88 APRIL 17, 1857 NEVADA JOURNAL
on the 31st inst. and May Ist. This is unquestionably the best Circus now in California, if not the best that
ever has been....
BURBANK & MITCHELL’S SERENADERS.—This excellent company treated the lovers of good
music and genuine fun, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, to the best entertainments of the kind that
we have seen in the country. Their arrival here was rather sudden, and not generally known, so that the
theatre was not quite so well attended as it would otherwise have been. They expect to visit us again in a
short time, when we know they will have full houses, for not a single person attended their recent
exhibitions, without being highly gratified and delighted. We understand they propose to go from here to
San Juan....
THEATRE.—The theatre opened last evening under the management of Mr. Potter. We [went] to
press too early to speak of Mr. Fleming’s representation of Richelieu. He will appear this evening as Sir
Giles Overreach. We regret that he is obliged to leave Nevada on Saturday. From what we have seen of
his acting elsewhere, and from the enviable reputation he has acquired throughout the state, we are certain
that our citizens will be sorry that his stay is to be so brief... .
MAN SHOT.—Two miners living near Grass Valley, having had their cabin robbed repeatedly,
concluded a few days ago to set a spring-gun in the cabin, so as to go off upon the opening of the door.
On Wednesday last, two persons, not owners of the cabin, attempted to open the door, when the guns went
off, and shot one of them, it is thought fatally. We have not been able to learn the names of either of the
parties, or whether the two persons went to the cabin with intent to commit crime.
NEW POSTAL LAW.—The leading features of the new postal act recently passed by Congress, are
as follows:
Books may be sent in the mail, prepaid, for one cent an ounce; provided they do not weigh
over 400 pounds, a distance of three hundred miles, and over that distance two cents an ounce.
Newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets, etc. to one address, and weighing at least eight ounces,
half a cent an ounce. Every circular, business card, advertisement, transient newspaper, or
other printed matter, one cent a sheet—not to weigh over three ounces. Postmasters are not
required, even as a matter of courtesy, to deliver papers or packages to clubs, unless they come
regularly addressed by mail.
