand saving the gold, which is most approved in the present condition of the art. The Mill has eighteen stampers, each weighing 800 pounds, and is supplied with its quartz, from claims whieh the company own, on Gold, Massachusetts and Lafayette Hills. The company has expended some $20,000 since August last in such operations as are necessary to open mines, in the way of sinking shafts and running tunnels besides what had been previously laid out. There are two tunpels in Lafayette Hill, one two and the other four hundred feet in Jength.— These tunnels have developed vast ledges of rock, and the working of a great number of tons, has proved it to be Quartz ofa most encouraging average yield. This hill was taken up originally by Frenchmen, who realized a handsome sum from it ina short while. ‘Ninetyfive thousand dollars waa taken out before the piesent company came in its possession, and all the operations on the hill up to this time, have but gone to Masonic Batt.—To-day the long expected festival of the Orderof Masons takes place at Grass Valley, to be celebrated by appropriate observances during the day, and by a ball in the evening. This ball will be made most attractive by the gallaxy of bright eyes that during the year past have risen on our social horizon, and we doubt not there will be one of the pleasantest festivals, ever held in the mountains. Besides the managers know now how to ensure all the pleasures possible on such an occasion, and have spared no efforts to do so. Fourtu Juzy.—We hear of balls and erations, &c., in various parts of the county for the 4th of July. At Moore's flat they have an oration and dinner. At Cherokee they have a ball at the Grizzly Hotel. At Crystal Springs they also have a ball. We believe nothing is yet on the tapis for this neighborhood. Would not a joint pic-nic between this place and Grass Valley, say near the Half Way house, or Camp Springs, be pleasant occasion. There are ladies enough to giye it zest. INDIAN Assassination.—We are informed by Mr. W. King of this eity, who was an eye-witness, that a young Indian of the Valley, of Parks’ Bar tribe, was murdered on Sunday !ast at the Tennessee House, on the Foster Bar road, by Ballaca, the Chief of the Mountain or Prentice tribe. The murdered man was taking a drink of water, a short distance from the house, when Ballaca’ slipped up quietly to within a few feet of him, and discharged an arrow into his left side. in the region of the heart. The victim lived but a few minutes after receiving the wound. Ballaca made his escape. The friends of the deceased immediately proceeded to burn the body—a very interesting ceremony, as Mr. King describes it. The two tribes are to have a regular pitched battle on Saturday next, in a valley three miles north of the Tennessee House. To the curious in matters pertaining to Indian prove the inexhausiable amount of] warfare, a fine opportunity will be afforwealth that is yet treasured within its ded for witnessing that, which, no doubt limits. Between the 23d of August and 19th of November, the mill of the Helvetia wiil prove a very exciting spectacle. Lota Montes.—Mr. Adams the agent and Lafayette G. M.

This mill ran all winter. The President and Superintendant is a large stockholder; he isa man of good judgment, and has managed the business with indomitable industry and perseverance. The prospects of this company are exceedingly flattering, and it is to be hoped that its continued success may elucidate the value and lucrativeness of this most important and misappreciated department of industry. The beautiful and unique mil? of John A. Collins is in rapid process of erection on the east side of Wolf Creek, next aboye the Empire mill. [t will be spoken of hereafter. It won the medal at the fair of the mechanics institute in New York city, and the public are anx-~ tous to witness its success. The social sentiment here is in a perfect uror. The carpenters are ruining the woods to adorn the new church—the ladies are in a bustle fixing for the Fair on the 4th July—the Masons are ma~ king every preparation for the Dinner and Ball of their distinguished anniversary, and citizen patriots, Odd-Fellows, Masons, women and children are all anticipating an honorable and gratifying display, on that happy and glorious day, that spread unutterable dismay,through the ranks of despotic sway. Let us remember the birth-day of Liberty, and study as becomes us, the way in which we may keep it secure. The Theatrical troupe of Messrs Tutbill & Anderson are performing with great ec:at. Last night was “Bill Barry's Benefit,” and the house was crammed jammed and overwhelmed with “laugh and be fat.” He isa comedian of rare talent and deserves such a testimony of public appreciation. Mrs. Waller's Benefit comes on Monday next, when the people of Grass Valley will show their estimation of talent and werth by giving her a full,house. Yours, just the same, PIKE. BayThose who regard these hot days as intolerable, had better visit Foster & Asher’s Ice Cream Satoon, foot of Main and Broad streets, where an antidote for hot weather is at all times to be found—one that never fails. yeh We understand the Theatrical Company return to this city on Tuesday next. The company generally have volunteered for a complimentary benefit for Mr. Tuthill on Thursday evening —-the last night this talented company play in this city. We doubt not the often proved liberality of Nevada will shine again on that occasion.
