Local and 0KMM?rnl, First Class, .Th,c entertainment given by Rentfrow'a Pathfinders, at Wright's hall last Wednesday evening, was not largely attended, but was pronounced, first class by nil who witnessed it. and, better than any troupe that has visited VVijon for some time The price of admission charged bv the majority of troupes that vip jt ns, is ciltirciv too much, and not in ai-t'ordancc with the times, and if they are not greeted with large audiences, the reason should certainly be obvious to thcift. The troupes that have recently visited tljiis place, have been composed of th,e cheapest Kind of five cent men, who, wjicn in the caij. would not think of charging more than 'J.') cents admission, yet will visit the west, bringing their parsimonious habits with them, and pxpect ub to pay them a dollar ndru,Uston. This country is fast getting on level with the Kaste.ru state? in methods and manner of doing things, and the Mioner these itin erant showmen find it 011 tt the bypttcr it will be fur tlvciu... It Didn't Wokk. Our friend Jo,, Yew ell, of Pylc canyon, likes to. keep things in good shape around Ins premises, but candor compels us to admit that p,u is not a success in some thines. He put in the full day Tuesday, blacking t"s harness, with an original mixture of his, composed of lamp black, tallow, tar and several other ingredients which he thought would bo good. Wednesday ho hitched up his bay and white cvitteri and started to town. "When he arrived here, his friends were surprised to see Ju. driving what appeared to be a hrindle mustang from tl;o pampas of Honth America, and u beautiful black and white zebra froiu Africa. Upon clover investigation, however, the inccurecUess of their surmises was established and the true cause of the peculiar appearance of the animals explained. Jo. was a little hot in the collar and his friends forbore putting anv unnecessary questions. He will prob ably discard this new method of blacking In the future, Sebiols Accident. On Friday last Mr. Chas. Wilson, while riding near Mr, Con nor's residence, between here and High Valley, met witha very serious accident. The horse he was riding became frightened, and starting to run, stumbled and fell on top of Mr. Wilson, crushing his shoulder blade and collar-bone in a terrible manner lie lav in an unconscious condition for sometime, but was finally discovered by Mr. Connor, who conveyed him to his house. Dr. Capps was sent for and deviated the sufferings of the unfortunate lpim. who is now getting along as well as could be ex pected. Mr. Wilson is a poor map, and has a family, which makes this misfortune all the harder to bear. PuorosEP 0, R. it N, Leask,- A dispatch dated New York.

Donatt.ii Iiinr.itALLY. The committee of ladies appointed to see who will contribute provisions of different kinds to the celebra tion dinner, have been very successful. A few small-souled individuals refused to civc anything, but the majority donated liber ally. No pains should be spared to have plenty to eat, as there will be a vast multitudi of "strangers within our'gatcs" on that da;, and it would be a pity for any of them to go away hungry. Lost Roy. M r.s.
