Apr. 19 The Circus wiiich recently paid a visit to this place were at
Long's Bar on Feather River on Sunday last. They performed
three wights at Marysville and appeared at that place again
om Monday evening on their way to Sacramento via Fremont, where
they were to stap one evening. (Note: Pell's Circus) ’
Apr. 19 We last night attended the concert of the Kthiopian Seranaders
at the Empire and were highly pleased with their performances.
We have seldom witnessed such truthfulrrepresentations of negro
character as givem by this company. Winnemore is an unrivaled
performer on the banjo and the way "Swasha hands Across" was
cheered, evinces the tact and talent of the whole band. The
Statue Dance was a-fine thing, especially Bower's celebrated
Juba Dance which was a successful presentation of noted dancers,
different occunations, etc. The burlesoue of "lucy Long," by
Price, was loudly cheered and successfully repeated by the reciest of the ardience. The Seranéers wil! stop for some time
at Nevada ard we hope that their efforts to please will be
annreciated by our citizens.
Apr. 19The veins of quartz are universally found in a state of decomposition especial . y in the Gold Tuinel.
) Coyote Diggings:
The fact that none of the gold taken from the Coyote Diggings
has the apnearance of beimg subjected to any process of att rition
etc. It appears to lay im patches as if formed where it lies,
by some chemical agency, etc. These digcings are decidedly the
most remarkable which have been yet discovered in California—
indeed nothing in the whole history of mining, ancient or modern
can co pare to them.
Apr. 19 Sluice Washing:
A number of persons are now at work in the ravine north of the
city. The dirt has al! been twice worked over, generally with
common rocker. They are now working it for the third time with
the long tom and s\usce boxes. It is paying $12 per day to the
hand.

be a nightingale?
